This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Not holding my breath but a lot of people would be thrilled. Those wrestlers were hung out to dry by ND in 1992.
You're certainly right about the football aspect. Just looking at the early Weis era: Ryan Harris was a standout wrestler, Trevor Laws was a high school wrestling state champ in Minnesota and John Sullivan was one in Connecticut.
All 14 Big Ten schools have wrestling. It's very strong in the ACC with Va Tech, NC State, UNC and Pitt all in the latest top ten. And the "aspirational peer" group continues to excel: Stanford won the PAC 12 title last year; Duke finished 22nd nationally two years ago; Army, Navy and Air Force all send multiple guys to nationals each year; Cornell is a national power and Princeton is in line for a top five finish this year.
