It is about two wrestlers who transferred from Wisconsin to Oklahoma because they thought they'd get better coaching.

Andrew Howe was a 3 time All American who was 2nd, 1st and 3rd in three years at the NCAA tournament for Wisconsin. He was runner up his freshman year due to being too passive in the final match. His junior year he had been injured but he lost in the semifinals and blamed the coach. He transferred to Oklahoma to follow an assistant coach who changed jobs. This year for Oklahoma he was undefeated until this past weekend when he lost in the Big12 finals because he was too passive. He qualified for the NCAA tournament and could be champion anyway. It was big news that he lost in the conference final.

Travis Rutt was seeded 4th in the 2011 NCAA tournament and finished 7th. Howe convinced him to transfer with him. He took off a year to try to qualify for the Olympics and as a transfer he had to sit another year.This year he finished 2nd in the BIG12, qualified for the NCAA tournament and is ranked : 7th nationally.

So transferring didn't make Andrew Howe wrestle aggressively in big matches and didn't make Travis Rutt higher than 7th.

I care.

I don't care and I don't believe lipp does either.

"When we allow ourselves to be receptive to another person, we have the capacity to resonate with the unconscious feelings of that person like a vibrating tuning fork. And when we resonate with those feelings, our whole being is involved-both mind and body."

“The obvious goals were there- State Champion, NCAA Champion, Olympic Champion. To get there I had to set an everyday goal which was to push myself to exhaustion or, in other words, to work so hard in practice that someone would have to carry me off the mat.”

Something else not to care about, Wisconsin's 141 lb wrestler, Jesse Thielke beat Purdue's Danny Sabatello 18-6 in the match for 7th-8th place, slammed him to the mat hard twice, yet the NCAA committee gave Sabatello an at large bid to the NCAA tournament and not Thielke.

Doesn't sound like you're resonating with Sabatello.
