Joe Castiglione,
My son was on a team that won 4 state high schools titles, he won 2. He walked on at OU to wrestle, but got his shoulder hurt and had to quit.
Hw would come home and tell us that high school practices were harder than at OU. I think this says that Jack does need to go.
After his comments I am convinced that JACK SPATES LIVES
IN A DREAM WORLD. Nothing is ever his fault, “we had this”
or “we had that”, the guy has a book full of excuses. (big book)
Only 5 teams in the Big 12 and where did Spates and OU
finish. I will give you five guesses and the first four don’t count.
That’s right, FIFTH. Spates has had plenty of years at OU and
if he hasn’t won anything yet, he AIN’T GONNA. OU wrestling
keeps sinking lower and lower.
Amazing entertaining thank you, I do think your trusty audience would surely want a good deal more content familiar to this keep the great nice work.
Joe Castiglione are you watching……….Spates needs to go.
