Not a has been. More of a never was

@LifeAtPurdue That is good. He and the board of trustees wasting money on Purdue Indy. Focus on what you are good at. Ag and Engineering.

[Eric Coates @eric_coates70]

@MizzouWrestling Say what you want but these men are elite athletes battling other elite athletes who all work their butts off. Most of us only dream of doing what they do at the level they do it. They will be fine. I appreciate getting to watch them. They are not ass!

[Eric Coates @eric_coates70]

@PurdueWrestling That was such BS they called a stalling on Blaze for no reason and nothing until 2 seconds left on Franek. Such crap

[Eric Coates @eric_coates70]

@MrPatMineo Pretty sure they should just make another Division for PSU or all other programs move to DII. Not even fun to watch anymore.

@PurdueWrestling @Matt_Ramos2 I honestly don’t care if this kid wins or loses. I love his effort, I love his attitude. He battles back after adversity every time. He does not complain, he does not quit, he just keeps working. He is the type of young man I want my son to look up to and to be teammates with

[Eric Coates @eric_coates70]

@PurdueWrestling @Matt_Ramos2 Ok, that was sweet

[Eric Coates @eric_coates70]

@PurdueWrestling If this makes our giant wrestle that good, feed him an elf before every match.(no elf’s were harmed in the making of this photo)

[Eric Coates @eric_coates70]

@PurdueWrestling @JamesRow_1 Put the Rowley caps on. This man has it rolling.

[Eric Coates @eric_coates70]

@PurdueWrestling @JamesRow_1 That’s how you finish a takedown. Plant him

[Eric Coates @eric_coates70]

@PurdueWrestling Cruzing to another W!

[Eric Coates @eric_coates70]

@PurdueWrestling First of many!

[Eric Coates @eric_coates70]

@PurdueWrestling @ike_ruble Be like Ike

[Eric Coates @eric_coates70]

@LibertyStrengt1 @LJaysWrestling @LHSBlueJays Several wrestlers on that list

[Eric Coates @eric_coates70]

@JamesRow_1 @PurdueWrestling That is the right attitude that will get you where you want to go

[Eric Coates @eric_coates70]

This is the day we celebrate all the men who have been there for us and taught us about life. For some of us it is a painful reminder of all our shortcomings and failures in the most important role we ever had and screwed up! Happy Fathers Day to all the good ones out there!

[Eric Coates @eric_coates70]

@PurdueWrestling @Jaden_Reynolds3 that was a tough first round matchup but I know I see improvement every time out. Keep grinding!

[Eric Coates @eric_coates70]

@PurdueWrestling Who needs coffee, that got the heart pumping!

[Eric Coates @eric_coates70]

@PurdueWrestling @DustinNorris13 better believe he can beat any of these guys. He is that good. Cannon has unbelievable bottom movement but I will take Norris any day of the week. Keep fighting!

[Eric Coates @eric_coates70]

@LibertyStrengt1 @LHSBlueJays @JaysFootball @LJaysWrestling what most people don’t realize is that before wrestling season he could only do 135lbs. That’s what being a state finalist wrestler does for you!

[Eric Coates @eric_coates70]

Got to watch him wrestle four matches for a grand total of 1:32. Although one match was zero seconds as the kid refused to wrestle him and decided to take his chances on the backside.
