When Oklahoma State wrestling coach John Smith spoke to the media following his team’s 31-3 victory against Iowa State on Sunday, it was awkward, to say the least.
Smith was giving off a vibe that I’ve never seen from him before. He usually doesn’t shy away from ripping his team, but this time, he seemed to be at a loss for words.
The Cowboys had dominated the Cyclones, a team that they clearly outmatched, but the elephant in the room at Gallagher-Iba Arena was that Ian Parker, an unranked wrestler, upset two-time defending national champion Dean Heil.
