I you could edit after 15 minutes, you could have changed it, instead of it being written in stone.

I'd even rather have Reba! Not sure it would go over at the SuperBowl....but maybe????

I'd rather have Carrie Underwood!

or is it switty

Jimmy Cinnabon Posted Friday at 02:09 PM A Rocky Mountain High coach received a lifetime ban from coaching Idaho high school sports after striking a wrestler from an opposing school last weekend. A video of the incident shared with the Idaho Statesman shows Russell Brunson entering the ring and hitting a freshman from Nyssa, Oregon, at least three times during a match against Brunson’s son at the Skyview Duals on Saturday in Nampa. entering the ring????? didn't know this was "big time"

Way to pull that one off of your wristband!!!

Check your teamscore after 197....looks like you only gave OSU 12 pts. for a major

no kidding....pretty vague????

I'd put Mark Schultz vs. Ed Banach '82 NCAA Finals, near the top. Both 3 timers.

I saw Mike Mann's name mentioned above....I have a number of his matches in my library.....he was a great one that never won it. I just dug this up, because I knew had some great matches with Ed Banach (3 time NCAA Champion)....... Wrestling Mailbag: What's the deal with Iowa's lineup? Plus ... HawkCentral https://www.hawkcentral.com › wrestling › 2018/11/27 Nov 27, 2018 — Ed Banach vs. Mike Mann — These two four-time All-Americans met four times, and Mann won three of them. Banach won three NCAA titles and ... The 3 losses were early season, but Ed won when it counted in the NCAA Finals.

I remember it well, I was there ....Noble Arena, University of Oklahoma.

A number of good answers here.....here's another one.....Steve Hunte Iowa 1976 and 1978 2 time Big Ten Champion 1977 and 1978. Ranked #1 both years. Seeded #1 in '77 and Seeded #2 in 1978. He went 0-1 in '77 and 3 and 2 in '78, not placing either year.

I see that now...tnx

During that time period Penn State had Fritz to add to potential confusion NCAA Champion 1975 (great match vs. Milkovich)

Really good, but not even close to these top guys.

All 3....GREAT......Hodge Trophy was first awarded in 1995 (TJ Jaworski), so Smith couldn't have won it.

Oh...OK.....that explains it then....thanks Jason.

I just saw what I believe is the layout for it......is the tournament even big enough anymore that it needs that many mats????

Why aren't Midlands back at Welsh-Ryan Arena??

Merry Christmas to all! And here's to a great New Year!

Some of my "GOAT's".....won't pick just one.......in America first.....John Smith, Jordan Burroughs, Bruce Baumgartner (13 time world/Olympic medalist. Others throughout the world.....Arsen Fadzaev, Sergei Belaglozov, B. Satiev, Valentine Jordanov, Alexander Medved (12 time world/Olympic medalist....11 gold). *Karelin in GR. I like Levan Tediashvili on this list as well.....he won world championships in 3 different weight class, in Russia, he is considered by many to be their most techical wrestler of all time...has wins in the Olympic finals over both Ben and John Peterson. That's my rant, and I'm sticking to it...there could be others on my LIST.....LOL MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL ON HERE!

Thanks for the reminder......you reminded me of a great "read" in my library....."The New Breed" written by Lou Banach/Mike Chapman.....going to dust it off and reread it. All my "coaching" books are highlighted and hand indexed in the back for quick reference!!! Alger was one and Penrith another......but they weren't bad on the mat or as human beings, I just think they liked to drink. I think Penrith doesn't drink at all anymore. They are both in a number of hall of fames and went on to success internationally. I don't think you can put them on this team.

Who would you include besides the Brands??? Not sure I can think of anyone else.

Thanks, you were close, he did lose to Burley 8-7 in the Midland Finals, but it was in 1981. One of number of their classic matchups! Loved it when the locked up/upper body. There was a chance for some fireworks. I may even have that match in my library (super 8 transferred to video)....good chance I do!

As Lee Corso would say "NOT SO FAST".....I had to do some digging but I found it! An AWN/Mike Chapman article on Randy Lewis titled "He wrestled for the pin". In the article it states that Lewis wrestled 26 different men who had placed in the top 3 in World or Olympic competition, and he beat 23 of them. He also counts 25 NCAA Champions among his victims. His career record at Iowa is 127-11-1. Off the top of my head ....one of his losses was to an undefeated Mike Land (NCAA finals his freshman year)...then Randy won NCAA's in 79 and 80, in 81 got hurt (severely) and still took 7th. I don't know if he ever lost to Daryll Burley (4 time finalist/2 time champion) 2 losses were to Jim Gibbons the year he got hurt and 1 was to Ricky Delagatta. He may have lost to Delagatta more than once in his career. Delagatta never won it though, finishing 4-3-3. The Lewis/Burley matches were some of my favorite matches to watch....Midland's, NCAA's, East West All-Star/
