I had the honor of meeting him Friday afternoon. I've been traveling back and forth to Iowa City everyday to see a sick relative at the UofI Hospital. Anyways, we stopped to get some pizza on the way out of town and as he was leaving the restaurant, I recognized him, introduced myself and asked if I could get a quick photo with my son. He was all for for it! Awesome experience! Great pictures..
We had a quick conversation on Iowa wrestling of course. I won't share all the details but I will say this. There are really good things ahead for Iowa wrestling! There are a lot of important people involved that want to see Iowa back on top & are working hard to help make that happen. He was excited about new facilities coming. He mentioned the expansion into women's wrestling, which can only help grow the sport.. He was very positive and had that forword "big picture" mindset when he talked. I certainly came away from the conversation even more excited for the future!
I know I'm just an anonymous poster on the internet so take it however you will I just felt like sharing my pleasant experience with a Hawkeye legend.
