I was at the Northern Plains when Lewboo "made his comeback". It was pretty awesome to see and his matches were definitely the focal point of the tournament. It's one of those memories I will never forget.
It’s borderline criminal that the Clark vs Tomasello semi is nowhere to be found…. Hint, hint @jrod65. 😎
Sorry my man. I have searched for this one before with no luck. All I can find is Flo's edited(and paywalled) version:
133 lbs Semi Final, Cory Clark (Iowa) vs Nathan Tomasello (Ohio St.)
No description provided
Don't sell yourself short just yet. From the video title it looked like it could've been 2 out of 3, so maybe you remembered the other match.
Don't sweat it. At least this one was from over a decade ago. I just re-watched this year's finals and was shocked by how badly I misremembered how some of the matches unfolded.
One of my favorite moments in a match was when I believe it was Kaleb Young a couple of years ago against Minnesota was about to get taken to his back and somehow was able to put the Minny kid on his back at the end of the match to win. Minnesota kid was a bloody mess at the end of the match. Not the biggest match as far as top ranked against top ranked but damn that was fun to see. Sorry not real good with specifics
Zadic vs Frayer. I finally opened this thread and could not believe this wasn’t on anyone’s list(unless I just missed it). I was waiting to sift through this because I knew I would want to watch a bunch of videos and didn’t want to be interrupted. Good thread.
The Gilman comeback at Minnesota after being ridden for what seemed like 4 minutes straight.
Who?
Big, big Zeke Moisey fan now!

The Lewboo vs Gibbons match was pretty awesome. It is probably one of the best examples of how fast the pace was back in the day.
Great match! Was one of the ISU assistants about ready to light one up around 1:35ish? Was bench smoking a thing back in the day?
Don't know how he didn't get stuck in the first period. Took some heart to fight that.
In terms of pure effort, nothing tops the Lou Banach match against John Forshee in the Iowa State dual, early 1980s. I think Banach was a freshman and the match was at 190. At any rate, Forshee was a tall lanky rider. I have the match on VHS at home and these are facts - Forshee rode Lou for over 4 minutes. During that four minutes (and I counted with pencil & paper in hand), Banach got to his feet over 20 times. That works out to once every 12-13 seconds over a more than 4 minute time span. Each time Forshee would throw him back to the mat and immediately Lou was working his way back up. As you probably guessed, Forshee wore himself out returning Banach to the mat and Lou pinned him at the very end of the match.
It was simply crazy.
It was simply crazy.
There were definitely some Banach brother matches that would be in my all timers. I don't remember this one in particular, but would love to see it.

Wow!! I thought I'd heard/read about every classic Iowa match, but that one is new to me. You need to post it somehow onto Youtube, so all of us can watch it.
