Richard -- so glad to see you're still alive....

And for the record, while I was unable to get any placewinners while I was in Kansas, in my first year back in Iowa, I had two, which was a first for my high school.

As for the rest, you're right for the moment. Unfortunatly, the best Iowa high school wrestlers are leaving the state. Both of the four-time champs that were crowned this past season along with another top recruit are all going to Virginia Tech where Tom Brands (hey, he's from Iowa!) just finished his first year as head coach.

It is unfortunate that all three of our DI programs are struggling right now. On the other hand, it's nice to be somewhere that at least HAS a DI program as opposed to....well, whatever.

Thanks for your comments Richard; now get back to getting people fired, or whatever it is you do. And, of course, you have a nice day.
