If I have to be Bob Costas after both the real and fake ODB interviews in 1998, fine. But, what is not so fine is Iowa Wrestling is in a valley, and all the account is dismissing what would have been your next Mark Ironside or Eric Metclaf in the process. The last time Mr. Gable fought our fights was 20 Years Ago, when we where at the telltale tail end of Classic Simpsons.
Sadly, we already have an Iowa Valley to the West of Iowa City and it has a horrible habit of Flooding like 1993. But, what is beyond sad is we have responsible young men and women going into the world with no Big Ten Gold, or Trophy Color, and to make matters more intense, we should have won Pasadena like some of our conferences.
And, having a youthful Hawks, no matter how relentless to the grindstone, is dangerous. The fact is, we outlived 2000-2005 and not in a good way. I don't think my alma mater would beat, or whale New Jersey Ramsey Don Bosco with empty emotion the way some of us have our sugar in stress. And, if Leath took his plane to Auburn and left Iowa State to rally on Lazard and Campos, it would not add a penny to Iowa City in taking a Gable the same Iowa City did in the 1970s.
Where Iowa was giant was a collapsing sport. Conversely, if you have an expanding sport again, you can't just be salty at those who aren't Golden Gophers because their books where issues.
