+ See More - See Less -Dan Gable climbed to the top with such determination and focus year after year as a wrestler. After going 117-1 as a collegiate wrestler, only losing his last match, he went on to win a world championship and a Gold medal at the 1972 Olympics. During his Olympic run in Munich, Gable never gave up a point.
The only thing that surpassed his remarkable and dominating wrestling was his success in coaching and training his Iowa Hawkeyes. Coach Gable won a record nine straight team titles at the helm of the Iowa Hawkeyes. His teams attacked the competition with an aggression that was uniquely "Gablesque". In fitting style, Dan Gable retired in 1997 only after his team took to the most dominating National Championship the sport has ever seen.
Dan Gable is a wrestling icon and a one of a kind leader of men. He currently has pulled himself out of retirement to, once again, help bring the Iowa Hawkeyes to the top, as an assistant coach to one of his former wrestlers, Tom Brands.

it makes me love wrestling more than i already do
A thought on 9/11
I saw the news flash on a sports board just after morning announcements.
At first I thought it was a Picture someone farked then I thought it must be a mechanical error.
Then I saw the second plane crash into the other tower.
I am old enough to remember the first moon walk, the last soliders leaving Vietnam, The Bcentennial celebration, even the killings at Kent State.
There was a very clear attitude that began to take over the school as the day went on. We would not react or cancel out of fear. the greatest tribute we could give those fallen that day was to go on living and being Americans. We played a 9th grade football game that afternoon. When the game was over both teams met at mid field and had a moment of silence afterwhich a spontaneous singing of the starspangled banner began. It was with out a doubt the most moving moments I have ever been involved in.
It is important that as we remember the events of the past we continue to live our lives thankfully and freely comitted to the things we give our hearts too. In this case the love of wrestling.
