Good read. ThanksPrecisely. Mike Mann epitomizes being a Cyclone (no offense intended; guy was flipping awesome for us; but we’re used to the nutcup). https://www.thepredicament.com/2015/05/mike-mann/

It was 3. Junior year runner-up to Schultz when NCAAs were in Ames. Nate Carr vs Kenny Monday was the other classic that year.Might have just been two. Greatest title match I can remember was him versus Mark Schultz and Schultz got him there.
Do you know if Ed Banach is still employed at ISU? He would have been great as a coach but that ship has sailed.
You are correct. Nate was our only champion that year it looks like. There were three sets of siblings that AA that year. It was really a family driven sport at that point. The Gibbons bros for ISU, the Schultz brothers who both won titles as underdogs, and the Banachs.It was 3. Junior year runner-up to Schultz when NCAAs were in Ames. Nate Carr vs Kenny Monday was the other classic that year.
Ha. Didn’t realize who I was replying to.
Predictions:
125- Lee MD Mackall 4-0 IA
133- Small Dec Glynn 4-3 IA
141- Parker Dec Desanto 6-4 ISU
149- Degen Dec Lugo 9-4 ISU
157- Young Dec Carr 9-7 ISU
165- Bull pin Straw 13-9 IA
174- Kem MD Coleman 17-9 IA
184- Colbray Dec Wilcke 17-12 IA
197- Warner MD Shapiro 21-12 IA
Hwt Cass Dec Gremmel 24-12 IA
Could see Carr beating Young to make it 21-15 IA, but unfortunately have a hard time seeing it much closer than that. This is a really good Iowa team that could very well win nationals in March. I would be happy if we win 4, really happy if we can win 5 matches. Ultimately I am just looking for fight and toughness from our guys.

I'd be surprised if Warner MDs Shapiro. I think Cass gets more than a dec win over GG.
I'm high on Grem but I think he at gets majored and I won't be surprised if he gets stuck. Not a knock on him just think Cassioppi is on another level. Hope to be proven wrong of course. I'm optimistic about Shapiro long term but who is high on him right now? After watching him at Harold Nichols and against Bucknell, he clearly has a long ways to go. He's going to take his lumps this year for sure. Again hopefully he proves me wrong and gives Warner all he can handle and then some.Could be. I am more bullish on Gremmel this year than most, and also probably not as high on Shapiro as some are.
