    If the rest of it is half as good as the first section, I'm going to agree completely.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    Great article. Really weird that he ended up coaching at Iowa instead of Iowa State.....also weird to think that Iowa is the biggest name in wrestling, yet probably the two best college wrestlers are Gable and Sanderson....Iowa State guys.

    I'm seeing that.

    The author is the same guy who did "Ghosts of Old Miss" for "30 for 30".

    Great article.

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    Great read.

    Dan Gable is truly one of the greatest wrestling individuals ever.

    OK State and Iowa are two historic wrestling programs.

    Sanderson is starting one now in Penn State.
