I've never changed my life since I was 4 and went to the YMCA with a gym bag. I still have that philosophy. In fact, I still have that gym bag.

I don't think college wrestling is in danger of extinction by any means. But I am concerned if one program drops.

I never won anything by myself. I was always strong because of help that gave me extra strength to win.

I'm delighted to be back in coaching. Our goal is to put Iowa wrestling back on top, and I want to do everything I can to make it happen.

A lot of my intensity in wrestling was due to my mental preparation before the matches. I got myself into a different world.

Many of those who have paid the ultimate price for freedom have come through the wrestling ranks. We need to honor them and win this decision to have wrestling - the world's oldest sport - remain a part of the most prestigious athletic competition in the world, the Olympics.

The easiest thing to do in the world is pull the covers up over your head and go back to sleep.
