Who would you remove off the list to add Metcalf? Metcalf was #6 on my list.

[MeatMan]

how about Barry Davis or Jim Zalesky?

pulled up a quick list. yikes. i don't want to do this.

I know I'm bias having gone to school with him, but I have always though Eric Juergens should be in these lists 4 time AA and finishes of 3, 3, 1, and 1

Ed Banach?

got to take Ironside and McDonough off the list. have to have at least 3 NCAA championships to get on the list.

here's a nice little article i just found. now, of course i don't remember the 80's, but we had some dominant guys then.

Looking back at Iowa Wrestling history it's impossible to put together the top 5. I can agree with removing Ironside, but not McDonough.

Then you also have to take into consideration of Joe Williams who was one of the best wrestlers in the 90s. Then you have Zalesky as you mentioned, on top of that you have Terry Brands.

I give up. This is crazy ridiculous looking at the past NCs from Iowa.

agreed. you can probably make a case for McD when/if he wins it again this year. oh, what could have been if not for that ASU wrestler.
