We head the TDR Brute adidas studios back in to the barn for a week
after all the excitement that is the National Championships. The fan
fest was nuts. Loads of things for people tio do and already looking
forward to Philly next year. Thank you to all the listeners and viewers
who stopped me, called me, texted me and o0r shook our hands. Good to
see and meet you all.
This week we take a look back with our guests -
9:00 - Kevin Jackson- ISU Head Coach. After his
first NCAA Championship we'll get his thoughts on preping his athletes,
his 2 champions and the attack of the next season. We'll talk Varner
and Zabriski
9:20 - Barry Davis- Wisconsin Head Coach- Coach of the Year. To
go through all Barry has gone through this year and have his team buck
up and do what they did was incredible. That's what wrestling is to me.
We'll talk about Howe.
9:40 - Jay Weiss- Harvard's Head Coach joins us and will discuss
J.P. O'Conner's unlikley role as champion. Seems like this is a kid who
is destined to wear crowns. What was the Jesse Jantzen effect?
10:00 - Brent Metcalf- Iowa 149 pound NCAA Champ. As close to
perfect as you can get. He had to give away a year due the pettyness of
administrators at his previous school but still performed his level
best. Hard Charging through the year, redemption after a Big 10 loss to
rival Palmer, Champion at the NCAA's.
10:10 - Jayson Ness- Minnasota 133 pound NCAA Champ. After close
years, heartbreaking finishes, standout performances, Ness was able to
put it all together this year. It wasn't the stars aligning, it wasn't
the tea leaves in the bottom of a cup. It was hard work. Plain and
simple.
10:20 - Matt McDonough- Iowa 125 pound NCAA Champ. A legacy at
Iowa, this kid just keeps getting better and surprizing even the most
seasoned fan. he's working toward his own records his own certain kind
of legacy.
10:35 - Kyle Dake- Cornell 141 pound NCAA Champ. The Big Red
wrestling team finished in second place at the NCAA tournament on
Saturday evening. Cornell had a total of four All-Americans with Mack
Lewnes taking second, Cam Simaz finishing third and Troy Nickerson
taking fourth to join Dake. The Big Red’s second-place team placing is
the highest in school history at the NCAA tournament.
10:45 - J.P. O'Conner- Harvard 157 pound Champ. J. P. has been
named EIWA Wrestler of the Year, after his championship performance at
the NCAA Championships. O'Connor went undefeated at 157 pounds this
season, finishing with a record of 35-0. O'Connor is the third NCAA
wrestling champion in Harvard history, and the third three-time
All-American. He placed fifth in 2007 and sixth in 2008, both times at
149 pounds. Previous Harvard champions were John Harkness in 1938 and
Jesse Jantzen in 2004.
