This is the week of the "Quiet before the Storm". We'll take a good hard look at the season from hell as many coaches are calling it. Now that's not a bad thing, well maybe for coaches, but not for fans. This is the most exciting season we've enjoyed for many years. We've had 5 different number 1 teams, each deserved their spot in the sun at the time. We had a tremendous NWCA National Duals in Cedar Falls. The other events we covered so far this year have given me great hope for this sport and its people. I've said it before and will do so again, I'm lucky! I get to work with the greatest hero's a guy like me could ever have. Each of you, fans included, continue to inspire me to be a better person, to do a better job at telling your stories. Thanks for giving me the insight, the time and sense of belonging to a very special fraternity, Wrestling!
Join Scott Casber, Steve Foster and Jeff Murphy as we welcome-
Tony Ersland- Nebraska's Assistant Head Coach will join us to discuss the Big 12's, the recent drop to ISU and prepping a team for the run on the NCAA's. Tony's not just a good coach but a great guy. I'm happy to have him back on the show.
Dan Kilgore- Director of New Product Development for Brute Adidas joins us to discuss what's new on the wrestling equipment front. Yes there is new product out there and there have been some recent innovations with current products that make them last longer and make them better values.
Nick Simmons- The East Lansing Strangler makes his triumphant return to TDR. Nick is a favorite of TDR not just as a wrestler but as a person. He's having fun with his career and he's just fun to talk to. We'll discuss his recent successful run over seas and what he's doing to prepare for the Olympic Team Trials. Nick was one of the most successful wrestlers to ever compete for Tom Minkle and Michigan State.
Rich Fergola- Head Coach of NIACC in Mason City, Iowa. This young head coach was able to crown 3 NJCAA champions the Trojans finished fourth as a team at the 2008 National Junior College Athletic Association Wrestling Championships held in Rochester, MN last weekend. Fergola's team had six wrestlers earn All-American (top eight) status during the two-day tournament, the first the Trojans had participated in since the program disbanded in 1976. NIACC's wrestling program was officially reinstated in November 2006 and Fergola was hired as head coach in March 2007. NIACC was among 36 schools represented at nationals and the team's 109 points trailed only Iowa Central Community College (138), St. Louis-Meramac in Missouri (117.5) and Labette Community College of Kansas (111).
Mike McClintock- Owner of Sunflower Wrestling Supply. Mike's interest in wrestling is more than just sales. He understands the wrestling mind set. He knows that the last thing that needs to be on a wrestlers mind is equipment. He has aligned himself with the best brands and people in the sport today. He recently signed Cael Sanderson to a spokesperson role for Sunflower Wrestling Supply. A major pick up indeed.
Round Table Discussion with WIN Magazine's Editor Mike Finn, USA Wrestling's communications manager Dr. Craig Sesker, Intern Jeff Murphy, Nurse Steve Foster and Scott Casber make up this round table. We'll take a look at the Big 10's, the Big 12's, the PAC and other conferences as well. Seeding's for the NCAA's are on the line and we'll talk about that too.
So there you go. Another good show planned. I can't get enough. Join us LIVE Saturday mornings at 9:06 AM at KXNO.com, Takedownradio.com for America's Wrestling Radio Talk show. We don't have a dog in the hunt. We just love this sport as much as you do. Thanks to all of our great sponsors for helping to make this show a reality every week of the year.
