They were counting down most consecutive title win streaks at the highest levels. Cael's 4 NCAA championships was number 8.
On a side note, the announcer (not sure which guy it was) almost said Ohio State. He corrected himself after starting out with Ohi--.
It was Mike Greenberg. He also said that Cael is now the head coach of the Cyclone wrestling program. At least he didn't say Haw-Cyclone.
anybody have the complete list?
I can forgive that. "Ohi" and "Io" are practically the reverse of each other, and if you get you're tongue twisted, it's pretty easy to get the vowels switched around.Quote:

I'm missing two.
My mom bought my dad a shirt for Father's Day. It reads "The Buckeyes welcome you to Iowa, the great potato state!" Below it has an outline of Iowa with random cities within in. Des Moines is in the far southwest corner, and then there's Akron and Cleveland and Boise and so on, and big lakes that don't exist.Quote:

2. My favorite quote from a t-shirt-
I'm from Iowa
It's a state.
We grow corn.
Not potatoes.
3. My 2nd favorite quote-
The University of Iowa
Idaho City, Ohio.
p.s. Yay for me! I've made over 100 posts!!
They have a shirt similar to that our at Scheels in WDM!Quote:

Man I love that shirt. It is so classic because by the time the music gets here or clothes or trends they are already out of date in the major markets.
That is a high-quality shirt. Those were made by an enterprising grad student at Iowa in the 80s. He was printing them himself for a short while, then having printing places make them out of his own pocket. They got so popular that local stores licensed (or something) the design from him and sold them commercially. They're utterly impossible to find anymore, but they're awesome. (Printed in John Deere green on cornsilk yellow, of course.)Quote:

I have to agree, though, that I doubt anyone will ever have an undefeated wrestling record in college ever again.
