    Varner always drove me nuts when ISU wrestled Iowa because we could never take him out. Awesome achievement for him, the guy's a dominant champion and represents ISU and USA with class.

    We now have one more Olympic wrestling champ than does Iowa; 6 vs their 5 I think.

    Do you know why I put up with this 'pitiful job', Mr. Donaghy, why I fetch these folks' lunches and clean up their barfs? Cause they make television. And more then jazz, or musical theater, or morbid obesity, television is the true American artform.

    Does this put an end to the debate Varner is better than Metcalf?

    Reminder that NBC should be showing the wrestling medal matches at 1:30 Central. Varner's would be the last one if they show all 5 but they might only show his.

    strange comparison considering they wrestled different weights by about 50 lbs

    it'd be like comparing the 100m champ in track to the 800m champ and definitively saying one is better than the other
    I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I'M FEELING 22!
