Allow me to ask a dumb question....

It's been only recently -- in the last 2 years -- that Gable finally stopped referring to UI as "us" and "we" when doing color analysis for wrestling broadcasts. I don't blame him for that, though. He spent over two decades in the wrestling room over there.

You must not have listened to the broadcast this year.

We both claim him to some degree. I think people recognize what he did at ISU and appreciate him for that. At the same time, he's been involved with Hawks wrestling for 32+ years... I can see why he views himself as a Hawk. You spend 32 years anywhere and it's understandable.

At the end of the day, Gable loves the sport of wrestling and will do whatever to try to keep it going. He was instrumental in bailling out Arizona State wrestling so they could have a program, and as a wrestling fan, I want to see the sport at the collegiate level. I can respect him for that.
