Have not really watched too much wrestling before, but decided to watch the national tournament on ESPNU because one of my son's volunteer coaches is wrestling in the 197 ib division. Really is kind of fun to watch and the Big 12 is well-represented. They were talking about how Kirk Ferentz, Iowa's football coach, loves to have linemen that were former wrestlers because they have a good sense of balance and know how to use their hands and shoulders to gain leverage advantages.

I'm watching on ESPN360. I grew up in Big Ten country, where college wrestling was a much bigger deal.

My favorite part about wrestlers is that they give such awesome post-match interviews. They all seem to be well-spoken, and they give real insights, information and emotion. Not just the "well, we needed to go out and play better, and we got beat. Not to take anything away from my opponent. There were 2 teams on this field and only 1 could win. We gave it our all out there" garbage that you hear in other sports.
