Hannah & Brian at Johnny Rockets
Brian and Dan Gable
Brian & Tom Brands Iowa head coach
Friday night is our family night so last night we had dinner at Johnny Rockets at Westgate then on to see the Iowa Hawkeys wrestle the Arizona Sundevils. This was the fist time Hannah & Joshua went to a wrestling meet, Hannah wasn't feeling really well so she wasn't too impressed and just wanted to go home but Joshua enjoyed it and wanted to be down there wrestling. (I told him to hold on he would be soon enough) Much to our happiness Iowa won 36 -3 (not that this was a surprise they are ranked #1) they took 9 out of 10 matches and only lost the 1 match in overtime. However Arizona has a guy who wrestles at 125lbs who only has one leg he was pretty amazing what a great wrestler he barely lost to Iowa but oh what a match very impressive. When we first got there and walked in Dan Gable was standing at the door and struck up a conversation with Brian who was wearing his Iowa Hawkeye wrestling t-shirt, now you need to understand Dan Gable is the best wrestler ever and one of Brian's hero's in the sport this was quite a moment for Brian to be carring on a conversation with this man whom he has admired since he was a kid. Tom Brands who is now the head Iowa coach (also an amazing wrestler in his day) took time to say hello to Brian and pose for a picture. This was a very fun family night probably more for mommy & daddy but glad were able to be there.
