Iowa wrestling deserved spot on Top 10 list

How in the name of Dan Gable can a list of the year's Top 10 Iowa sports stories fail to mention the third straight NCAA wrestling championship won by the Iowa Hawkeyes? The Associated Press writer who wrote that story in Sunday's Gazette must have knocked back a few too many eggnogs at the office Christmas party.
If the list had contained 10 truly momentous stories, it might be slightly more understandable, but using two separate entries for essentially the same story (unsuccessful basketball coach gets fired at state university)? That's just silly.
Give coach Tom Brands and the Hawkeye coaches the respect they deserve.
