Great ref
Great coach
Great guy
One of my favorite guys to coach against and talk about wrestling
It's not determined by RPI or coaches panel rankings? ;)
In all seriousness, that is a great honor...
Very Cool to see.
I wonder what his price is.

For the one paying the bill = too much
For the one receiving the payment = not enough
Room and board, travel expense, should about cover it. After all one must consider the honor and prestige and recognition and adulation and .........
Almost like a paid vacation.....
Think about it ... who on here wouldn't want to tell the Brands twins to go sit in the corner and shutup ;D and be in the right for doing so

Based on what I see when Iowa wrestles, not enough refs are willing to sit them down.
I'm sure the honorable Mr. Lehrke has a great deal of pride in wrestlers from his home state, and it is only natural for him to want to show some appreciation. In return, I thought we might find a way to show our appreciation to Mr. Lehrke.
Eric has officiated the D1's more than once previously.
Eric has been there the past few years and even did the finals last year.

You must have been waiting quite a while for the right moment to drop that one, Tom.

COngrats on this accomplishment (3) time. Always a blast reffing with you and talking wrestling.
Skards

You rang?
Yes...
Without looking it up, I bet you can't tell me who took third at 155lb in the 1929 NCAA National Tournament for Wisconsin.
He was not an anvil

George Martin?
In his third place match he really nailed it...

Full disclosure: I had to look it up myself, but I knew you would see the humor in it...
It was none other than Ferdinand Hammer.
George Martin was a good guess though... Coach Martin placed third in the NCAA Tournament in 1932, and was NCAA champion at 165 pounds in 1933

Dang .. .. I guessed TomM :-[ 1929 was my clue

I'm envious. I wonder if anyone has ever tried to make Terry Brands blink.
