Great ref
Great coach
Great guy
One of my favorite guys to coach against and talk about wrestling

[Wisconsin Wrestling Fan]

It's not determined by RPI or coaches panel rankings? 

In all seriousness, that is a great honor...

Very Cool to see.

[Huckfinn]

I wonder what his price is.

[badgerjohn]

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     and be in the right for doing so

who on here wouldn't want to tell the Brands twins to go sit in the corner and shutup 

Based on what I see when Iowa wrestles, not enough refs are willing to sit them down.

[Huckfinn]

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.
