I qualified for the 1974 NCAA finals in Ames. I was a 190lber at ECU. When I entered the wrestling room I noticed a large group of wrestlers down in one corner. I quickly learned Dan Gable was taking on all comers” I had to get my shot. I did, but didn’t last but a few seconds. I am privileged to even tell this “true story”!
21 century is a joke....Gable produced not only the most NCAA champs but also world champions, Olympic gold medalists and high level coaches...Cael gave up points in the Olympics..Gable not one point...John Smith got 2 Olympic Gold medals and 4 world championships ...Baumgartner got 2 Olympic Gold medals and 3 world championships.....long way to go for Cael to beat that
Gable was busy beating the commies on the mat. Re the war, he may have been exempt due to the brutal murder of his sister - not wanting to take both children away from the poor parents.

A true champion and a great man. I met him several times and he's the real deal.

Dan Gable is the greatest wrestler and coach of the 20th century but Cael Sanderson is the greatest wrestler and coach of the 21st century.

Jimmy Niblettt - The Man of Granite: See my other videos to see more.
Given his fitness, how was such a good athlete able to dodge the draft and avoid Vietnam (the war which took most young men, including me)?
