Mcllravy to National HOF this weekend



Gable once said that he was the only true freshman to ever come into the Iowa room and not take a beating. Well-deserved.

I believe that he was 1 of 2 including Randy Lewis as well. Either way, he was an unbelievable talent and a true GREAT Hawkeye!
 


He was by far the slickest Iowa wrestler ever. Everything great Hawkeyes have, plus everything the Okie State wrestlers had.

What does he do now?

he still lives in the iowa city area. I'm not sure, but i think he runs some hotels or something like that. At least that's what I've been told. I've seen him and his family show up at a few random wrestling meets.

He really was an all time stud. The match with Gerry Abas his freshman year in the finals was unreal. He and Joe Williams also had legendary battles in the wrestling room too.

i couldn't find the whole match, but the 3rd period is so sweet.
