The Sports Blanket is back and Bob Selby and David Bingham are ready to cover all thing sports. 

In episode 6 of the Blanket, the guys post up at the Iowa Hall of Pride in beautiful Downtown Des Moines, Iowa. Bob and David kick off the show by talking to Wyatt Schultz, owner and author of The Predicament, a publication that covers wrestling within the state of Iowa. Outside of The Predicament, Wyatt is a sports photographer and his works has appeared in publications such as Wrestling USA, USA Wrestler, Wrestling Insider Newsmagazine, and Sports Illustrated.

Next, the guys take a few minutes to talk to Matthew Lewis, a senior from Centerville, Iowa who just became 29th Iowa wrestler to win 4 state titles after defeating Osage's Nick Fox 3-2 in the finals of the state tournament at 145 pounds.. Matt talks about his wrestling journey and what his future has in store for him.

To wrap up the show, Bob and David dial up Gabe Bakker. Gabe has been on the guys' radar since he was a high schooler playing for Dike-New Hartford and talks about how much he is looking forward to making his return to Central Iowa and leading the program as the new head football coach at Waukee.

Back in the day my dad and I used to cross our fingers in hopes for the perfect football weekend (Wins across the board for Iowa, Iowa State, UNI, Pella Dutch and the the Minnesota Vikings. Ladies and gentleman it was a perfect week of football in our household. Today Nate and I break down the weekend of football, members of the RAGBRAI bicycle ride splitting off into the new Iowa's ride, updates on legislation (good news for Pitbulls and college athletes), and a fundraiser from a guy not named Carson King. Nice work Josh LeRette of Red Oak Iowa!
