    I grew up poor, wrestled. I was not that great. My brothers wrestled too. They were much better. Dad was a former Marine, Mom was quiet. But there was a trust and intensity and hard work ethic that this video captures perfectly. Wanting and need opportunity, taking a chance, wanting to grab the brass ring. Thanks for posting this vid.

    The first time met Royce was at a dual between IOWA and OKLA ST in Stillwater. He was coaching at this piont in his career. Within a few minutes he was treating me like an old friend. Good dude.

    This is awesome. To hear these inside stories is priceless

    God bless your Mom Royce, I probably enjoyed the way you wrestled. You would always get your opponents pissed-off and then you would dominate them! Truly a Dan Gable wrestler!

    "Is this the way you want it?!" "Faye?!" Awesome story. Alger is funny dude and a great hawk.

    Still love the Lisbon Lions, and I'm a CR Wash boy, just wish the Sutliffe bridge was still around. I still watch "The Final Season", see the bridge, what a tragedy. Go to the corner store across from the fire dept. and get some catfish bites and a beer from the cooler...take 'em out on the bridge.
    I know that I'm in a better place, but home is where the heart is....

    "Is this they way you want it? Faye?" about had me in tears, haha.

    Royce if you're reading this: I went to school with your cousins, David and Dean and was good friends with Rad (Bulichek's) bouncing. Yes I know Big Jim...I was Gary Mccall's wrestling partner in the room at Wash... I still remember the time we went to Mayflower and you took Ed Horton through the wall ( you said a word you should NOT have said) And Brad Penrith came across the couch and clocked Roy Marble, giving him that big black eye...tell me I'm wrong...

    I grew up in Iowa and now live in Indiana and I tell the wrestlers at the big schools in the suburban Indianapolis area, they should try and take on a couple of tiny schools in Iowa (Lisbon and Osage) and see what happens. I tell them they would be in for a horrifying surprise. They believe me.
