Former NCAA champion and three-time All-America wrestler Anthony Robles of Arizona State joins Matt this week to discuss his remarkable story, the state of wrestling as a college sport and his recently published autobiography: "Unstoppable."
Among his observations:
-- On his first encounter with wrestling: "Instantly I was hooked. I wasn't very good starting out, but I loved the sport and I felt like it was for me."
-- When critics said he had an unfair advantage: "I got pretty angry, but my high school coach just told me, 'You know you're getting somewhere when people start talking negative about you.'"
-- On wrestling programs being cut out of college athletics: "I'm extremely disappointed, we're a very tight community - the wrestling family - and just one program going down, it hurts us all."
