Congrats to "Tug" but this really belongs under the college wrestling thread. If you will notice, not many college wrestling posts get a ton of responses or notice. I think this comment is out of line and takes away from Landon's accomplishments.

Since you started us down that path... There are nearly 2.9 million people in Kansas. Over 1/3 live in two of 105 counties. The line for East/West equal distribution of population runs just west of Topeka. If you draw the line just west of Salina/Wichita which is where "you WK guys" like to then you are going to be looking at less than 25% of the total population. Now, is anyone shocked that more people talk about Eastern KS wrestling than western Kansas??
