J Rob goes to Iraq

ideamark · 10-26-2009, 10:16 PM

This time of year, most college wrestling coaches are busy getting their wrestlers ready for the upcoming season.

J Robinson, head coach at the University of Minnesota, took a week off in late October to visit the US troops in Iraq.

To read about his trip, see photos and read J Rob's journal while in Iraq: http://www.gophersports.com//ViewArt...CLID=204821701

Class act, but we already knew that...this guy practices what he preaches.

That's pretty awesome.

Class act for sure. If I had a kid on my team that was D1 capable (or a kid of my own) J. Rob would be on my short list of schools I'd like to see him at.

Very cool. After his talk, I bet the troops are all jacked and ready to kick some ars.

Does J Rob have a military background? I can't remember but I thought he did.

J was in the Army Rangers.

If I was to pick one guy to go up against Chuck Norris, it would be J. Rob. :-)

You have to know that these boys listen just a bit more to one of their own.
