He continued to wrestle in intramural leagues in college. His dad, Bob, wrestled in high school when wrestling first came to the state of Montana. Zadick was a wrestler from the day he was born - whether he knew it or not. Zadick's beard is the least interesting part about Mike Zadick. 'There's a lot deeper roots in your body and in your soul than what you see on the surface.' 'If you're in love, and a woman really loves you, whether you have facial hair or not, that's not what she's falling in love with. 'I ain't shaving this for any girl,' he said bluntly. People have told Zadick if he's going to get a girlfriend, he's going to have to shave his beard. Nothing would get in the way of Zadick and his plane ticket. Iowa State wrestling coach Kevin Dresser said if Zadick was booking a plane ticket, he would be passionate about booking the plane ticket. He's passionate about wrestling, hunting, his beard - anything Mike does, he's passionate about. 'You see something and people want to refine it and simplify it and get an understandable entity. 'Three of our favorite people growing up had beards. Bill also has a beard, but it's tamer than Mike's. 'We both grew up watching Grizzly Adams and Dave Schultz - our dad always had a beard,' Bill Zadick, Mike's brother, said. It's how he's recognized, but it's not what he's recognized for. The beard is a part of Zadick, but it is only a small part of who he is.

It was a gift from assistant coach Brent Metcalf's mom. His coffee mug reads 'Respect the Beard' with a black iconographic beard that has a striking resemblance to his own. A scale and a tea station, each in their respective corners. He has two things he added to the layout of the office. They're tucked away on the bottom shelf in the corner, nearly out of sight. They house only a pair of Atlantic Coast Conference trophies Zadick got from his Virginia Tech coaching days. The metal shelves that came with the office are mostly empty, too. The headline dubs Sanderson the greatest to ever do it.

His desk is free of clutter and his walls are barren sans one life-size newspaper clipping from the Des Moines Register with a picture of former Iowa State wrestler Cael Sanderson. Now, the 39-year-old former Hawkeye wrestler sits in the Iowa State wrestling offices on the second floor of the Jacobson building as the Cyclones' associate head wrestling coach. He's traveled the earth to compete in tournaments. He's an Olympian, a world silver medalist and a three-time NCAA All-American at the University of Iowa. Only when he takes the beanie off, does he allow his ears to tell the story. The bottom of his Iowa State beanie covers the permanently-deformed ears that solely accompany a lifetime of wrestling. The final piece of Zadick's ensemble is the gatekeeper to the secrets of his past. Then you get to hear tales from a master storyteller whose skills were whetted from years around a bonfire. His sister, MaryAnn Jackson, said he was shy as a child. The closest he'll get to a reaction is a furled brow. His face doesn't move and he has no reactions. You can see him study the words as they depart your mouth.

His eyes are nearly as jet-black as his beard. He looks more like an outdoorsman, hunting guide or a ranch-hand. It'd be hard to tell by his appearance that he's a businessman who developed a Starbucks and negotiated contracts with national food chains.

He jokes he killed the gator with a knife. His jeans cover a pair of alligator-skin boots. The Great Falls, Mont., native has a large, gold belt buckle holding up his jeans. A few silver threads are starting to weave their way through the blackness down to the buttons of his red and black plaid shirt. AMES - Mike Zadick's beard is jet-black and goes down to his chest.
