1988 Sun Devils 'put West Coast wrestling on the map'

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Jim Gressley was watching the postgame celebration and interviews after the Minnesota Vikings shocked the New Orleans Saints on a last-second, 61-yard touchdown pass from Case Keenum to Stefon Diggs in the NFC Divisional Playoffs on Sunday.

The look on Vikings players' faces felt familiar to Gressley, who helped the 1988 Sun Devils wrestling team capture a most improbable NCAA championship.

"I'm sure that's exactly how I looked: total shock," he said. "To be honest, I still don't know if I believe we did it."

Gressley and the other members of that team will gather this weekend in Tempe for a 30th reunion.
