And I think Hopke wins a rematch if he gains confidence. And cost a team point with his antics. Old enough to have voted against the Ford-Dole ticket.

Between their slobbering over him, and the traditional Ferrari Family Let's Stand Around For 7 Or 10 Minutes In The Middle Of What's Supposed To Be A Wrestling Match, that was hard to watch. I actually think he goes with the splits after the match as his peace offering to the Big Ten Network--people aren't going to turn off the boring wrestling and kill your ratings because they have to stick around to see if I might turn the crazy loose after my 2-1 hand raiser. Compare that to his brother, whose antics were only before the match, which left no promise of something exciting to look forward to after 10 minutes of crawling around the mat on one knee.

No different then Allred's strategy against McEnelly. If the other guy is good at reattacks, no reason to shoot a lot. Not really much of a weight advantage here. Hopke is 245. I don't know what AJ weighs, but I've heard people say upper 230s.

But what else is Manning going to say? No coach is going to say, "well he's kind of a cancer, but he wins a few 2-1 matches for us". They say he was not popular with the team at Iowa at all.

He could say: AJ hasn't yet given the double bird to Nebraska fans so maybe he likes it here for now. .

RawDog Posted January 18 Posted January 18 I was really impressed with Hockaday (hardys backup). Vombaur is tough as nails and I think beat hardy last year at big tens. Hockaday gave Vombaur all he could handle. The Hockaday kid is gonna be a stud.

Hardy pinned VV in the first period in the finals.

And Hopke lost. That is why I think if he gains confidence, and he continues to get better every match like he has; he wins the rematch...that is if Ferrari even makes it that long on the Husker's team.
