if i'm a senior in college, and my weight class changes from the year before... do i end up like Kolat or mcilravy did when the weights in freestyle changed... a little aced out and in between...
great dual yesterday
OSU takes two of first three to put themselves in striking distance
fix gets the major to tie and enough points to win the tie breaker
smith isn't done yet it appears.. they knew how many fix had to score
as much as people bad mouth brands for his guys getting hurt...
here we are bad mouthing manning for doing the opposite...
which is it?
maybe the kid needed a break.
its not about us...
In 1854 Horace Greeley, a New York newspaper editor, gave Josiah B. Grinnell a famous piece of advice. "Go West, young man, and grow up with the country," said Greeley. Grinnell took Greeley's advice, moved west, and later founded Grinnell, Iowa.
to some extent im sure that wrestling enhanced their play in football... but there are many people in the NFL who didn't wrestle . probably some who only played football ...
so are you saying that bball is what made another guy great? was it soccer? ballet like lynn swann? no. they can enhance.
but these people are elite b/c of something else... not b/c they learned leverage in wrestling. they could have learned leverage playing football. or rugby or maybe they never did and have another way to win the one on one in the trench.
great post.
many of your points are good.
but i think that elite people are just elite. they are good at whatever they do. they have the drive to excel.
i know lots of kids who are obsessed with video games and good at them who can't do anything with their bodies of an athletic nature... and no they aren't overweight couch potatoes
its like saying playing multiple sports helped someone reach the NFL. no they are in the nfl b/c they are a freak of nature and were driven to be the best. they did all those other sports as well, b/c they realized they could dominate them as well in high school.
I saw derrick henry play in a high school game... didn't know who he was, and wondered why the game was on espn. then i saw this giant. i realized what was going on. henry would have dominated almost any sport he played.
im not holding my breath on burwick... he isn't scoring takedowns either, at least not in that match
i mean nebraska got two transfers at 133 and neither is really high level
there are still boring matches in freestyle
i watched sidakov in his final at yaryguin (spell)
they moved from the center maybe once. I didn't see a single attempt of any kind in the first period. both got a passive
in the second there was one shot that got finished... and then they walked around for another few minutes feigning ties and collars...
both would have been stalled out in a folkstyle match.
fan 1: man did you see that catch that julio made in the super bowl last night? it was amazing..how the hell he got both feet down...
fan 2: i know right, but he went out of bounds and that's a point, so the patriots won in regulation, they didn't have to go to overtime.
i agree that brands isn't going to win.
but, tell me now, you think that what star was doing in the 3rd period was cool? even before brands does his stupid mocking?
i mean save the ali stuff for when you beat a decent guy
