This 125 lb wrestler is going to win NC. He may have advantage unfairly by being able to get lower. They say he can do 200 pullups in 2 minutes

He just won 8-0 the kid from Iowa looked scared to even engage him. Then he was confused oh how to wrestle him because he couldn't start his offense with a shoot

I guess that takes away the option of the double leg for his opponents...

that being said...if you can hit a single leg on him...

There was a guy that worked at the Yankees, no arms! He got more work done than I did, made more money, had a wife, a family, drove a better car than I did.

I really think wrestlers who wrestle against him are at the disadvantage. How many two legged wrestlers has he wrestled...and how many one legged wrestlers has his opponents wrestled. That a huge advantage.

Not to mention the whole legs worth of upper body muscle he has over everyone in his weight class.

Lets just say I don't feel bad for the guy.

I was telling my coworker about people with your "unfair advantage" point of view. The difference was the people I was talking about were Iowa wrestling fans. Guess I'd better add at least one tOSU fan to the list.

I wouldn't call it an unfair advantage, I just don't feel bad for him when it comes to wrestling. He is using what he has and not doing anything illegally.

That also means I don't like seeing him get special treatment by the media...I obviously know why its happening, but he really doesn't deserve it.

Sounds fair. I guess I lumped you in with the OP and what I saw on another board (bitter, bitter Iowa fans )

I say, whatever brings positive attention to collegiate wrestling is a plus. I was shocked when I moved to lower Alabama to find no SEC wrestling teams.

Slightly off topic, Penn State wins 2011 Team Wrestling National Championship! LINK with Team Points and Individual Brackets.

Yeah I got nothing against him or his team.

And yeah I agree that college wrestling needs more press. Cael sanderson brought more attention and this has been probably the biggest story since.

Congrats to Penn State. I did notice that the Big Ten was playing a large role in the tourney.

Excuse me? When you can not wrestle or get 2 pt takedowns but he can how is that fair? How is it that I'm bitter? It's just that everything you are taught about using opposite leverage goes away wrestling him.

Why can't you score a takedown?
