After reading everything, this makes the most sense. He's too talented to keep out of the line-up, and it makes for a better team to go 125. Cutting can't be a half-butted thing though, or it doesn't go well, and even done right (nutrition, eating habits, sleep habits, study habits...need 100% commitment) it doesn't always work out. We have a guy being challenged as well...
I think Fix wins but if you're saying they wrestle 10 times and he wins each one, then I disagree.
Yeah--I mean, they wrestled for a freakin' half an hour once at WNO. Fix seems to have more offense, and upside, but NS, in spite of our desires to the contrary, is a brute.
Ditto, ditto. Moved on a long time ago, as have many. Still a handful of cling-ons.
NS was laid up in a hospital and hadn't wrestled for a month leading into the Bigs. Id suggest he was well below par but still got to the finals..
Near great wrestler. I don't see him beating Gross or Micic. Haven't seen enough of Fix, but based on results, that's a tossup at best.
Sure. I’d probably pick Fix too, but with some apprehension. It seems unlikely to me that Fix has jumped more levels than Nick since their match. I’d more confidently wager on a close match than an individual victor.
Against Spencer, Nick had nothing. They could have wrestled 30 minutes non stop and Nick was never going to offensively challenge Spencer. The jury deliberated and came back with a verdict. Diminishing the verdict with rationalizations does not change anything. Especially in a year when Jason Nolf wrestled on one leg and dominated.
I guess u didn’t c the interview with NS on flo or ppl just choose to ignore that he was in the friggen hospital and willed his way to the finals... NS ain’t dodging anyone.. he already issued the challenge that lee could bump up to face him when Iowa vs RU.
Some salty fans here still man... how ppl could say fix would def beat NS just shows they still feeling some type of way.. this matchup is a tossup at best with edge to NS i’d Say for college experience
Not familiar that NS made such a challenge - where did you learn of this? Doesnt seem his style to issue a challenge to SL. That would be cheesy in my book
Thanks for the link. Sounds to me NS is making clear hes not afraid of wrestling anyone. He wasnt challenging SL in the sense that he wants to wrestle him cause he thinks he'd win. It's more that he's not running from anyone.
And the guy you're challenging beat you in finals. So you challenge him to come up a weight to avenge his victory?
Usually when the guy that lost issues a challenge it's something like, "i'm coming for you....", not," I may be moving away from you,but you can come after me..."He's a great wrestler,wish he stayed at PSU but the flo willed his way to finals and all the tough breaks he's overcome is wrestling, not just suriano's wrestling, but everyone's wrestling . Guys have won titles and never got to the finals again.guys have AA'd that shouldn't have been wrestling etc, but he's the toughest, overcoming every obstacle,willing his way,blah,blah. They should make a movie about him,he's a hero, larger than life. .
He made it clear if he moves up in weight it has nothing to do wit anyone except his decision... not dodging anyone.. makes it to the ncaa finals right after being hospital bed ridden... guy has the mentality and heart of a warrior
I already said he's a hero. Only thing better than facing adversity and almost getting it done is facing adversity and getting it done. or as they call it in Pennsylvania- Nolfing It!
You've been on fire lately, Dan! Well played, sir.
Thanks. Need this season to start.You in Texas now? I was born in Fort Worth. Pop was stationed at Carswell AFB.
Action is making the finals when he was clearly not at 100%.. excited to c what a healthy NS can do this season.
I never said he was dodging anybody. If you are going to wear indignation you need to color coordinate the statement with suit of indignant.
Yessir. Not far from Bo’s HS. Total bonus points for me to have a “hometown” kid at the wrestling dynasty where I was born. I’m surprised that we don’t have more elite wrestlers coming out of the great state of Texas.
