Zain up for ESPY as Best Male College Athlete

It's a shame they didn't use photos from college competition for Zain. They should have used the photo of him bending Sorensen in half at Nationals, but then again I'm glad they didn't use the pics of him beating up old man Mayes.:p
 
It would be cool to see the national wrestling community rally around Zain for this award, team affinities put aside.

I don't post on TheMat, but maybe someone here who does might post a plea? I'll try my luck at HR. Crop try the G? '85 or Roar try 34 and Waiting? [Sorry CowboyUp -- couldn't help myself.]

Even if Zain has no chance, a bump in votes can only help with media support for wrestling, right?
 
Credit to crablegs for pointing out that another wrestler is up for an ESPY -- Snyder for Best Male US Olympic Athlete:

http://www.espn.com/espys/story/_/page/voting39/best-male-us-olympic-athlete

Also - credit to ESPN for allowing Snyder for being in the running as Best Male Olympian & Zain as Best Male College Athlete. ...

.... since Snyder wrestled half a college schedule and Zain was just amazingly dominant per bonus & during NCAAs.

Lazy journalism would have slated Snyder as candidates for both awards.

Hard to imagine based on his athletic and academic achievements that he isn't the best male athlete around
Oh, I personally don't think that matters to most. Football and basketball fans out-number hard-core college wrestling fans hundreds, if not thousands, to one. Swimming upstream on this one ... but we'll see.
 
Bump. Without me spending any time reading when voting comes to completion, its looks like the votes still count.
 
"It's a painful move."
Everyone make a huge push and vote for Zain everyday so he wins the Espy...Even non PSU fans should vote to promote the sport. Please vote from multiple devices everyday the next 10 days.
 
Ok, voted for Zain and Snyder is my computer messed up or don't they show the vote count?

Can't see the count. Gotta just keep pouring on the voted every day for the next 9 days. The Espy will be awarded on July 12th Espy's...Lets all do it for Zain and the sport. Wrestling needs a boost compared to some others. I think the Clemson QB will get a lot of votes. It's up to us. Remember you can vote everyday from multiple devices.
 
Spyker...don't let pish fool you. He was talking sh*t about you the entire time you were gone....

J/k Lol

I know you are joking. I have no problems with anyone that's an avid PSU fan! And that includes 21 Guns as well.

Unless someone trashing the program or just out of hand not sure why they would be banned.

They both bring positive energy to the board IMO. Now I realize sometime 21 will be like a rabid dog when it comes to certain topics but there is no doubt in my mind he's a knowledgeable and big PSU fan. I hope at least we see him back soon and I realize I'm in the minority

Good...I was hoping you had a sense of humor. But yeah....you and I think a lot alike when it comes to the people that post here most notably spyker. There's some craziness there but when you love a team and University like he does he should always be welcomed inmy book. And yes... I'm sure we are certainly in the minority when it comes to that...

If you have a plan for supplying 8 scoring wrestlers, for PSU, then we can open up a conversation about the viability of 21.

didn't you just pledge to the BWI gods that you wouldn't do this anymore? Literally 1 day out of the penalty box and you can't even help yourself.

youll hear after the BOT meeting.

Correct but i don't think it's going to be in 2 weeks.

So, in other words, dunk . . . Correct, but we'll hear something before the BOT meeting. But we'll hear after the meeting, so you are correct that we'll hear after the meeting. And we'll hear something soon. About Cael. But not in 2 weeks. It will be soon. And after the meeting but before 2 weeks. He is very good.

Maybe in certain situations you don't have to wait for a full board meeting. There are other ways to communicate with certain members.
