Wow.

 

[skintight]

Gordon from UNI is ranked 16th at 285. this will be a more difficult task

Nash out of high school was rated the best overall heavy weight in the country. He could go undefeated and win the NCAA heavy weight division if he sets his mind to it. Never underestimate this young man!

Yep, very good football player but elite wrestler. If he committed to wrestling, would not be surprised if he was an Olympian. Happy he’s able to do both.

 

[skintight]

wow both Robb and Hardy lose in very close matches. huskers down 6-8

 

[skintight]

huge win by Bubba 12-8 Huskers

 

[Huskers123456]

I really hope Rhule wins and stays awhile. Guy just seems to bring good vibes to our entire athletic program.

 

[skintight]

Ohhh snap huskers are down to HVY and up 18-13

 

[skintight]

omg -1 for throwing headgear 17-13

 

[PvilleHuskerTim]

omg -1 for throwing headgear 17-13

The penalty seemed to occur in an early match. Any idea who it was on?

 

[skintight]

jeesh 17-17 major dec at HVY both teams received a team penalty UNI is tough a team and just a tough match up

tie breaker --Huskers but they will drop in rankings imo

[king_kong_]

How much weight is he dropping to do this?

Sherman said he dropped ~40lbs

Rhule was good with it

Wrestling has to be one of the most intense sports to watch. I can only watch for short periods of time.

 

[Husker Todd]

Just an awful idea
You are going from a meatgrinder of a season where basically your body is getting worn down the entire season and by the end most are playing through all kinds of ailments and then jumping into another high level sport that wears on the body while at the same time cutting 40-50 pounds

No time for optimal recovery between seasons

There is a reason why NFL players have stipulations in their contracts that prevents them from doing stupid shit like this

We need to decide if our football program is closer to an nfl type program or North Dakota high school football

This wrestling decision would suggest we are a lot closer to a high school operation than a program that takes football seriously.

 

[HuskerO]

You SOB!

I coach bowling! Do we order fries and tater tots during practice?!?!

Sure!

But...you know what, you are right.

Goodness. The discipline it took to lose 40 lbs…..

 

[Husker.Wed.]

I hope Polar Bear can perfect the claw hold like this wrestler on the 1960-62 teams. Incidentally, Jim Raschke also played tackle on the football team.

 

[Badger Pete]

Nebraska has a top 15 wrestling program. NU has the Oklahoma 4A Wrestler of the Year on the roster at that weight class, and I suspect Nash is working with him. Hardly a North Dakota HS operation. Frost and company took the kid and made him less athletic. Rhule is trying something different.

Top 15? Let’s go Top 5!

Not likely.
He should AA though, maybe high AA.

Silas at 197, when the point was deducted.

Doubt it, as they add team points at hwt, and no Pinto tonight

 

[baseball31ne]

If Nash does well through the wrestling season and gets back up to 300-310ish for the fall, anyone see the potential for a Sapp type season from him in the fall??

he's from north, his sister was the principle at adams school

Say what? Is that the Baron?

 

[Husker.Wed.]

I thought he was from Germany

Yes....the Clawmaster

I love the fact that a ton of football players were there! That’s the college experience at its best!

No. He's not quick. We saw that going back to his HS film. He relies on strength and size to win matchups, and he's going to be negating a lot of that at a smaller size.

I'm personally shocked. I thought you would have been super positive about this move. You're usually so upbeat.

I'm usually right.

He will maul and have the strength at 310-315 but think the explosiveness that he can have will be able to be used more at that size.
