Giving him a match is one thing. Beating him is quite different.I think Glory can give him a match.
How’s that turn out?They should be OK to start engraving Lee’s name on the trophy…
That was the only Iowa loss that I feel bad about… it makes Cael’s undefeated career even more anazing. Lee has been the most dominant wrestler over the last 5 years, but even he lost. Same with Gable Steveson. Heck, even Dan Gable lost.How’s that turn out?
I agree; and you might add "heart' as another criterion that is, while very important, just a little too subjective for me.The thing that has always bothered me with the Hodge is that it tries to be too many things. It's supposed to be an annual award for the best college wrestler with seven criteria. One criteria is 'Past credentials' which tries to make it career achievement award and goes against the very nature of an annual award. Another criteria is 'Sportsmanship/Citizenship' takes the award into humanitarian territory rather than best wrestler.
Parris is a great wrestler...I think he is deserving of the Hodge. He gave Cassioppi an absolute beat down in the semi's.I think Paris deserves it. He was more dominant then anyone else. Wrestled the full season. Beat the #2 guy 3 times and everyone else. Starocci does have better career numbers but that is it. Would love to see Starocci get it, but Paris is more deserving.
