Yeah, it's way better to roll around with a sweaty dude in front of 30 parents than play in packed gyms with all the hot chicks watching. Tough decision.
Not one wrestler would have made that choice of they were capable of playing basketball. The band members might have gotten more pussy than the wrestling team. This wasn't Iowa.
Last point, Boxing >>>>>>>>>> wrestling.
Now, can we get back to talking Bartlet instead of pretending wrestling isn't gross?
The reason most kids don't wrestle.......it is a fucking brutal sport that requires more dedication and competitiveness than any other sport. There is a ton of crossover between wrestling and football. Bartlett grew up in a state that likely values wrestling as much or more than basketball, much more Iowa than typical west coast. FWIW, I played basketball in HS.
I'm guessing Bartlett has had an abundance of pussy choices over the past few years. Much more than glory days posters on this board.
Second to last point, Boxing is FS. MMA, though, is compelling.
Finally, this a thread about football. Any poster using the word "gross" is......telling.
To the part in bold, I doubt it. He lives in Wyoming.
There is crossover between wrestling and football, but there is also a ton of (and probably more) crossover with football and basketball or football and track. Do you think Petersen isn't intrigued by Trey Adams throwing down alley oop dunks? I bet there are more players in the NFL that played basketball than wrestle.
I'm not trying to get your singlets in a bunch, but the best athletes do not typically wrestle. Bartlett is the only player from this recruiting class that we have heard wrestles.
MMA sucks. I tried to get into it for a few years. Boxing is skill and watching punches get thrown is more entertaining than watching guys roll around and try to lock in submissions. And yes, wrestling is "gross." If it was so great, people would give a shit about it. Fake wrestling has probably 20 X's the amount of fans as Olympic Wrestling.
I rest my case.
