Wait, Baker Mayfield won Best College Athlete Award at ESPY's?

iowajerms · Jul 21, 2018

Did they overlook Ohio State wrestler Kyle Snyder?

Won his 3rd NCAA Championship (Got 2nd as a freshman, his last 2 matches last month was vs the guy who got 1st over him, Snyder won 10-2 and 9-0)
75-5 career NCAA record
2015 & 2017 World Champion (2018 WCs is in Oct)
2016 Olympic Gold Medal
73-8 in senior level freestyle competition

He is literally the BEST heavyweight wrestler in the entire world over past few years. But Baker won the Heisman and was #1 in the Draft.

I get that football and basketball are the popular sports and all, but Snyder is not only the best at college wrestling, he is winning world competitions. That would be equivalent to Mayfield being as good as Brady and Rodgers.

Didn't the ESPY's become an irrelevant award when they gave an award for elective cosmetic surgery?

You better tell Saban that recruiting wrestlers is not the way to go.

Webb recalls Saban coming to wrestling match

Alabama locker room plays host to team wrestling matches

There’s no doubt that the Alabama football team, with unquestioned leader Nick Saban, carries a certain mental fortitude into every game.

But underlying that business-like exterior is a pastime as old as sport itself — wrestling. Senior defensive lineman Dalvin Tomlinson told the SEC Network in an interview on Monday that the team partakes in frequent wrestling matches in the locker room and that Tomlinson himself is the undisputed leader, having yet to lose a match.

It should come as no surprise that Tomlinson dominates the locker room bouts. He was a state champion wrestler in the 285-pound division at Henry County High School in McDonough, Ga. Tomlinson only wrestles others in his weight class, which still leaves him plenty of competition. Of the guys he’s wrestled, seniors Korren Kirvin and Dakota Ball have given him the biggest challenge.

So, this Kyle Snyder got beat by a guy who has played exactly 1 game of football in 2018, and isn't even in college any more.

Good for Mayfield I guess but I can agree with the OP, Snyder should have won the award.

Camfantasy · Jul 22, 2018

Elite athletes don't wrestle full time. Just fhegs who like to play grab ass in front of a couple dozen other fhegs.

Chewbaccer · Jul 22, 2018

I'd hope any UGA player nominated for an ESPY would no show the event. Nobody watches that shit anymore, and the rating prove it.

Who the fuck is she? ESPN gave the Best College Athlete award to a fucking volleyball player or something? GTFO! Always pushing an agenda.

:tsk:

To be fair, women’s volleyball is better than 90% of what ESPN normally has on.

Speaking of girls, will your freshman transgender QB see any action this year you think? :noidea:

Why people watch ESPN outside actual sporting events I will never understand.

Who hasn’t competed in an athletic competition in nearly 40 years.
