That, my friend is why there are weight classes. Overall it's somewhat good to roll with him because it could potentially simulate a real-life encounter where someone might be much bigger than you. It's never a bad thing learning how to roll with everyone and their different shapes and sizes. Last huge wrestler I rolled with we started from standing, I took him down and ended up hurting his knee somehow. If you put them on their back and make them panic and use strictly strength and no technique, you will wear them down and get them in bad spots. My gym has tons of big guys, all of varying size....I usually stray away but occassionally I'll roll with one just so I get a feel for their tremedous size/weight advantage.

On a side note,
Hail to the victors valiant
Hail to the conquering heroes
Hail, Hail to Michigan
The Champions of the west.
You don't take the invite back do ya? lol. I've got all sorts of OSU buddies, so we have a good time giving each other shit. I've been gettin a lot more shit these last few years than i'm used to, but hopefully that all changes tomorrow.

I don't mind rolling with bigger guys (the wrestler I was rolling w/ was 270 but not near as skilled as you guys), but when they have more experience on me that makes it shitty lol. I'm likin my boys' chances tomorrow, but i'm definitely not going to go up to OSU's wrestling team and start talking shit lol. I'm actually going to open up my own gym down here by Cincinnati within the next year and a half, and somebody with as much wrestling experience as you would be a great addition.

I'll definitely let you know when I open up.

It's the only way I can controll them when I'm rolling nogi.
