Paul Donahoe interview

Wednesday, September 3, 2008




Ever interested in knowing more about Paul? I found an old interview done in 2006, way before all these dramas on Daily Nebraskan. Apparently Paul loves steak dinner. Comparing his new pictures with his old, I noticed two things: (1) He's getting darker and hotter; (2) Sometimes being too hot may land you in trouble.

Davison, Mich., native Paul Donahoe won his 125-pound weight class at last weekend's Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational. The sophomore is currently ranked 11th by NWCA/USA Today and will face wrestlers from South Dakota State University and Northern Colorado at the NU Coliseum this weekend when the Cornhuskers host their first home dual meets of the year.

What meal will you eat after your last match of the season?

After the last match? Probably a big steak dinner.

Who is better: Dan Gable or Cael Sanderson?

Well, they're both good wrestlers, but Cael would be better. He has won everything, but you have to remember Kyle Smith is up there, too.

What animal does (NU) Coach (Mark) Manning most resemble when he's yelling at the team?

(Laughs) He's kind of like a little koala bear.

What's the last good movie you've seen?

Last good movie I saw was "Rocky IV."

What's your favorite wrestling movie?

I don't have a favorite wrestling movie. I don't really like them.

Do you think Michigan will ever give back the half of the 1997 national championship that they owe Nebraska?

Whoa, uh, I don't know. Too bad they didn't play in a game.

Which is better: the Big 12 Conference or the Big Ten Conference?

Well, the Big 12 produces more All-Americans, so I would say the Big 12.
