► Add to the Discussion Page Previous  1, 2, 3, 4, 5  Next Discussion Topic: Bucks vs. PSU Michael Rodriguez added to this discussion on January 31, 2017 Whether he wins or loses against Penn State, I am on the Pletcher bandwagon...for a freshman, up a weight, he is proving every match that he belongs on a team this good. The Buckeyes will reap the benefits of having him on the squad for years to come. The Martin pick is a lot more shaky though...not because he isn't an amazing wrestler, he just has an opponent who is wrestling lights out and (I would assume) has something to prove in this particular bout. I think Nickal won comfortably.        Discussion Topic: Bucks vs. PSU Mark Niemann added to this discussion on January 31, 2017 21-12        Discussion Topic: Bucks vs. PSU Joe Kinzel added to this discussion on January 31, 2017 20-16 PSU        Discussion Topic: Bucks vs. PSU Brandon Olinger added to this discussion on February 2, 2017 Preview article that Ben Watson and I worked on with the guys at Bloodround Wrestling for anyone who is interested. Ben and I did the write up and Bloodround plays the "voice of reason" to our homerism. As a side note, the 149 and 184 matches were all Ben. He hates Ohio State......

Is it pretty easy to find parking around the Schott? About how much extra time should I give myself to get there by start time?        Discussion Topic: Bucks vs. PSU Brady Hiatt added to this discussion on February 3, 2017 Quote from Mark Cummings's post: "I'm driving from Indy to the dual tonight. Is it pretty easy to find parking around the Schott? About how much extra time should I give myself to get there by start time?" Plenty of parking (even if you have to make a little walk or shuttle) around Schott or by Jesse James Track Complex. min of 30 minutes early if you want to see opening whistle.        Discussion Topic: Bucks vs. PSU Jason L. Jackson added to this discussion on February 3, 2017 Was going to go, but everyone who was going with me has bailed. Not sure I'm up for a 2 hour each way round trip by myself. My thoughts: 125 - Suriano is just as good as Gilman. If the dual starts at 133, I could see Jose holding it to a major. I'm calling tech. 5-0 PSU 133 - NaTo knows how important each point is, and I think he pushes for a tech. 5-5 Tie 141 - I think Pletcher is gaining confidence every match, and I think the huge home crowd buoys him to a win. 8-5 OSU 149 - I think this match depends on how Zain approaches this match. I think Micah can keep from getting turned, but I don't think he gets out. If Zain is content to ride, I think this match ends up 5-0 with about 4 hours of riding time. If Zain kicks and takes down, unless Micah gets his offense going, I could see him wilting by the third and a major is in play. I think Zain stays safe. 8-8 Tie 157 - Would have been a tech or a pin over Ryan, same with DeCarlo. I think 6. 14-8 PSU 165 - I think Burcher suffered from a combination of things against Iowa, bigger, stronger opponent, huge road crowd, using a lot of effort to keep from being pushed out of bounds, adrenaline dump, etc. I think he controls it better at home. 8-2. 17-8 PSU 174 - I think Hall gets to the legs, Bo hips him down and gets a statemate or gets his own takedown. Eventually, Hall gets frustrated and either goes upper body or gives up. BoJo by decision. 17-11 PSU 184 - Nickal is on fire, and he's out for revenge and going to try and make Martin look bad. I think Nickal makes at least one mistake which Martin capitalizes on, but it won't be enough and Nickal wins by 3-4. 20-11 PSU So, at this point, there is a chance for a win or a tie. Slim, but a chance. 197 - I think Moore dominates McCutcheon and puts up a major. If OSU needs a pin, he goes for it, but I think he gets 4. 20-15 PSU 285 - Lots of talk about how Nevills can compete and make this a match. Hah. If the match is wrapped up, Snyder by major. If OSU NEEDS it, I think he can push for the tech and the tie. 20-20 I think PSU would win based on the Nolf pin. Obviously lots of things could change here. 141, 174 and 184 are toss ups, and bonus is pretty much on the table for every non-toss up match. Should be fun!        Discussion Topic: Bucks vs. PSU Bruce Andrews added to this discussion on February 3, 2017 Pletcher is certainly capable of defeating Gulibon but it appears that Gulibon has started to emerge from the doldrums he was in and has wrestled well his last few matches. Gulibon will be one of the few wrestlers that Pletcher has wrestled that isn't significantly taller than him, so it is an interesting matchup in that regard.        Discussion Topic: Bucks vs. PSU Freddy Carr added to this discussion on February 3, 2017 Not a fan of the Schott or a 6PM Friday start. Tough for those traveling. My youth program from Cincy bought 100 tickets but most are stuck in traffic here at the start.        Discussion Topic: Bucks vs. PSU Britt Malinsky added to this discussion on February 3, 2017 No Bo tonight. Instead, Mark Hall will wrestle a 166.8-pound Justin Kresevic.        Discussion Topic: Bucks vs. PSU Ryan Mitchell added to this discussion on February 3, 2017 Too bad. No Bo, no real path to a dual victory. I thought Rodriguez might have kept it to a major there. Health has to come first, but this was a whole lot of build up and promotion for what might turn out to be an ugly team result.        Discussion Topic: Bucks vs. PSU Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on February 3, 2017 I'm much happier with Micah Jordan tonight than I was with his effort against Sorenson. He competed. Forget the final score. You can't win if you don't try and tonight he battled.        Discussion Topic: Bucks vs. PSU Joe Kinzel added to this discussion on February 3, 2017 Disappointing        Discussion Topic: Bucks vs. PSU Jamie Teel added to this discussion on February 3, 2017 Consistently disappointing die hard fans who make the 3 hour track can't help in building the sport. This is WAY to common.        Discussion Topic: Bucks vs. PSU Freddy Carr added to this discussion on February 3, 2017 Yeah the kids we brought...not impressed haha. Butt kicking.        ► Add to the Discussion Page Previous  1, 2, 3, 4, 5  Next
