HA HA HA!!!!!!! Niemann calls the bitter one on his #KissOfDeath. Classic.
I know this - each match (sans 133) - will be highly contested and GREAT for us fans..."

Ok, first off Pat, I take no responsibility for anything that might go wrong due to me picking the Buckeyes to dominate. Secondly, I think the hesitation of some Buckeye fans is telling about the culture of college wrestling (everywhere but Iowa and Penn State). This isn’t 1995, Ohio State is better than Iowa. They’re a better dual meet team, they’re a better tourney team. They have better athletes and better technique. The dream of Ohio State wrestling fulfilling its potential has been realized. AA contenders at every weight class...legit title contenders at half the weight classes.
I do slightly disagree with Mark on all the bouts be being super competitive. I think five (or six or even all seven) of tOSU’s wins will be fairly dominant.

Regarding the Spencer Lee gassing synopsis that I see a lot of people posting about. I think most would agree that Lee wrestles at a pretty intense pace, but he does have a track record of running out of juice late in matches. The Picconinni match only mirrored that of what we saw against Bresser, and even against Desanto in his final high school bout. I think Lee can score on anyone, but this is NATO. Tight early, maybe Spencer even takes a lead, but Nate beats him up in the third. Major by NATO.

Anyone see the Tom Brands interview after Okie State? Basically, he says they are trying to get to the place where Ohio State and Penn State are. That's overt, not tacit. Equates to we are very good but not that good. I do think the Buckeyes will perform like MRod is onto. Best Buckeye team ever. Not just that but this is one of those all time NCAA lineups.

Feeling each other out with some ties, Nate in on a single, but Spencer works himself free. No fear from the freshman, going after the two on ones.

Spencer differs, Nate chooses down. Spencer almost sucks Nate in for back points early and ouut of bounds after Nate gets back to his feet. Restart, Nate up again and a hard mat return. Spencer riding hard and keeping Nate neutralized and he rides Nate out.
