With everything closing, and wrestling essentially done for the year. I’ll start a new thread. What is your favorite tOSU match you ever saw?

Just to add something. Everyone be safe, take proper precautions, and help your fellow man when needed. Disgusts me to see people fighting old ladies for toilet paper.

Good topic. I am going to go my all time favorite Buckeye matches that weren't at the national tournament:
-Freshman Tommy pinning Leonce Crump from Oklahoma to to win the dual for the Buckeyes. Had he not pinned him Bucks lose the dual.
-T.J. Enright beating number 1 ranked Nick Simmons in overtime in the Michigan State dual. The loudest I ever heard St. Johns.
-Jaggers pins the Penn St. kid (Strayer?)to win the dual for the Bucks.
-Freshman Hunter upsets returning NCAA champ Kellen Russell at Vegas. The fact that Russell was a Wolverine made it sweeter.
-Palmer over Metcalf at Big 10's. Metcalf smashed everyone that year but Palmer. Lance road him hard and put him on his back.
-Stieber beating Ramos in the dual at St. Johns. Logan tilted him for some backs and handled him. Ramos was jawing at him after the match and preceded to do wind sprints up an incline for the remainder of the dual.

These and all the other posts are great ones. I was fortunate enough to have matside seats for the 2016 finals when Myles beat Bo and Kyle beat Gwiz. The reactions by the PSU fans that were matside during Myles' match was priceless. I made sure to scream loudly.
In addition to Tomasello's semis win his freshman year, I'll add Kyle's win over J'Den in the semis of that same year. That ankle pick won the match. Both of those semis were HUGE for the team race, as Mizzou was close at that point and both of those matches were technically upsets per seeding.

Keaton Anderson beating defending NC Luke Becker in St. John’s was a treat. Colt Sponseller winning the dual against Wisconsin his freshman year for the Buckeyes was also a good one.

Myles over Bo, there was something very special about that performance just not a fan of Bo at PSU, he is a great talent but his edge is more down to earth as he jumps to the senior level
Mitch Clark very dominant NCAA finals performance,
Jaggers is a gamer, but not my favorite buckeye either in the room or out, I personally know who assisted him during that final run, and he said nothing but bad stuff about a good person, not a class move.
Stieber, a favorite of mine to watch, but his skill technique is hard to translate to other wrestlers, he just does things very different from a neutral position, on top, an absolute beast, but he has a gorilla grip, on the bottom, yikes but has the heart and attitude of a lion.
We lost a lot when Lou left, say what you want about the assistants now but that guy is an excellent technician and leader, guys improved under him. I have seen, camps by jaggers, Snyder, tervel, Stieber, and Lou, and there is no comparison to any of them related to Lou, he is akin to Jim Humphrey in skill and motivation.

Two of my favorites were Mitch Clark v Jones NCAA Finals '98 and Anderson over Becker. You just don't see a first period tech in NCAA finals, and he did it in Cleveland on top of it. Like the announcer said, Vertus Jones went to school at W.V. AND Cleveland State at center mat that night. I loved Keaton's win because Becker had thrashed a OSU kid the year before at Big Tens, just roughed him up good. Then Keaton gave him some of his own medicine when he gets in on a beautiful high crotch, lifts Becker into the air and comes down real hard with his mat return to the roar of the OSU crowd!! What goes around comes around.

One of my favorite Bucks matches was watching Logan eke out the win over Jordan Oliver. He wrestled such an excellent match until the end. And then, well, he won.

For what it's worth, I was watching Logan's Dapper Dan win over Mitchell Port as HS seniors, and Logan took him down a few times, turned him a few times, had a big lead with about 30 seconds. left, and Port gets a single that Logan fought off for about 20 seconds, but finally gives it up. I thought back to their NCAA finals where Logan had a big lead but the match ended with an ankle pick and short ride by Port. Just thought it was funny that he ended his last college match like he ended his last HS match, against the same guy and in a similar kind of match.
