Doesn't matter. I'm an equal opportunity pearl clutcher.
tOSU dual of the century - deja vu
- Thread starter Goggles Paisano
- Start date
I’m an old man who yells at all clouds - Cirrus, Cumulonimbus, Cumulus, etc. They all deserve a talking to
Lots of people will be yelling at clouds in Columbus..
How did Braeden win last year at 133 ?
Even broke the cradle.
Mendez is pretty much untouchable, but Michigan is weak at 125 & 133. I’m not surprised or worried about those results.
Blaze vs Davino is the one match I’m looking most forward to in the whole dual schedule. In fact, the prospect of four years of Blaze, Davino, Jax, and Larkin battling each other is something I really can’t wait to see.
PSU is going to torch Ohio St 149-197, so there’s no issue with the dual outcome.
Agree. Luke will crushed him on his feet. Luke is the Best. Bouzakis will try to slow Luke down.
I'd rather have angel Rivera refereeing vs O$U than that spineless dolt Blows we had vs Nebraska. When O$U is stalling their arses off 149 through 197, call it!

Is it a crazy notion that Coach Cael might sit Davis in this one for the team point loss and plug in Tyler K. It would not mess up his redshirt if I am counting right, Davis would get penalized for his actions and we might have a lot less chance of getting bonused at that weight. Just a random thought since the snow is too deep to go anywhere
Tyler K???
Yes, that is crazy talk.
Tyler Kasak? @141?
Maybe Desmond?
The chances he public embarrasses Davis for a momentary judgment lapse is nearly zero.
They probably already had a short, pointed one way conversation though.
1. Kasak wrestled at 157 last season.
2. His current weight is about 170.
3. Wrestling any attached date forfeits Kasak’s redshirt.
4. Dropping this much would be a violation of the NCAA weight descent rules, and Kasak hasn’t seen 141 in several years.
5. The coaches aren’t benching Davis to teach him a lesson.
Oh Crap, I meant Desmond! I am another old boomer (75) who has "senior moments" every now and then. PS I am in WV too.
Kasak is scheduled to wrestle at the Zagreb Open on Wednesday in the 70 kg wt class. Interestingly Caleb Henson (Virginia Tech) will also be in that wt class. https://uww.org/event/zagreb-open-4/athletes
Looking at that video of Ohio State, that arena looks a lot smaller than Bryce Jordan.
Also looking at the crowd Friday, Bryce will sell out for Ohio State (weather permitting).
Been to the Co
Close to the action from about anywhere in the building. Of course, Ticketmaster had me sitting next to the team one year and 2 rows behind the other.
BJC will be crazy and sold out. Not sure I can pull the trigger on $300 tickets plus a 5-hour drive to the Valley. But a chance to watch the Ohowihate suckeyes from columbASS ohiya get thumped….
I’ve been to the Covelli Center the last two Penn State visits. It is not large at all. Google says it holds 3,700.Looking at that video of Ohio State, that arena looks a lot smaller than Bryce Jordan.

Darn tootin. We would have to resuscitate Tyler every week.
Luke/Bouzakis= Coin Flip or close
Blaze/Davino= Coin Flip or close
Mendez/Braeden= Not so close.
I think Kasak already beat him at an early freestyle tournament.
Bill Farrell in November
That match was actually a ten team point swing… like a FG blocked and returned for a touchdown!
He was nearing a decision(3), got pinned (6), and dropped another point on the post whistle exchange
Perhaps. But, unlike BGJ, TNT have won multiple national championships..
Yet, the TNT won a national championship five years ago. That tends to work against changing their style.
Blaze vs Davino is not a coin flip, and unless Bouzakis catches Luke, that's also not a coin flip.
no doubt Davis is very good but he always has one bad move that costs him a win!
I so want the O$U fan boys feeling very very confident. Going to enjoy it soo much more that way when we are ahead 7-5 after three matches and they already know they are cooked!!
Guess it’s how you want to do the math.
I give Luke a slight edge at 125.
Blaze slight edge at 133.
Mendez a huge favorite at 141.
At the Covelli in columbASS in ‘23 with a buddy and it was close after 4 matches. Thinking maybe 4-5 points.
I said this is making me a bit nervous. He chuckles and says - it over. Penn State will run away with this. And, they did.
It would be a win if Mendez doesn't get 6.
I meant in my original post if kasak was actually still down at 141 not the 170 pounder he is today
I would be shocked if Luke doesn't win, and nearly so if Blaze doesn't win. I do admit 2 weeks out I am anxiously awaiting for that specific match though.
