ONO

[PSUPetch]

Everyone rightfully remembers the Nevills match to give Penn State the win, but Penn State loses that dual if Bo doesn't get that last second turn against Martin to get the major decision. If Bo had only won by decision, then Snyder would have only needed a win by decision to win the dual since Ohio State held criteria if the dual had ended in a tie. That was so clutch by Bo. He used the bow and arrow on Martin and got the second near fall swipe with less than a second to go in the match. But, had Martin wrestled hard through the end of the match, Bo most likely doesn't get that turn.

I thought that the commentators were wrong and that PSU actually held the criteria. Does anyone actually know? Thanks

We were ahead 19-15 before Heavy. Snyder had to get a major with at least a 13 point win (so close to a tech) to get criteria and win if it was 19-19.

Without Bo’s extra point, it would have been 18-15 going into heavy and a simple major by Snyder would have gotten them the win.

If Snyder only needs a major, I think we were cooked. Snyder knew he had to go nuts to try and get a tech or near tech and, hence, got burned a time or 2 getting desperate.

Kuhn disrobing NaTo and throwing him through the Blaise Alexander sign should have been worth a bonus point!

honestly, i don't have any problem saying that as of today, Forrest would be the favorite in a folkstyle match. the degree to which he'd be the favorite can definitely be argued

I remember Morgan McIntosh hitting Sammy Brooks with a NASTY arm spin one time. Brooks was wrestling up and paid for it.

I’d love to see Ono hit someone with that.

My favorite Morgan arm spin was all the way back at the 2011 USAW Junior Freestyle Nationals. Morgan jumped up to the 215 class (!) and hit a beautiful arm spin against a towering Adam Coon. Check it out along with the 2011 FloNationals final where Morgan took down Gabe Dean five times and was in on his legs another six times! Morgan was a beast in HS. It is really a shame that Penn State had 184 covered during Morgan's career. If he had been able to wrestle at 184, I think his NCAA career would have been even better than it was.

yes I said that,he wrestled up for the team at 84 he could haave won several titles!!

 

[tullfan68]

yea his arm spin was the best you don't see many use it!

 

[nerfstate]

Chance has a good one. Did he score in Carter with it?

 

[PSUPetch]

Now we know he can throw Cody after he wins 133.

I’d rather he seek out Terry in the stands and throw him.

Oh yeah - that how I did it too in regard to classes. I used to go to class if I felt like it and not if I didn’t feel like it.

Nobody tell HR about "she":

---Your opponent, Spencer Lee, had just won a silver medal in the 57kg class at the Paris Olympics. How did you feel when the match was decided?

To be honest, I thought she was a much higher-ranked opponent. However, since she was the same person that Rei Higuchi had beaten in the Olympic final, I felt that I couldn't afford to lose either.

 

[El_Jefe]

But seriously, that's a great interview with Ono. Insightful toward both the Japanese mentality and the PSU mentality. Well worth everyone's time to read.

Plus there are some real gems in that translation! It's the first time I don't mind reading "player" when "wrestler" is intended.

And thinking of Lorenzo as "the dojo" sparks great joy!

"On days when there is morning practice, only those who want to participate gather at the dojo. The coach is at the dojo, so you can find a partner to practice with and ask questions on the spot if you don't understand something."

I was thinking that Ono might be able to hook the Mirasola's up with a good Chanko Nabe recipe.

I can't wait for the first match that Ono gets to the second period and chooses top and proceeds to turn his opponent three or four times

Yoshida from Japan is quite an athlete.

Is there any chance that Ono helps recruit him to Penn State. He’d be some workout partner for James and many of the other Penn State guys.

Not even remotely likely.

They go to different universities. And the Japanese take that seriously. Rivals are rivals and they don't train together.

Of course they go to different universities. Ono goes to Penn State

Coulda said the same about Ono and Blaze before Ono came over. #inconceivable

Interestingly - Yoshida and his older brother Arash are half Iranian.

I was @ RAF in Cleveland and watched the Davino / Ono match. IDK how you score on ONO. he made defending Davino look like childs play and Davino is legit. That was impressive

Sadly, another gap will close - Ono is doomed per this Ahia State poster:

Ono wins 4-0 on 3 step outs and an action call against Davino.

For the world class superstar people claim Ono is on his feet, that’s not much of a gap for Davino to close in Folkstyle…

I like it”

Same with Gharehdaghi. His father is Iranian and mother Japanese

Maybe I'm missing something but consensus after that match among non-PSU fans is Ono won't translate to folk because he's a pushout merchant and he must suck on bottom.

I'm sure goalposts will move later if Ono is very successful

"No duh, he was a senior world champ"

Given the comments from the room, I’m thinking Ono is trolling these opponents. Seems like he’s collecting easy money.

Yeah, if we see the human wrecking ball he was against Vito, we’ll get a lot of speed of light backtracking like your last bit in quotes.

Imagine the glee for us if he goes out and puts a good opponent in a bow and arrow.

Maybe I saw Ono’s match different than most but I thought he wrestled a pretty strategic match. He took what Davino offered and didn’t place himself in a position where Davino could come even close to getting to his legs. RAF matches are individuals matches, not team events. No need to run up the score or take unnecessary chances when the goal is simply to win and avoid injury.
