As an Ohio State fan and Columbus resident, I would love to have it here. However, the crowd was absolutely awesome at PSU and I loved it even if I don't love Penn State. The same crowd at Iowa and Tulsa (Okie State) when the arena comes to life is awesome. So it should be somewhere close to...
Why in the world would Mendez play it tight? He has been on record of pushing himself to be in the Hodge contention with MM - you think he is going to try to win 5-2?
Can Davis wrestle unattached at the upcoming opens and preserve his shirt? I would think so? Give him a couple of weeks to get on weight and wrestle and see how he looks. Could be a little rusty and should see where he is at before pulling his shirt.
I think a worst case looks something like below. Would be very entertaining and Bouzakis does have a pinner’s chance against LL.
Bouzakis dec Lilledahl 3-0
Blaze dec Davino 3 - 3
Mendez mdec Nagao 7-4
SVN dec Stiles 7-7
Cannon dec Duke 10-7
Mitch mdec Paddy 10-11
Levi dec karchla 10-14...
Kind of surprised by some of these comments. Bo was ready to commit to PSU the day before Bob loaded up the brinks truck. Then about a month ago, Bo was ready to commit again to PSU and things blew up. Cael made a very hard press 2 times.
Jax is not being a kid! He is wrestling full-time and going to high school, traveling back and forth to train. He is amazing, but no way would he be a lock at NCAAs.
