You do remember Spencer Lee and how that turned out. No one here on. Tho message board thought he would lose like he did
Never say never, but that was a one on a million result. I'm not holding my breath.
Dang, Sunshine. Talk about deja vu all over again.
I am a very trusting person. I trust your “one in a million” number. That’s why I believe that since Spencer lost six times in college he must have won about six million times in college.
I think “6,000,000 - 6” is even more impressive than “159 - 0”! Sit down Cael; Spencer is the GOAT.
Actually, it was a 6 in 103 result for Mr. LLLLLLee.
Spencer slipped and hit his back on the mat.
Oh man. You know those HR goofs are going to run with that.I am a very trusting person. I trust your “one in a million” number. That’s why I believe that since Spencer lost six times in college he must have won about six million times in college.

Yeah but Spencer did get pinned previously and had been put on his back twice already that season. Our backup 'almost' got him in a cradle. Despite the forever accolades on HR, there were some cracks in his armor.
Mendez is elite and, and will probably be right there in the top 5 for the Hodge at season's end. I believe Jesse was the one kid Cael was most upset about losing. At the time we were not yet aligned on NIL and were at a disadvantage to tOSU and other programs. Cael intimated we lost some kids to/because of NIL. No names were ever mentioned, but I think Jesse was the main one. He looks better than ever this year which is pretty damned impressive.
PS - Go Braeden! He is just now coming into form from the long layoff, we definitely have not seen his best yet. I may be in the minority, but just after singing Jesse's praises, I think Braeden might keep it to a decision.

Yea, I was thinking about that prior to you posting it, i.e., which early result will seal the deal for the O$U fanboys to realize it aint happening ...
I thought maybe it takes until 149 for it all to settle in for them ... as they realize the run of losses is just starting ... 157, 165, 174, 184, 197 ..
I kind of get some shades of the 2019 dual.
Don't forget going in, we were underdogs at 5 weights
125 - During our 125 woes, Heinselman was a clear favorite over Schnupp
133 - Pletcher was definitely a favorite over RBY (especially since RBY was injured a bit also)
141 - McKenna was a favorite over younger Nick Lee for sure. Ironically the dual was the only time Nick beat him.
149 - Micah Jordan was a huge favorite over whoever we went (between Berge or Verkleeren) Many predicted bonus here.
184 - Myles Martin was a huge favorite and we didn't have Shakur available then (we were sending Mason Manville up)
At the time, many were talking about Moore potentially being a bad matchup for Bo since he's a positionally sound wrestler who gave J'Den Cox a good match before and Bo was a smaller 197.
Then we came out, took 133/141, Verkleeren gave Micah all he wanted and of course Bo pinned Moore in 90 seconds lol
Hope for a similar result here.

I think if he hits the weights hard, practices with Zain everyday, and learns to create angles on his shots he will be ok. If he can’t make those adjustments he’s in big trouble
I remember Cael talking at a press conference a good while ago about Mitchell and I'm paraphrasing- Had we known Mitchell would have been this good we would have camped out on his front porch!
Mitchell hasn't jumped levels, he rockets them.
Shayne has always had a tendency to occasionally put himself in bad positions, and is usually good enough to get out of it. Even as far back as our youth league in Jersey, Shayne was winning a match against Soldano (yes, they were at the same weight). Soldano caught him out of position and pinned him. Best part was Shayne's dad Rodney, a well respected coach, was almost laughing as it was happening, basically saying his boy made a mistake and needs to learn from it.
SVN reminds me of a great old car that had a choke to start that engine.
It runs rough as hell at first but when that fuel and air are at the right mix, he is on and the opponent is left behind. (Or on his back)

People who believed in themselves and tried to wrestle Bo were fun.
I am totally expecting PSU to dominate OSU but to be fair to OSU, they were down a few starters vs Nebraska or it would not have been so close..
Having Cannon at 157 and Gallagher at 165 does not necessarily change anything other than Taylor doesn't get a major.
Would it, though? Would Cannon beat Taylor? Paddy beat Araujo? Paddy might have lost even worse. He’s not injured. They announced before the weekend that Birden would go against Nebraska and that it’s still a competition to start at 165. Cannon is an unimpressive #1, and Taylor is the defending champ. Taylor wouldn’t have majored him, though, so they would have saved one point.
He might have. November results are pretty meaningless at this point, though. That’s when tOSU was peaking.
Actually 16-4 decision for cannon. So cannon would have been favored in the rematch.
I’d take this years Cannon (assuming he’s healthy) over this years Taylor every time out. As for the Paddy instead of Birden difference, the only thing I’d think that could’ve made a difference is style or experience giving OSU a better chance in that one, but then again, maybe not?
Agree Gallagher would not likely beat Aroujo but Cannon already beat Taylor 16-4 at the Collegiate Duals earlier this year…
You had me until the last sentence.
