PSU - Ohio State '26 Match thread

[WV lion]

would love to get to here Byers with the Luke and Blaze bouts as well as Mirosola

Or the Welsh match.

 

[Headlock]

He's as sharp as tack.

Was it because he weighs so much more???

 

[Anon1683312534]

This is a legitimately great Ohio State team. Perhaps the best non-PSU team of the last 15 years. And we’re going to probably beat them by at least 20.

Makes them the sixteenth greatest team in that era the way I see it.

 

[An Old Pair of Asics]

I can now stop feeling bad for him and go back to disliking the way he wrestles.

I don’t know, Arnold entertain during that match, and he had me rooting for him. And good for Gabe, he’s had a rough time in college and that match will be one for him to remember……

….now back to rooting against Iowa

Keuter has the body of Cassar but wrestles like a fatty

 

[RockySmith]

Wow! PSU takes 9 of 10! Night boys. WE ARE!

Who called 9-1?

 

[lionlover]

Hey guys, I'm sitting in Honolulu airport, waiting for my flight to the Big Island. Enough with the B1G Live, let's get to the wrestling (before they call me to board).

I know you'll have a great time. You work real hard making your boards the best in the business; you deserve it!

BTW- Whenever someone asks me, "What should I pack?" I always tell them: "Money."

Like the chapel

**** you!!!!!

Overrated bitches

Hey @Tom McAndrew when you get back from your 42nd honeymoon, would you please check @Lil Nicky Scarfo 's account? I think my mother may have hijacked it.

Thanks.

Thanks.

It’s from years of pent up frustration watching James Franklin’s teams throw up on themselves against the Buckeyes.
Thank God for Cael

Hawaii is expensive. And, my tolerance for spending on events seems to have changed, so the credit cards are getting a workout.

He was ridden for over 3 minutes tonight. He wrestled like he was a 184 filling in at 285 and told "just don't get pinned" and still damn near did.

 

[Nitlion1986]

Matt Campbell is in the house tonight.

Good. He needs to learn the path to OSU stomping

 

[Scu88]

I didnt read this whole thread, and Im sure many have already said it. But I’m just jumping on to say how happy I am for Cole Mirasola!!

 

[PUR158]

Rocco getting my heart rate up. Another clutch win.

Reminds me so much of Max Dean, nails.

 

[Goggles Paisano]

From being called potentially the best pure athlete to ever come out of Iowa to someone who may never play football, and a low AA in wrestling. He is just plain looking like a bust given the hype. I don't think this one is TnT's fault.

 

[JA1339]

If Johnni was smart, he’d use the ‘Someone hacked my account’ excuse

 

[PAgeologist]

Ayala pulls out the W for Iowa with a tech.

 

[Nitlion1986]

anyone get the time of the reversal by chance?

Had to be 15 seconds in. Blaze started with 9 seconds riding time and ended with 9 seconds of riding time

 

[WV lion]

How does Petersen get that takedown call, and PSU guys don't?

Keuter really needed to pick a sport. With so many athletes training year round, the high level 2 sport college athlete has gone away.

He has had several injuries as well, which slowed development.

 

[Nitlion1986]

meanwhile over on HR this gem: Blaze stalling the whole match

There was a time when Iowa wrestlers competed in big-time matches against Penn State. It is good to see Iowa can still use their go to rationalization to explain why their guy scored fewer points than the Penn State guy.

It's hard to disagree, but so many Hawks stagnate or regress.

 

[ElDuce]

 

[El_Jefe]

Kueter is 5-5, 3-4 B10 with Filipovich and Doucet remaining. He'll likely be 6-6, 4-4 heading into the postseason.

 

[Nitlion1986]

OSU wrestlers have been physically stronger in all 3 matches so far.

They deadlift alot

 

[Sir Pin Alot]

I cannot believe Blaze got the reversal there!! What a stud!!

Dude, you have the best avatar/name combination ever, LOL.

 

[Nitlion1986]

Why didn’t Stiles wrestle Van Ness?

Keep him safe

 

[Nitlion1986]

Mendez had twice as many takedowns against Penn State as Iowa had for the entire dual.

Yeah, but Mendez is good.

 

[Nitlion1986]

lol. You ever wrestle up two weight classes against the # 1 guy in the country?

Back in the 1980s 3 time 150 pound champion Nate Carr bumped up to wrestle 3 time 158 pound champ Jim Zelesky. Zelesky majored Nate, just physically dominated Nate.

 

[lionlover]

Mendez is so tough. Everyone is battling for 2nd at 141.

Mendez was rag dolling Davis, like Davis was Hardy; only Mendez didn't gas out!

 

[lionlover]

He’s got every excuse in the book. He is insufferable.

For being a tough accomplished wrestler in his past, he sure has become a whiney B!atch!

 

[Nitlion1986]

This is a legitimately great Ohio State team. Perhaps the best non-PSU team of the last 15 years. And we’re going to probably beat them by at least 20.

Not sure this OSU team beats 2018 OSU.

 

[Nitlion1986]

A great performance by PSU for the first five matches. Unfortunately, it also takes a lot of the excitement out of the second five. This dual isn’t anything like the one in 2018.

It was never going to be.

 

[Nitlion1986]

hmmm. maybe. rocky elam is good though.

Nope. He isn't.

 

[lionlover]

Mendez 2nd most certain Natty winner behind MM in my opinion.

Not so fast. Ladarion Lockett is young, but his elite speed gives him a legitimate chance:

 

[Nitlion1986]

Another stat keeping question I'm sure is dumb: If someone gets the tech AND has riding time LOCKED, is the riding time point added to the final score?

Riding time points are not awarded until the clock expires.

 

[Nitlion1986]

Braeden will be fine once someone tells him beer is not an energy drink.

Since when?

 

[Efejle]

Blaze/Davino is a lot like Dake/Taylor. Usually that's going to lean ever so slightly toward Blaze/Dake ..but it's razor thin and the learning curve here for the first match is for Marcus to be more active in the first 5 minutes to either get that takedown or stay clear of getting dinged, which could have happened there in the first one.

With that said there is no way Byrd deserves the 1 seed in two weeks and the only person who thinks so is our new resident hater Corby, who I am now calling MSU157

 

[lionlover]

Tom Ryan is not happy about something.

Probably the fact that he had to wrestle PSU.
