Match Thread Black Knight Invitational - Sun, Nov 24

I initially wondered why we wrestle in this invitational (except our frosh and backups). Seems like a really light field of competition. But after reading the strategy put forth by the coaches and various wrestling pundits it makes total sense. Cael does know best! :)
As far as I'm concerned this is th3 wrestle off we all beg for every year before the season starts.... I think it's awesome and hope they do it every year!

I’m also curious about this take. You’ve been adamant we’re in this year with 2 losses (only one would be a “good” loss) and no real quality win unless you’re now arguing Illinois is quality.

How is that any better than being 10-2 next year with the loses being osu/oregon?
I'm confused--we're in with 2 losses but Illinois winning out helps our ranking as it would give us a quality win
Because next year the narrative continues to build that Franklin can't win a big game so unless you have us beating an SEC team this year that would be held against us more next year with a weak schedule and us losing again to anyone that's a playoff team

Looking at the entries for the Black Knight Invitation, it looks very likely that Penn State could have at least 10 guys in the finals! We're contributing here by giving the other participants a chance to go against top level competition. Anyone with a really competitive attitude would jump on that opportunity.
I'm setting the over/under at 12.

tOSU's center being out may have an impact on tOSU's ability to run the ball and pass protect. I still expect tOSU to win comfortably against IU, but it could cause tOSU real problems in the playoffs.

Especially with non-b2g Officiating in Playoffs. b2g Officiating called 2 penalties on duhO$U in Penn State game - anybody who watched that game knows how absurd that is. I don't see the Indiana game being Officiated any differently so it really won't much matter who the starting C is if they're allowed to latch onto their assignment and bronco-ride.

No way… too expensive. BJC ain’t paying. Maybe Bo will pay half at least!
I don't know how this all works, but what do you mean "BJC" ain't paying"? If they sell out the place, and I would assume they get some % of whatever streaming platform carries the event.......seems like they could make it work. Although I don't know who sets up this event (stage, cage, lighting, etc.). I'm not a UCF fan per se, but would probably support this event if Bo is involved (that is watching it on a streaming service).
