My brother ran into Coon a little while ago. He said their interaction was short but that he was a really nice guy, laughed when he told him to “beat Snyder’s f***ing ass”, and that he was on a mission.

Always challenging to hit that sweet spot between optimism and realism. Love your thought process here tho.
As someone else noted, Snyder was really pushed by White (#9) in this last match. Hopefully that's a good omen.
I’d be shocked if McKenna loses.
The other two sure.
I’m a little worried about Bo. AbounAder probably feels he got robbed in the dual.
Never said it was close to being over. My post was in response to someone saying we were almost done because OSU max points was 50 more than PSU before the end the session 3
I know nothing about Heino, so I checked wrestlestat and they have Nevills winning by major in a head to head, though they've never wrestled each other previously.
Really? Is Meredith the kid from Wyoming? If so, he is a badass! Seen him wrestle a few times and he looks really good...
I didn't read your post. Merely giving credit where credit is due.Good Lord, don't encourage the guy, who BTW misinterpreted my post. But no matter.
you'd be shocked if McKenna loses to Meredith? Interesting .... have to disagree there. He may win, but id have him as the underdog
McKenna has looked very good, but he's also had a favorable draw. Meredith is the first guy he's faced who might actually have the chops to beat him. But it will be tough, McKenna is damn hard to score on.
Agree about Nickal; would have preferred him to face Renda rather than Abounader.
You quoted Howie's post, which quoted mine. So my post was right there in front of you.
But no matter.
yep-not a good tournament. but, it can get a little better for us tonight.
Then you obviously need to communicate more clearly.Good Lord, don't encourage the guy, who BTW misinterpreted my post. But no matter.
My eye was drawn to Howie's academic accomplishments. That was the only matter that mattered to me.You quoted Howie's post, which quoted mine. So my post was right there in front of you.
Question, if DeSanto had injured Micic with that illegal hold and Micic couldn't finish, who would have advanced? Doesn't seem right for DeSanto to advance, but Micic would have already injury defaulted to the consis.
I think McKenna will lose by the largest margin of any of their semifinalists. Ohio State could lose 3-4 semi-finals tonight, but we'll see. But if they do lose that many I really like our chances.
As an OSU fan, I don't like our chances, especially after Moore went down. Rasheed and Nevils going down gives us a chance, but I would put money on PSU if I were a betting man. Here are my thoughts on the OSU Semis:
NATO vs. Lee - Push - I could see either wrestler winning this one. Both have been dominate (Lee a shade more), but NATO has the experience edge.
Pletcher vs. Micic - Micic - Don't see how Luke pulls this one out. He has lost his last two here and hasn't been dominating to this point.
Meredith vs. McKenna - Push - McKenna has been dominating since the Big Ten's and has a lot of momentum on his side, but Meredith is #1 for a reason.
Micah vs. Nolf - Nolf - Micah has been a pleasant surprise in the postseason this year and Nolf probably isn't 100%, but Nolf doesn't need to be to win.
Martin vs. Zavatsky - Martin - Myles has looked strong so far and mostly dominates everyone not named Nickal.
Snyder vs. Kasper - Snyder - Kasper is the guy who talked smack to Kyle before they met last year. I think Snyder takes care of business again.
No way we go 6-0, 5-1 is a slim possibility if all the breaks fall our way. 4-2 is possible though I predict we go 3-3. If that happens, then PSU probably wins.

Wow, a breath of fresh air, from an OSU fan, while PSU fans are all doom and gloom. Thanks for the honest appraisal.
what is it that requires negative, personal reactions. and yes, i do not get the humor.
everybody on the internet should have to post a bond and loss money if the bond assurer finds a violation of the policy.
Was that why that decision was made, or was it more a "We dont' wanna pick bottom against Rasheed" decision?
Aerospace engineering major (I believe); to be that skilled at both sides sure puts me to shame.
First three weight classes will set the tone. Should be some really great wrestling.
And Willie called it for osu. Nothing more to see here, fellas. See ya all again on signing day...
Couldn’t agree more. Shak wins that match, I think he could have won the whole thing. Now I think he’s looking at 7th or 8th at best because of who’s in his path to 3rd.
McKenna has looked great, no question. But have you watched Meredith at all? I think that match is gonna be a barnburner.
Mckenna does look real tough right now. He was a great high school wrestle and although very good at Stanford, couldn’t get to the next level. After a slow start at OSU, I’d say he’s found himself. Wrestling in the OSU room compared to Stanford has to make you better as well as competing in the Big Ten vs Pac
How can he not ask him what the deal is with putting his headgear on sideways after the match?
Meredith has been in the hunt for years, but McKenna has an advantage in terms of wrestling better competition week in and week out (let alone the wrestling room). Will be another great match.
Macchiovello didn't even look at his coaches that I saw. I think that he just did the "cool" thing. Let's wrestle .
