If Bo would have remained undefeated, then maybe it would have made sense to finish with 184. At this point, I'm not sure whether any of the other potential match ups would have as much drama as Dean vs Bo. What are your thoughts?
Any word on what weight class they will start with at NCAA finals?
- Thread starter Ranger Dan
- Start date
I doubt the decision is made until after the semis Friday night when the matchups are known.
After the B10 upset, I would be surprised if they did anything other than traditional order this year. That way they would end the evening with the 2 most marketable athletes, the Olympic bronze medalist and the Olympic gold medalist.
Last year, the most compelling match was 285 (and it was a great match) I don't think any of the potential finals are head and shoulders above the rest in terms of intrigue, so they may just go normal order.
I'm a homer... the most compelling were the one's with PSU in them. Snyder's was the most interesting of the others...

I agree with you....but for some reason ESPN catered to the interest those few non PSU fans out there. Strange.
Undefeated will not matter. The watching world wants to see Dean vs. Nickal . If there is a chance this is the finals match...this will be last.
Probably depends on the team race. If Penn State has run away and hidden, like I expect them to, who knows? If it's a close race between Penn State and Oklahoma State, probably expect it to end at 149 (if it's Collica/Retherford). If it's a close race between Penn State and Ohio State, probably expect them to end where both have a run of finalists to end things (probably 184), as I don't see any likely head-to-head finals matchups. If it's a three-way race, I just about give up...
There is ZERO chance I will have the volume at an audible level on the television feed if that happens.
I'm purely speculating but I'm gonna go ahead and guess you won't be wearing a kid dynamite tee...
I'll go to the off the mat coverage with Lee Kemp and Gable and the rest of them. Can't get the delay correct to go to Ironhead, or else I'd go to that.
