It could be that he has checked out and is just going thru the motions. For some guys they have been wrestling for 10+ years and at this point and it wears on you. It's probably like taking out the trash for him. JMO of course. I'm sure his team mates understand. I hope wish him luck at Nats and then after when it really matters.
Think the opponent had a little to do with his "uninspiring performance "
Not quite. Iowa is at 99.5 points and Nebraska has a max potential of 120.5 and MN has 116. Illinois still has 99.5 max potential as well (they win all in pins and Iowa loses all).
Theoretically, PSU could finish 4th
This isn't all perfect, as there are common battles between PSU/Iowa/OSU as well that automatically lower the max.
I need Selma Hayek to give me a call too.
Graduate of stall camp, LOL. But the element of truth is what makes it funny.
Yeah, like you, I can see OSU winning 3 of their 6 without too much imagination. Maybe 4
I think the ending is going to be very similar to the ending of this tournament.
Cutch has been less than stellar using up his cautions this year. Plus, he's had a gross lack of blood time. Very un-stall camp of him.
Danishek is currently my favorite wrestler of all time.
Real strong possibility. He's 16-16. Best wins Sebastian and Gunther, both also beat him.
Gotta think there are 4 more deserving candidates out there. For starters, there's a much better case for Gunther.
Jr had nothing left in that last exchange. Doubt he qualifies so there's a few points they won't have at nationals.
More justice. The subterfuge failed!
My heart breaks for jimmy, hopefully he gets into Nationals and ends on a real positive note. I will always remember him fondly for coming up big in many situations and being a part of 2 national championships...hopefully a 3rd in a few weeks..Lets move on and support the guys we have out there and afterwards start talking about next season.
Agree. Not even mad. I'm sure he is very, very frustrated and very aware of what his performance this weekend meant to his team. The kid is just a complete enigma.
Good question. Looks like the anti-guys that diss everyone on Lions Den have taken over wrestling room where most of us are just interested in wrestling results, not opinions of non-wrestlers. Lets just get back to following the wrestlers, their results .. and rooting for every Nittany Lion to do their best!!
Don't think people should make insulting comments or get overly personal, but there is nothing wrong with stating that Jimmy has cost us a lot of points by wrestling so far below his seed @41 (especially given that many of these points were surrendered directly to Pletcher). The athletes put themselves out there - that's what it's all about. The reason PSU is not going into the final session with a much better chance to win is the quite simply the results at 141 which are well beyond anything imagined to the downside. If Jimmy produces even half the points he should have, PSU is going into this afternoon's last session in decent shape.
"Tackle him! Get on top!"
He's going to Nationals. He finished 8th and the B1G has 9 auto-qualifiers @ 141. Jimmy has a chance to write his own ending at NCAAs. Champions don't give up or feel sorry for themselves.....Jimmy will be fine if he has the heart of a champion, which I expect he does.
