Iowa Predictions

And honestly I think its obvious Austin has added some offensive arsenal this year. RBY may still hold that arm back but I'm guessing it's a lot less than last year. Terry has clearly been working with Austin a lot. Looking forward to this match!

Lee- pin 6-0 Iowa
AD-decision 9-0 Iowa
N Lee- pin 9-6 Iowa
Lugo- decision 12-6 Iowa
Young- decision 15-6 Iowa
Cenzo-decision 15-9 Iowa
Hall- decision 15-12 Iowa
Brooks-decision 15-15 Tie
Shak-decision 15-18 PSU
Snacks-decision 15-21 PSU

This could happen it's anyone's guess but this isn't that far out of the realm of possibility I think Cael has them ready for this
 
Just can’t see us winning more than 3 matches, I don’t think it will be close
 
This will be a tough one. The more I think of it the better chance I think we have (though I started at a very low chance). Looking at the matchups, would anyone be shocked if RBY won, would anyone be shocked if Hall, Brooks, or Rasheed would catch and pin their guy? Or that Berge has been ok for a couple weeks and we just have him some extra rest and he comes out and sneaks out a win? Any one of those results and all of a sudden we are right in it.

I will say, I have less faith in Nevills beating Cass than many here. I just don’t see him keeping it within 2 from neutral and doubt he can turn him.

Alternatively, I am dumbfounded by people’s lack of faith in Brooks. Not just here but all over. Two weeks ago no one outside of Iowa would have picked Assad. Suddenly Venz does Venz things and Assad is a huge favorite? I don’t buy it. No doubt Assad can win, but I don’t see how he is a clear favorite unless you think Brooks is banged up (may be).

All that said, I still think my KYPSW picks will end up 23-10 Iowa.

Exactly! Brooks is flat out better than Assad. Would any Penn State fan take Assad over Brooks to represent PSU? No way. Starocci can shed a little light on how to handle Abe. I take AB in this match up all day long. He's the better wrestler and the better athlete. Assad is really good. But he is going to hate wrestling Brooks for the next 4 years.
 
I unfortunately won't be able to watch tonight due to my wife's Amazon "holiday" party. Instead of having it like normal companies in December they decide to schedule it for tonight of all nights. What a croc of sh**!

I'm playing in a tennis tournament tonight, and my match starts at 8:30, but I have the DVR set, so I'll watch as soon as I get home.
 
Prediction. Great intensity, great match. Both teams show up with best effort. Great wresting match for TV.
Penn State by 2.
 
They will start at 125

No E-man

I just cracked a bottle Woodford Reserve I got from an employee for Christmas to pre game

Going to do an early dinner out.

Will root the good guys on as well as I can from my chair

BUT this evening has the feel of the empire strikes back..........

we dont really have a chance

people are resigned to our place in it

we still have a few team members making "it" happen

but in the end someone is probably going to let us down and well be put up on the wall as a decoration for some slob and cackling idiot sidekick to laugh at

PS- Ive been doing keto since J-6 and Im down 18lbs but i get screwed up quick. So forgive me tonight if I say something unbecoming of a BWI poster.
