Michigan match thread - Fri, Jan 19

[Psubiomed]

Amine has held Carr, Hamiti, Monday, and Griffith to 3 points or less. He knows how to slow down good wrestlers, it should be a good test.

That said, I'm not betting against Mitch.

It's not happening until B1Gs. Amine will duck this Friday

 

[Fatmarc]

Where has Lewan been? Injured? Expected back Friday?

bump--

also wondered where Lewan has been

 

[johnstownsteel]

My litmus test for all these potential national champs is can they get off the bottom against a quality opponent when in a tight match.
That's the last box to check for me with MM.

According to Ben (on FRL today) Mitch is good from bottom. Said a match between him and Keegan won't be determined by top and bottom but will be decided by who finishes and wins the scrambles.

 

[tullfan68]

I'm thinking that Austin Gomez's mouth is watering after seeing Kasak go upper body against Rooks. Hopefully Kasak will resist the urge on Friday and uses Gomez's aggressiveness against him.

Heck we don't even know how strong Kasak is I am guessing he is plenty strong!Besides strong means nothing if you can't use it, right OSU!

 

[tullfan68]

Amine should be favored due to higher ranking, but MM should take CA's #5 with a win. If voting on tags, I like The Rattler over Psycho, even "Manic" for some M action. Amine is certainly the test we've been waiting for.

adjective​

1. Full of or characterized by frenetic activity or wild excitement.

Higher Rankings??LOL

well if MM pins or techs bottom is nothing!

 

[NittanyChris]

I think Amine will obviously do his thing and try and make it a 3-2 match. That said, I'm not sure he's prepared for the hurricane that is coming his way.

Many will predict a low scoring affair with either wrestling winning by 1-3 points. I'm gonna say it's starts slowly but Mitchell overwhelms him and wins by 6-7 points.

WE ARE!!!

For Mitchell, I have a better one. I see some striking similarities to both the approach and wake of destruction left behind.

 

[Ruby Tues]

I like The Terminator

 

[Cali_Nittany]

165 - Mesenbrink will make Amine wrestle his pace so I am prepared for a fun match

FIFY

Yeah but Carter called him Pyscho.

Huge downvote on "psycho" for me too. This isn't the WWE. Maybe Nerf can find out what the guys call him on his next media day visit or ask MM what nickname he prefers.

An off-the-cuff description by CStar should hardly be the branding standard, especially when there are a million better adjectives for relentlessness and tenacity than psycho.

What Cstar eludes to, who are we to put asunder.

You keep saying this -- what's your evidence for it?

FRL today was 50/50 about Amine actually going this Friday. They mentioned his injury and his match count this year.

 

[matter7172]

At the Journeyman Classic, that was one of the things I was specifically looking for from Mitchell. Not the highest level of competition, but I felt better after the tourney.
Also, if I recall, I think he gassed a bit in his first match. So, that was an aberration in regards to what we have seen the rest of the year.

He was on the mat right in front of us for that match. It sure looked like he just got over-hyped.

 

[District four]

yea they can't score any points when amine stalls the whole match!

I think mm has the pace to force a ref to call stalling it will look like amine is standing there doing nothing which is exactly what he will do

A 3-2 match with mm would be like watching wrestling in slow motion I don't think it's possible. Hell mm can score three points on accident

Is he injured or does Michigan have him on a match count? Two very different excuses.

They mentioned both. That's all I got. I hope he goes.

He can run, but he can’t hide. He can take his wuppin now or in March. 😎

Gomez Kasak will indeed be very interesting. Feet fly in Gomez matches……we all know.

 

[johnstownsteel]

He's not...

 

[wrestlingfan22]

I'm interested in Bullock vs Truax. Bullock is up and down but has a win over Fishback this year and is definitely capable of making it interesting.

 

[GogglesPaizano]

Now we are entering the real meat of the big 10 schedule, it's about time !

All three freshman matches should be really good. Big tests for all. KYPSW should start to see some separation this week, granted I expect very few of us will not go with our young guns.

Every time I see the name Gomez, I think of RBY signaling touchdown. I want redemption.

[Aardvark86]

Yeah but Carter called him Pyscho. As such, that is his (nick)name.

Your post is an excellent reminder of the god-given power of "The Nickname Dubber" within a given subset of people, particularly young males. By the laws of nature, not everyone has that authority, and when the Nickname Dubber speaks, that is the end of the matter. Sort of like Chevron deference.

You can't let a guy choose his own nickname, that would be like letting a fighter pilot choose his own call sign.

Wrestlestat may have info no one else has. They have the injury ambulance on his name which i thought in the past meant out with injury.

 

[johnstownsteel]

I like that now when anyone in the entire wrestling community hears the name Mitchell they know exactly who u are talking about.

Put me in the camp that thinks he doesn't need a nickname.
