Michigan match thread - Fri, Jan 19

[billrag]

I distinctly heard Cael say "if he goes on Friday" and presumed he was referencing Kasak, but with this new news, perhaps he was referencing Gomez. It's unimaginable that Kasak wouldn't go against Gomez unless he was injured or something and there's been no chit-chat about that, so perhaps Cael knew that Gomez was in Mexico for the weekend. And I agree that this would make the dual even less competitive. I don't know about Davis/DeAugustino yet, but hope it's extremely competitive, if not a Davis win.

 

[STAND with PRIDE]

Does Cael ever "train through" a weekend with 2 matches? I don't recall.

Isnt that match/ matches typically in February anyway?

 

[tullfan68]

I wrestled 103 in high school and talked my friend into wrestling he was about 180 we wrestled together all the time since he was new and we both got better he ended up being pretty good for wrestling just 1 yr!

Re watched this match this morning. Davis has the Nick Lee intensity (maybe a tiny bit more 😲 ) plus some Gilman swagger. Being a four time state champ with four team titles is a thing when comes to confidence and being a killer. He faces a real challenge today but I think he sets the pace and drags DeAugustino into deep waters. If Gomez doesn't show. A shutout is in the works.

Every time I see a picture of Braden Davis I cannot believe we’re sending 14-year-olds out there to wrestle college kids

And he's winning, too. It's like Bo Bassett used a fake ID to get into college. LOL.

I knew it was gonna happen. I think this makes the 7th thread.

Edit - Mods swoop in with a stealthy merge. Are these guys great or what??
Hats off to @CSauertiegPSU, @Richard Schnyderite, and our other Staff members who do a great job cleaning this place up. Thanks fellas! 😀👍🏻👏🏼

 

[STAND with PRIDE]

No kidding, we wrestle Michigan TONIGHT??
Why didnt somebody say something before now?!?!

 

[RB-Old]

Official predictions:

Davis: will press him down
Nagao: will press down, go for the gusto but ultimately not achieve it
Bartlett: will shoot the leg and achieve gusto
Kasak: will have a mat return but not get credit for a takedown but still press down
Haines: will press down with midsection in tow
Mesenbrink: will shoot the leg multiple times, go for the gusto and get the gusto
Starocci: gusto
Truax: will shoot the leg with the ankle in tow
Brooks: gusto
Kerkvleit: will shoot the leg two times and then press down, no gusto but very close to gusto

 

[GogglesPaizano]

This is going to be a great dual. There will likely be some unexpected results, let's get through the whole weekend healthy.

We have all been around long enough to know that for our three freshmen in particular it's a win-win situation.

If any of them win, it's a pretty formal statement to the rest of the wrestling world, that 'he has arrived' and is firmly in the AA conversation, or better (PS - we already all think that for all three 👍). If any of them lose, well we have seen that movie before, and what an early career loss tends to do for PSU stud freshmen.

Good times.

Ha, I have a sneaking suspicion one of those guys is the one paying attention and cleaning up after the other.

If only Cael had an inside source on the Mexico national team.

No football tackles? I think tonight we get Sparks and Gibbons though.

Gibbons will try to turn every conversation to the great Iowa team.

Good point, though I am sure there will be commentary on here that will proclaim gusto whenever it is observed.

Really thinking about having some "Go for the gusto!" tshirts made in blue & white. . . .

at some point, I'll bet, both wrestlers will grab a leg and press down but neither will be going for the gusto, so the ref will call a break.

"The Pursuit of Gusto" seems like a solid name for the team's hype video

As good as that is, I prefer more of an Al Davis-themed slogan:
Commitment to Gusto

Go for the gusto is fine but some of us go all the way back to fist to the back.

Hate to be a grammer nazi, but the plural form of who is is whose. It should be used hear cause theirs gonna be atleast seven threads.

We are fortunate to have Davis at Penn State. His hometown is only about 20 miles from Ann Arbor.

Thank you. Post has been edited as to avoid any further confusion. 😜

Michigan should feel fortunate to have had him for 18 years.

we'll have mich announcers, I assume. You're right, ours didn't know the name of any moves.... I think she used a gymnastic hip move reference once.... Ironhead I will find you

 

[Cowbell Man]

Go for the gusto is fine but some of us go all the way back to fist to the back.

I feel like, in order to avoid giving up a penalty point, the fist in the back was renamed going for the gusto.

Still……..no one is going to get it.

A stallmate tho….thats possible.

It’s on BTN so it will be BTN announcers.

Can you imagine if for a joke they'd play one of the old Schlitz commercials at Rec during the next match. That would be funny, ' going for the gusto'. I haven't heard that word used in years until this student announcer.

He looks exactly like Kyle Dake when he hits 40!

Say it at two Big Ten tournaments, become an elite announcer.
