Match Thread Ohio State dual - Fri, Feb 2

Carter was a 170 who wrestled up a weight his entire SR year, for the challenge. Zain and Mouse both did the same thing their SR years.

This was never a matter of him being unserious, unfocused, or undisciplined.
Oh, I didn't think he was any of those things. His rapid progress impressed me, though.
 
Maybe. OTOH, it would've forced CHA fans to drink their beers instead of throwing them.
When I saw the beer bottle being thrown at Carter, I must admit that the Iowa crowd in our section was upset about it.

Paul and I were looking for security to escort the guy/girl to be escorted out, but nothing happened to the individual that threw the bottle.
 
He could’ve wrestled for the coaches that talk a lot, but they’re harmless little guys.
Never understood the height jokes regarding wrestlers and coaches. Wrestling is mostly shorter guys..
 
Anyone know whether or not Shane Sparks will be at rec hall tomorrow? I’d love to get the chance to meet him and get a picture.

Speaking of him, what are everyone’s thoughts on sparks? Personally I love him and everything he does for the sport. He’s a great announcer who really makes a big impact on the sport.
He is in Ann Arbor

Good luck to your guys tonight (like they need it lol), hopefully my Bucks can pull off a couple wins and at least be competitive for 7 minutes. It is a great opportunity for this very young team, so hopefully they make the most of it.
I really hope they start at 125 tonight because the lightweights should all be competitive and dramatic matches, whereas tOSU (like every other team in college wrestling), is going to get smashed by the murderers row in the back half of PSU's lineup. Michigan chose to start at 157, basically ensuring that it was going to be over by intermission (and putting people to sleep by having to watch Lewan to start). Stupid.

I anticipate hard fought matches at

125
133
141
149
184

I love Rocco's potential but I don't think he's at a point in his career where he'll have much for Carter. Same story with Feldman/Kerk right now. I'm actually pretty high on Geog and just feel he was more of a raw talent and he'll get there one day.

Really sad because Sammy vs Levi I'm sure was the one everyone looked forward to before the season. Hope his recovery is going well, he seems to be progressing at a great pace! Similarly, hope Kharchla, Paddy make speedy and complete recoveries.

No wonder Paul gets the evil eye alot.

I'm currently at a Taylor Swift themed kids event (twin 5 year old daughters) and probably missing the dual until later. Good thing I've got it recorded.
Your a great dad....glad you have your priorities straight. I'm sure you would have loved to watch it live, but recording and watching it later is a good plan B.

BTW, which is harder, missing watching the meet live, or enduring a Taylor Swift themed party? ;)
 
One hour to go. Unfortunately, our opponents tonight had a long bus ride, it’s flu season and I can’t promise that the refs will be any better than average.
Tan Tom is always a big talker before the Penn State matches and has endless excuses after his guys can't back his tough talk up. It's always just 2 or 3 years away for Ohio State..... but manana never comes.

Thanks, appreciate it.

It's not that easy, hah. On a Friday evening I'd much rather be planted on my couch watching, but these two have been obsessed with Taylor as of late, so it's a no brainer.
 
At the time he meant the D1 coaches. Carter had for God knows what reason gotten less recruiting attention than lesser prospects, and committed much later than most. At one point Willie publicly begged D1 coaches to recruit Carter.
If I remember correctly, you were in on Carter earlier than anyone here. And even before Willie was..
 
Like Cael, Jake or DT?
Do you really want me to name dozens Penn State wrestlers under 5' 9" since Cael started coaching? You picked 3 taller wrestlers to prove your point? 😆

If Cael was as tall as Brands, Zeke, John Smith you guys wouldn't make fun of short wrestlers/coaches calling them midgets and whatnot. Your coach is tall so it's funny I guess.

Are they constantly cutting to Travis Kelley in the owner’s box?
 
If Spencer Lee becomes your next head coach I'm guessing you tone it down the short guy talk. 😆
