Match Thread Ohio State dual thread - Feb 14

Will be in Daytona Sunday so if someone could do play by play I'd greatly appreciate it.

Ya know what? Now that i think about it, Let just go ahead and thank @SlipperyPete12 ahead of time.

@SlipperyPete12 is as prolific with his PBP here as Byers is on the radio broadcast.

WAIT A MINUTE …. Are we sure they’re not the same person? Has anyone seen Byers and Pete in the same room?

To solve this mystery, Pete please record an audio clip of yourself pronouncing the word “sixth” and post it here.
 
I'm planning on going out from the Harrisburg area. Anyone else going to be there? I wanna find a local sports bar to catch the last half of the Iowa/Minny match.
 
He wished that he had Jese's skill.

Cannon got that start last week. He has a win over Chittum this year. Sammy and Cannon will hit an open to decide the spot . Sad watching Sammy compete at 50% I think in the future we see him back to top form in freestyle. He just didn't have the time to heal up enough before the college season. My guess is we see Cannon at Big 10s
That just wouldn’t sit right with me. (Unless Sasso is all for it)

They will both be at Lock Haven for the open on Sunday to figure out 157
I get that it’s wrestling and you have to earn your spot on the mat, but Sasso’s circumstances are extenuating enough that he should be the guy no questions asked. Loyal veteran, team leader (blackshirt jokes aside), last season, coming back from life-threatening act of senseless violence. I think Sasso has earned the spot regardless of his results this particular season.

And unlike one of the coaches on staff, his raw hand was not self-dealt. If he’s “wrestling off” at the open, I hope it is at his request that it be this way.

I bet Sasso is the last guy on Earth who thinks he should be given a spot, extenuating or not.
 
If possible, can one of you fine folks let me know how to listen to JB's tOSU coverage in the morning (replay)? Can't listen live tonight and I have some windshield time tomorrow.

Sammy only wants to be the guy if he's the best guy. He doesn't want it handed to him. Cannon was the only guy listed for tonight in the probables and it's the last dual this year
 
Not seeing either of them listed. Have they announced they are going to Mat-Town?
Haven't seen it announced but I heard it from a good source last week. Also heard Pyles say it on FRL. Now them not listing Sammy tonight for the last dual of the year and at home makes me believe maybe he's dinged up and Cannon could get that spot now.

Even if Cannon would likely finish higher at Bigs or NCAAs that Sasso…not like it’s going to make a difference in where Ohio State finishes. They are a fifth place team at best. (Dont see then finishing ahead of Good guys, Okie State, Iowa, or Nebraska). Let the kid wrestle if he is able.
 
Are we expecting Garcia at 133 and Sealey at 157? Garcia has wrestled well. He doesn’t choose bottom last Sunday and who knows.

A guy like Sasso has a lot of pride in himself. It's entirely possible (if not likely) that he said that he wouldn't be comfortable taking someone's spot if he's not the best guy in the room for the spot. This is the part of it that we don't know. If he's not up to the level he expects of himself and is struggling and getting beaten in the room, he may want to let the other guy take the spot instead of basically doing a symbolic curtain call.
 
Hearing Kerk out tonight with an illness

Damn. That's potentially 3 starters out and probably an even chance for a loss at 141. I don't think PSU loses this dual even under a worst case scenario, but geez. Is Cole Mirasola healthy and do we see him tonight? I'd actually feel OK about his chances against Feldman.

If Sealey goes at 157 he's as much of a sure thing as Kasak is from what I've heard.
