PSU - OSU Match Thread

- Start date
Solid match all told, except perhaps for Joe Lee getting caught, and even then he was wrestling pretty well until that point. Both Joe Lee and Beard seem to come out strong and hard in first periods.
Nick Lee, RBY, and Brooks were clearly dominant. Beard was on fire and showed Cael he made the right choice at 197. Berge, Nevills, and C-Starr proved they can win close ones. Freshman Howard and Bartlett fought hard against more experienced guys.

The team looked much better today. Their energy level was way up from last weekend where several of our best wrestlers looked flat.
Tan Tom took his ball and went home.
Boys looking good! Only real disapointing match was JLEE. He needs to clean it up. Not sure why last year he was wrecking kids and this year can’t get take downs. Still high on him and have faith he turns it around.
Starocci two weeks in a row with gutsy performances not only against #2 ranked guys but also righted the ship for both duals and bailed out Lee
Bartlett. No doubt in my mind he should be the guy. I don’t care what happens in the room, I trust my eyes and trust guys that can get to legs.
Howard..not sure what to make of him yet. Young freshman just getting his feet wet and he’ll only get better.
RBY animal tonight, Beard a beast tonight, NLEE dominant as always and Brooks a master!
Seth with a gutsy win. If he’s going to make the podium, Orndorff is type of guy he has to beat.
We make our home opener and season finale Monday. Would like to see Howard and Beau get two matches in to avoid anything

Seriously though, when was the last time you saw such a clean TD against Sasso? So impressive by Beau.
Right, the ref's head is 1-2 feet from the action, and you guys had a better angle.
I've had matches where a guy's back was no more than 1/2" off the mat for over 2 minutes. The stands are going crazy, the coaches are going crazy, blah, blah, blah. You just stay in position, and wait to see if the offensive wrestler ever gets the defensive wrestler into an actual pin.
Beard would have gotten the pin sooner if he changed the grip on Hoffman's head, and elevated it. As it was, he was reaching across and Hoffman elevated the right shoulder. Beard was countering that with his moves on Hoffman's right foot.
Nick Lee at who’s number 1
I think Brady is like that poker player who waits all night for the big pot. He spends his time reading his opponent, studying tendencies, and when it’s time to go all in, he’s ready.
Others will know better than I, but some of these guys are great at figuring out foot patterns of the opponent. Maybe Brady is one of the best.
Unfortunately, saying outrageous and controversial things seems to get many people jobs in sports media.
Say what you want about tosu, but this is the truth.
No interviews by Byers.
That's a wrap for me.
Nice job by PSU tonight. Joe Lee got caught, which was a surprise and disappointing, but win or lose (mostly win), PSU wrestlers did very well tonight.

Four bonus wins is more like it. Peaking at the right time... as usual.
I can do without TR's social media antics obviously (especially when it's directly at us half the time lol) but it's clear the class his wrestlers demonstrate start up top. I'll always respect him for that.
Tom McAndrew thank you for your play by play.
The yuks are in a rut.
Better go win the recruiting NC because they have fallen off from the team championship
Good effort by BB. Sasso is not a big 149 and BB looked small. He looked like a nice 141. Happy to see him represent, he showed some skills.
Seth needs to spend the off season with Cassar and hit the weights
The leg wasnt helping Beard, shoulda focused on the head and get off your knees
Disappointed, yes. However, after the asshat behavior of one of our own in their PSU-UM thread, I’m not surprised.
Have to say I was shocked at how well Bartlett did against a probable NCAA finalist - that first shot was clean, clean, clean against one of the most sound, if not the soundest, defensive wrestlers in the NCAA. He held his own and that match was far closer than I expected if he made the start (frankly, I was very surprised he made the start). The good news is that the gap is not that huge - given how he looked against Sasso, he's got an outside shot at making some noise at B1Gs and NCAAs imho.
98, thank you for the homerun.
I was pretty close to punching the wall and remembered all the drywall contractors were all tied up.
Someone should create a "Hot or Not" spectrum for teams in term of how hot-headed their coaches, athletes, and fans are.
Clearly, Iowa and Rutgers are among the "hotter" (hot-headed) teams. PSU (coaches and athletes at least ... not always sure about fans
) are "cooler". Ohio State wrestlers are generally cooler in temperament (e.g., the Jordans) ...not sure about the coach, although Ryan seems like a decent person despite the ribbing he gets. Okie State (and Smith) a bit "warmer" and so on.

I almost forgot there's not enough time when the tanning beds close at 9:30.
BoBars TD was not only lightning quick but timed perfectly, I expect more of the same if he sees Sasso at BJC
