PSU Pre season rankings - guesses.

( PS - and before Roar & a few others say 'rankings don't matter in October', I say "Yeah, I know - this is just a discussion point & not the end of the world - it is a message & discussion board last time I checked )

Ha, not sure when I said that...post it or it didn't happen!!

Seriously, I do my own rankings (but this year only managed a July review, time-constrained), and love reading others.
As a fan, here's my feelings about pre-season rankings;
1) They're awesome in that they get our juices flowing, and signal the soon-to-start wrestling season, and...
2) Way too many fans take them WAY TOO SERIOUSLY. Just not worth fretting over (may have said that).

Your guesses are as good as any this early, diggerpup. No quibble from me.
 
they are what they are! 33 is going to be an interesting weight as there are a few on top and a lot near the top. Will be interesting to see how Cortez fairs.
 
I don't think picc will be at Reno because the scuffle isn't that many days away. They've usually sent their backups to that and a couple of guys who also wrestle in the scuffle
All the starters are going to Reno this year since PSU isn't going to the Scuffle. Coach wants a little head to head against PSU starters. Watch Cael not wrestle their studs in Reno!

The odds of all the OSU starters being in Reno is pretty much ZERO. Your last sentence is just to stupid for words and is beneath any true wrestling fan.

...early season rankings are just a ploy to get the fans interested in the season...sorta like the weekly football rankings...
...the only ones that really mean anything are pre-Big 10s and pre-NCAAs when they figure in the seeding process...
...but at least they show people are excited about the coming season...

understatement of the summer.

Can anyone tell me why there is so much discontent with Mike T? Besides the obvious.
 
I used to enjoy some of the lighthearted banter that Tognetti threw out there, but lately it seems that his account has been co-opted by a 12 year old.

I'm OK with some intelligent light trolling of the fan bases (and, jeez, some of our posters deserve it), but there is a key word that has been missing in all of Mikey T's posts lately. "Watch Cael not wrestle the studs in Reno" might be a new low. "Watch John Smith eat a bunch of hamburgers" might garner more response than that attempt.
 
I think Jan Johnson is playing MLB.

What a year of experience he is having for a walk-on !!

EDIT - damn. Now he hurt his leg. Hope he is ok.
 
This football game is making me miss wrestling that much more...
Guess who makes $4M a year.

NoVa do you want to put some money on it? Your last sentence is just to stupid for words and is beneath any true wrestling fan (I will add) that has no connections with the team. That would be a true statement. Injuries of wrestlers of course would not count because I have no control of that. Cornell is Dec16 and Reno Dec18. My information came not from a insider, unless you want to call one of the head coaches a insider. Bet away NoVa, and since you said ZERO then I should get odds since in your mind it will never happen. I'll put $200 down and if I win you will owe me $1000. After all Zero means it will never happen big mouth. Put your money where your mouth is! I'll send my money to Dunkej01 and you send yours to him, I trust him and come Christmas my wife will have a nice Christmas present!

Hey Mike,
Since you got your info from one of the head coaches, any pictures taken and soon to be posted?

Some money on what? Your post said "Watch Cael not wrestle their studs in Reno!" Even though I don't trust that you would pay up I would still be willing to bet on that not happening. As to OSU somehow getting their starters to Reno for the first round on the 19th after a 7 PM dual meet in Stillwater on the 16th I would be interested in how they are going to get there and be ready to wrestle in only 36 hours when it is a 24 hour drive or a whole day trip by airplane. It could be done but why would Smith put his team thru that?
 
You'd figure the message would sink in after 6 years? Oh well, let the beatings continue

More then 6 years when it comes to OSU. Sanderson's first 3 years as head coach, he won the conference. His record in conference tournaments, scuffles and NCAAs is 14-1-1 against the Cowboys. Complete and utter dominance, but yea, he might have his studs duck the mighty cowboys, lol.

It was a phone call, and the odds of Daton being a Cowboy are high, still a possibility of a other east coast team with major OSU connections
Lyin' Mike, what odds are you giving on Daton staying in Oklahoma?
I at least put my money where my mouth is.

I already posted before about the reason John would do that. The trust factor shouldn't be a problem unless you can't read, Dunkej will be holding the money. The number Zero was on John not bringing all the starters, reread your post if that will help you!

Flight to Reno is 2 hours, as for Cael dodging OSU or other teams, why would Cael leave the best tournament in college other than Nationals? I have a answer=

Until you post your owed picture, your wagering credibility is lower than "no likelihood of receiving payment."

If you believe that Cael is not wrestling the Scuffle so he can dodge another team your credibility as a knowledgeable wrestling fan is lower than your wagering credibility.

Just saying.

As for the picture, I have posted recently that it will be in Oct. Credibility factor, that is why I used one of your own (and a honest guy) to hold the money! My money will not be a check but a money order to Dunkej so he will have cash in hand and I expect big mouth to do the same. Looks like big mouth has backed out. I should of used

= NoVa, sorry Cael. There are many coaches early in the season that would protect there wrestler, just a example would be why a lot of schools plan a lot of duals against schools that would be one sided early in the year. What other reason except for recruiting in that area.

The only thing Tognetti believes about PSU Wrestling is that he can get us to engage him so that he can ridicule us.

I won't call him a troll, but he lives under a bridge and isn't homeless.

Jammen without the charm.

With jammmie hiding under his rock from the JRob problems, FLO should put up a poll for college wrestling's #1 troll. The Okie State cow clown could win this year.

Did I hurt some feelings here, sorry I thought this was a wrestling board not a Girl Scout Convention. Do most of you think Cael walks on water, most of you act like he does. A very good wrestling coach but walking on water, NO. Do I think John Walks on water, NO. A very good wrestling coach and a good guy, YES.
