PSU vs tOSU

Am I the only one that feels this match won't be close??

osu will get 3 wins, 2 from the Jordan's and Snyder for a total of 10pts!
Will agree that is close to best case, but you're assuming every toss-up goes our way.
 
He might get bonused. It's possible. He's been up and down all year. He has wrestled some guys really tough, beaten some good kids, and lost some head scratchers, too. My point is that there isn't one weight where you look at it outside of HWT where you go, "yeah, that's definitely a bonus situation for OSU." There are three weights for PSU where you can do that. 149, 157, and 197. I think you're looking at 12 bonus points minimum for PSU.

15 bonus points???

Why not 30?

So I'm guessing the Jordan's are regular decisions and and you only have the defending World Champion majoring the football player. Could happen, I guess, if Johnson just follows my advice and goes out with a stout forearm to the head from a 3 point stance. I have it at 11...Snyder with a tech fall since he doesn't seem to pin that often.

I hope you sit next to jrd23psu during the dual so you guys can discuss how PSU will score more bonus (15) than tOSU total team points (10).

Any takers for PSU (or hell just Nolf/Retherford) scoring more bonus points than tOSU total points scored in the 10 matches (match points, not team points)?

I think you guys misunderstood his post. When he said minimum 12 bonus points and then later 15 bonus points he was referencing 3 matches 149, 157, 197.

He was totalling up the points for those matches and calling them bonus. I would refer to those matches as 6 bonus points (probable), but he is referring to the total as "bonus."

Of course, if you already knew this and were just providing some humor - I lost it in translation.

If you actually look at Snyder's record, you'll notice he doesn't tech fall too often either. Twice in his career and he's wrestled more than 2 guys worse than Johnson.

I would probably predict a TF also, but predicting a major in this instance really isn't a reflection of the Snyder-Johnson talent disparity. More of Snyder's track record.

I did my math wrong. Here is what I figure on bonus, because I definitely added them wrong.

Zain +6 team (+3 bonus)
Nolf +5 team (+2 bonus)
McIntosh +4 team (+1 bonus)

I made the mistake of originally adding the team points as bonus, and adding them incorrectly to boot.

That's my fault. In reality, I see either 6 or 7 bonus points. It just depends on whether Nolf techs or pins his opponent.

Aww man. It's not as funny anymore.

I had a feeling that's what you meant but gave benefit of the doubt to the funnier option. You keep setting em up and I'll keep knocking em down.
 
NYWrestler, good luck this evening and enjoy the match. I see our two teams vying for the top spot next several years. Take care.
I see PSU in the top spot the next few years and the rest trying to take it.
WE ARE!!!!
 
The most Nico way to lose... Disappointing. But of course, Tomasello is a complete stud.
 
That was a good match by JC, but why did they stop the match in the first? Also they were clearly out of bounds right before JDJ was hit with the stalling point. When was he warned?
 
The ref didn't call them out of bounds. He was actually counting JDJ being on his ankle for the 5 count. That was a little iffy, but he was counting it out.

I saw he was counting, but thought he came up. Either way nice comeback.

I guess that answers the warning question as well.
 
Nice rideout though. Hadn't seen a lot of that from him. Seeing some improvement from 141
 
Nice match by the freshman Jordan in a tough environment. I like how he committed to getting that last 2 points when he didn't need it.
 
Yea Jimmy panicked at the end of first and third period with bad shots. Micah did nothing. Jimmy should have taken it to extra. He was better on top
 
Did anybody notice Nico limp off the match after the match? He usually runs off, and he tried to tonight but pulled up. I only saw it briefly while watching the Big 10 Network coverage.....
 
... Why could Nolf not take down following the injury timeout it would've made a difference between a major decision and a technical fall...

Micah did nothing? Haha! come on man. Sharp looking Freshman. He is no Zain or Nolf yet but you can give the teenager some credit

How many times did the Official allow NATO to outright grab and hang onto Mega's headgear? It's illegal to grab the headgear and I believe NATO grabbed Mega's headgear 3 separate times and wasn't even warned once. NATO also spent the entire 3rd stalling and not taking a single shot and the counter scramble should have been called PT given the angle NATO bent Mega's ankle to.
 
In an interesting recruiting note, I think I saw Gable Steveson in attendence and hanging with hs teammate Mark Hall. Maybe someone can confirm/debunk this observation?
