Man, Nickal is like a honey badger. He doesn't care about anything. Takes risks, whatever. It doesn't phase him when he gets stung.
PSU vs tOSU
- Thread starter andegre
- Start date
Ryan wasn't remotely hit in the head. Jason Nolf was grinding him to death. It was nothing more than a break to catch his breathe.
Nice Bo puts an exclamation point on it by making the staller come to him with the RT-ADV and then countered him straight to his back to take it 11-5. The only thing Myles is better than Bo at is stalling! Tell Mr. Martin the only way precious even keeps it close is if he stalls the entire match to stay away from Bo's offense.
Big win for Mouse! Really dominated Courts. I
Conway and Mouse looked awesome today. Wow!
Totally! Mac - what a hero! Love that guy! Love slaughtering the lipsticks
In Macintosh match it was 6-1, the he cuts fox it becomes 6-2, then goes to 7-2. What was that point for?
Big 10 network: no interviews w PSU wrestlers. 2 with osu. Tomaselli wrestler of the match. Wtf? Figures
Yeah. Kind of odd that they wouldn't interview one guy from the winning team that just packed 16,000 bodies into an arena for a college wrestling match.
Some of you guys really take the cake lol can't wait for the big tens
Anyone attending the match - can u comment on the arena atmosphere / energy?
My dad and I saw Suriano at the NLI, he said he had never seen an atmosphere like that at the BJC and is so excited to wrestle for Penn State. In reference to my earlier post, Nick confirmed that it was in fact Gable that I saw earlier.
Yea, where's the love? The BTN website has two videos: One of Tomasello's win and the other of Micah Jordan's win. No videos of Penn State victories. In the text, they mention the wins of three OSU wrestlers, but only mention Conaway's win for PSU. Biased or what?

Wrestler of the match to Tomasello is completely defensible. He did just beat a 2x national finalist.
The interview selections ... that's another matter.
Same could be said for Morelli against BOJO. Martin looked pretty freakin' good to me considering Bo is the #1 guy in the country. Clearly MM is better than his current #15 ranking.
Can we cut the victimhood? We just doubled the score on the defending national champs. BTN coverage toward Ohio State is immaterial.
Surprised it wasn't preempted for a showing of the 1975 OSU-Michigan football game. Thanks for small favors BTN
The guy that is ranked 4 to tomasello's 1? Where he won on a defensive scramble and did nothing else....
The most exciting match was Conaway's win undoubtedly.
Tim Johnson, you dope.Apparently Tim Johnson isn't good at math, or he doesn't understand who won the 285 bout. Johnson at least twice announced the final dual meet score as 29-9.
Getting the score wrong once was bad, twice was indefensible. You broadcast the whole match and can't process the final score?
Agree, NATO was extremely lucky to win that match - he did absolutely nothing in regards to initiating his own offense the entire match and Mega had him dead to rights on that last shot but just got his trailing foot caught in a fluke position when he was coming through. Still say NATO torquing the ankle directly up at that angle is supposed to be called immediately for PT. NATO also illegally grabed and hung onto Mega's headgear multiple times without even a freaking warning.

And they wrote an awesome Zain joke -- this one's gonna get some use:
Off - Vegas Odds: Zain by Fall - 1st Period (-$150), 2nd Period (Even), 3rd Period (+150)

Gotta like that PSU was the aggressor in virtually every match (except for 285) even in losses at 125, 141, and 165.
Did Courts do anything?

From what I saw, PSU could realistically end up with 8 AAs and 5 Champions - 25, 33, 41, 49, 57, 74, 84 and 97. Heck, PSU has a punchers chance outside shot of making the podium at 65 with either wrestler imho! We'll just have to see how NN looks once he hits the mats. Has anybody ever AA'ed at every weight class? It is not beyond the realm of possibility if NN looks really good when he hits the mats.

I'm not too sure about your 141 prediction.
Great duel! Pretty much what I expected. Nico match coul have gone either way. Based on what I've seen this yet, I feel Gilman gonna take 125 this year.
Conaway great match!
Guilibon- I may be alone here but I saw a lot of positives. He took the desperation shot a the end for no reason but I like the way he looked
Zain-monster no one in his class at this weight
Nolf-another dominate performance against a kid clearly stalling
Morelli-is it me or can this kid wrestle with anyone at this weight? Problem is he has no offense. If he can develop just a little offense, this kid is AA potential at this weight. After watching both Jordan's this year, I feel this is the weakest weight class in the nation. Besides derringer no one else has any offense.
Bo-great match vs tough opponent.
Cutch-great performance
Mac-takedown clinic vs weak guy. Did what he should have
Johnson-overmatched can't wait to see Snyder/Gwiz and Snyder/Coon
Fun match!

I was actually really impressed with Jimmy tonight - he was very, very close on a couple of those TDs. What impressed me most was Jimmy was determined to take the battle to Jordan and was very close imho - he could close the gap between now and B1Gs. MJ did not look that impressive if you ask me and wrestled scared for supposedly being the far superior wrestler - he looked content to just try and back into a win and didn't take the action to Jimmy at all.
Just my gut. I like the most offensive guys when it comes down to it. All of them are great and I'm not taking anything away from anyone of the big 4.
That being said, I've watched almost all of Iowa and PSU matches this year and Gilman just seems stronger this year and much more ways to score than the other 3. I'd love to see Nico win it his senior year and maybe I'm just trying to use reverse physcology on myself
