Rutgers dual thread - Jan 24

im-an-old-man-im-confused-5mt52abrnmszr6j6.gif
Guilty as charged.
 
Some inkling of sending out Mason Gibson, so the McCort guys will root for Rutgers as opposed to being observers.

Personalizing the match for them is a pretty smart idea. Not like the dual outcome hinges on Shawver.
The difference between maybe a shutout and no maybe.
 
I'd like to be a fly on the wall when Goodale explains his reasoning for keeping Shawver out of the dual tonight to Shawver. 🤣

Goodale: Hey Dylan, got a minute?
Shawver: Sure, coach. What's up?
Goodale: We're holding you out of the PSU dual. Gibson will go instead.
Shawver: What the hell, coach! Is this to protect my seed or something?
Goodale: No, nothing like that.
Shawver: Well, how come then?
Goodale: Well, it's just that we're hosting Bo Bassett and the McCort crew at the PSU dual.
Shawver: Yeah, so?
Goodale: Well, just between you and me, we're gonna get flattened by PSU in that dual. So Bassett will probably be bored as hell; it won't be a good look for us.
Shawver: Well, I'm planning to beat Davis.
Goodale: Yeah, I know you can. But Bassett will be more interested, at least for one bout, if we roll out Gibson at 133.
Shawver: Seriously, coach? We could get shut out if Gibson goes.
Goodale: Yeah, I know. But it's worth it, if we can get Bassett's attention for even 10 minutes. I still can't believe he and the McCort crew are actually gonna visit here.
Shawver: Yeah, whatever, coach. I gotta go.
 
Everyone has to remember when psu wrestling comes into your building it’s like Elvis is performing live or trump is in the room. It’s an event

You forgot the closer:
Goodale: BOOM!
 
I'm here but I don't see anyone.

What? Rutgers? Oh, I thought we were all going to the Columbia Penn dual. Your loss I guess.

“Look how much we care about you, our top recruit. You will be our top wrestler! We’ll even sit our current top wrestler in a key match to impress you, a kid that won’t even be here for another two years!”

If Peterson loses and shawver doesn't wrestle Rutgers is getting smoked. Not a good recruiting look.

The recruiting look is all about the environment with the gym packed and the fans going nuts (for the 30 seconds that lasts).

If they wanted Bassett to see Rutgers win, they could've scheduled him for Indiana or some such.

125 - #6 Luke Lilledahl VS #19 Dean Peterson

Period 1:
Circling & tying up, then they break. Luke is holding center & Peterson is jumping around like a spider monkey. Circling & head tapping. Peterson shoots, but Luke blocks him off. Luke shoots a low single, but doesn't get there. Back to tying up. Luke is coming forward bit by bit. Luke reaches for an ankle, but doesn't get to it. Luke has Peterson on the edge, but then Peterson circles back to center. Peterson reaches for a leg, but no luck. Luke counters, but no luck & they're back to circling in the center. Stoppage for fingers, restart. Straight to a tie up & hand fighting. More circling as the period ends. 0-0

Period 2:
Peterson takes down. He turns quickly & gets the escape in 2-sec, 1-0. Peterson shoots, but no luck. Back to tying up in the center. Luke shoots, but Peterson blocks him off. Luke with a half shot, but no luck. More tying up & pushing, 30-sec left. Luke with another half shot & Peterson blocks him off. More circling & tying up as the period ends. 1-0 Peterson

Period 3:
Luke takes down. He turns, then sits out, gets to his feet & gets the escape, 1-1. Luke is pushing forward now. He shoots, but Peterson circles away. Tying up & hand fighting in the center. Luke reaches for a leg, but Peterson has his other hand tied up & blocks it off. Luke reaches for another ankle, but no luck. Luke shoots again, but nothing. He drives forward & pushes Peterson to the edge, but Peterson circles back in. Stoppage & restart. Peterson shoots off a restart & gets to the leg & then finishes off the TD, 4-1. That sucks. Restart for something. Luke is still down. He gets to his feet, but Peterson hangs on to the leg & time expires. Luke had difficulty getting through Peterson defense. Luke never got in deep on any of his shots. s

Dean Peterson DEC Luke Lilledahl 4-1

Team Score
PSU: 0
RUT: 3
