Thoughts on Iowa match

Question...did Iowa's disgusting performance hurt us, even a little, in the title hunt because OkSt is sure to have improved their seeds in several spots?
 
Assume Gilman's comments had the Pokes super fired up?

Az compared Gilman's remarks to the quotes of some of America's finest generals. I took issue with said comments however in retrospect he was right, you can compare Gilman's motivational skills to a famous america general, General Custer.

Well sad to say Gilman and Brooks only 2 that showed up for Iowa..Opps so did Kemdawg good Pa. boy..Was long day sure hope sun comes up tomorrow tired of this sleet ,rain, ice and snow.
 
125 - will be good entertaining match. Gilman may be a little too much right now close one
133 - HELP
141 - HELP kid will be too strong for JG - hope I'm wrong
149 - major, if not worse
157 - same as above
165 - same as above
174 - Morelli in tight one
184 - Nickal decision but in solid control - could catch Brooks and stick him
197 - McCutcheon tight one
285 - Nevills solid win over Stoll, bonus on anyone else

so that gets Iowa max of 12 points barring upset and PSU at least 24

Does the Mark Hall debate start again?!?? Mark already beat KC easily and would beat Myers. Not sure Morelli or Rasheed beat either wrestler.

There isn't any "debate": It's a simple fact that Penn State, with Mark Hall, is 15 to 20 points better than Penn State, without Mark Hall.

Iowa 141 is clearly bigger and stronger, BUT that does not mean he beats Jimmy. Every time somebody counts Jimmy out, he rises up. I think he finds a way to top Carton.

133 HELP, is correct. I see 6 Hawkeye points here, no way around it.

Not sure where you are getting your 174 prediction from: Without a missed call on Friday night for back points, we lose to unranked vs Rutgers.
 
I see one weight with better than 50% odds for a national championship on OSU, and that's Heil, who hasn't looked better than a point above the 4-5 guys immediately below him. Everyone else in the lineup is suspect or has an immovable object in front of them, like NaTo at 133 for Brock. Without doing the math it seems like their path to a team championship would involve a slew of best case scenarios (Collica and Crutchmer in the finals, Rogers upsetting someone better than him with a pin, like he did with Daniel Lewis) and Penn State underperforming at weights we really need to AA, like 165, 197, HWT. What really helps OSU is having marginal AA guys like Piccininni at Weigel at weak classes.
 
I don't see Brock beating Clark if they meet again. I also was rooting for Sorenson as I can't stand watching Collica wrestle (same as Heil). Thought Boyd was pinned, but I guess it didn't matter anyway. Smith just doesn't look like the same wrestler he was last year. Is the cut too much? I know he was injured earlier, but just doesn't look as nearly good as he was last year. Thought it was a boring match overall. I think OSU has some guys that are ranked higher than they will finish and that will be there undoing at the end. Heil is always playing with fire and that is dangerous during the tourney.

I'm worried about Clark. That shoulder harness is one issue, the wrist another issue, and there is little question that he is going it like this for the rest of the way.
 
I thought Boyd was pinned as well.

21 Guns- I'll believe JG winning when I see more of it.
174 - I just think Morelli will win a close match, he's good on top.
 
Couple of questions answered for me. We will be fine this year winning point wise. Nevills will beat whomever Iowa puts out there and 21 guns is starting to get on my nerves

Brock came dang close to that pin of mine and VJ is dead to me per LMS.
 
Iowa gets six if GC goes, but the chances of that are not great. Remember, The Man said Cortez was ready if needed last weekend.

It doesn't really matter......Cortez needs to be ready for nationals. Iowa is a bump in the process, nothing else. Would it be great to win the match, sure.

Bad day Hawks did not wrestle good.
Must drive Brands nuts the Sorensen wrestles but then the Okl dude didn't a dam thing either ref could have called both stalled out..
Clark will be ok that one bad move cost him and really don't know if that score board on the screen was right or was flos cause I watched it close and it was in lots of matches off on riding time.
Back to work all they can do..Pokes wanted it today and they deserve it..Maybe Hawks should let Penn State save air fare and just call it off next week..:(

Iowa still in the mix, as well as PSU and Tanmen...but Oklahoma State, with all ten wrestlers scoring points, is the clear #1 at the moment. Yes, they also have wrestlers who can score bonus for them, as well....Brock can bonus, Heil can bonus(early round), Rogers can bonus, and Crutchmer can bonus. No, it isn't in the same league as PSU or tanmen bonus points, but remember they don't NEED as much, since they'll get points out of all ten weights in St Louis.
 
What the @#$% happened to the HR I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts.........

6+ years ago it would be full on meltdown. Now, its just bad grades, a couple Mr. Pissy pants and several rational thoughts.

The football/bball posters that used to provide so much entertainment must be giving up I guess.

Maybe two butt whippings in a row, will bring it back to normal. #MakeHRgreatAgain

They even deleated Togs troll thread instead of letting it spiral uncontrollably into the abyss.
 
What?

I see an Oklahoma State team that is clearly number one in the nation and can score points at every single weight class in St Louis.

Right now, Cowboys are the favorites to win it all, as THINGS STAND CURRENTLY.
Nothing makes me happier than to see this. Since you have a near perect track record of being butt naked wrong every tim

You need to call your shot here. How many points are you saying Hall gets at NCAAs if they pull the shirt?

Maybe the reality, of the current state of college wrestling, has finally sunk in, previously there was a lot of denial.

You do realize that PSU has won NCs before by only having 8 wrestlers qualify and only 5 AAs.

No. you probably don't realize that.

You're terrible at understanding tournament scoring. And you're terrible at posting in general.

A whole lot of running your mouth and attacking and nothing about the actual sport of wrestling. Nice post. LMAO.

Actually I don't "have to" explain the points at all, especially to an all attack, no substance internet toughguy like "aalion" lmao, since I have Nitlion6, who explained it FOR ME, in another thread HAHAHAHAHAHA

"If Hall wins that is 20 placement + advancement points, figure a fall and 3 MD that's 25 points (perfect world).
Morelli or Rasheed finish 8th that's 5.5 or so. Finish 6th 10 points or so.
Finish blood round that's a couple points.

If the assumption is Hall finishes 1st or 2nd and Morelli/Rasheed finish round of 12 to 6-8, the math is maximized for effect but generally is OK."

64

OH, and that is ASSUMING our current #14 ranked guys, out wrestle their seeds by SIX SEEDS and finish 8th.

They really are failing relative to the standard that Gilman set.
