Turns out Guns was right, kinda

[nitlion6]

Just my take on things, but after running through brackets the guns was right. 8 scorers is better than 7 or 6.

With Nick apparently ready to go Penn State should have 8 score significant points. If Jimmy joins the party even better. Ohio State will have 6. Okie St should have 9, but none that will go boom. Iowa should have 5.

I have PSU by a wide margin.
The two OSUs neck and neck for 2nd, if the nature nuts get 3 or more finalists they should nudge past the Cowboys for 2nd. The Hawks will be well represented Saturday night but they don't have enough point scorers to squeeze past either OSU.

There. We can all relax and enjoy the build up to the event and the event itself.

of course 8 is better than 7. But then you say PSU by a wide margin. How many are you adding in for 125? Haven't played with brackets, but seeds for OSU as projected, other than Picc got 8 instead of 9. Our max is probably 105.

 

[pawrestlersintn]

"8 is better than 7" was never the argument. But, it does deserve this:

any way we can get 11 scorers? 11 > 10.

Maybe we can sub Cutch for Downey in the quarterfinal round if he gets there. He pinned Haught twice last season. PSU has done well with former Cyclones.

I think he has a Snapchat hummer scheduled during the quarters but I'm sure a dimebag and a 6 pack of natty bo could change his mind.

Do not forget, and I certainly won't, the number of points Mark Hall gets, in comparison to the points Morelli got last year.

I'll be posting the difference first thing after the tournament, for ALL of the posters during the shirt argument. Remember, THAT was their main argument.

last year scores don't matter. The question that no one can answer is what he would have scored this year.

One could argue Morelli had another year to get the Pitt out of him so he'd score more points this year than last.

You'd be wasting your time....

Holy crap. Ouch.

Except Downey is more Long and less Sanderson.

The argument was not created by me, it was created by them: How many points in differential between Hall and Morelli. "If's" cannot be drawn into the argument. I will state that at the top of the thread.

I have PSU winning by 16 or 21 points now that Nick is ready to go !!!!

I'm on the side of we don't know if Nick can go yet. Definitely on the side that thinks even if he goes how effective he could be and how long he could last is still a huge question.

 

[21Guns]

8 scoring wrestlers. This is how it needs to be done.

I gave the Pokes credit for 9. I figured Picc was good for a 1.5. He could do better he looked strong in that Big12 final, but getting Gilman Thursday night means he will have to earn them a half a point at a time. I have the Pokes with 9 AAs, but 6 of them are 5th through 8th and in my quick run through I have you guys at 106 points. One or two different outcomes you could chase 120.

I have the nature nuts with 6 significant scorers with 104, but that is two finalists. If they get the 3rd they could finish second a 4th they do finish 2nd.

Iowa has some elite talent, just not enough.
I have Gilman, Clark and Kemerer in the finals and Sammy and Sorenson 3rd. Meyer 7th. So 5 big guns and a single pop gun. I got about 92 for the Hawks.

PSU - Trying to be conservative and dampen down my hearts expectation.
Zain and Jason champs and Bo on the finals. Bookend Nick's 3rd and 4th.
The two freshmen in murderers row 4th (Cenzo) and 4th (Mark).
Matthew 5th at 97.
With bonus I get 145.

Now if I follow my heart I think Vincenzo is in the finals and I believe Mark wins, but I was trying to see what it looked like if the Lions don't wrestle a perfect tournament.

i havent figured the bucknuts yet, but had PSU at 125 without Suriano. Still not reading 100% into Caels statement, but apparently most are-if so, you could be pretty darn close.

Good thing, it will all play out over the 3 days. Bad thing, I wont be able to be there

spyker will be there for the three of us....

i have heard that before....

 

[Gray52]

Im still entering 0 points at 125 into my projections. I believe Nick continues to be a game-time decision. Hope im wrong.

By nature I'm a pessimist so I'm doing the same...

Yup - we'll know in about 15 seconds what we can expect. I hope to be pleasantly surprised and see him hit a quick, crisp single leg and start a ride

 

[21Guns]

Just go out and win, then win again, then rest it.

 

[purescurve]

i prefer to think of you as a well informed optimist.

 

[21Guns]

Brushed up on Akins from Buffalo, a bunch of youtube matches, etc...Jimenez hammered him pretty good. I think Nick can get the job done, even on a bum ankle. In fact, I think Nick can win the first two, as long as he simply sticks to his strengths and nothing strange happens. Even if it's just what you might call "75%".

thanks Guns... any big wins for Akins? I'm not familiar and haven't looked it up...

He has some nice wins too, but I don't have the rundown either, sorry. Micic beat him badly at junior worlds, but that's Micic. He's no tomato can, but Nick can do this with a bad ankle, at least that's what I thought. The idea that you can't beat "anyone" coming off an injury, I don't buy it.

But how good can this Micic character be? He couldn't even beat Nathan Tomsello...

When I said "But that's Micic" I meant that Micic is a great wrestler.

Until we take home the team title, I refuse to believe anyone that couldn't help us at B1Gs is a great wrestler

He's beaten 2 NCAA qualifiers this year, Elijah Oliver and Brent Fleetwood, nothing really stands out on his resume beyond that.
