I'd like this post, but that would feel like I'm rooting for Kemerer to fail. Not so, I'm liking it because I'm in agreement.
Two keys to victory for Michigan -
- Thread starter jack66
- Start date
I believe Michigan would have to do even better than they did at B1G's to come close. JMO
Exactly, the best way to look at this is weight-by-weight and how each team will do placement and point-wise relative to how they did at B1Gs:
125: Michigan (relatively same) PSU (probably better)
133: Michigan (significantly worse) PSU (relatively same)
141: Michigan (significantly worse) PSU (relatively same)
149: Michigan (significantly worse) PSU (worse)
157: Michigan (significantly worse) PSU (relatively same)
165: Michigan (significantly worse) PSU (same)
174: Michigan (significantly worse) PSU (relatively same)
184: Michigan (relatively same) PSU (relatively same)
197: Michigan (slightly worse) PSU (same)
HWT: Michigan (same) PSU (same)
You must have retired well to be able to cover that bet!
I made lots of predictions about how this season would shake out but DeSanto going ballistic at Nationals is the one that had the worst odds. I’m still somewhat confident tho. Lol
Michigan wrestled great. But they won Big Tens because Micic beat the 14 seed by 2 points, the 13 seed by one point and the 10 seed by one point, at a weight with 7 AQs. That, combined with a MFF advancement, earned him 4th place and 13 team points. I have alot of respect for Micic, but I don’t see anything close to that team point output coming from him at NCAAs this year at 141.
this is an astute point. bracket composition will be so important because the difference between brooks getting 2nd or 3rd could be big. we all wait with baited breath to see if brooks lucks into the other side.
this is totally fair, if not likely. he's wrestling with one arm against the most loaded field in the tournament. making the finals in this bracket would be a tall task for a healthy kem, coming from one of his biggest fans.
Of the three, which fan base will be the most disappointed with their 3rd or lower place team finish? Thoughts?
Hidlay might have something to say about that. Would have much preferred for him to be on the other side of the bracket.
Control their own destiny: if Michigan does then so does Iowa and others. When the seedings come out, Ragusin and the others noted above won’t be seeded where they finished at Big Tens. They might not even wrestle above seed.
you could say the same of PSU but PSU will start the day with 4 #1’s a 2 and a 4. Brady will be seeded lower and expected to wrestle above seed. Bartlett….no expectations but Drew should wrestle above.
I don’t think it matters what Michigan does and thus can’t control their own destiny. There’s just not enough depth at the lower seeds. If we fall, then someone get lucky.
Im with you. I expect to win.
And you laughed at me back in October when I told you Kem wouldn’t be a finalist this year and probably at best finish 4th.
Why you do me this way J?
I feel pretty good that Aaron gets to train with DT in the room to prepare for NCAA'S. The PSU room will have him prepared for Hidlay and Amine. Iron sharpens iron.
Me too. But AB's road got more difficult because of his loss to Amine. Hidlay's a hard out.
Especially when he wrestles with both feet on the outside boundary line. If he wrestles Aaron in the middle, Aaron will get more TD's.
We'll see in about 45 minutes. Myles could be the 2. There was no easy potential semi for 184. Obviously Keckeisen is probably the most preferable but he wrestled Aaron to a 3-2 decision earlier this year and has an insane attack rate (and did take AB down last year)
lol don't take a victory lap because he got hurt. if you told he he had one arm i would have agreed
Lol. Well, I did give you my reasons why I thought it. I said he’d be lucky just to be healthy and him being a. 7th year guy he may no longer be as good as he once was anyway because of being in that room for so long. Full disclosure though, I was told he was struggling with decision to come back so there was that little nugget that led me to make the prediction.
Don’t forget the standard disclaimer that you see with ads promoting a financial plan or investment: “Past performance is no guarantee of future results.” 😁
Remember, no lost team points yet just means he is due.
This same drivel has been predicted the last 3 years and hasn’t come to fruition. Highly unlikely it happens this year.
I agree. It wouldn't matter anyway because the team score isn't going to be that close.
i'll never get fans rooting for a kid to fail off the mat. root against him when he's wrestling, but to hope that desanto has a meltdown is classless. there are bigger things in life than sports.
I'm looking forward to losing a team point when Kerk spikes his headgear after beating Gable.
I think AB beats both Hidlay or Keckheisen. That said, if I had to say who has a better shot at upsetting AB, it’s Keckheisen. He is much more dangerous offensively than Hoagie.
Nobody is rooting for ADS to fail. I actually like watching him wrestle and he seems like a decent kid when his adrenaline is at normal levels. We're only discussing the possibility of him costing Iowa a team point or two. Even you have to admit that the probability of this happening is greater than zero.
be
bet should be who will be the first to lose a point for Iowa... don't forget the coaches...
Since history says Terry can be on the mat touching the official while telling him to call the fall without penalty the chances the Iowa coaches get hit with a team point is nearly zero.
