MoveCountermove Posted September 2 Posted September 2 No real rules or guidelines, just thought it might stir some good convo up about guys not on the rosters we cheer for. I figured I’d keep it to currently eligible guys, but it’s more about the discussion and chats either way. As a Michigan fan, this used to be Mendez for me. He was easy to watch wrestle and I liked his style. Over the last year it’s transitioned to Davino. As much as it sucks to watch these guys trash my own team, it’s hard not to appreciate high level, quality wrestling. Anyone else have one? 1

flyingcement Posted September 2 Posted September 2 (edited) Least Favorite Team is probably Penn State but it would change to whoever happened to be the heavy favorite in a given era. Nothing particularly personal - it's more of rooting for underdog stories and smaller programs. Favorite wrestler on Penn State for me is Kasak or Desmond Edited September 2 by flyingcement 1
Lunaticfringe Posted September 2 Posted September 2 Right now it's Penn St with some of the stuff coming out with a couple past wrestlers. Can't say I am mad to see Nagao end the way he did. After starting well with Minnesota and putting out videos of basically god telling him too crap when he was chasing money and status. Serves him well.

nhs67 Posted September 2 Posted September 2 Least favorite team? Wisconsin. Favorite wrestler? Amos. 2 "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me

Love Davino , he was my pick to win 133 before Jax transferred in. I like Feldman too 1

Wisconsin is one of two teams I actively root against and it was Hamiti easily when he was in Madison. I guess by default it's Amos now cause who else would it be on the current roster . . . The other team I strongly dislike is Cornell and it's probably Joy there but I would like to see more of Jude Correa too. 1 Irrationally proud former WPIAL wrestler No Scotland, No Party . . .

Simpleman424 Posted September 2 Posted September 2 Oh boy this is a fantastic topic…and tough. Since there are no Ohioans on the roster I will go with Zepeda…you hate to see anyone get injured but a guy of that caliber especially…you just want to see him recover well. Against anyone except a Buckeye… 2

Truly inspirational, even though he's a Hawkeye, LOL. this take is so bad....complete me guy. Tried to wrestle at 184 when he belonged at 174 for like two years, get bullied by his teammates up to 197 and luckily has a great draw at nationals. He did the right thing for the team after exhausting every other option. You can call me cynical as long as your admit the inverse opinion lacks some context. As far as liking his wrestling....no one does. He's done a bunch of other gross things but i'll leave that aside. "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."

Hammerlock3 Posted September 2 Posted September 2 As far as the topic....I don't really have a least favorite team unless wanting PSU to lose makes them my least favorite, which i don't think it does....after I saw chris perry wrestle anthony valencia I realized I liked him a lot after really disliking him and OSU for a long time. I am meanest to tOSU and loved Stieber(but who cares everyone did). 1 "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."

What did he place at Big 10?
Hammerlock3 Posted September 2 Posted September 2 Just now, BloodRound said: jog my memory on this end? Calling out Carter Starocci every year when he wasn't good enough to get into a bracket with him, letalone make it to him. IMHO he was making the call outs because he knew the match wouldn't happen. Attention seeking grossness. "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."

But thats really just my two cents, I'm not gonna extend this discussion, if anyone thinks my take sucks thats fine.
