Nebraska @ Oklahoma State 10/13

[Spladle]

Should be some great match ups here. 
 

125 - give me Robinson over either Troy or Zinkin, though I think it’s very close and low scoring either way. 3-0 Neb
 

133 - Forrest by Tech 3-5 OSU 

 

141 - Raney by MD 3-9 OSU 

 

149 - a spitting image of their first two bouts. Ech is close but Vega pulls it out. 3-12 OSU 

 

157 - could see this one getting out of hand for Taylor. He’s very stingy but Robideau should only get better  3-16

 

165 - Shapiro has too much offense but CS is a brawler  6-16 

 

174 - Minto gets it done 9-16 

 

184 - Mikey White puts everyone on notice 9-19 

 

197 - Merrill in a close one, McDanel could steal it though  9-22 

 

285 - Ziola is a dark horse title contender for me when everyone is talking about Keuter, Feldman and Ross. 
 

I’ve got it 22-12 in favor of the Cowboys. 
 

Thoughts?

Please merge with other thread. Did not see that.

Echemendia could easily beat Vega. He's a horrible horrible style match up for him, I say that as a Vega fan.

Define "easily" or maybe you mean like the last two times?

What do you think are the odds of him knocking off vega? I'm saying 30%

In GIA - 10%.

However you could probably get a guarantee from @flyingcement.

Only two ... sounds like a good place to take the over.

The wager for that match may be "Which wrestler loses a team point?"

This is one of those hook bets for FanDuel...deposit $20 and place the wager on this, it's going off at 1.8:1 odds, but the more bets placed on the over, the further the line moves. All your winnings must be recast as bets in the app, however. And...now that you have your CC info in the app and have started betting, we can try to tap into the rewards center of your brain and work on that sweet old addiction!

maybe he gets one right, the second time it's gone. If it starts at 65 he may get the head butt one.  but not the TD when that failed jonesy doesn't stop the tech at 33

Word is he carries 4 red bricks in his back pockets then there's the big red one carried by the assistant coaches.  

I was at Lincoln last year pretty sure there was a stack of them behind the bench.

Agree and think that -- despite the final scores and what ionel says -- those matches could have gone the other way. These matches had a markedly different feel than any of his other matches. Nobody else had a legit chance to take him down ... ever ... esp in the finals. 

(I can see a plausible argument for saying Hardy put him in danger in the semi ... maybe ...)

Anyway, this dual could tell us a lot about the gap between OSU and PSU. My ptsd (I blame Kaid Brock) makes me worry about a StillyBoyz' chimera, but I'm going 7 matches to 3 for the good guys

I almost started a Kaid Brock retrospective after returning to some film of him. I don't know of another D1 wrestler who seemed like he was guaranteed 2 takedowns a match and was so ineffective....I'll put it this way he was the worst wrestler I've seen who so good. I hope we can skip the part where someone skips all the context and calls me a jerk and says kaid brock can beat me up...

Additionally he is probably the most indicative of an OSU wrestler of anyone ever. Had low ankle attacks, elbows, inside trips and throws (harkening back to cross as opposed to Smith), rode a near wrist....Not saying he's the best of course just in terms of style.

But anyway to your last point, I think Cael is screwing up the narrative for his team by being so machiavellian and petty. How do you enforce the gratitude, no pressure, only performance matters message when they hit a kid from a team you've been ducking for the sake of something which isn't separable petty vitriol.  Taylor is winning the PR side, and that will eventually matter.

[jackwebster]

This will be the best dual in GIA this year. Kinda sucks that it's in Nov, but Im sure the place'll be packed.

If something goes wrong, you could get Alan Fried to represent you.

Gimme the cowboys with a clean sweep. Meyer is my second favorite wrestler, but I think the ski takes him to deep waters and runs him down (This is in an effort to revers jinx and get Meyer to major him). Really hoping Troy still needs some time because I would love to see Rocklin against V-rob.
