Greetings All - It is great to have a good home to kick our feet up.

I have a good one for us, as the title indicates.

Penn State VS <Insert Your Team Here>

The lineup from your team can be of your choosing (from this season, obviously), keep it what would be nominal or realistic please.

Choose your starting weight and venue.

The Penn State lineup should be from this (ST indicates expected starter... $HlT happens though), also be nominal/realistic and not conveniently choose a weaker lineup, please:

125 - Howard (ST), Steen, Shunk

133 - Bravo-Young (ST)

141 - Bartlett (ST), Levine

149 - Van Ness (ST), Levine, Berraclough

157 - Berraclough (ST), J. Lee, M. Lee, L. Haines

165 - Facundo (ST), M. Lee, J. Lee, L. Haines

174 - Starocci (ST)

184 - Brooks (ST)

197 - Dean (ST)

285 - Kerkvliet (ST), Nevills

Good hunting, all.

I will go with one of my teams, the University of Michigan.  This match happens this season AT Penn State.  The dual starts at 125.

125

Medley (UoM) VS Howard (PSU)

I think we are going to see a Medley that is much improved, after a season behind Suriano.  I also don't see a reason to believe Howard has jumped levels.  The match was a one takedown match before.  I think it will be that again, but in the other direction, and not going in to OT.  3-1, 4-2 style match in favor of Medley.  I wouldn't be surprised to see an additional riding time point tacked on there, too.

UoM 3 - PSU 0

133

Ragusin (UofM) VS Bravo-Young (PSU)

Word out of the room is that Ragusin has jumped levels.  Will it be enough?  No.  Will it keep it closer than 7/8 point losses like prior?  Yes.  RBY will win the TD battle 3-0 and the final score will be 7-3 with no riding time advantage either way.

Tied 3 - 3

141

Mattin (UofM) VS Bartlett (PSU)

I think by the time this match rolls around Mattin will have established himself as the clear frontrunner for Michigan.  That said, this is going to always be a difficult matchup fot him.  Bartlett is faster and a better wrestler, which will likely prevent Mattin from being able to grind away.  I expect a comfortable 6-4, 8-5 style match, in which the match is never in doubt even if the score is close.

PSU 6 - UofM 3

149

Lamer (UofM) VS Van Ness (PSU)

Here is a scary possible match.  I expect both to have jumped levels.  Neither will gas the other.  This is probably my most difficult match to call.  I am going homer here and calling a 12-10 OT match win for Lamer.

Tied 6 - 6

157

Lewan (UofM) VS J. Lee (PSU)

I was a beluever in Berraclaugh last season and he never separated himself or provrd himself.  I expect that this season, too.  Coin flip told me Joe Lee.  Lewan will be winning in his typical fashion then Lee will try a couple desparate things late, though, and los 8-3.

UofM 9 - PSU 6

165

Amine (UofM) VS Facundo (PSU)

This match goes in to OT at 4-4 in which Facundo had 2 takedowns and Amine had riding time.  Facundo gets the TD in OT.

Tied 9 - 9

174

Walker (UofM) VS Starocci (PSU)

Walker is tough, just not on the level of Starocci.  He will keep it from bonus, buy it won't be close.  8-2, 10-3 type match.

PSU 12 - UofM 9

184

Finesilver (UofM) VS Brooks (PSU)

Finesilver may win some matches using his much improved neutral game, but Brooks is just much better in every facet of the game here.  13-3, 15-5 type wide Major.

PSU 16 - UofM 9

197

Striggow (UofM) - Dean (PSU)

I was hoping to see Bullock give it a go, but the word is that he is under 184 as of now... wrong way to go.  In either case, Dean wins via Technical Fall.

PSU 21 - UofM 9

Parris (UofM) - Nevills (PSU)

With the dual in hand, and Parris, now healthy and hungrier than ever, having BLAZED a path through everyone by now, Sanderson throws Nevills out there - indicating Kerk is on a pitch count.  Rather easy, workmanlike Major 16-5.  After the match he points at Kerkvliet.

PSU 21 - UofM 13

Does anyone else other than myself think that brooks and dean could swap weight classes AND give PSU a shot at the all time points record at the ncaa tourney? 

What would the pt. diff be if they switch and repeat?

No.  Dean's greatest asset at 97 is his gas tank and pulling ahead in the 3rd period against the bigger fellas. At 84 I think his ceiling is 3rd place with many others that can knock him down a few pegs 

I Don't Agree With What I Posted

I don’t know. I just can’t see him repeating that awesome run he had last year. So many moments it seemed it could go either way. Maybe he could at 84? I don’t know, maybe

brooks killing both 84 and 97 with no problem though. Mostly because he is from Maryland lol

I was honestly thinking 5 individual titles with the switch but 4 without. Won’t be routing for that or anything but mainly fearing that

Another year at PSU makes Dean my favorite. Best room in the country from 174 through 285. I'd love to see Bastida blow everyone up though.

If ASU is trailing by 10 going into heavyweight, does Zeke Jones go back to his playbook and pull Schultz while he is standing matside with his headgear on?

I'm seldom shocked by anything related to college wrestling.  However I was shocked that theOpenmat.com and the TheMat have and are going to be shutting down their wrestling forums.  Not so much theOpenmat.com.  That place has been comatose for a very long time, i.e., very little sign of life.

As to Van Ness beating Parco.  Sure it could happen.  I'll give you that.  But Arizona State and Penn State aren't scheduled to face each other this season.  And those two teams are not going to be in the same tournaments this season.   So the only way those two guys could face each other this season would be at the NCAA tournament.

I think Brooks is going to Major, or better, on everyone not PK or TH this season.
