[RawDog]

Lilledahl Dec cruz

Ayala Dec Davis

Bartlett Maj dec block

SVN Dec parco

Teemer Dec kasak

Caliendo Dec messenbrick

Haines Dec Kennedy 

Starocci Dec Ferrari 

Buchanan Dec Barr

Kerk Dec keuter

Penn State wins over Iowa 19-12 and most surprisingly Bartlett is the only wrestler on either team to score bonus. I bet that's never happened before.

All past participants. Where you guys at?

Trying not to think about this dual.

125:  Lilledahl DEC Cruz

133:  Ayala DEC Davis (Davis TF Hernandez if Ayala sits)

141:  Bartlett DEC Block

149:  Van Ness DEC parco

157:  Teemer DEC Kasak (hooboy...)

165:  Messenbrink MDEC Caliendo

174:  Haines DEC Kennedy

184:  Starocci DEC Arnold

197:  Buuchanon DEC Barr

285:  Kerk DEC Kueter

Penn State 22-9 (if Ayala wrestles)

Penn State 27-6 (if Ayala does not)

[666]

I've noticed nearly everybody is picking Ayala, including myself. I wouldn't actually be surprised if Davis won. Have to figure Cael has been working on that one. Brands are good with little guys though.

I will give my predictions next Tuesday or Wednesday. Maybe even the week after. I'm much better Predicting the past than the future. That way I'm pretty sure I am at least 40% accurate...

[meZYNbrink]

Lilledahl MD

Ayala D

Bartlett D

SVN D

Teemer D (toss up)

Mezynbrink MD 

Levi MD

Starroci WBGP (win by grave pissing)

Buchanan D

Kerkvliet D

PSU 25 - UI 9

Feel like I took too many close matches and there are bound to be crazier things happen.

That's fine, but it has to be from memory with exact scores and times scores occurred. A proctor will be provided.

How would you say the officials will score a WBGP? 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 team points

[bnwtwg]

@Wrestleknownothing may I please change 197 to Buchanan, thanks!

Match termination so a minimum of 5 team points but refs may issue unsportsmanlike conduct deductions

He seems to have improved, but that would be a crazy turnaround from last year...I don't see it.

I like these projections and a very similar final score. Only change for me would be swapping SVN and Kasak.  I think Kasak beats Teemer coming off an injury recently, and SVN comes up just short against Parco.

Fine, I'll play.

125: Lilledahl dec Cruz. 3-0. PSU. This could be an MD if Cruz is aggressive. If you try to turn it into a 7 minute match as opposed to a 30 second match with Luke Lilledahl, you're playing with fire. 

133: Ayala dec Davis. 3-3.

141: Bartlett MD Block. 7-3 PSU.

149: SVN dec Parco. 10-3 PSU.

157: Teemer dec Kasak. 10-6 PSU.

165: Mesenbrink MD Caliendo. 14-6 PSU.

174: Haines dec Kennedy. 17-6 PSU.

184: Starocci dec Whoever. 20-6 PSU.

197: Barr dec Buchanan. 23-6 PSU.

285: Kerkvliet MD Kueter. 27-6 PSU.

I could see Kasak winning, and Barr losing. Hell, even Davis could win, and I wouldn't be shocked. He's an underdog but not outclassed at all. If he can avoid a first period slide-by he'll be in the match. 

 

[Nittanychris]

125: Lilledahl dec Cruz. 3-0. PSU

133: Ayala dec Davis. 3-3

141: Bartlett MD Block. 7-3 PSU

149: SVN dec Parco. 10-3 PSU

157: Kasak Dec Teemer. 13-3 PSU

165: Mesenbrink MD Caliendo. 17-3 PSU

174: Haines dec Kennedy. 20-3 PSU

184: Starocci MD Arnold. 24- 3 PSU

197: Buchanan Dec Barr.  24-6 PSU

285: Kerkvliet dec Kueter. 27-6 PSU

Bonus Fantasy Finale: Cael pins both Brands Bros simultaneously in a 1 vs 2 matchup.

[Ragu]

125: Lilledahl dec Cruz 3-0 PSU

133: Ayala dec Davis 3-3

141: Bartlett dec Block 6-3 PSU

149: Parco dec SVN 6-6 

157: Teemer dec Kasak 9-6 Iowa

165: Mesenbrink tech Caliendo 11-9 PSU

174: Haines pin Kennedy 17-9

184: Starocci dec Arnold 20-9

197: Buchanan Dec Barr 20-12

285: Kerkvliet maj Kueter 24-12

Coinflip matches are 133, 149, and 197. I can also see Kasak winning but not ready to say 50/50. Even with the coins landing Iowa side up every weight listed they still lose because of bonus point power
