Boring

Chittum looks like he's gassing.

How the hell can you get a guy's leg that high in the air and still fail to take him down? Jamison needs work, jesus.

Taylor disappoints me. He should respond to all reporter's questions through prose, song, or both.

They don't have it on ESPN+. I have ESPN + and it's not on there. It's on ESPN, ESPNU, and ESPN3. I just got in thru ESPN3.

I think OSU has 3 locks to AA: Hamiti, Plott, and Hendrickson. I give Jamison and Amine about 75% chance to AA. I give 50% chance to AA to Fish and Spratley, and 25% or less to Hughes, Young and Surber. I might be selling Surber short, but he's never done that much at NCAAs. The best guess for the placements (if they place) Hamiti, Hendrickson, Plott all finish 3rd. Jamison 6th, Amine 6th, Fish 5th, Spratley 7th, Young 7th, Surber 7th, Hughes 5th. This is all hot air, a lot can change between now and March.

How else, I'd have him working out with the rest of the team. He's an R16 type guy, I think. If he gets the right draw at NCAAs he could place, but at this point I think that's a long shot. I can't imagine him getting coached up a whole lot in the last half of the season. He reminds me of Gfeller, but he's not as good as Gfeller was.

What's the minimum number of matches to get a good RPI for NCAAs? I remember OSU screwed itself over with the Joe Smith/Chandler Rogers thing a few years back. I think Smith beat out Rogers in a ranking match or something and ended up with a terrible seed at NCAAs because he didn't have enough matches at his new weight.

Mr. I Know One Move said all that?

Naw...just went through it again and the brick wasn't thrown at 125. I'm wrong!

I bet NIU threw that one.

They used up their brick in the Spratley match I think. I rewatched the dual last night.

I got the Nittany Lions feasting on the Hawkeyes 26-6. 125 Lilledahl dec Cruz 3-0 133 Ayala dec Davis 3-3 141 Bartlett MD Rhodes 7-3 149 Van Ness dec Parco 10-3 157 Kasak dec Teemer 13-3 165 Messybrink md Caliendo 17-3 174 Haines dec Kennedy 20-3 184 Starocci dec Arnold 23-3 197 Buchanon dec Barr 23-6 HWT Kerk dec Kueter 26-6 Presuming those will be the lineups. Caliendo is wrestling great this year, but MM is next level. Best match will probably be Buchanon/Barr. I think Buchanon's experience will prevail, plus he's been wrestling great. Barr has been wrestling great as well, but he's still a tad unseasoned. This match will tell. I'm not 100% on Haines beating Kennedy.

Maybe he's trying to cut weight to get faster. The only guy who has beaten Gable in college was Cassar, who was a lot smaller and faster than Gable.

That was pretty stupid! Arnold is a damn good wrestler though, he's going to win a title or two by the time he's done in his own right.

Sorry, I guess I'm not really up on the social media type stuff. Who did all that stuff?

Looks like he just turned his hand while holding the 3 fingers out. Pretty cool little optical illusion, actually. I knew Brands was magic!

I didn't know that! My bad. Still, I say take the money when you can take it.

If he can't afford to pay. College isn't free.

I say make hay while the sun is shining. Those boys could have a career ending injury well before finishing an IVY degree, then where would they be without an education OR money? Take the money and concentrate on your education at whatever school you go to. Much respect to the Ivy league for it's principled stance and I understand the value of an education, but from what I understand the NIL money some of the wrestlers get is truly lifechanging. Imagine 4 years of getting good NIL money, you could graduate and go to any school in the Ivy league.

Man was I wrong. OSU showed up to wrestle. Why didn't Ayala wrestle?

When did he do that? I didn't see it.

He's on the way up.

Good call, but don't you think Alirez sitting out last year might make him a little rusty?

Who do you think will beat him?
