Pinnacle

I take Arnold here

Sunday Comics with Jombo should be interesting

I read his lips He said they need more points and Im sure everyone agrees

Oklahoma St has to be able to beat these guys.

Lol. Brands mic broken

I dunno. This isnt very exciting either

Slo mo scramble

Pucino has had 2 clean shots and finished neither.

Pretty close. I go by there on my way to one of my favorite hiking trails in Lenhardtsville.

Rugbypoet, that is more Blantons than my local Pa State Store has offered in one year. Fortunately my neighbor works in NYC and they have plenty. In honor of Iowa I am starting the nite with WhistlePig Straight Rye 12 Year. Coin toss on Blantons or Buchanons Scotch 18 Year for PSU dual with Nebby.

Who cares if CSB at 20 points is better than Fictional Team A at 20 points when neither of them are top 20 teams?

I blame the Duals proponents. If they had come up with better arguments then maybe they'd have convinced more votes to go their way.

The issue I have always had with Duals settling who the best team is that it then becomes match up dependent. Look at Nebraska, they couldn't win 4 matches against UNI but theoretically could win 5 vs Penn State. They could get lucky and pin a guy, then stall the other 5 matches and this is how we are going to crown a championship squad?

Caleb Smith is the bigger 125 and can match Lightening Luke's speed, so physical advantage to Smith. Luke has mad arsenal of attacks. Toss up. Got to like Braeden Davis over Van Dee. As someone else noted, Van Dee has some L's already, so he can drop this one to Davis. Hardy is one of the few current NCAA wrestlers with a win over Bartlett. This could be low scoring and still have the most action of all 5 front side matches. Toss up. Van Ness power and pressure vs Lovett slickness and top game. I think Van Ness is a beast this year, so advantage SVN. Kasak vs Taylor. Kasak is real good on top. Taylor is super quick. Could be a drag to a go behind one TD type of match. Toss up.

Too much sugar in your diet on this one, Truzzcat.

Iowa as some guys that if they wrestle who is on the schedule are going to start taking some Ls. I think the gap they have on OSU is going to narrow.

Ughh. Brain fart. Too much work on my desk and no coffee.

Wrestler A gets 4 Tds Wrestler B gets no Tds but gets 4 escapes They both escape from bottom choice Match is tied Seems to disincentivize earning tds

The result from a team race standpoint is the same. Three or four schools dominate. I will agree that smaller schools are losing guys to bigger more monied programs. Nil is here to stay

Again, how so? It has been 3 or 4 schools for 65 years.

Spot Davis the 4 years he needs to begin to even look like an adult and he wins easy.

How is this different from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s? I recall it was Okie State and Okie for a while, then add in Iowa and ISU. Wasn't it basically 3 or 4 schools back then too?

Chimps.

The season is like many others. Penn State fans are happy and watching to see how far and how excellent the program can get Oklahoma State fans are very excited as they have a brand new energy in their program. Iowa will again draw the most fans, and they have some top notch guys. And the twins gonna scream and jump up and down which is entertaining as always. And fans of all the other programs have their individual storylines and the race to see who can put pressure on Penn State. And Nebraska might even be leading PSU at intermission this Friday night causing some fans to believe PSU is vulnerable. I feel as though there is a lot to like this year

Why I am predicting Gable wins, but at least Greg is in the conversation.
