its deceptively hard to not lapse into purely realistic picks... I will say that I would be more surprised by a PSU shut out than a Michigan victory. However if Michigan drops the first two matches I'm gonna be putting on my PSU hat and cheering for it.

I'm gonna pick it as generously as I possibly can for Michigan... DeAugustino dec Davis (3-0) Ragusin dec Nagao (6-0) Bartlett Dec Lemley (6-3) Gomez Maj Kasak (10-3) Lewan dec Haines (13-3) (in keeping with the super michigan optimism I decided to give them 157 or 174) Amine dec Mesenbrink (16-3) Starocci dec Griffin (16-6) Truax dec Bullock (16-9) Brooks maj Striggow (16-13) Davison dec Kerk (19-13) Ok so, with my finger on the scale at every weight in michigans favor......I'm telling you there's a chance....

yeah but thats obvious, my point is that Iowa wouldn't have many selling points beyond NIL.

the amazing thing about that image is how ferrari's dumbfounded expression make it look like just lost his footing and fell into the splits by accident

Maybe I'm just projecting but there is a stagnant feel to OSU and Iowa. Its not great that my favorite guys in Iowas lineup are all transfers. Also its kind of a sad thought, but if there was no NIL, I think Iowa would be getting less of the transfers than PSU for sure.

Scott Moore was simply annihilating everyone

they also have a pretty specific style, something coaches and athletes from other teams might be getting used to.

thank god i have a spiritual advisor on the forum.

i thought i was going to be cynical about it before watching but that was pretty cool.

fairly obvious vito is hurt, unless you think they held him out for a month because they wanted to duck a guy they needed to avenge a loss against.....

This isn't related but in terms of content Flo is put out a goofy article asking if Vito was going to go down, which he obviously wasn't cause Unger is a title threat, and dropped another article right after that he wasn't going to. Wreaks of floating a rumor just to justify a headline.

yeah fair point, just seems like its policy at Michigan, not a lamentable alternative.

Did anyone else see after Michigan beat PSU at Big tens and Andy Hrovat on social media said basically that other college teams should contract him to teach them how to beat Penn State. I would have liked to think he was being ironic so i wouldn't have to cringe so hard. Anyway between that comment and the fact that Michigan is vacuuming up tranfers while exporting all its international talent, I think its gonna be the first time I'm really cheering for PSU in awhile. I don't actually blame them for the transfer thing, they didn't make the rules, I do think the other part is gross though.

yeah, but I'd say thats a meaningful distinction because a lot of warners wrestling was based around how heavy his hips were.

I'm not a partisan shill like some people, i don't get sad at such things. Some of us are here for the wrestling.

can't like this post enough times, caliendo is my favorite iowa wrestler.

it would be so much more fun if skillings won...

I think he wrestles really hard, is modestly talented and doesn't deserve the "get another takedown" treatment.

yeah i meant i hope all the trump caucusers go to the dual instead.

its not, frankly I don't even know the context for me thinking that. It basically meant, i hope desantis gets nominated, and I wonder who is going to be able to interpret that from this post.

the confusing part is wondering whether I want him to stay in this club or not....

hopefully they'll be a lot of trump voters at the dual

i just mentioned because I had no idea till i wondered into the pinned topic...

When picking this dual, I feel like i'm 149 285 174 133, all seem like great match ups....but I have PSU ptsd so I feel like they'll win em all easily.

Did anyone ever win two NCAA title and a world gold same year? Era where the small school champs went to d1.
