Match Thread: #1 Ohio St vs # 18 Rutgers (Intermat rankings), BTN TV, 12pm

[jerzey devil]

So glad I didn’t pay to go see this. No Gravina or a Mulligan. We are not even trying.

And we have found a troll!!

 

[Abro1975]

133- Pletcher beats Del Vech 4-2, Scott close to tying at end, but just missed the TD.

 

[grapknight1]

133 don’t like we gave up riding time. Other then that this match could go another way next time.

 

[RickB113]

Del wrestled real well. Very close to pulling that match out.

 

[Abro1975]

141- Major by McKenna over MVB. Too bad AA wasn't able to go, that would have been fun to watch.

Agree. It was a great look for Scott.

Agree!!! I had high hopes for MVB this year though. Not sure what’s going on.

 

[Abro1975]

De Luca had him pinned. BS non call !

 

[Abro1975]

DeLuca w a big upset at 149 !!! 12-6 win and should have gotten the Pin call ! 2 beautiful Lateral Drops

OSU leads 26-8

 

[belushijo]

That was awesome by DeLuca

 

[grapknight1]

Nice win 149!!!!!

One of my favs. Loved how he went for it. Glad DeLuca took the chance and went for it.

It was the Haircut.

 

[Abro1975]

Campbell looks a lot bigger than Lewis.

 

[grapknight1]

165 nice win!!!!

 

[Abro1975]

165- Lewis pulls off the minor upset 5-2 !! Awesome !

 

[Abro1975]

Final 29-11 OSU, much better than most expected !

 

[grapknight1]

My take thought we win 125 and 165. 149 a great surprise. Overall 141 and 157 not good. 174 Grello wrestled tough. 184 to Hwt no matter who we put out they win.

Agreed and I thought Del showed well and had a real chance at 133

Abro the diffence in score was 149 never expected 4. Before throw. Looked like 3 for them. Kid was pinned. A 7 point swing.

Agree with this.

I thought on the first throw, DeLuca had him pinned for a good 4 or 5 seconds, how do you now get that call at home ! lol. 2nd throw you could argue he was pinned again, but maybe only for 3 seconds.
Pins are exciting, NCAA wrestling needs to stop shooting itself in the foot.

Forgot about Del. Like I said other then the RT. Match next time could be a toss up.

 

[Abro1975]

Why are some officials so hesitant, scared almost, to call the pin? On Deluca's first throw, it seemed the OSU kid was flat for a good 5 seconds. Almost as bad as not making the stall call when it's obvious. These are 2 points that IMO would make college wrestling more exciting. Face slapping and head butting could be a few more ways.

 

[wngarbarini]

The idiot reffed a terrible match. He did not call the pin twice because the kid was ranked # 5 in the country and OSU is ranked # 2 so their kids should never get pinned. It was tight in front of me at matside and he was dead flat.

How this match not covered on flo :/

 

[grapknight1]

WNG any input on why Mulligan not at 197 today. I can figure out no Gravina at 184.

 

[Abro1975]

How this match not covered on flo :/

I watched it on Flo. Flo simply has bought the streaming rights from BTN. It's a BtN production, streamed on both BtN and Flo wrestling. BTN commentators were good.

 

[RUTrack94]

Prediction 27-9 ... come on RU prove me wrong!

Got the spread right ... 29-11 ... expected 3 wins ... on to the next match!

 

[grapknight1]

How this match not covered on flo :/

BTN had it on live TV!!!!!

 

[Abro1975]

BTN had it on live TV!!!!!

And soon you can watch the replay , wit slo motion, on either BTN2go or Flowrestling.

 

[IsItLuck]

Gravina didn't wrestle to protect his injury from Midlands. No idea about Mulligan, but Goodale isn't one to sit a started during a dual for no apparent reason. Maybe injury as well?

Really? I didn't c this match on their home tab... hopefully it's in the archives then

 

[RutgersAlum]

Perfect example of what is holding back wrestling as a spectator sport. If you treat the season like an exhibition schedule so will fans. Can you imagine Urban Meyer saying go ahead skip the game to go to a friend’s wedding? To many great matches are lost to resting guys or strategic testing of guys to protect seeds.

Hermida had no chance of beating Snyder -Maryland had an empty house.
Kudos to Snyder in gracing us with his presence with a packed house.

My mistake, I watched our RU match on BTN TV while watching another match (w no sound) on Flo.

YES, BUT a Snyder - Hermida matchup would have been the only match of the night with 2 ranked wrestlers. And BTN and Flo were streaming this match all over the world. If you want the regular season to matter more than it currently does, and you want to grow the sport, even a little, from the pay per view sport it is now, featured, matchups between ranked opponents should not be cancelled willy nillly.
