Am I crazy to think we have a chance to win if everything goes perfectly? Wins from 25,41,49,57,65,74,84... anyways, y isn't Pagano listed as a starter at 74??

Yes you are crazy. LOL. I don't believe 149 or 184 will be close. But we shall see, hope I'm wrong.

 

[dollarbill]

Can we send both guys in against Snyder? LOL His display against #3 Nevills on Friday was downright scary. . $$$$

 

[KidDagger]

Hear me out on this one... their 25 pounder has been slumping... its not too crazy if Paetzell gets the upset.. Ashnault needs to win 41 for any shot.. @49 pounds M. Jordan is a hammer but he struggles on bottom... Theobald has a chance to steal this one if we coach this one right... 57-74 for Ohio St. is their soft spot of their lineup and we can win 2/3 of these... Then if Gravina can steal one from Martin... Then if we can hold off the bonus from 33,97,hwt.... maybe we got a shot??? Ok...back to reality...lol

 

[Abro1975]

Did anyone notice this OSU pre match write up w notes? Very impressive site.

It'll be a thumping, most likely. Lots of opportunity for Ohio St to get bonus points. Just hoping to see our guys get after it and get some good matches in.

 

[R U Crazy]

I was thinking we score 10 to 11 points.

I also hope we forfeit 285. What do we have to gain sending out Gross or anyone else against synder?

141
157
174

I am pretty sure Jordan will go neutral against Theobold if he does struggle
maybe steal one at 184 and get one extra win.
125 will be close but the edge has to be to OSU

 

[bigmatt718]

I'd be satisfied if we win 3 matches. I think this is going to be ugly.

 

[Jaroslav Hasek]

Did Giraldo weigh in at 157 again? Anyone know if that's the long term plan for him? I'm guessing that would also mean Lewis at 165 next year?

 

[Jaroslav Hasek]

ew, no, bad. also Gross or Normandia should want to wrestle Snyder. how many people get to say they competed against an Olympic Gold Medalist?

never ever ever do I want to see forfeits, especially not just because an opponent is really good. 1000x no.

Don't forget JVB will be back next year too... Going to be hard for Giraldo to crack the lineup.. maybe 149

I understand that, but i can't remember a bigger mismatch in the limited time i have followed RU Wrestling (10 years)

 

[RutgersRaRa]

"Upstart Rutgers"--WTF was that?

 

[jerzey devil]

Especially since Nevills is basically even with Medberry who is #2

 

[Jaroslav Hasek]

right, and Van Brill, my bad, mental error.

 

[brentx35]

I don't think either will be majored but Ohio State should control both
Matches. Hope for some good Wrestling!

 

[Abro1975]

Pagano going at 174

 

[Abro1975]

The OSU PA announcer is straight from the Michael Buffer school.

 

[Jaroslav Hasek]

I understand that, but i can't remember a bigger mismatch in the limited time i have followed RU Wrestling (10 years)

that is definitely not a good reason to forfeit. I don't understand how you can even think that.

anyway, 285 will not be forfeited, which is good for everyone as we will get to see one of the best American wrestlers ever.

Because it's a chance to wrestle an NCAA and Olympic Champ...Besides...he's not a mauler..he'll crush Gross...But he won't hurt him

 

[Abro1975]

141-end 1st - up 6-0 plus RT. Nice back points.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Hope he gets riding time back up.

 

[Abro1975]

141- end 2nd- AA up 7-0

 

[Abro1975]

141- Final - Ashnault with a 10-1 Major. RU up 4-0

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Nice match by AA.

 

[Jersey Boys]

Ash is starting to hit his stride folks. That was a quality kid he just dominated.

 

[RUTrack94]

1 win down, 9 more wins to go :)

 

[josh1728]

nice opening

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Theo isn't wrestling that bad, he's taking shots, Jordan is just quick.

 

[Jersey Boys]

Theo needs to get composed here. I don't expect the win but want to try and avoid bonus points.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Theo can win this if one of his shots works.

 

[Abro1975]

149- end 1st- Theobold trails 8-3 plus RT on 4 Micah Jordan Take downs. Jordan very quick.

 

[Abro1975]

149-end 2nd - Theo trails 8-3. Looked better on top

 

[RUBand]

Jordan is amazingly quick.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Jordan is just better tonight.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

He gave up the two at the buzzer.

 

[Abro1975]

149 Final - Theobold loses 12-4, gives up the Major at the buzzer. Match tied at 4.
