MATCH THREAD: RU Wrestlers vs MSU, 2pm, BTN TV, lineups :
- Thread starter Abro1975
- Start date
Thanks for the spoiler, LOL, was going to watch right after our match, lol
Sorry, I had them both going at the same time. Some good matches and upsets, worth the watch.
Definitely, the Princeton outdoor match drew 17,000.
Last couple years with only regular home schedule RU was in top 5.
Only about 6-8 programs in all of D1 wrestling draw well.
Phillipsburg HS would rank about 10th in D1, lol, they average about 1,500 for their home bouts.
2 mental mistakes at 125 and 133 and an escape at 165 from a shut out. not bad.
Michigan just spanked Lehigh (though LU was missing 3 starters). not a bad weekend. guys will learn from the mistakes and losses. 2 weigh ins in one weekend after a decent travel time is also good experience.
like the way Razhonn Gross is moving. better and better each time he takes the mat. shaking off that mat rust. nice to see.

I don't have any knowledge of this sport, but I have been watching and going to a couple of matches. This one just seemed so much less interesting to watch because after the first two bouts, the Michigan State guys did not seem to want to do any scoring. I think they scored about seven points in total among them in the last eight weight classes.
With the match in the stadium we'll easily break our all time high in attendance. We'll be top 5 again this year.
Here is the 2014-15 season, RU 6thin the nation in attendance,. I'll look for more current data.
also worth noting that Michigan's 141 Sal Profaci beat Lehigh's All American Randy Cruz.

Thanks. Is there any way a sport like RU wrestling could be close to revenue neutral, or are the travel and payroll just too much to overcome?Here is the 2014-15 season, RU 6thin the nation in attendance,. I'll look for more current data.
First wrestling match I've watched in quite some time. Caught the last 6 or 7 matches. Really enjoyed it. Started as a Phys Ed major & had to take a wrestling course in my freshman year. Think we went 2 two minute periods. Absolutely grueling sport. Collegiate matches were three 3 minute periods. That last one was a killer to say the least. Liked all our guys, but Gravina & Corrente caught my attention. Gravina has a streak.
watched this on twitter and some video while flying.
We were #6 in average attendance 2014/15, then #5 in 2015/16. With Princeton match, we might be 4th or 3rd. we are a solid 2500+ at last few matches.
Today we won 7 matches, with 125 winning until stuck and 165 a 1-0 match. Easily could have had 9-1 today. Good learning lesson for Brandon. He loves being out there. He loves competing.
Theo is looking like he wants this and wants to be out there. Platooning lit a fire in him.

Also, today is Coach Goodale's and Coach Leonardis' "Bacardi 151" victory @ RU together. A great measure of stability and mutual commitment.

Agree, cant see RU finishing lower than 4th in attendance. Iowa will be one again, PSU will be two, I think RU with the stadium match will be 3. I think we will beat out Ok State for 3rd, they had Iowa at home but only drew about 7,500.
Also agree Theo looks great.
C'mon Man ! LOL !
Balance of Schedule :
Feb 5- Home vs Indiana
Feb 6- Away vs Ohio St
Feb 12- Home vs Northwestern
March 4 & 5--- BIG 10 Championships at Indiana U
March 16-18- NCAA Championships in St. Louis !!!!!!!
Theo and Gravina are red hot and are wrestlers I wouldnt want to face. Pagano has to have the inside track to start at 174 next year, and Correnti/Gross continue to get better. As for Paetzall, shit happens when you have true freshman in the lineup. He will learn from this and get better. Let's take down the Hoosiers on SB Sunday now.
