Very tough match up not in our favor. We will need our total A game to win this.

I expect a few back ups for MN

 

[RUCrackers]

I expect a few back ups for MN

You think they would risk their ranking close to Big 10s with backups?

 

[KidDagger]

Why

 

[biochemist01]

I expect a few back ups for MN

Looking at their last few duals it seems that they will probably roll out all the starters save someone being dinged up.

 

[bigmatt718]

I'd love to see it but pulling a road upset at Minnesota seems like a bridge too far IMO. We will win out the rest of the dual season outside of that Minnesota dual though.

We gotta focus on the process and not the results… long as we wrestle w enthusiasm, hard, and have fun then wins and losses don’t matter… at least this is what Cael and Messenrbink always say in their interviews… we need to hire the same sports psychologist they got over there.

We been wrestling really well since Ohio state.. gotta keep that momentum rolling.

 

[RUCrackers]

I think we faired better against Penn State than Iowa did.

Mitchell's father instilled that with him. Though, yeah, I'm sure PSU has a legit sports psychologist on top of having Cael, staff and RTC.

They truly humbled Iowa last night. Those ASU guys looked terrified.

Not counting Ayala, Buchanon and Ferrari, it seriously looked like RU put up a better fight against PSU, other than the Poz match. .

[LetsGoRUwrestling]

It is Minnesota Senior Day...If match is clinched for Gophers then we might see some back ups

 

[LetsGoRUwrestling]

Who's Going to get that Big upset today? Some Great opportunities...Lets Go RU!

 

[uncle jim 62]

Mn. doesn't have many sr. wrestlers that aren't starters. I believe they have 2. 1 at 149 and 1 @ 157. Could be more? Should be some good matches but Mn. has a nice dual team.

 

[biochemist01]

Looking at the probables I would say that RU has a chance of wins at 125, 133, 141, 149, and 174. I don't really see it happening for RU at 157, 165, 184, 197, and HWT. Hope those guys can keep their bouts close. I'll go Minnesota wins 26-9.

Love the aggression by Clark

 

[SCNJ]

Great start by Clark. Probably need bonus to have a chance. Gotta figure Gable is going to get at least 4 or 5 on his own.

 

[MS-RU]

Great win by Clark. Got in his offense early and it paid off.

 

[Bobbynieds]

I was wondering should Harer should choose Top.
That is his best position.
He has struggled from the bottom.
Cant remember when an opponent choose down against him (I assumed Kasak did)

that was a great move after he got double legged in the 1st

 

[koleszar]

Askey has ridden parallel the entire period but warning red. Got it.

Clark match our guy shoots 8 to 1 but no stalling. Yeah good officiating.

 

[SCNJ]

Askey has ridden parallel the entire period but warning red. Got it.

I think they both got a warning

 

[mandfense]

Was surprised Harer went neutral as well

 

[SCNJ]

Harer is gonna be a good one. Just right now it’s 18 year old strength vs 23 year old strength.

 

[SCNJ]

Was surprised Harer went neutral as well

Harer went bottom. Askey went neutral.

 

[koleszar]

Was surprised Harer went neutral as well

I thought we chose down as they deferred in the 2nd then they chose neutral in 3rd?

 

[mandfense]

Harer went bottom. Askey went neutral.

My mistake.

 

[Bobbynieds]

Harer seems to have gotten better since the start
Hanging tough with AA's
I like his size and length at this weight.
Look forward to watching him the next 4 years

 

[biochemist01]

Harer went bottom. Askey went neutral.

Correct

 

[koleszar]

White in survival mode. More interested in fixing his headgear than defending the shot.

Minnesota always looks so much bigger than us. It's almost like they put on 10 to 15 lbs after weigh ins.

 

[ScottRU93]

Just don’t need to see White. Its same story with this guy over and over.

 

[MS-RU]

Stop me if you heard this before but we need a different option at 165…it’s not even competitive.

 

[koleszar]

It looks like a 174 lber wrestling a 157 lber. Like one guy lived in the gym and the other guy went for a run.

 

[ScottRU93]

Stop me if you heard this before but we need a different option at 165…

My least favorite wrestler. Barbosa should have been guy from Day 1. Mistake by Goodale at that weight class.

The crazy thing is White is a workhorse. I don’t know how he hasn’t gotten much better since his red shirt year. Just constantly out muscled.

 

[SCNJ]

My least favorite wrestler. Barbosa should have been guy from Day 1. Mistake by Goodale at that weight class.

At this point I’m just assuming they’re going to preserve Barbosa’s redshirt and he’ll be the guy next year and moving forward.

I’d rather give Ford or Gayer opportunities at this point.

 

[80RU]

I’m on the road - can somebody post match scores?

 

[SCNJ]

Are we challenging for illegal slam? Whiting left his feet

 

[koleszar]

Turley really did nothing the whole match until way too late, dissevered to lose.
