All in all, good start to the season.        Discussion Topic: tOSU vs. Virginia: Friday November 13, 2015 (Home) Mark Niemann added to this discussion on November 13, 2015 Great, great night of wrestling. Saw Ben, Britt, Justin, Brian, and perhaps a few others. 125: NATO is legit. I feel he has improved LEAPS AND BOUNDS since his senior year in high school. 133: JDJ guts a win. And it was excellent to see! 141: how fantastic is Mic? Rangy, quick, strong - he's the real deal. National champ this year! Or at least AA. If not that, certainly a round of 16 guy. All in all, I'd be shocked if he doesn't qualify for the NCAAs. 149: Pin't'eem! HUUUUUUGE win for Burcher. 157: I thought Jake was fading hard. Glad he pulled it out in the end. Well done and congrats on the win. 165: I thought for sure, given the previous two matches, Kresevec was going to ride the magic. It did not turn out that way. 174: Holy Strong-Like-Bull! BoJo is JACKED! 184: Kenny "The All-American" Courts looked sharp as he always does. A full seven minutes of an "on" KC leads to a second AA honor. 197: Ohara was in the tussle. Just didn't find a way in the end. 285: sneaky single leg. Nice cradle to put an exclamation mark on the night.        Discussion Topic: tOSU vs. Virginia: Friday November 13, 2015 (Home) Jack Muni added to this discussion on November 13, 2015 Mark, what did you think of the 4-point near fall points? Logan could have ended most of his matches a lot sooner had that rule been in effect. And what a comeback by JDJ. Going into the third, I never thought he would pull it off.        Discussion Topic: tOSU vs. Virginia: Friday November 13, 2015 (Home) Rick Wasmer added to this discussion on November 14, 2015 Great match for the team! I was very impressed with Micah and how fast his shots are. The gramby his opponent pulled off was amazing! It was great to see Jake Ryan get the win. The announcers said that kid beat the 6th ranked guy last weekend so is was a good win for Jake. Great job everyone!        Discussion Topic: tOSU vs. Virginia: Friday November 13, 2015 (Home) Justin Hayes added to this discussion on November 14, 2015 I saw the 4 point NF...how does that work?        Discussion Topic: tOSU vs. Virginia: Friday November 13, 2015 (Home) Gregory Martin added to this discussion on November 14, 2015 2 swipes 2 points 4 swipes 4 points        Discussion Topic: tOSU vs. Virginia: Friday November 13, 2015 (Home) Mark Niemann added to this discussion on November 14, 2015 Jack: I dislike NF4 on principle of change for the sake of change. I saw no need for a tweak in that area. Interestingly, although I'd have to go back and watch the match, I think NF4 at the end of JDJ's match is what put/kept the match out of reach.        Discussion Topic: tOSU vs. Virginia: Friday November 13, 2015 (Home) Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on November 14, 2015 There have been many times early in the season when I have not felt the Bucks looked sharp. Last night, however, was the opposite. Very good first effort. What I liked about last night was seeing guys like Ryan and Burcher look ready. I've had a long running pet peeve about the Bucks not having guys ready to step in and compete. Last night was the opposite. Nice first effort. Micah Jordan is a HUGE 141 and that can make a big difference. If he can maintain his energy level, he's a title contender. Jake Ryan wrestled a terrific match against a quality opponent. This kid has developed beautifully since high school. Courts looked sucked in. He's going to need to work hard to keep his weight under control. Poor Fox Baldwin. He's 9-0 and feeling good about himself. He gets in deep in the first five seconds. Then-BOOM--BoJo goes beast mode.        Discussion Topic: tOSU vs. Virginia: Friday November 13, 2015 (Home) Jack Muni added to this discussion on November 14, 2015 I was impressed with Burcher. He had some stuff and executed it perfectly. That knee pick was Pucillo-like and the reverse cradle I'm sure made Jaggers proud. Also he defended that potential headlock by the Virginia kid. I don't care if he falls behind, if he has that cradle in his repertoire he's always going to be dangerous, isn't that right Joe Heskett?        Discussion Topic: tOSU vs. Virginia: Friday November 13, 2015 (Home) Dwight LeRoy added to this discussion on November 14, 2015 Is Jake Ryan the plan to be the starter for the next 4 years or is tOSU looking at let's say top 20 HS recruit type talent to solidify that weight? Nothing against Jake but I don't see the offense needed to be a AA and score points at the NCAA Championships. I hope I'm wrong. Micah looked good at 141# just like previous poster mentioned. Extremely aggressive and looked to score all the time, I really liked that type of attitude and performance.        Discussion Topic: tOSU vs. Virginia: Friday November 13, 2015 (Home) Justin Hayes added to this discussion on November 14, 2015 Quote from Dwight LeRoy's post: "Is Jake Ryan the plan to be the starter for the next 4 years or is tOSU looking at let's say top 20 HS recruit type talent to solidify that weight?

(Niemann got my KEC attitude squared away, though, "The wounds of a friend...") Kenny, again, I'm sorry. :( Conversely, most of JDJ's match I felt like, well, I was watching Kenny during the regular season last year. It is agonizing watching him drop his head and get his arm woven through the crotch as though he wrestling in the Afton Quadrangular; George is excellent and it just seems that JDJ has his number. I'm fearful, though, that when it comes to NCAAs George is going to flip the script. I love JDJ but those 11th hour frenetic "roll-a-thons" completely unnerve me (barrel, Peterson, granby, pick your poison). I'd feel a lot more comfortable if they were his secondary or tertiary arsenal, instead of his primary. NaTo is the ultimate Battle (Noun). (After some off season consideration on Shep's thoughts, I concluded that "Battle Troll" might be misinterpreted as a dispersion, so I've chosen to tamp it down for the time being...although IMar is still soooo thuggy fresh.) I'm enamored with Micah's treacherous ranginess and crisp execution when his opponent is most vulnerable. He snaps/shucks/snags the (crap)out of his opponent if they are off balance. #HumanSnareTrap Knew nothing about Burcher; attaboy. I thought if I were TR's son, I'd feel an enormous sense of obligation to my dad, not because he is the Coach, but because of his personal wrestling journey (driving to Iowa, walking on, etc.) I stand corrected, M-Rod, as BoJo looked big and powerful, but seemed to me that he could cut a weight class if necessary. (Dad whispered, "That other boy -Fox- would probably just like to get off the mat as soon as possible..." LOL!) I was rooting for Tav; made me happy to see him get the pin. The banners were uber-cool. I stand by my contention: Repeat via Good Providence and sheer guts, not just winning the ones they should...but winning the one they can. Let it be written, let it be so. It seems that if JDJ and Micah can AA, and the Usual Suspects repeat, tOSU is in the mix. Didn't Minnesota win one year without any Champions? Niemann....go!        ► Add to the Discussion Page Previous  1, 2, 3, 4  Next
