Hard to disagree with the results and in particular what Davino showed tonight.
What was the score in the Blaze Ayala match earlier this year, out of curiosity?
Sorry in advance but…. it’s late, and I’m too lazy to look it up lol.

Agreed, whoever gets him thursday morning will have a real shot, maybe even a better shot then who would see him Friday night.
Ryan has gone to great lengths to protect Bouzakis' cut. One match per weekend, and starting at a different weight when possible. He has had 7 weigh-ins over the last 12 weeks.
We can only guess how he will do wrestling 5 or more times in a weekend.

Cole Mirasola is the only wrestler who my wife is familiar with. When she sees him on the screen, she knows she gets the remote control next. I looked at her and said Iowa and Ohio State are next - she laughed.
She's a purple belt in BJJ and hates wrestling.
If the teams don't agree it goes to a coin flip and the winner (tOSU) picks the weight to start. Iowa had no say.
Iowa is running its program like we just need 2 or 3 guys from the portal and nationals is ours, and the base buys in to that.
Hard to develop cohesion when your studs are 5th year seniors, one and done.
Hey, what do I know, Texas Tech in football used oil money to buy a damn good team. Slum Lord Bob needs to up his game, 1 million per portal transfer.
That's an amazing stat. And I don't think it's because he's necessarily wrestling poorly, I just think it's a tough weight class and to some smaller extent, his tool bag is limited and other guys have figured him out.
I'm not sure Drake has regressed though the record makes it seem so. He has wrestled the gauntlet with JAX still looming. Drake will not be a pleasant draw in March. He is still really good. 133 is the deepest weight I can remember and they are mostly a bunch of whipper snappers. It is going to be wild at 133 and 141 for a few years.
They’ll always have the Zagreb OpenI took a peek at the Iowa board and most are finally coming to a painful conclusion.
In the end, the Arnold call made no difference, Iowa wasn't stopping that onslaught.
tOSU really has a great team, several of their guys wrestle similar to PSU, great technique and scrambling.
Pre Cael, a team like this would be the clear favorite at nationals.

I’m staying vigilant though and spamming every one of his Twitter posts.
I've seen a few never getting beaten guys get beat at nationals. Nobody is above getting beat end of story. Vega could definitely beat him if he catches mendez in one of his scrambles.
Agree.
The 125 will surprise me a lot if he finishes top 4. Weight management will probably be an issue, and I think he’s got one way to beat guys. Even last night, I feel like Peterson finally figured out after the early 7 point move that you can be aggressive with him without wrestling in a phone booth.
I'm thinking 10-4 but i could be wrong i know its not 8-2 lmfao
Even though it doesn't show it now, we remember and will still give you credit for starting this thread. Thank you for initiating it, and moving a very relevant topic out of a totally unrelated thread.

Sure, Messenbrink can be beaten too. But I predicted Mendez would not get beaten in 3 Nationals before his Sophomore season and right now I am 2 for 2 with one to be determined. I like my chances. We will find out in a month and a half. Oh, and I detest Ohio State and would love for Mendez to lose, but not to someone from OSU.
Has anyone done less with more? I don’t think he’s hit a leg day since being on campus. Forget about filling the A gap at this point
Mesenbrink, Spencer Lee, Gable Steveson. Who are the other two top-5 all timers?

Last year he tore his hip and had surgery after the season. And he's been dealing with something serious all year long he was injured early in the season
No doubt, just look at how “toss up” matches are picked by media. PSU guys need to be a clear favorite to get a head nod from the media, then hodge voting being a consistent back & forth between career performance to upstart/flavor of the month and sprinkle in some “Penn state gets all the glory” you could effectively never pick a Penn State guy
Like last year, for instance.
True it’s a very tough weight class.
But Ayala lost to Fugitt, and tech’ed him last year.
No trophy for you, bob.
And coming out of high school he was considered the greatest Iowa high school athlete of all time
John & Mike Van Brill. Both multiple time Big qualifiers and somehow no Hodge Trophies.Messenbrink, Spencer Lee, Gable Steveson. Who are the other two top-5 all timers?
