IOWA WEEK!

[AgSurfer]

I saw that on FB just few minutes ago. Are your initials MS by any chance??

That's me. Do we know each other?

 

[HikeNatParks]

-Can Luke avenge a loss?
-Can a true frosh beat a two-time national runnerup?
-Can versatile handyman Braeden patch another weight class repair?
-Can SVN & Duke defeat length with strength?
-Can MM turn Mikey?
-Can Levi draw his bow and arrow?
-Can Rocco take down Ferrari?
-Can Josh beat a new dad?
-Can the CHA upset belong to Cole?

Amazing that it’s not too farfetched to think all answers can be yes.
Is it Friday yet?

Agreed... I see Mitch still improving and his attacks are becoming more diverse... I really dont know that I see how Caliendo would score on Mitch with enough consistency to erase what Mitch will bring. I think defensively caliendo can slow the onslaught for a little but no enough offense to give himself a realistic chance at a victory

they will both represent the US well internationally

To hit on two topics in this thread: I don’t think Iowa has any good answers post TnT, certainly not from their tree. No one is worried about Spencer Lee as a head coach, I’d offer Gilman before that route. Playing field will definitely level after Cael but I think our guy should and will be Dake. Maniacal winner, enjoys helping others, has an aura and probably the only thing that keeps DT up at night despite being bffffs.

Just my opinion I'm think Kemmerer is getting the experience he needs to at sometime take a head coaching position. He is low profile but i can see him being successful as a head coach.

Talking about potential coaches in the future. When Cael decides to retire, Does Cody and/or Casey have interest in becoming Head Coach at PSU or another program??

Psu
4-5 bonus wins. Haines and mesenbrink jumped yet another level.

Those two could easily be bonus wins ... I felt like Levi for sure could be
I also feel like PJ could be if VV goes
if Arnold goes... this may be close early and then Barr gases him and pulls away for a maj dec

I think Duke will slaughter either of the 157 lb. guys Iowa can put out there. His pace may kill poor Williams if it is him.

I have the feeling that Caliendo is going to beat MM at some point this season. Let's see if I am correct or a total moron.

Mitch has been more aggressive looking for pins this year. The only way I see Mikey having a chance is Mitch getting sloppy there, and Mikey pouncing on an opportunity.

 

[Pointingdogsrule]

There are some great early BIG 10 tests for us here:
125 #2 Luke dec #6 Dean Peterson (luke gets his revenge) 3-0 PSU
133 #4 Marcus dec # 8 Drake Ayala (this will be a close one) 6-0 PSU
141 #7 Scooter dec #10 Nasir Bailey (his first big test at 141) 9-0 PSU
149 #1 SVN dec #12 Ryder Block (SVN will win it late) 12-0 PSU
157 #4 PJ maj dec Victor Vonivich (will dec if Williams) 15-0 PSU
165 #1 Mitch dec over #3 Mikey Caliendo (will pull away in 3rd) 18-0 PSU
174 #1 Levi dec over # 3 Patrick Kennedy (close to maj dec) 21-0 PSU
184 #4 Rocco drops one in SV to #1 Angelo Ferrari 21-3 PSU
197 #1 Barr dec #3 Massamo Endene (if Arnold maj dec) 24-3 PSU
HVY #12 Cole drops a 7-2 dec to # 5 Ben Kueter 24-6 PSU

Worst case scenario 18- 12
Best case scenario Rocco and Cole pull off a victory and we shut them out 30-0 (i dont think a shutout is likely as we peak in March)
I am confident that Rocco can win this one but he will see Angelo now and learn and beat Angelo in the post season when it counts regardless of the outcome Friday
so realistically 24-6 maybe 21-9

last night I had those exact thoughts for my KYPSW picks. Lots of decisions.

No, it is Wednesday afternoon at 1 p.m. ET.

I think Brands might talk today but trying to confim that with a colleague at our Iowa site.

Brands does indeed talk this afternoon. Updates to come once the video of it is up.

what about Nolf? he could build a great staff as well

Nolf, I think, will be a great coach if he ever decides to go that route. His creativity and ingenuity along with his incredible work ethic, devotion, and leadership will serve him VERY well. I hope that's not in an opposing teams corner.
