Watched the vast majority of the Nebraska/Iowa dual and I'm not impressed with Iowa and don't know how they have been ranked #2 all season until their thumping by Penn State. Dual was close all night and the difference was a pin at 197 by #1 Buchanan.

I think we're gonna walk into Carver-Hawkeye in two weeks and beat the ever loving **** out of them.

I was looking at the matchups and I had it 5 to 5 with a possible upset in Nebraska’s favor. They’ve had some injuries but I wasn’t impressed either

I like your style!

I’m sure we’ll have a lead up to it predicting outcomes.

I don't know, it feels like it should be 5-5 if everyone is healthy on both sides, but I also think Angelo has a real shot against Plott. Though if it does go 5-5, I like our chances of getting more bonus.

Expect Ferrari to wrestle with both feet out of bounds most the match.
And it will be a very competitive match. They've rolled around in the past so neither will be surprised by anything. Angelo got off bottom against Carter so I don't see that being an issue. This match will be won on its feet

Oklahoma st in Carver will be unbelievable and like nothing you've ever experienced at a dual. You definitely need to go. By license do you mean concealed carry 🤣
Though he meant he'd be done with learners permit and would have an actual driver's license by then so could drive to Iowa.

I’ll be concealed carry by wearing a long sleeve shirt!

But yeah, i want to see an OSU/Iowa dual there. Hopefully when both are good.

I’ve been wanting to do that for 10 years but also kids have prevented it. Have a 4,6,7 lol. Someday.
I was at about 35 hours when we had our first. Took a break for about 6 months (accident) and it turned out to be costly.

I think I took my check ride at 51 hours.

Had #2 about 18 months after I got my license and haven’t flown left seat since she was born.

I’d really like to go see a dual in Carver!

I might do that in two years! I def will if I current with my license.
I saw a NCAA championship in Carver in the early 90’s. I was living in the Chicago suburbs and my mom and dad came up on a group bus for the championship so I drove over. Too long ago to remember how we did but was pretty cool.

Just looked it up 1991 we was runner up to Iowa.

So @Pennstate1985 -

What does the next 2 weeks look like for our guys? It appears we had incredible stamina in nov and dec which contributed to impressive results and bonus. Then “hell” week occurred sometime in January. Comparing to John smith’s regimen where toward the end of regular season, hyper focus on getting in shape and improving stamina while maintaining weight. What can we expect with DT? This is question following a below average performance against Little Rock and Iowa 2 weeks away.

If he is anything like Cael, then Iowa is not as important to him as it is to the fans. Doesn't mean he doesn't care about beating Iowa, but he is process oriented and March is where you should be peaking. All focus is on that. Yesterday was disappointing I know, but it wasn't a waste if lessons were learned that allows DT to tweak each guy's regimen, be it nutrition or more work in a certain position. Several star PSU guys didn't have a stellar meet against Nebby, but I've learned to count on lessons being learned. For example against Iowa, Barr lost quite a bit of his large tank trying to get off bottom against Buchanan. That's valuable to know so that next time he faces anyone who is great on top, maybe Cael selects neutral or defers. Data points. At nationals, if you are an AA, you will wrestle 5-8 times. January into early February is evaluation time for DT. I would expect in two weeks that OSU will look quite a bit different than they did yesterday.

It will be a big boost of confidence at Nationals if OSU can beat Iowa in two weeks. I see it coming down to bonus.

Case in point. Nick Lee against Jaydin Eierman. Lee got ridden at B1G and lost in the final. When they met at NCAAs, Lee took neutral in the third. One SV inside trip later, he is on TV talking about chopping wood and carrying water.

Cael is a great coach obviously. Most coaches pick neutral the 2nd match if you get ridden in the 1st. The training in the room and the system they wrestle is what makes him a great coach

That is exactly why ducking for seed is stupid. The valuable intel you gain by wrestling a guy is much better than "protecting" your seed.

Thinking about Ferrari vs Plott. I definitely think that is who they'll use if they can, but there's a real chance Minnesota gives them a run for their money and Brands will have to consider using Ferrari against McEnelly to save the dual

I think we have a better chance of seeing Nelson Brands at 84 against Minny than Angelo.

Do social security checks count as NIL?
Today is actually Nelson birthday and he's 26. This is his 7th year RS, covid and a medical. That's actually not very old if you look at the ages of kids who take a mission . Oklahoma st had a 28 year old on the team a few years ago. He did 2 years at Oklahoma st then took a mission then did 5 more years. He graduated college 9 years after HS. Matt Brown Penn st graduated college 7 years after HS as well he took a RS then a 2 year mission and then wrestled for 4 years.

Can argue other weights but you really missed on this one. Script says Ayala announces mid match that he’s transferring to OSU before laying down on the mat and accepting a pin.

I think Spratley majors Cruz
Ayala may major Reece
We really need a major at 141
Has Parco majored anyone this year? Every dual I’ve watched he has won by decision.
Not feeling great about 157 now.
Has Caliendo wrestled Cam before? Assume they did last year.
Has Hamiti ever wrestled Kennedy before?
184 could be tough
I think Luke surprises but Buchanan has been impressive this year.
I think Wyatt gets the pin here.

Hamiti and Kennedy have wrestled twice 2 years ago at 165 . Hamiti won them both but not big don't remember the actual scores but were 2-3 point matches. Nelson will slow Hamiti down with his hand fight and size

184 I feel the same way. It seems like Angelo athleticism could give Plott some fits

I agree on Angelo giving him fits with his athleticism but I think if Plott continues to push his offense, he should win by decision. Angelo doesn’t have the scoring ability or persistence like Keck. I think that is why Plott can’t beat Keck. I think it’s close but Plott wins a close one.
