I have to watch? To grow the sport, I suppose.

How about I stay neutral for all first periods then root against each wrestler with choice in the second period, since he'd be modestly advantaged?

I'm definitely rooting for Pitt. The meltdown on the Iowa board if they somehow lose tonight would be priceless. I'm certainly not counting on that actually happening, but rooting for something and actually predicting it aren't the same thing. LOL.

Pitt over /under on matches won 2 1/2. What are you taking?

If you could guarantee Kueter in the lineup, I'd definitely take the under. Given that he's banged up and they probably won't need his points, it's pretty close to a push. I think Stout can beat Endene. Other than that, there are a couple weights where they could win but it clearly would be an upset (149, 157, 174) but it's probably 50-50 to get just one out of all of those (i.e. if Iowa is an 80% favorite in all three individually, they are only a 51% favorite to sweep all three). If forced, I'd take the under but expect 197 and HWT and think Iowa can hang on to sweep the mildly competitive weights.

Remember, it usually takes us, to destroy the Hawkeyes. This year is slightly different in that Tan Tom actually pulled it off.

I said a few weeks ago I think ohio St is gonna be this years Nebraska. Now they need to do it in March but currently it looks like they're clearly the #2 team

I'll take Nebraska being this years Nebraska. Truly believe they are no where near where they will be in March.

Can there be a push with a 2 1/2 over/under?

Got to root for Pitt. Grew up in Latrobe, wrestling with the brothers of Pitt NCAA champion Ron Schirf. Coolest thing walking in the field house with a giant picture of their brother next to the Perry brothers. How many board members can say that. Spitt or not.
