Strong enough to make them a 2nd place threat.Just wondering how big an advantage is the home mat in Nationals for Michigan?
Some will tell you if Bo doesn't have the chin, it would have been huge. But alas, Bo has been hitting that move since he was 6. Bo neutralized the home mat stuff, by simply taking the chin.Ask tOSU how much the home mat advantage matters at nationals.... LOL.
Agree it shouldn't be enough, but disagree with the rest. Having the Championships in your back yard minimizes travel, and the kids can sleep in their own beds an extra night or two. A long, bus trip would be bad enough, a flight worse, for those arriving in Detroit a couple days prior to the start of the festivities.Strong enough to make them a 2nd place threat.
Actually I don't think the home mat will affect the results much at all. Talent and preparation will be the biggest difference.
Plus, they may have a driver that knows how to avoid the canyon-sized potholes that pepper Detroit these days.Agree it shouldn't be enough, but disagree with the rest.

They have a helicopter?Plus, they may have a driver that knows how to avoid the canyon-sized potholes that pepper Detroit these days.
Detroit IS a pothole.Plus, they may have a driver that knows how to avoid the canyon-sized potholes that pepper Detroit these days.
Can't imagine the Detroit potholes are worse than Omaha, which were unbelievably bad.Plus, they may have a driver that knows how to avoid the canyon-sized potholes that pepper Detroit these days.
And the “other” OSU, too.Ask tOSU how much the home mat advantage matters at nationals.... LOL.
Got my hotel and plane ticket for Detroit. Now all I need are tickets to the show….Detroit has gone through a resurgence, and the downtown area, to the Little Caesar's Arena is nice. There are some areas that are not so good (high crime, etc.), but those are easily avoided by visitors. Looking forward to this trip.
This, Detroit has some really bad spots still, but it’s way way better than it was and has some really nice spots. As for an advantage for Michigan, not very much in my mind. Less travel, family and friends get to attend sure, but other than that? Biggest difference it made for Michigan was probably any influence it had on Amine and Massa coming back for an extra year to wrestle at NCAAs like 30 minutes from Amine’s hometown and like 2 hours from Massa’s. If it’s in St. Louis or wherever do they come back?Detroit has gone through a resurgence, and the downtown area, to the Little Caesar's Arena is nice.

Maybe the PSWC busses can make a pass through 8 mile to see how far it's come. 😁Detroit has gone through a resurgence, and the downtown area, to the Little Caesar's Arena is nice.

You know, it seems like a lot of us are in this boat. We're into the second half of January and just a ton of regulars still don't have tix.Got my hotel and plane ticket for Detroit. Now all I need are tickets to the show….
Could be worse. Imagine naked Uncle there yelling instructions to naked Cousin.
Eh?Well... Detroit is basically Canada anyway
fun fact .... from Detroit, you drive south to enter canadaWell... Detroit is basically Canada anyway
Mmmm...if I had ever been to the Windsor Ballet, I might know that!fun fact .... from Detroit, you drive south to enter canada
Canada most likely would refuse the offer if the US were to gift Canana a couple billion US dollars with the insistence they annex Detroit.Well... Detroit is basically Canada anyway
I have it on good authority that we don't want to lose Jet's Pizza anyway, plus the Henry Ford Museum is amazing. Best we keep it, though as a 90s Bulls fan we can definitely give them the Pistons as an act of goodwill.
Ask PSU how much the home mat advantage mattered in 2011 in Philly and the Burgh in 2019... Oh, wait. 😁Ask tOSU how much the home mat advantage matters at nationals.... LOL.
The University of Michigan remains an outstanding university. ( and I didn’t go there.).If we give them Detroit then we have to make them take Ann Arbor and UM as a package deal. As to UM and Detroit; one is an aging, rusting shell of its glory days and the other is a large city in Michigan.
I’ll second that. Good for Detroit.This, Detroit has some really bad spots still, but it’s way way better than it was and has some really nice spots.

IIRC there was an article posted last year that her son is on the team.
She will never allow her son to step onto a mat with Levi! Tom Ryan has already explained to her how traumatizing it is to watch your son be mauled by one of those damn lions.I wonder if she'll provide commentary about her son getting broken in half by Levi Haines next year.
Maybe she wants her kid to have a Michael Strahan spitter gap?She will never allow her son to step onto a mat with Levi! Tom Ryan has already explained to her how traumatizing it is to watch your son be mauled by one of those damn lions.
