I agree. I don't think Shak will go, nor do I think RBY will go. I think Berge will go. I do not think McKenna is going to go, though.
Penn State vs Ohio State: Let the speculation begin
- Thread starter amalone
- Start date
The dual meet is important, but not as important as what is to follow. Duke/Virginia basketball this Saturday is a big game, but they both will play bigger games before the year is out.
I doubt Cael will risk further injury to RBY or Shak. If they are medically cleared though and feel good I would expect both of them to wrestle. If not, they won't. I assume that will apply to McKenna as well.
Tato talks to Eleven Warriors here about the dual. I'm taking one for the team and listening to it. I feel dirty, but I'll let you know if he says anything notable.
I hope he does. I am interested in if he can shut down MyMars offense. the style diff between him and Cassar showed up when wrestling Moore.
I don't want to turn this into a ducking discussion, but McKenna certainly looked pretty healthy against Storr.
Considering OSU has essentially no shot at winning if McKenna doesn't wrestle, I'll be shocked if he doesn't go.
Sadly the “match of the night” at 197 (1v2) probably won’t be much of a match. The only way to beat Nickal is catch him in a 50/50 (as an expression... they aren’t exactly 50/50s with him)... if he can beat Gabe dean in a conservative style match, I’m not sure anyone else out there has a chance. A full roster and this is a great dual from a team point perspective w/o a ton of individual awesome bouts.
OK--no need to listen to it. Just a big, greasy ad for the program.
FWIW I don’t think anyone ducks and I certainly wasn’t going there. All of these guys wrestle at a much higher level than I ever did and I am not say cowardice got them there.
And if a coach ducks a guy, also doesn’t bother me (except if i went to the dual and bought tickets lol)... coaches job is to get a kid to achieve his goals. Not entertain me.

I’m going on a date with Charlize Theron. I’m worried she might not bring her red-carpet-caliber jewelry. Should I cancel the date?
I think the fine gentlemen on this forum are geniuses (idiot savants?How do you know her carpet is red? Doesn't match the blonde drapes.
) at finding risqué double entendres! I already changed “gown” to “jewelry”, and “wear” to “bring” to try to outsmart you guys. Better luck next time to me![edit: a guy can hardly
talk about barbecue around here before someone interprets it in a risqué way.]

Yes. Every movie with the other half. My friends children. You want more examples?
Any B movies?
Why bother watching Penn St vs Ohio St when you can watch the video from Utah Valley vs Rutgers ??
I was eagerly awaiting Fix vs Joisey Jumper, it finally arrived, I started watching, fell asleep, took a 30 minute snooze, woke up and guess what?? Yep,just finishing up regular time.
At least I got some ZZZZZ’s out of it.
That's refreshingly honest. It's why I stopped going to the RAC for Rutgers matches - and the level of pumped in music.
The music was too loud?? Damn, and I thought my “get off my lawn” level was high..
I've gotten used to no ear-splitting music to "pump up" the fans at Rec Hall and Grace Hall. Those fans don't need pumping up.
I’m guessing hardwood floorHow do you know her carpet is red? Doesn't match the blonde drapes.
Sounds like you answered yourself why ask questions when you know the answer lol
I like your thinking but something tells me this is going to the last match of the night. Which in my opinion brings in who do we start and finish with. If it's me we end with Bo because that's what we do is coming out for the night
It will start with 126 and end with 285. Cael is a traditionalist and, rightfully so, believes matches should start at 126. Ohio State would be silly to start anywhere else as well.
Do you think RBV goes at 132 after the 126 lb start? Thanks
Actually, part of the process is entertainment.
Programs, for the most part, are supported with public funds and tickets are sold to the public. Penn State did not sell $350,000+ of tickets to the public last Friday without entertainment being part of the equation.
The athlete's health is paramount when prioritizing, but entertainment is still a significant consideration.
Fair, but I for one am not going to blame a coach for putting his commitment to the kid above his commitment to me.
PSA: That Go-Jo stuff mechanics use is very good for getting that grease off of you ...
Great. The extra pound will help. Heinselman is undersized and Schnupp can bulk up with one extra pound of muscle
Agreed, no way in hell McKenna misses even if he is at 90%. This dual is tOSUs national championship this year.
Agree too, Joey’s last chance to say he knocked off the KINGS, he’ll go, and he may even bring hell with him.
