Penn State vs Ohio State: Let the speculation begin
- Thread starter amalone
- Start date
“220, 221... whatever it takes”.
We all have choices to make. True PSU fans will watch no matter who wrestles or the opponent
I wonder if Schnupp pulls out a victory would Cael be more likely to sit RBY if he is on the fence?
Hey quick question for the group, who calls the shots regarding the starting order for the match? Do both coaches have to agree if the match doesn't start at 125?
if it's the home team coach only I think Ryan starts the match at 141, 149 or even 197 which makes a ton of sense for me. tOSU can avoid Bo and Cassar needing to know exactly how many points they need to take the dual. Both will take unnecessary chances if they have to.

LOL......Mr. Mom is one of the most underrated comedies of all-time!
I believe both coaches have to agree to a weight or a random draw, otherwise it starts at 125. Someone will correct me if I’m wrong.
Ditto. They will make the decision before the dual starts based on RBY's health and what happens in the dual will not change that decision.
I think we all know less people watch the PSU maryland dual than they do the PSU Iowa dual (when it happens)... get off the high horse.
You’re wrong. Nobody will correct you even if you are wrong.
I will correct him but since he's not wrong I don't know why I am even posting this.
I think Mark mixes it up tonight and experience will give us 6. He's due.
I agree. I think Hall will be more aggressive tonight because bonus points from him will most likely be needed. All the other duals, he just needs to win.
Section 8. Determining Wrestling Order
—
Dual Meets
Art. 1.
Protocol.
Immediately after the weigh-in for a dual meet or multiple dual
meets conducted on the same day, coaches may mutually agree to determine the starting weight class for the match(es). If coaches cannot agree on the starting weight class, a random draw shall be conducted to determine which weight class will be wrestled first. Once the first weight class is established, either by agreement or random draw, subsequent matches will continue in the traditional sequence of increasing weight class order.
Just to be clear, Cael nor Tom do not need to agree to a weight or a random draw, which, based on history is what will happen, which means they will start at 125.
Maybe I am misinterpreting what you typed, but I think you are wrong. They BOTH have to agree to start at 125 (or any other weight). If either coach wants a random draw, they draw. I think,
I this instance I don't see Tan Tom agreeing to the traditional start, like it or not, it represents pretty much the worst scenario for tOSU.
we have about 20 PSU vs. tOSU threads on the front page. Any chance we can get an official thread?
Thanks for the correction. That said, I'm surprised so many matches start at 125 with that being the case.
Cael supposedly likes 125 starts, do you want to tell him no? Or ask if he has a plan?
Why start anywhere else? In high school it’s so people stay for heavyweights right?
Since no one really bumps the lineups to win duals in college, is the only advantage a later start for a wrestler trying to make weight?

I know that Cael likes to start at 125. Most of the time I think it makes no difference, but this is one match where I think it could actually potentially make a difference and it might help us to start with a random draw. Starting at 125, they might win the first four matches, giving them momentum and getting the home crowd fired up. Then their upper weight guys would just stall their asses off to avoid bonus points, except Martin of course. Cael probably doesn't care, but I wish he'd go random draw.

Just putting this out there ahead of time. I have trademarked the term TanT(r)om and various derivatives for use in describing less-than-calm behavior from the OSU coaches area this evening.
I do believe we should not be shocked if Schnupp wins. A true freshman, similar in stature and Schnupp has a Lion's heart so well will see.
