College Wrestling?

[Jesse Jaymes]

Watched a very interesting "motivational" speech of Johnni DiJulius teaching a youth camp. About how kids get "excited" when they get a forfeit at a tournament, or a bye, or someone didn't make weight. Or the #1 seed got pinned in a fluke.

The Desire to Win is Greater than the Desire to Compete.

If you could infuse that on kids today, or even adults......look the F out!

O'Toole will handle Hamiti. A healthy O'Toole.

Arnold holds it to a major at best. A tech wouldn't surprise me. Carter won't even be tested.

I'm guessing Kirk will injury default. I hate this about wrestling. Absolute garbage and everyone does it.

I'll bet you a virtual $5 that KOT vs Hamiti goes to SV and it's a coin flip. I am very high on Dj. Always have been. Under David even more so.

Think he took Messenbrink to 13-11 last year and was leading for a good portion?

Penn St taking some lumps in the semis. Two #1's go down.

My Huskers look real good! They don't often do that on the big stage. Lovett finally showed up against Parco.

Hardy looks like a man on a mission! With Alirez losing Hardy will be the 1 seed at nationals if he takes care of business tonight.

I guess we'll just have to wait a little longer for that much anticipated Starocchi/Arnold match up.

Lillidahl fits the PSU mold. Looks unbeatable.

A few finals predictions.

Lillidahl will major Smith

Byrd over Ayala

Buchanan wins in OT for Iowa's only champ

Gable dominated Kerck and leaves no doubt

Illini....impressive weekend

A couple guys on the Penn State team went to my High School alma mater in Wisconsin. The Mirasola brothers. That's kinda cool.

Starocchi got tested by the youngster from Minnesota.

Would love to be fly on the wall in PSU practice, Cael secret sauce is impressive

We got a decent thread rolling last year around NCAA Finals. Any fans have thoughts so far mid season?
@LostArra ? Looks like you got a decent coaching staff now.....

Watched the big 12 and big 10

Prop bet: will A J Ferrari make it to Nationals or get injured or expelled or arrested beforehand?

He's looked good, but hasn't been pushed by anyone really tough.

That was pretty much my weekend take:

Impressed with Schwab and UNI. Put together a pretty good Dual team. Lots of ranked kids in the 15-29 slots that are scrappy

RE: Okie State- Agree. I think just having DT in the room really sparked things. I am sure there are long time John Smith fans that think it's blaspheme. But....these kids looks scrappy. Cam Amine my LEAST favorite. So boring. But he looked alive finally vs Iowa State.

Being a Levi Haines fan.....I've always liked Hamiti....he scares me come NCAAs. I always get scared and bet AGAINST Penn State at the end of the year. And fully realize they generally OVER PERFORM at that show. And Levi generally goes through a mid year slump and has tight matches. I assumed that was weight cut and confidence. He should have neither of those issues now. If they stay 1, 2 and 3 seed....I put Hamiti over O'Toole in the semis and Hamiti over Levi in the finals. He looks THAT good.

Wyatt was a huge catch. He's fun and exciting to watch. Adds to that team. I've not watched a Gable match yet this season. Kerk is pretty boring for the most part, but I am not sure Wyatt's really been close? But if there is a Black Horse at HWT it's Wyatt. More than a puncher's chance.

Cowboys win the title of Least Amount of Teeth on a team. I was telling and showing my wife. Then another kid popped up missing teeth. Taegen, Plott and one more.

Anyone have a solid pick they'd stick money on at 125? Ramos still undefeated ?

Gabe has looked like the true beast that he is. I dought Wyatt or kerk can pull off beating. My girls went to OSU, so i will be routing for Wyatt.

Ramos got beat . O'toole beat Hamiti today, but a dog fight. I still believe Hamiti is OSU only shot at a champion this year.
