You hedged. I manned up and made the pick.

I said I could see him stealing one, isn't that picking him?

Ummm, no, that is not picking him. I could see Grant Gambrall in the NCAA finals. Did I just predict him to be the NCAA champion? No.

I could see you driving your wife nuts.

I'm shocked that KR has let this post stand without a long winded rebuttal about how Molinaro has only given up .98345621 takedowns per match over the last two years.

To the surprise of absolutely nobody, I pick Grajales.

I thought I could at least count on you, Zapp!

Actually, Frank doesn't get taken down that much. If he's on his shutout-mode of wrestling he gets a TD and rides. When he gives up the takedowns is when he tries to get the MD with letting up/TD. He gave up 2 TD's to Ness in match #1 when he was pressing for TD's. In the rematch it was 9-1 and didn't give up any. He also did the same on Friday against Nebraska when pressing for a MD, he gave up a TD in the 3rd period (but still got the MD). He's hard to take down if he's only going for the decision. When he presses for a MD he gets careless.

Note: I hadn't read Jensen's post when I posted this. But now I understand why KR asked me to respond in his place!
