Iowa vs Ohio St Dual Predictions

[LoSt]

This is turning into a fun thread, haha

While I'm a big fan of Herkey's homerism I truly believe louden may have eclipsed him. However I'm not sure if louden is that much of a tOSU fan or just has a blinding hatred for Iowa.

Loudins got nothing on me. Mike Evans with the gutsiest performance since Morningstar wrestled to an all american status on one leg! Heflin did nothing the entire match and the stall call was called before he took the shot. Not sure how it looked on TV but I saw the stall call when it happened with my own two eyes.

McD Dec Triggas 3-0 Iowa
Logan Dec Ramos 3-3
Hunter Dec Ballweg 6-3 tOSU
Tessari Dec Kelly 9-3 tOSU
St John Dec Demas 9-6tOSU
Moore Dec Martin 9-9 (I look at this one as being 50/50)
Heflin Dec Evans 12-9 tOSU (50/50)
Lofthouse Dec Courts 12-12 (50/50)
Camp Dec Burak 15-12 tOSU
Telford Dec Capone 15-15

with no majors what would be the criteria to break the tie?

I didn't give any majors out, but I feel like McD is the only Iowa guy who can major tOSU. That being said, I believe the buckeyes have three guys who can major Iowa.

Better work on your projections. When I was a redshirt I correctly predicted that Iowa would have five finalists at nationals and they did.

Lol at your percentages Whippet. Are those facts?

125 McDonough MD Triggas 4-0 Iowa
Triggas has lost to Josh Martinez once and Connor Youtsey twice THIS YEAR. Triggas only has a winning pct of 72%. Matt McDounough has been a national finalist 100% of the times he's been in the tournament. Need I say more?

133 Ramos dec Steibler 7-0 Iowa
Ramos is undefeated in CHA, which is 100%. That includes a win over Jordan Oliver (after he shed the Stalliver). I would call it a major since Ramos has nothing below a MD this season, but Steibler is a returning national champion like Oliver was last year so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

141 Steibler maj Ballweg 7-4 Iowa
Ballweg is wrestling tough this year but this Hunter is very good and will get the bonus.

149 Tessari dec Kelly 7-7 Iowa (criteria)
I like Kellys motor but I'm not picking him until he beats someone good.

157 St. John maj Demas 11-7 Iowa
St. John is on a whole other level and will get the major. There is a 75% chance that Demas will not pull the upset according to Whippet.

165 Moore dec Martin 14-7 Iowa
I'm not a big believer in Nick but I agree with Whippet. The match is at Carver so he will win.

174 Evans dec Heflin 17-7 Iowa
174 will go to Iowa even if Heflin takes the mat. First of all Heflin will probably be a bit rusty. Secondly, Evans would not lose to him even if he wasnt. Evans is a man. Have you seen is stache?

184 Lofthouse dec Courts 20-7 Iowa
Courts has been less than impressive this year. Uncle Luke has done a great job getting Eazy E to open up this year and it could get U G L Y for Kenny. Whippet your 60% chance of Lofthouse winning is too low.

197 Campollatano dec Burak 20-10 Iowa
Andrew is doing great this year and Burak is not. (great fact huh Whippet?)

HWT Telford dec Capone 23-10 Iowa
Telford is good. Capone is not. (thats two facts)


Iowa's loss at fOSU was a fluke last year. This year will be the "shellacing" that Wiltz predicts.

Got two matches wrong but the final score was close. Loudain you've got a lot to learn.

[Herkey#1]

Oh, and Telford didnt deserve to win. If you don't have an offense you leave the other guy an opportunity to win in OT. Where's Erekson when you need him?

[Flop The Nuts]

Herk is on fire while Louden sleeps.

[Herkey#1]

Who can sleep? THE BIG TEN SEASON STARTED AT CARVER!!!, college wrestlings finest venue!!!
