Would hate to see Real Woods vs Swiderski now. Two guys going opposite directions. Man Woods looks good lately.

Just had the same thought. The direction these two went after that dual is 180 opposite ways

Pitt will beat us tomorrow if we get the same effort from the guys.

They are big favorites at 133, 141. Were big favorites at 149 and 165, 184 were a favorite, 125, 157, 174, 197, 285 are toss ups.
We get the same effort, Pitt may win going away 7 matches to 3 for us.
Negative Nelly sorry!

Yeah we need something from the 125,133,141. It could easily be 11-0 going into 149. Pitt is solid at the back end so we need wins or close matches there

Given the potential lineup, it could be even worse than usual chalk against Pitt. If we roll out Robinson and Devine I think that we take a step back, and that could be the difference. I felt better about Redding chances until the egg laid tonight. Fuessley has a shot, and I still think that both YB and Sam can come away with wins. If Johnson comes on like he did tonight that would give me a little more confidence. Whew, gonna be a nail-biter.

The last two weights is what makes it nerve racking. It’s sort of similar to the Penn state and Iowa duals. A lot of our best guys are going against their best guys

Ankeny, IA.
Kraisser gets a favorable match up, and Pitts 174 just beat #8 Lautt last night, so Julien may have a tough one.

We’ll need both of those.

Wow, Maybe Frost needs to come up.
I sincerely hope not. No reason to burn another redshirt. . Let Casey finish the year and redshirt next year to build his confidence back.. Frost or whoever can take the 141 spot next year.

Sam will definitely be in this match. Wrestlestat having this at 11-1 Pitzer is a joke.

Pitzer is tall and mat wrestling might be a challenge, but I think Sammy might be better in neutral.

People are underestimating how much Sammy has improved and I am good with that.

It will be interesting. Sam will get to legs and Pitzer will scramble more like a light weight than other typical heavys. Really have no clue how it will play out.
