Second time posting that to me, yet I have no idea what it is? Looks like an angry seahorse...

It's already been noted. Posted Tuesday at 12:07 PM 125 - Kilkeary/McCrone - Malik is done and Gonzales is too big according to Tom. McCrone (RSFR) was a 15-4 RS and probably gets to go, at the start anyway. No idea how Kilkeary will do, but he's a quality recruit, three timer out of Latrobe and if he's better we know Ryan will start a freshman. 133 - Bouzakis/Gonzales - This will be Bouzakis' (RSFR) weight. He was 11-1 as a RS. Beat #6 Biscoglia(UNI) only loss up at 141 to Crook(VT). U20 WT member. AA 141 - Mendez/D'Emilio - It sounds like Mendez is going to RS and junior D'Emilio will be here. Although if Sasso moves up, D'Emilio might follow. I believe the weight cut for both is a struggle. He was 20-14 last season but came on at the end and finished 8th. AA 149 - Sasso/D'Emilio - What Sasso (SR) does here will decide what happens at 141, 149, 157 and impact 165. I believe Sasso can win at 149(no slight to Lovett who returns from RS). Sammy struggled with the cut early in the season and then looked great when it mattered. He was 29-3. Sasso wins at 149. NC 157 - Sasso/Paddy/Wilcox - If Gallagher (SO) is here I foresee a similar season to last year. He improved towards the end of the season and if he can finish his shots he'll be in a much better position to win those close matches he lost. He lost ten matches by two points or less. If Sasso moves up, Paddy nor Wilcox (JR) may not have a spot. R12 165 - Hepner/Paddy - I believe this is Hepner's (RSSO) spot. Had wins over Kharchla (wrestle off) and Amine (I know, I know coming off an injury) last season. Had some nice wins season before; Mayora, Lamar, Chumbley, Slivka. I like Hepner and I think he surprises a bunch of folks. R12 174 - Kharch - (JR) Weight cut and injuries had Carson hamstrung most of last season. He just wasn't what we expected. I was worried it was HEW and I'm still not 100% convinced. 174 should help make life a bit better for him. Healthy and happy he's back on the podium. AA 184 - Shumate - (RSFR) Seth was a big recruit that many folks have cooled on. He was 12-2 wrestling unattached last season. If Geog stays at 197 I believe this spot belongs to Shumate. NQ 197 - Geog/Hoffman/Stein - Similar to 157/165 someone gets left out. I like Geog (RSFR) and I'm ready to see him as a starter. But there is Hoffman (SR) here as well. I don't see anyway Stein makes the lineup. Talk of Geog dropping to 184 and Hoffman at 197 seems ideal but I'm pretty certain Geog is too big to go down. NQ 285 - Feldman - (RSFR) Buckeye fans have been waiting for Nick for a long time it seems. Injury and then neck surgery held him out of 2023. He's going to be, "small" for a HVY but he's built like an armoire was an U20 WT member, Jr. Hodge trophy winner, number three overall recruit and number one heavyweight recruit in 2022. I believe he'll adjust okay to big guys while hitting some bumps along the way. AA I want to believe OSU will gain the points lost from Smith and Romero and a RS Mendez with Kharch, Bouzakis and Feldman. An AA from D'Emilio and maybe a run from Paddy and/or Geog hopefully get the Buckeyes back on the podium.

Not Demas?

You're the expert here, but I don't see Geog anywhere but 197? Although if I knew anything I'd be rich...

Fixed that for ya.

I wouldn't disagree. So VT and OSU push Iowa out. I like it.

6 AA's

He shot it at like three in the morning, solo. It was on Rofkin. Not free.

Hell if I know? I didn't know I posted that? I don't see anyone on HR posting "bons" breaking news...

He's 55 and short. At some point your ass moves to your belly and your legs shrink. I'm not as beautiful as I used to be either.

Geog beats Shumate.

184...

So they got em' twice...

Bouzakis Shumate Geog Feldman

Yep.

YAHTZEE! Are there some two star motels you can package in and around the Happy Valley?

"Coach" prices...

Folks also think bands decide the tik prices, they don't... FWIW, venues have to be staffed. The prices quoted above for the pre sale are still a cash grab. It would be different (maybe) if those pre sale prices guaranteed best seats in that price range but in my experience you could be sitting next to someone who bought their tiks a couple days before for less money. Pre sale generates, "I don't want to miss out" prices. It's an anxiety buy.

You tell me brother. You have a bead on things.

Ticketbastard won and continues to win. PJ helped pull us out of glam metal. Thankfully. Catchy name. Wonder if Amyl and the Poppers was taken.

The guidos are the folks paying the prices, but I hear what you're screamin'.
