    I think Kharch will make it back finally with a clean bill of health next year. It's been a long road for that dude, he should've got that knee fixed 3 years ago. Sasso I am more skeptical about after hearing him speak and watching him limping around the mat. I'd say about 40/60...

    Two duals this weekend with Md. on Friday @ home and Wisc. Sunday afternoon @ Wisc. Only Wilcox (157) and Geog (197) are facing higher seeds vs. Terps. Against the Badgers the wrestlers vs. higher seeds are McCrone (125) Hepner (165) Welsh (174) and Shumate (184). Go Bucks..we need these two...

    Think I heard the announcer (Matt O'Hara,former wrestler) say Wilcox this season has wrestled 157#,165#,and 174# matches. Guy should be up for team MVP just for controlling his weight that well ! Not to mention he's very competitive every match. Every time I've seen Ed Ruth he's wrestled like...

    Not sure we'll see Feldman. I know it's a gamble sending him on the mat with his knee problem, he probably shouldn't have wrestled last week but his competitive spirit won out. It may be a late decision. Also a real shame to hear Paddy's done for another season. He's not the most talented guy...
  5. Ohio State Wrestling (2015/2017/2018 B1G Champs, 2015 National Champs, 2019 National Runners-up)

    One of the best duals I've ever seen. I watched it with my wife who doesn't know the first thing about wrestling. When she saw Feldman get that double leg in the last 10 secs. to win his match and the dual she went nuts. I asked her who her favorite Buckeye was thinking it would be Feldman but...

    If D'Emilio doesn't use his 6th year of eligibility I see Cannon at 149 in 24-25.
  7. Ohio State Wrestling (2015/2017/2018 B1G Champs, 2015 National Champs, 2019 National Runners-up)

    Unbelievable opening with three straight falls against a highly ranked NCState. But the real hero was Rocco Welsh with a {literally} last second take down to win the match and the duel. Overall a darn good effort by the Bucks today. Only downer is the word that Kharchla's season sounds like...

    D'Emilio looking good in a 11-1 win. And Paddy in a "revenge" match against Downey who beat him at Keen wins 4-1

    Forgot that some of the freshmen + sophs wrestled Saturday at the Mich.St.Open. (freshman/sophomore division). Brock Herman took the title at 149# and Andre Gonzales took 2nd in the 133# division losing a tiebreaker to Michigan's Ragusin 7-6. Vinny Kilkeary took 3rd at 125# and Gavin Brown...

    I agreed with your thoughts on McCrone until his 2nd straight win today as he pinned his opponent from Edinboro St. in 1:05 of 1st period. Of course everyone else in the lineup either pinned or teched in the biggest blowout I've ever witnessed. Well, almost everyone... score was 53-0.
  11. Ohio State Wrestling (2015/2017/2018 B1G Champs, 2015 National Champs, 2019 National Runners-up)

    Yeah I was thinking mismatch for sure at 125, I was right in a way...it WAS a mismatch! McCrone wrestles like that all year it's problem solved.
  12. Ohio State Wrestling (2015/2017/2018 B1G Champs, 2015 National Champs, 2019 National Runners-up)

    Several thoughts...1.whoever lit that fire under McCrone better report to Ryan Day tomorrow because the f.b. Bucks offensive line could use some of that! 2. Bouzakis had a bad weekend last week but he turned it on tonight in the 3rd period and almost upset#4 Latona. I think Nick will be...
  13. Ohio State Wrestling (2015/2017/2018 B1G Champs, 2015 National Champs, 2019 National Runners-up)

    Going up against highly regarded Va.Tech tonight in the first dual of the season... here are the matchups per the OSU site 125 McCrone (OSU) vs.Venestra 133 Bouzakis(OSU) vs Latona 141 Mendez(OSU) vs.Mason 149 D'Emilio (OSU) vs. Henson 157 Gallagher (OSU) vs. Andonian (his hs teammate and one of...
  14. Ohio State Wrestling (2015/2017/2018 B1G Champs, 2015 National Champs, 2019 National Runners-up)

    Last weekend at the Clarion Open the season got underway. Lots of Buckeyes were entered in the tournament and even Sammy Sasso was there to support the guys as an (unofficial) coach. There were some real encouraging signs and a few not as much. #125 looks like it will be a weak spot as the two...
  15. Ohio State Wrestling (2015/2017/2018 B1G Champs, 2015 National Champs, 2019 National Runners-up)

    Speaking of Sammy...he showed up at a practice last week to wish the guys well and someone asked him if he'd be back next season . Don't have the exact quote but in typical Sammy bravado he said something like "I'll be back next year even if I have to wrestle on my knees". Yeah I goofed on the...
