The G.O.A.T.
I've never heard of 'BEG Wrestling', but they are claiming Blaze to PSU. I'm not buying it, so hopefully one of you that hears more can say it ain't so also.

No one else is reporting it...
Meanwhile @ the MSU Open.
OSU 165 Hepner in final against Gilcher. Herman 157 will get Fish to wrestle for third.
Ohio University with three in the finals, Kellar 157. Thompson at 174 and Greer at 285...
Herman beats Fish. Will wrestle for third. Gets Saldate again.
Saldate too much for Herman this time, wins 9-3. Herman faded badly end of the third against Fish. Herman is a viable option at 57.
Hepner BY MFF...
OU - Kellar beats Lovett. Thompson loses in SV. Greer loses 2-0.

Don't know of that source, but sounding like PSU unless he's building up hype to pick us. Not surprising to me, but would be really disappointing regardless. We'll see though.
Wish I had better news, but I don't see us winning this one unfortunately. Will rejoice if I'm wrong though.

Can't wait for Sammy to run out and take the mat. Unfortunately I can't watch it, but I am sure there will be media footage that comes out from it.

Decision day is tomorrow. Hope for the best but expect the worst is my best advice. For the love of the lord of wrestling, please let it be us.

Sammy Sasso to Return For Ohio State’s Season Opener Against Chattanooga
Fourteen months after suffering severe nerve damage from a gunshot wound, wrestler Sammy Sasso will return to Ohio State’s lineup for its season opener against Chattanooga.
He's called The Savage for a reason.
On Aug. 18, 2023, Sammy Sasso suffered a gunshot wound that almost left him paraplegic. Fourteen months later, the four-time All-American and two-time Big Ten champion will be back on the mat when No. 6 Ohio State hosts Chattanooga in its 2024-25 season opener on Nov. 14.
Sasso's return to form is a near-miracle, head coach Tom Ryan told Eleven Warriors in February. The Nazareth, Pennsylvania, native sustained severe nerve damage in the shooting near Ohio State's campus and required an emergency procedure to reconstruct his colon. He then underwent extensive physical therapy to learn how to walk again — let alone how to wrestle.
"We didn't know what to expect. He had major surgeries on his intestines. He had surgery on his back," Ryan said. "The fact that he's wrestling is not really a surprise because of his will and his love to wrestle. I know that he told the surgeon, "If I have to wrestle with one leg, I'm gonna wrestle again.' There's a determination there that nothing will get in the way of."
While Sasso earned his accolades as Ohio State's 149-pound wrestler, the Buckeyes planned on moving him to 157 last season. Those plans appeared to have changed ahead of the season opener, during which Sasso will start at 165. Surrounding him will be No. 11 Brendan McCrone (125), No. 18 Nic Bouzakis (133), No. 2 Jesse Mendez (141), No. 11 Dylan D'Emilio (149), No. 10 Paddy Gallagher (157), No. 15 Bryce Hepner (174), No. 17 Ryder Rogotzke (184), No. 11 Luke Geog (197) and No. 3 Nick Feldman (HWT).

Blaze to PSU, crap. I knew this one was over but didn't want to believe it. Well, readjust expectations. We are not winning a title in the next 4 years and nobody is, so enjoy the individual performances and hope to place as high as we can. PSU is going to win the title for the foreseeable future like always. Nobody is going to win a title except PSU until Cael retires, so in other words the sport has become very boring if you care about the title alone.

Sammy Sasso Makes Triumphant Return to Ohio State Wrestling With Victory in First Match Back After 2023 Shooting
In his first match back after suffering severe nerve damage in an August 2023 shooting, Ohio State wrestler Sammy Sasso earned a 12-6 win over Chattanooga’s Jackson Hurst.
Sammy Sasso Makes Triumphant Return to Ohio State Wrestling With Victory in First Match Back After 2023 Shooting
Sammy Sasso is back.
In his first match back nearly 15 months after he suffered severe nerve damage in an August 2023 shooting, the four-time All-American earned a 12-6 win over Chattanooga’s Jackson Hurst in Ohio State’s first dual of the season at the Covelli Center.
After drawing a big ovation from the home crowd on his way to the mat, Sasso scored three takedowns in the first period to race out to a 9-4 lead. He extended his lead to 11-4 with a reversal early in the second period after starting on bottom, ultimately entering the third period with an 11-5 advantage. Hurst scored the first point of the third period on an escape, but Sasso controlled the rest of the match from there to secure a six-point victory and get his hand raised for the first time in more than 600 days.

Hopefully this transfers from the teams site okay - looks like Bouzakis at 133 over Davino to start. Hopefully Hepner is okay and it was precautionary?

It comes out well, thanks for posting this. I went through the OSU official site and it matches up directly. I am going to do quick bullet points on short time:
- Sasso returning to the mat indeed teared me up, but in a good way. Just so happy he got to return to the sport he loves and fights for. Be prepared that is not going to be the same Sasso as in the past though, the collateral damage of the shooting is going to prevent that. But I want him out on the mat and will cheer him on no matter what.
- Bouzakis and Mendez whooped two ranked opponents. Very good work by those two, hopefully that becomes a deadly 1-2 punch like we thought it would be when they came in.
- Part of it is level of competition, but seems like everyone handled their business and won by what should be expected with extra points in most matches. Exception being Paddy, who I have lost a lot of faith in turning into what we thought he would be here...could be due to injuries, but either way I don't see an AA at his weight.
Nice opening win though. On to the next one.
