Bold Predictions

[Inspiteofourselves]

We are at the 1/2 way point in the season. Let's here some bold predictions.

My first bold prediction is, Patrick Kennedy reaches the podium at 174.

Iowa brings home a team trophy.

Drake Ayala is a national finalist.

 

[TSNPS]

Glazier AA

 

[AFHawk86]

F*n State loses their entire starting lineup to a contagious skin disease right before NCAAs and Iowa takes their 25th team title.

 

[Redm18]

125 Somewhere between 1 and 6 on the podium
133 Blood Round
141 First NCAA Champ not named Lee in the last half decade or so
149 Blood Round
157 Somewhere between 1-4
165 Somewhere between 4-7
174 Somwhere between 5-8
184 Black Hole does not qualify
197 Somewhere between 4-8
285 somewhere between 0-2 and 8
Team somewhere between 2nd and 4th.

I think Kennedy has an easier road to AA at 74 than Caliendo at 65. Whoever wins 65 this year will definitely earn it.

149 Blood Round

Pretty solid predictions and hard to argue much against any of them.

 

[PotentiallyDan]

Iowa doesn't qualify 133 for Nationals
Rathjen makes the podium

 

[OldKohawk]

If it needs to be bold, some of you may agree with me on this one, but all of you will not like this one....

Real does not even get to the finals. I love everything about him from what I can see as a person, but something seems off with his wrestling this year. Can't explain it, he just doesn't seem to have that swagger he had last year

Prove me wrong Real!

 

[hogghawk]

125 3rd
133 Im still thinking teske 2-2 record
141 champ
149 victor 2-2 record
157 champ
165 3 to 6
174 3 to 6
184 nothing
197 3 to 6
hwt i still think we stay with hill. 1-2 record

 

[Redm18]

Pretty solid predictions and hard to argue much against any of them.

Also not very bold.

 

[Nashville_Hawkeye]

One or two bold predictions:
125: 4th – has to find more offense against the top tier
133: Blood Round
141: Champion
149: 7th or 8th – VV is going to represent Iowa and make the podium
157: 6th – lack of offense is going to bite him like it did the Bull at NCAAs
165: 7th – and I think he’s going to have to fight like hell to get it
174: 6th or 7th – easier road then Caliendo
184: DNQ
197: 8th – probably my favorite wrestler to watch this year; brings it every time
285: 7th – BK pulls the shirt but the size disadvantage is too much

Team: 3rd with 8 AAs

Maybe in another year, but not this year against this talent. I think RW will prove you wrong.

Curious why you think VV will be the 49 lber and not Rathjen?

 

[Nashville_Hawkeye]

Truly not sure. But these are our bold predictions and I'm thinking VV doesn't take the mat against Purdue unless something's happening (injury or other).

 

[sstark46]

Caliendo finishes ahead of either KOT or Carr is my bold prediction

 

[todiebyyourside]

Caliendo finishes ahead of either KOT or Carr is my bold prediction

puff puff, pass

Now that is what I call a bold prediction!! So which one of them do you predict will get eaten by a T-Rex during their commute to Kansas City?

Gotcha, Coach Brands did say Flu was reason Rathjen didn’t wrestle, think he said Rathjen would be back this week,

 

[dhm47]

125 Somewhere between 1 and 6 on the podium
133 Blood Round
141 First NCAA Champ not named Lee in the last half decade or so
149 Blood Round
157 Somewhere between 1-4
165 Somewhere between 4-7
174 Somwhere between 5-8
184 Black Hole does not qualify
197 Somewhere between 4-8
285 somewhere between 0-2 and 8
Team somewhere between 2nd and 4th.

Really, really like Real, but he's going to have to go way harder against Bartlett and Mendez to get to the top of the podium. Wish him all the best.

Good call Jay!

Glazier makes the finals.

You’all aren’t following the rules. The predictions are supposed to be in bold font.

F*n State loses their entire starting lineup to a contagious skin disease right before NCAAs and Iowa takes their 25th team title.

Only 3 people followed the rules and made bold predictions.

 

[Grip220]

Stallrocci and Kirk have missed matches do to health issues, so let's go with that skin condition thing.

 

[Rotisserie Scrotz]

Prove me wrong Real!

But who is going to knock him off in semis (or earlier)? 141 is boring AF this year. Show me some, 141.

 

[jayridescarbon]

Good call Jay!

Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine.

 

[Rotisserie Scrotz]

Austin Gomez natty champ.

Blockus finalist.

No new charges against AJ before nattys.

 

[el dub]

Caliendo finishes ahead of either KOT or Carr is my bold prediction

That’s bold alright. Unfortunately it’s also unrealistic.

Good thing the thread wasn't "Bold, realistic predictions"

Well, shite….. We win it all.

That's the spirit!

2 out of 3 my prediction

 

[Tcalumet]

Caliendo finishes ahead of either KOT or Carr is my bold prediction

Couldn’t be happier if it happens but that’s a tall order. Seeding will def be huge.

 

[Sett1997]

[Trapper85]

Stallrocci and Kirk have missed matches do to health issues, so let's go with that skin condition thing.

I'll go with them all having too much f*n playing dodge ball that they miss weigh-ins.

 

[Nashville_Hawkeye]

Gotcha, Coach Brands did say Flu was reason Rathjen didn’t wrestle, think he said Rathjen would be back this week,

Thank you for the update. Wasn't sure why he was out but was good to see VV take full advantage of the opportunity and show some offense!

 

[blcoach80]

My bold prediction: Tom's press conference today was coach speak for saying Nelson is getting reinstated along with Tony and they will man 184 and 285 for Iowa at B10s and the NCAA tournament.
😉

 

[DeangeloVickers]

Bold predictions
125 Ayala makes the finals. TnT have a knack with 125s in March
141 Real loses in semis. Hope I'm wrong but his offense and top game are just off this year.
157 Franek makes finals.
165 Not all that bold but caliendo places top 4. He's been on fire since ISU, he's better than anyone not named Carr and O'toole.
174 no AA, too small for March.
197 Glazier AA. I wish I could find the thread when people bashed me for saying I thought he'd surprise us this year.
