Southern Scuffle Finals Matchups

OK State puts 133-184 in the finals.

Piccinnini loses to Russell of Edinboro in consi semis. going for 5th.
Weigel going for 3rd
Schafer going for 3rd.

My finals picks highlighted in bold

Mueller vs Lizak
Brock vs Parker
Heil vs Ward
Mayes vs Collica
Smith vs Kutler
Lewis vs Rogers
Hall vs Crutchmer
Dean vs Boyd
Cox vs Pfarr
Kasper vs Kroells

I think 125 is a tossup, 141 is a tossup, 149 is a tossup. Parker has looked tough as well, think he will give Brock a good match. Also, if Cox has one of his lethargic, slow paced matches, would not be surprised to see an upset there either. Or if Rogers takes Lewis for a ride. So yeah, should be some good finals matches, hopefully a lot of good action.

Lizak majors Mueller 10-2. They were pretty even on their feet, but Lizak owned him on the mat. He is a hammer on top.

Lizak sounds like he's made great strides. He's always been a great rider, but he used to get mauled in other positions. Will be interesting to see how he stacks up against the top guys.
 
Brock is very slick on his feet. Assuming Cory is back by then, he will have to be very alert, Brock is so quick at getting angles, and is really fast/explosive on his ducks/slidebys. Cory can definitely scramble with anybody though.
 
Brock wins by Injury Default. He was up 4-2, then got taken down 4-4, and brock grabbed the ankle and pulled in a reversal situation then Parkers knee gave out. Shame to see it end like that.
 
Heil and Ward, super boring match, and then in the last 30 seconds of the 3rd period there was a flurry and Heil got a body lock took him down and got the TD after the ensuing scramble. Heil wins 3-1.

said it a couple weeks ago, Heil can be beat.
 
Collica wins 7-6 over Mayes, this was a very good match, lots of action. Some questionable stall calls, but never a stall point given up so they never came into play.
 
WOW Rogers gets taken down then reverses lewis to his back for the FALL! Some horsepower there from Rogers wow.
 
Possible AA Suriano, Cortez, Gulibon followed by Likely champs Zain, Nolf, possible AA Joseph, likely champ Hall, and likely high AA Nickal, and possible AA at 197, HWT. Hate to say it, but that lineup is so much better than Iowa. We'd be favorites in 2 matches maybe 3. They'd be heavy favorites in 5

Is this a PSU board, disguised as Iowa Hawk fans? Does no one have black and gold tinted glasses? No optimism? Stop it! If I want to hear about how PSU is going to win for the next 20 years, I'll go to their board.

Why everyone is so in love with Collica is beyond me. He's simply not as good as Sorensen.

The only reason i say that is because he is wrestling better than last year. wrestlers with good strength has always given collica problems but the way he has looked this year against strong wrestlers has me leaning in his direction. of course this is just an opinion an it will be decided next week. also of note Sorenson is really sound technically on top of his strength but i feel collica is right there with him an may have the edge this year.
 
Kutler takes out Smith 7-1, gets a 6 point TD in the 3rd period. Smith didn't do much that match although it was smiths shot that Kutler scored off of on a counter. Kemdawg can and WILL beat him.

Got his wrestling genes from his mother.
 
i know the record. i'm going by the way he is wrestling this year not last year. his first victory at grapple was a dominating win but the one at ncaas was not. Sorenson has the upper hand because of prior victories but this is wrestling gentlemen he can be beat. this is a home dual for the pokes so i'm going with that upset. u guys act like crazy things can't happen at this dual.

Crazy things happen almost every dual with OSU.. BOTH ways.
