1032004 1,514 Report post Posted March 16 Nothing against Max Dean, but we all know 197 has the most parity and Dean has already lost to the 9 seed. I'm not sure it happens, but I think the only real chances are at 174 (Labriola over Starocci) or 165 (Conigliaro or Hall over Wick). Can't write off Conigliaro due to the 165 8-seed factor, and I know Wick has been on fire, but I think Hall might have the best chance. He looked pretty good against O'Toole.

Mr. Poopy butthole 313 Report post Posted March 16 If you listened to the Basch podcast, he was convinced that Hildebrandt would beat Suriano at Bigs because Suriano didn't look "that good" to him (90% bonus be damned) and Hildebrandt (44% bonus) really impressed him. With that wisdom in mind, idk how you dont add Suriano to your list... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hildebrandt should worry about beating Noto first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lunaticfringe 103 Report post Posted March 17 174 and 184 would be most likely as those guys don’t score a ton of points compatively to other top seeds. If these guys were to get headlocked like Warner did last year, it would be possible Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBar1977 4,600 Report post Posted March 17 After seeing the Pillsbury Doughboy post about Quinn Kinner beating Nick Lee in the other thread I now kind of think D'emilio will take Kinner out in round 1. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Le duke 452 Report post Posted March 26 Just digging this up again. I saw a lot of people picking Labriola to beat Starocci this year. Can anyone explain what you saw in their respective wrestling that made you think that? I’m a PSU homer, but, to me Labriola has never been on Starocci’s level (other than Starocci’s RS year) and I expect the difference to keep growing.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Did anyone think Willits was on David Carr's level? Labriola had beaten Kemerer this year, finished 3rd last year and took Starocci to SV last year, and Starocci did not wrestle in the Nebraska dual this year. Stranger things have happened. But in general, I think picking him in this thread in particular had more to do with people thinking Labriola got a bad seed than it did thinking that Starocci was vulnerable. 3 nhs67, MSU158 and drag it reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dean was very fortunate to get through 2 very controversial matches to make the finals. Even then, only Carr and Wick didn’t make the Finals, with both losing by 1 point and both took 3rd. This isn’t exactly the type of thread where you can make an easy pick… Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But yeah, I wasn’t saying Dean would lose before the quarters, but he was definitely the most likely to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get your technical perspective, but I was simply responding to a poster that has already stated he bleeds blue and white. His post was to blast anyone and everyone that even considered a PSU guy could lose and Dean was the one most picked to do so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I literally said he was the one PSU wrestler I fully rooted for. His dad was a great guy to me. But, that doesn’t mean he wasn’t the most likely 1 seed to lose, nor does it mean he didn’t win two very controversial matches to get to the Finals. To help you with things, saying something didn’t age well usually comes when the prediction was way off. Meaning Dean pinned his way to the Finals, or at least was never in any real danger of losing. When you have two reviews decide 2 different matches that type of argument doesn’t really work. 1 BerniePragle reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
