OD match-up

[dad 2 5]

125, 133, 197 will be tough but I think we can win 22-16. What do you think? 

[Live2Pin]

I agree with you. I had figured it on paper 20-15, probably had the same wins and losses you did. It'll be interesting to see what we do at 197 until Brandvold is a 100% and what happens at 184 if Rutt isn't ready for the opener.

Is Budi from Kaukauna going to be ODU's 184 lber?

Yes.  http://d1collegewrestling.net/Teams_ODU.html

I've got 20-14

Brown's no slouch at 65 - I think he pounded on Mark Perry a couple years ago - it'll be a good match but Howe should win.

Yes and I will enjoy watching him kick our butt

Can anyone post the lineups for the 2 teams for Friday night? How about for Nebraska on Sunday?

[Live2Pin]

I don't know for sure this is the official ODU lineup but according to D1college wrestling and the ODU wrestling website it looks like this :

125 Hammen vs. #7 James Nicholson  RS Jr.  2x National qualifier  

133 #11 Graff vs. #17 Kyle Hutter Sr NCAA qualifier, won 2 matches at NCAA's. 81 carrer victories- 4th most of active ODU wrestlers

141 Schmitt vs Craig Wilson RS Fr  3X Missouri state champ, 4 time finalist. 202-4 high school record. 2nd at Fargo in FS

149 #2 Ruschell vs. John Nicholson Fr  2x Iowa state champ, 2nd at Senior nationals at 160lbs

157 Burke vs. Dan Rivera RS Jr

165 #3 Howe vs. #12 Chris Brown National Qualifier

174 Ard vs.#21 Eric Decker National Qualifier

184 Rutt vs. #25 Joe Budi

197 Hein vs. #11 Jesse Strawn Ntional Qualifier, Rd of 12

Hwt Bugenhagen vs Chapman Fr


Again I don't know for a fact that's their lineuop but according to the posted wrestle-off results I'm assuming it will be. The Badgers will have their hands full !

cant believe OD isnt ranked, should come down to the wire

[TomM]

I'm missing something here...
197.. Where is Brandvold? I think I heard he is hurt... Is that correct or what?

[Live2Pin]

Brandvold is recovering from a neck injury. He may miss a fair bit of the early season. Should be ready for the start of the Big 10 season.

Old Dominion is ranked 19th. Looks a pretty solid lineup and they have a pretty good recruiting class coming up.

Looks to me that without Branvold the Badgers are underdogs in both matches.

[Live2Pin]

I agree with you Doc. We need to win 141, 157, and hwt - or 2 of those 3 - to have a chance. If it comes down to bonus points that's going to be a tough battle to win too.

[takedown]
