Ryan's Final Match 2004 vs MBA

[best_of_the_west]

I've seen both teams wrestle a few times. I think that Ryan is too solid, especially if Hiller gets to 119. If not, will we see little Whit bump to 119 for a family feud? I doubt it. I think this one will come down to a few key matches, especially some of the heavyweights. I really hate to side with Irishdad, but I think I'm picking FR by quite a bit.

I would be truly surprised if Whit went 119. He has a better chance at a pin at 112 and MBA pin at 119. If Whit goes 119 and loses to Simpson, the MBA 112 will pin the Ryan backup. RYan will split 6-6 if Whit goes 112, and will lose 9-0 if he loses at 119.

Whit has had chances before to wreslte at 119 (Ibrahim) but was held out for some reason( don't know why). He will probably, for points and team reason, stay at 112. I don't think Hiller could make 119, he has been at 125 or 130 all year.

Irishdad has had it pretty rough these past few days, with an imposter on the board (possibly gopher??) and numerous accounts of Irish blunders, so Im gonna go with Ryan on this one. Good luck!

I was joking about Whit. Hiller will probably pin or tech. Francis, and Whit will probably pin. If the line ups haven't changed too much since the Ryan tourney and without the coaches bumping, this is how I see it...

I really hate to side with Irishdad, but I think I'm picking FR by 8 or so.

dude, you shouldn't have posted this quote then do your usual thorough analysis and come up with 34. but i do believe in the all knowing one, so i'll say ryan by 10 ......................................or maybe as much as 30.

I know. The edit function is a beautiful thing.

MBA is very young and Father Ryan is very experienced so basically Ryan should win this match but they are screwed in two years.

Looks pretty close to mine, so I have to agree. I said Hiller would tech., because Hiller beat David Hunt 7-2, and Hunt beat Francis 13-0. I know that's not always the most accurate way to predict matches, but that's what I used. What weight was Bellett at earlier in the year? He only won one match at the Ryan tourney. I like the upset pick. That's a good place to pick an upset. I guess we'll know soon enough.

Bellet does not start at 130. Junior Patrick Bradley starts there. Bradley lost 6-0 to Seaman from Mt. Juliet but thats his only match of notice. Sophmore Justin Hall (who ruined Austin Holland, 15-0, last night) will start at 130 and i have a feeling he might give Mondelli his money's worth.

[irishdad]

Tyler Shoettle won Soddy Daisy going away. John Micheal is giving up about 10 lbs. Tyler was very strong..Sorry Frank this maybe be a tough one for JM.

Is Justin Hall dropping to 130. I think he would be more effective at 135.
