Flo absolutely sucks at doing the one job they bullied their way into.
On a lighter note Friday at the request of my lovely wife I accompanied her to the Artisphere here in Greenville, South Carolina.
I was amazed to see and adult wearing an IOWA wrestling tee shirt and he appeared to be sober.

Third haines match recap courtesy of USA Wrestling:​

​

79 kg Round 3 – Levi Haines (United States) tech. fall Patrik Leder (Canada), 13-2​

Single leg from Leder, heavy hips countering by Haines, and Haines gets around behind for the score. He adds a gutwrench, making it 4-0 Haines with a fresh start 5:07. Haines chases down a single leg and converts another score. Haines drives through a single leg, for two points, then goes head-in-the-hole leg lace finish, ending the match 10-0. Canada is challenging that Haines was caught on his back for either an exposure or a fall during the leg lace. Upon review, Leder will get a set of exposure points on the exchange, making the score 11-2 with 37 seconds left in the period. A restart in parterre, and Haines gets a gutwrench to clinch it, 13-2.

People think that Flo always knows when the streams aren't working properly but thats not true. I always reach out to someone on the team and tell them and many times they're not aware of the issue but they resolve it quickly once they're aware

That is simultaneously an interesting revelation and damaging indictment against Flo.

P.S. Thank you for your service

While I'm sure at times that's true, it's a lame excuse. In this instance they ran a "We are having technical difficulties" page a couple times each mat. If they were not aware of the issues it's even worse service in my opinion. I think it lasted over an hour.

This has been a recurring issue pre Taylor vs Dake days and they simply don't care. They have it on lockdown, and USA wrestling should step in but they won't.

At $169 it's my most expensive streaming source, and my worst run source as usual.

It is amazing the sacrifice these coaches do for these athletes. Mothers Day wrestling. I hope Casey had the kids get something already for mom and doesn't have to resort to buying an Iowa Wrestling Tshirt at the airport and a bottle of corn whiskey at the duty free store.

I remember Casey speaking at a PSWC social, either last year or two years ago. He said the Iowa coaches sent his daughter an Iowa Women's wrestling shirt. Casey said it got tossed out.

I just hope his attachment/admiration/previous relationship with Taylor doesn't change things down the road. Seems doubtful but I'll always be nervous.

Considering his entire family has moved into Centre County, his wife's family lives in Centre County with roots that are generations deep, he loves the coaching staff and vice versa - if there is a Penn Stater whose parents sent him to school and he stayed forever it is Levi.

Levi is anchored in State College as long as he's competing.

Never know what might happen if he decides to go into coaching. IMO he'd be great as a co-owner of M2 if he chooses to go that way, but that by itself might not be financially sustainable.

Taking a longer view: when Levi retires from competition, he might be a natural successor to Casey. Levi turns 22 in August, probably has another 8-10 years left. Casey just turned 50 -- will he want to continue past 60? The timing might work out incredibly well, and Levi would be in the same weight range.

HR should be ready to annoint Buchanan an Olympian Gold medalist. I mean a 14-4 asss whooping in the PanAm finals is definitely a hat hanger.

That's a bad excuse.
If you're in the streaming business, you have to be aware.
That's like a restaurant owner saying they didn't know the food was spoiled.
