Appreciate ur thoughts but I only want to know who wins and the score in real time. Keep me posted.

Thanks a lot. I haven't had a chance to watch that tournament yet on the DVR.
Serious answer, when I am at NCAAs I am too busy enjoying the wrestling to text anybody.
Serious answer. If I am not at NCAAs I am not texting anybody who is there because I am watching on TV.
Serious answer, if I am not at the competition nor watching then when I check the thread discussing the competition I am expecting to see the scores.
Serious answer, if you don't expect to see scores from multiple posters then you're an idiot.
Just being serious.
Liar. We all know you have Bob Nicolls' number in your favorites file.
That person is me. We have YTTV and things are always 30 seconds behind. If I don’t want to know in real time, I wait until the match is done
If five in five passes, it's difficult to see how James doesn't get a spot immediately. He's a special kid.
Just so I'm clear with everyone here, im.not changing a damn thing with the way I post in these match threads. If you guys want your pbps to be void of discussion then ask the person to do a pbp only thread. That should be the popular board etiquette anyway. This thread was started in April for Christ's sake. All of the sudden you want all of us watching the matches live as they are happening to stfu until your pbp is finished being posted? I'll be the prick here then, why the f*** is this thread being corrupted with your pbp posts that I shouldnt have to scroll over to get to people's thoughts and opinions of the match? See, I can be a whiny ***** too...
Haven't seen a go ahead notification from Greg nor Tom, but I am willing to risk it.
Z i think James beats Carr.
Carr has the experience, but my God James has the feel and instincts of a master who has practiced this craft for eons.

How does one find a match easily without looking at the brackets, USA wrestling or flo, with out seeing the score? I do pay for Flo so I have no idea if the recordings are behind a paywall but to quickly find a match I go to the brackets and see the score anyway unless I can some how cover the score with my thumb before pressing play.
It's always mind-blowing when someone shows up on a message board and decides that everyone is doing it wrong when it's simply just been that way for years and all the regulars are perfectly fine with it.
Like Dice said, it's very easy to isolate the PBP post--they all have unique anchor links--and simply reload that until the match is over.

The keyboard closes on you and crazy stuff happens to you too i see, here I thought it was only me not knowing what I was pressing to mess it up that bad. Lol.
I have a singular example of not wanting to know scores.
2019, Pittsburgh NCAAs. I couldn't attend Saturday. I was the admin on call with the only other people qualified to cover either in Florida golfing or in Pittsburgh themselves. I ended up in house from noon until 3AM. I was too busy to check much, but I did not want to know any results. Everybody in house knew damn well to not mention anything to me, and I never looked at my phone nor a computer. When I got home I watched on replay and I didn't read any threads on here until the wrestling was complete.
How much of an idiot would i have to be get on the NCAA finals thread thinking I could read along without seeing the scores?
The bickering in this thread is beyond annoying. A great day for PSU wrestlers in the competition, and we have all this other nonsense to wade through.
Folks are always welcome to post results, whether it is accompanied by PBP, or inserted into an edited post, or anything else. Any information, in any competition, that involves a PSU wrestler, a PSU recruit, or a NLWC wrestler, is always welcome.
There is absolutely no rule about waiting to post reactions, or a final score, until PBP is posted in a thread. We are fans of wrestling, and those that bring info about it should always be encouraged.
@SlipperyPete. when he does PBP, usually makes a post at the end of the 1st period (in folkstyle), and then updates that post after the subsequent periods. As such, his complete PBP often appears in a thread before any final scores for the match. I generally didn't follow that approach in the many years in which I did PBP, and would post my match PBP after the end of the match, and as such it would be after several posts that had the results at the end of a period, or even the final results.
There is no correct or incorrect approach in terms of how to post PBP, either for those active/following along in the thread during the competition, or those that read it hours later. It gets posted when the person that is giving of their time and knowledge gets to it.
This is probably a non-issue for 95% of those that frequent this board. For the other 5%, just chill out, and enjoy a place where we follow all aspects of PSU wrestling.

I saw a post or two about this earlier today in the thread. But a picture certainly helps for those that weren't watching the competition.
Edit: I should add that I've encountered a lot of strange situations in my many years or reffing wrestling, but I don't recall ever seeing or dealing with an incident like this in a match I reffed.

The other way to look at that:
NCAA finals. Your TV is a minute behind and you don’t want any spoilers. Would you ask your buddies to add you to their NCAA finals group chat and then tell them they can’t text about any results?
Caliendo texted me and said he would rather wrestle Mitch again than read the debate in this thread.
At least you have DVR. I have Betamax.
Under Flo hit the search button on the main banner, then specify videos, then type in the wrestler you want to see. You shouldn't get any spoilers this way.
You are doubling down? Is this really the hill you want to die on? Seriously, I don't understand. I thought you were joking.
I think I saw him in the YouTube Stall Camp video!
KD told me about him and then I saw him as an 8th grader at Elite 8 and you could see then he was special
After reading this thread, I gather that the new nickname for James is "Wow," right?
