Ouch, why does everything have to be about woodchuck.May I be the FIRST to announce it is noon and you only have a couple of hours to ***** about posting and then ***** about the bitching of posting and on and on..........Let's not make this an unbearable Groundhog Day........
I’m a conspiracy theorist, Greg - facts have little relevance to me.
Ha, I hear ya! I was prepared to blame FLO, too, but clearly, USAW had its own equipment for replays, and that's what was malfunctioning.
Kids spring elementary concert was timed right during the finals so that stinks. I see James was close. That kid is going to be a freaking stud!
The James match was awesome!! Goes down 9-1 with 2:00 left but gets to his offense and climbs back to within a td. He needed 3 points though because of criteria so he had to try and go big or get a quick 2 and 2. Carr also had 2 cautions so 1 more and he would’ve been cautioned out of the match. James came at him but Carr held good position. Incredible fortitude from the youngster to fight back. Carr looked really good as well. Best he had all weekend
Just some thoughts.
61 - I knew Jax would make the adjustments. Didn't wrestle like it was a folkstyle match and killed Davino. Jax's ability to finish when he gets to a leg is underrated. Can't wait for Blaze-Jax.
70 - This version of Zain isn't medaling. Can't really get to legs. Looked like the 2017 version. I'm sure he'll get his timing back. Hope he hits a tourney before worlds - there's certainly plenty of time.
74 - KD messed up. Had he not challenged that clear 4 from carr, James is winning that match. That was a 2 (elbow hit) and then a 4. And I don't care who wins at Final X. Neither is medaling. This version of Carr just aint gonna do it. And Green is just going to stand around and do nothing to lose matches. Maybe Carr should just transfer to All I See Is Gold Academy (it's where he's been training since the Open)
125 - Parris is the better pure wrestler. But Hendrickson is just willing to let it fly from everywhere. Definitely a toss up match, either guy can medal.

I watched the sequence a handful of times and cannot figure out where Jax's 9th point came from. He was up 6-1, hit a double to duck for 2 to make it 8-1. They put 9-1 on the board and never changed it. Next TD made it 11-1 and a tech. Anyone know?
In other wrestling news today, Nate Kasak won his greco bracket, TF in 20 seconds, F in 18 seconds and TF in 22 seconds.
I’ll take this one! It’s seems worth coming out of retirement for. Just a heads-up to all putative class members though: The litigation will last years, I’ll end up with the lions share of any payout, and you’ll maybe end up with a coupon for a small dollar amount redeemable when your subscription renews - provided you take the time to fill out the claims form and timely submit it.Is there a lawyer in this forum? I need representation for starting a class action lawsuit against espn.com . It turns out that they have been spoiling the result before their readers have had a chance to read the details of games. They use a nefarious mechanism called “headline”. See example below.

Please wait for the PBP to finish.
The correct bar analogy you should be using is a guy walks into a bar where fifty people are watching the NCAA championships and yells at the bartender to shut the TV off. He doesn't want to see the results before he gets home and watchs the whole thing on demand.
Just watched again it was definitely a mistake. At 1:31 the 2 was given
At 1:26 while he's on top 1 is given

Not that it likely would have mattered, but then the match should not have been stopped when it was. The score would have only been 10-1.
Jax scored and he was in a great position to turn him as well if needed I don't think it matters but it looks like a mistake to me.
He locks up a lace there if he needs points. Still odd and will see if I can get an answer on it
Horseshit. Which shows you have no idea what the original poster was politely asking.
The poster was asking that 1 guy delay posting the results for 30 freaking seconds! Not until the tourney was over… not until others said “cool we are good”. It was literally “let the PbP post get done before posting the score”. Not until someone can get home to watch.
Wait 30 seconds for the PbP post to hit. It is mind boggling that anyone thinks that is even an impolite request. And again, the request didn’t come from me.
I just went and rewatched Carr vs James. In the last sequence where James scored on the edge taking Carr over from quad pod, Carr initially hits his elbow/forearm to the mat before Jayden takes him over. Isn’t that a td once Carr’s supporting point hits? On the broadcast Pyles says something about a second supporting point needing to hit the mat. I’ve always thought that as soon as the head, knee, or elbow hits a td. If so, Jayden would’ve gotten 2 and 2 more on the edge or possibly even 4 on the edge and the score would’ve been 9-9 or 11-9 Jayden. @vhsalum pointed this out as well
Agree. And Carr’s length was an obstacle as well.James looked awesome, but much smaller than Carr. He looks closer to 157 than 174 ---- barring a Kasak cow.
James is going to be a great one. It will be fun to watch his progress in both Folk and Free.
How about we end it on this? The request was made to me. The reply is “no.”
i have no desire to be first. I do a have a desire to post in real time with many other posters that I enjoy discussing dual and tournaments with over the years. Like always. It contributes to MY enjoyment of this board.
