[MKPSU91]

Exhausted walking to the back.

Probably a huge weight cut... out of gas.

 

[PSUer89]

Sorry if already mentioned. ESPN plus has me maxed out at 3 screens. Please tell me i didn't set up 7 screens for nothing? Lol
Anyway to pull up 7 mats at a time?

I have all 8 on my laptop up (9 with the multi-mat view). I opened each tab separately

Bubba is not updating mats

 

[AgSurfer]

Should have posted this earlier, but you older guys will remember him. He was the MC at every big tournament including the NCAA championships.

 

[gimb14]

Always seemed like Bouzakis cut too much at 133. No clue how he maintains 125

 

[gimb14]

Davis in the hole on 4

 

[ElDuce]

Fugitt goes down, wasn't that long ago he beat ayala.....

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Braeden Davis is in the hole on Mat 4

 

[RealMicah]

Thought Davis had that takedown on Fugitt. Glad they gave it to him.

Works for me. Davis assigned Mat 4

Ready to go!!!

That is some man cave! @lionlover has some ideas on where to place the dancing pole.

 

[ElDuce]

Blaze is feeling it that was a quick cut

 

[hohmadw1978]

Marcus has come to wrestle! A 11 point second period.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

An even better 2nd period for Blaze. He's up 14-1 after 2, with 1:19 in RT

 

[ElDuce]

Shawver Byrd has been crazy! Round 1. This is the best sports weekend of the year!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

17-2, TF, @ 5:30 for Marcus Blaze!!!

 

[Sunshine88!]

Bouzakis saved by the clock. He moves on 9-5 over Bah of Columbia. Blaze is now on deck mat 2.

Weigh cut

 

[ElDuce]

Tech for Blaze

 

[Sir Pin Alot]

Marcus has come to wrestle! A 11 point second period.

The devino loss may have been a kick in the shorts to get him going. Man on a mission...

 

[hohmadw1978]

Tech fall for Marcuz Blaze! 17 to 2 final score.

2.5 points for the team total (1.5 bonus points)

 

[Misalorales]

Blaze looked tremendous.

 

[Misalorales]

SVN mat 6 / Liledahl mat 8

 

[gimb14]

van ness in the hole on 6

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[PUR158]

Blaze almost stuck him in that tilt.

 

[Kingslayer]

Thought Davis had that takedown on Fugitt. Glad they gave it to him.

He had it and a shame it had to go to review to get it right

 

[GregPickel]

SVN in the hole mat 6, Davis on deck mat 4, Lilledahl in the hole on 8.

 

[Headlock]

i thought he was just still 'venerable'

That too!!!

 

[ElDuce]

Blaze almost stuck him in that tilt.

That whole scramble before that was beautiful, thought blaze was gonna give up a takedown

 

[SlipperyPete]

@Tom McAndrew it looks like we're going to have some overlap with Luke & SVN. Can you cover one of those? Take your pick.

If there's a quick ending & no overlap, then I'll take care of it.

 

[namenoonechose]

ESPN not having the mat number visible in the app is f'ing stupid as hell. It doesn't help that they're not in numerical order either.

Visible mats numbers with my Roku stick. Matt numbers cut off and not visible on the fire stick. Go figure

 

[Tom McAndrew]

@SlipperyPete -- Davis's match should go 1st. It's possible that SVN's match or Luke's match will start during Davis's match.

If Davis's match ends before SVN or Luke start their respective matches, I'll take the 2nd start of SVN or Luke. If SVN or Luke start before Davis's match is over, then I'll take the overlap match (the one that starts while Davis's match is still taking place).
