No announcer, no replay of the first exchange. Flo's production team should be embarrassed. What a joke! It makes our sport look like a Mickey Mouse production. This is for a spot on the World team!

I love watching Bo wrestle. He doesn't care who he's against, he's going to go at them for the entire match.

Flo people are in Stillwater and were supposed to announce it from there but had technical difficulties. Hopefully it's fixed for round 2. Blame DT 😂🤷

Bo's handfight and pace are unreal. During the 1st period of match 1, it looked like Real's strength was going to be too much for Bo to overwhelm. But, absolutely nothing knocks Bo off of keeping to his strategy. You counter him for a takedown? No big deal, he keeps coming at you. And eventually, he just breaks you. He broke the reigning world Bronze. If they let that match keep going, Bo would have won by 100!

Penn State fans (some, the idi@t ones) don't want Bo.

Well, there was that annoying social media thing. Bo was earning money but he shouldn't do that, it was annoying. Two things certain to generate an uproar from certain people. Somebody standing on their lawn and young people earning more money than they do.

Why does anyone care what Bo does what's good for him? If you are, you must be annoyed with some athletes doing the NIL as well then.

Then I apologize for the missed sarcasm.
The sarcasm was me implying i found Bo's social media routine irritating. When I say the two types of people annoyed by Bo's social media are the same people that will yell "get off my lawn", and those who will think it is BS for a young whippersnapper to earn significant money using new tools that the angry adult doesn't understand, then i am not using sarcasm.

As far as Bo not being at PSU, the staff thought he was coming to PSU. Then after PSU face stomped Iowa he was off to Iowa with a life altering financial offer. When both sides figured out that wasn't going to work Bo's recruiting was reopened. Bo was more than welcome to join PSU, and if he had accepted the original offer he would be a Lion. Somebody in the Bassett camp thought they could entice the PSU staff into a bidding war. PSU wasn't interested. A plan being the plan and all.

Penn State fans knew deep down it was a long shot for Bo to ever come here. There were so many times when it looked obvious and it was clear he and/or his family were looking for any reason to not. Reality is I really think the family didn’t want Bo to be labeled a front runner. I’m pretty sure Oklahoma State stopped being an option once it was clear Jax was going there and he was clearly going to be the face of that team.

I reported last summer it was a done deal but once again, something changed behind the scenes. I can’t find it but someone posted a leaked commitment edit of Bo in a PSU singlet that our graphics department creates, which they only do when there is a verbal behind the scenes.
