So happy the MyMar peaking talk got snuffed.
I guess this was one of those times he was wrestling at 50% per Rowlands

The T-Row and Funky show will be interesting. There is homer, and then there is T-Row and MyMar
ESPN has been hemorrhaging subscribers ...
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/espn-lost-million-subscribers_us_583ef00be4b04fcaa4d5f2a8
... and is cutting as many of their high-priced on-air personalities as they can.
All Round 1 matches are now available on demand thanks to ESPN's terrific tournament-wide "every bout" coverage. Wrestling is truly blessed to have them in our corner.
Everyone is shedding subscribers because people are just simply getting rid of cable altogether. Also, They're doing so to keep profit margins at normal levels, not to keep themselves in the back. ESPN has found that their top personalities aren't really worth that much and are pretty much replaceable.
Outside of the Myles Martin kryptonite, has Bo Nickal even been challenged this year? I don't see why Dean over him is a lock like many are saying..
Magrum and Pucillo still have Martin winning the title.
I agree. Myles Martin peaks at the right time. He's the Jake Rosholt of our generation

Dropping off a few comments from Cael before I write up the recap. I'll have some more comments from Sanderson in that along with a couple of the wrestlers
On the 15-1 day...
"I think overall guys are wrestling well. They're having a good time. Big day tomorrow, obviously. Friday is always. Then Saturday just gets bigger, then every match just gets bigger."
On the consistent bonus production from Retherford, Nolf and Nickal...
"All three of them wrestled great. All three of them scored bonus points in the six matches they wrestled, but the big matches are tomorrow. These points are very small compared to the points that are awarded the next two days."
On Gulibon being able to bounce back in Friday's consolations...
"I think he's fine. We'd like to see him rebound obviously and wrestle great tomorrow. Kolodzik is a tough kid, but Jimmy wrestled fine. He just was beat in a couple positions but that's the difference when you're wrestling a tough opponent. You've got to win those scrambles and those tough positions, finish your shots, but we need him to battle back tomorrow. That'll help us a lot."

And give 2 bonus points to OSU. Could be the difference in the team title chase
Bottom line...WE NEED TO RELAX AND GO OUT AND SCORE POINTS...OTHERS WILL BE TIGHT....
So there are some tough matches on the slate tomorrow for PSU
Zain - should be fine
Nolf - should be fine, but Clagon is pretty slick when healthy and into wrestling
Joseph - this could be a real battle. Lewis is a great rider, as I recall, so Cenzo needs to be the one that wins the battle on their feet
Hall - Epperly is tough. This one has me stumped
Nickal - Dudley -- a pair of finalists from last year. Nickal should win, but as always, he has to avoid the costly mistakes
Cutch - Haught is a tough match. Could see this going either way
Nevills - Kasper -- we get to see if the #4 seed was warranted for Kasper. Both guys are deceptive, and dangerous. Tough match
Gulibon - Box -- pretty sure I've never seen Box wrestle. Jimmy looked good even losing tonight. If his head is on right, and he goes after it, I would favor Jimmy.

They're showing more Live Wrestling now than they did during Primetime when the top seeds were wrestling??? During prime time, they showed us interviews we could have listened to while watching live wrestling.....showed us the practice / warm-up room, etc.... Their coverage sucks - PSU is leading the tournament and I think they've showed about 30 seconds of live wrestling involving a PSU wrestler.
No disrespect, but showing Nolf/Retherford/Nickal/Hall blowouts aren't exactly the most riveting for a non-wrestling fan..
I'd disagree on that one. That's the kind of action you want to show to get new wrestling fans.
