Just a heads up on my schedule, and an overview of the board for NCAAs

Thursday -- I should be around, and able to provide PBP, for all 4 sessions
Friday -- I'll be around for Session 3 and Session 5, but will miss Session 4
Saturday -- I'll be around for all of the sessions, but by tradition I don't do PBP for the finals

As for an overview of the board for NCAAs, especially for those that have not been here for prior Nationals, there will be a separate thread for each session.

I wonder what important shows ESPN has on that prevents them from putting Thursday and Friday morning on ESPN or ESPN2. Does anybody watch that stuff?

@SetonHallPirate -- perhaps some help for your dating life. The article in the top link was written by Anna Negron. Here's what she writes about herself at the bottom of the article:

"It was always a dream of mine to work at ESPN, and here I am! I joined the College Sports PR team in March 2016. Hailing from the great Garden State, I graduated from Seton Hall University (Go Pirates!) with a degree in sport management, where I not only sang the National Anthem at games, but was also a member of the Seton Hall Sapphires Dance Team and a student reporter for Pirate Sports Network. Before joining ESPN, I served as a Public Relations Associate for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl."

Good luck, SHP!

Funny you mention her, Tom...she actually sang the national anthem before the (I think) final session of the 2016 NCAA Wrestling Championships.

In all seriousness, though, I just broke up with my girlfriend on (literally) Monday, and am not ready to date right now.

ouch. that's rarely a good thing ... certainly a tough situation heading into Nationals.

best of luck in the coming weeks. I'm going to be rooting for Anna and you; too many shared interests for it not to work. Whether you can keep up with her on the dance floor ... that may be a challenge with her background of being on the Hall's Dance Team. If she's better than you on the dance floor, well, you can make up for it by teaching her all the wrestling moves.

Traditionally morning sessions are on ESPNU. They need the big stations so Max Kellerman and that other fella can argue about LeBron.

I has been posted elsewhere that certain brackets are not printable friendly.

Does anyone have any suggestion for the best site to use to print the brackets so I can play along at home.

TIA

Never mind, the PSWC came through.

As they say, Membership has it's privileges!

How do you watch ESPN3? Is this an app like BTN+? I have searched for an app and have not found anything.

Yes it is actually ESPN plus, download the ESPN app and it will come with it. This is a pay streaming service, I believe its 5.99 a month

You know we should be so grateful to ESPN for the tremendous coverage they provide. Back in the dark ages you got 1 hr of the finals. Helll you would just get highlights of most matches. So who cares what channel its on.

Actually no, ESPN3 is an online portion of ESPN, you can get to it with your cable login, ESPN+ is an extra subscription. So, if you have ESPN on cable you can get ESPN3 for no extra cost.

Wonder how many smiles there will be in the championship photo???
Just asking for a friend.
