Well....Iowa gets the perfect start to their day. Abe Assad gets 2 bonus via a Medical Forfeit in the 7th place bout against Malczewski. He wasn't the only one. Austin Gomez and Gavin Hoffman also MFF.

This is a really bad take IMO. As others posted, the interviews are based on willingness to participate and things like human interest. I just can't believe that the TV producers go in with an effort to minimize PSU coverage.Anyone else notice that the producer of the BTN coverage seems to have instructed the full broadcast crew to focus on and “talk up” the non-PSU wrestlers. I suppose this helps encourage the fans of other schools who are facing yet another epic tsunami of aggregate talent from our Nits. For those somewhat annoyed by the lack of PSU interviews and “mentions”, …. worry not because Tulsa is coming.
I just hope we continue to dominate like we haveAs an Iowa fan, I could care less if they interviewed or “mentioned” any of my teams wrestlers, coaches, families, etc… if I won all the time. I don’t get the complaints that “other teams” get more coverage. It’s not like it’s hurting recruiting for Penn St. Seems like something trivial and doesn’t deserve a lot of attention but I see by some comments on this board it’s very upsetting to a portion of this fanbase.
I may not understand your point. This is a tournament with 140 wrestlers. There is easily accessible information about viewing options. We duplicate that information here. It is not difficult to access the matches (unless Flo is the provider).I'm for all those things. ALSO, for my 78 year old father to be able to watch the matches he tunes in to see.
As usual, as a wrestling fan you have to mimic The Minority Report just to catch one of the few opening round matches we had.
I can do it, many others as well, not everyone possesses the skills or the passion needed to watch I guess.
The interviewer who interviewed Spencer’s parents had a missed opportunity when he didn’t say ‘ Lar, any recent updates to the 3 inch binder?’Anyone else notice that the producer of the BTN coverage seems to have instructed the full broadcast crew to focus on and “talk up” the non-PSU wrestlers.

Dear Sir:I just hope we continue to dominate like we have
Translation: "This is like that time I was wrong for 40 years and then found out yesterday I was right all along."This is kind of like me in my HS fandom thinking that the ref I know who graduated from a rival HS, who is a really good guy, is always kind of sticking it to us because of the rivalry - going on 40 years. (Although, yesterday as the assistant ref in the match to go to states for one of our freshmen he stepped in to discuss and waive off a TD that occurred and was called 2 with 30 seconds to go in the first period after the period had ended. And then in the 2nd period when an illegal hold was missed, that was really, really clear but the primary ref was not in position, he didn't step in as the assistant to discuss - WTF, and we lost a close one. So, I think my conspiracy theories are well-founded there, lol. )

Dice: Love the fire. It’s a forum and we all get to play ….. some of us recovering from a late night and others fully caffeinated.This is a really bad take IMO. As others posted, the interviews are based on willingness to participate and things like human interest. I just can't believe that the TV producers go in with an effort to minimize PSU coverage.
And I would be pretty sick of it if all the focus was on PSU guys just because we are leading - it is pretty good to hear from guys that you don't know as well as the PSU guys.

Yes, it just took me a while to confirm what I always knew!!!!Translation: "This is like that time I was wrong for 40 years and then found out yesterday I was right all along."
Did I get that right, @dicemen99?
I don’t get the animosity towards the Amines. They are obviously a zealous wrestling family. Nothing wrong with that. Yeah, the senior Amine can be quite animated when his sons are competing. So what? That’s the kind of stuff that makes for good camera coverage of the crowd. I’m sure that if any of us were out there on the mat, we’d want our dads to be in the stands cheering for us too.Without a doubt, the most dangerous place in America is between an Amine and a television camera.

Got a call from a friend who lives near Spokane. There’s a big wildfire out where your logging operations are located and they need all the help they can get to stop it. 😈Ready for a longggg day of wrestling! Let's go
That's one fire I'll turn down😁. Hopefully Gary catches a little fire here at the end of match.Got a call from a friend who lives near Spokane. There’s a big wildfire out where your logging operations are located and they need all the help they can get to stop it. 😈

'Steen will be fine' ;-)Another loss.
he will still get a team title!!'Steen will be fine' ;-)
Bummer, that was close and to think he still had a shot at 9th.
You're missing the point. We're recruiting you.

Can't we just put him on waivers and be done with it?You're missing the point. We're recruiting you. We are proposing a straight up trade for gunsie823.
Didn't want to take the cap hit. We can restructure Madden's contract.Can't we just put him on waivers and be done with it?
If we need to sweeten the pot, we can throw in a certain wordsmith we have laying around.I’m You're missing the point. We're recruiting you. We are proposing a straight up trade for gunsie823.
The one I didn't get was why interview Amine's uncle?The more annoying thing is the parent interview full screen when action is happening. In particular, Larry "I'm gonna recruit your wrestlers" Lee and the ever annoying and arrogant Amine family.
At least after the finals the action is paused and the wrestler actually won something.
I hope that they interview Lee again during the final and Spencer gets thrown and decked in the middle of it. That would be TV gold worthy of a new 3 inch binder.
Probably the Amine families naked wrestling basement champion...The one I didn't get was why interview Amine's uncuncle
