Watching these matches today so far, is there a Minnesota wrestler anywhere on the planet with a pulse? Jamminz should go into hiding for a hell of a long time.
 
is anyone else having trouble with BTNGo?
When I try to use split screen, all I can get is this mornings sessions?
Move the events forward up top. Scroll left until you get to the afternoon matches. You'll go past other events before you see session #2
 
Black over Nick. A lot of respect for Nick coming back from such a terrible injury to be able to wrestle in this season.

JC and DiJulius wrestled at the same time as Nico - Gilman. I missed it, but DiJulius was up 2-0. Later JC got a TD and 4 NF, and went on to win 8-2!!!
 
Nice job by Nico and Jordan. I won't miss seeing DiJulius, that's for sure.
