Hey guys. I'm not attending for the first time in 3yrs and oh my is it ever stinging. I don't know about the PSWC site's treatment of PSU guys on which mats, but Penn State Pat does a good job of this on the twitter @pennstatewrest. Even if you don't 'do twitter', you can bookmark that page and hit refresh:
https://twitter.com/pennstatewrest?lang=en But, like Crop, I still want to be very organized. I've got some buddies in town for watching hoops and will inject their shootyball vibes with wrestling when we hang, but I've been trying to decide when to hit the bars, and when to watch at home.
Interesting development this year, for those who have been 'casting' their BTN2GO / BTN+ Webstreams from their laptops to their TV screens, is ESPN expanding their Cable TV broadcasts of different sessions. Some sessions we'll have to decide which source to send to our TV Screens: Cable TV on ESPN / ESPNU or Webstream ESPN3. To help myself, I recreated the schedule, using Eastern time, and listing broadcast options. Was also considering making a BSD Viewer Guide, so I put in the Team Points that are available for each round, which most of you already know. Anyway:
