Olympic trials

Whats everyone think about the Sunday night 8pm start for the last session

I think it's horseshit. I knew I was gonna have to leave earlier anyways, due to travel and needing to be at work the next day, but not starting the session that is the culminating event until 8pm is a miscue IMO.
Hope my plane has wifi.

Not much. Absent any information, I assumed worst case on the day I purchased my ticket, and so I reserved an AirBnB Friday through Monday and scheduled to take Monday off from work.
 
On Monday, I received a big envelope in the mail from Penn State. I though they finally accepted me after a record 43 year wait list.
Normal I'd be ecstatic as it was my Olympic Trials VIP tickets but......

Was so looking forward to it and time with my sons.

If the bad news continues, Does anyone have China's 800 number where I can apply for a refund?

Silver College was cancelled today. Not that that means Trials automatically will be, but doesn’t look good.
I’m heartbroken. This was my first trip to PSU. The perfect spring break.
 
I am assuming if the trials are held, fans will not be in attendance at this point.

don't know... some of the school 'closings' say until April 5. Maybe 'toughing' it out through March will provide a different light on April...

Me too, first trip to PSU and to a wrestling event of this magnitude. Christmas present from my wife. Ticket just came a few days ago.

Come on down anyways. We can rent a big room at one of the hotels and watch each national championship we won the last ten years and have a few beers. F it lets do it just keep it under 250 or we won't be able to congregate lol
 
While I know the chance of having Trials seems slim, if they have it what do they do about qualifiers? No NCAA champ spots, so do they just invite a few more or run with a smaller pool?
 
Hers a question. Will ESPN show last year's nationals like a re run since nationals is cancelled. That would be sweet. Another chance to watch Bo and nolf and the rest of the team.
Rerun the 2018 championships, Bo at his finest.

I've been respectful here, that's really shitty asshat. I like good wrestling , my favorite team USA wrestler is Taylor.
You're a jerk.

I plan to do exactly that, but my 2nd round recording got zapped. Unfortunately, that round had the best match - Nolf destroying Van Brill. Nolf’s 2nd or 3rd TD was savage - some sort of trip. Van Brill wanted off the mat in the worst way but had to take his beating.

Before the match a bunch of Rutgers goons, including Richie Lewis and Eleazor de Luca, were chirping to Nolf. Did not end well for them

What the hell does that mean. You must be getting me mixed up with another poster. Read the post again that's called being hospitable and what does Taylor have to do with anything I said
