Those of you that attend the dual, feel free to post your impressions after the dual in this thread.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

well, looks as though I'll be around for part of the dual. another party's travel plans keep being modified, which is what is causing me to get yo-yoed.

I'll post when I'm about to leave -- it will probably be around intermission.

 

[Tim Owen/BWI staff]

Hey, Tom. I'm set up here in press row at Rec Hall. Mark McKnight with the flag-waving ceremony now and they're about ready for introductions. No guarantees on PBP from me as wifi is in-and-out, but I'll chime in here and there

I heard something about I-Mar bumping up a weight or two for some secret special match, but idk...

jokes, guys, jokes

 

[diggerpup]

BTN2Go had the video up and running .... early ! ... and it just froze.

Timothy keeping things amusing, as usual.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

oh yeah, I noticed this today ... they are requesting that fans wear black on Sunday. I didn't think it looked so good when tOSU did it at the PSU - tOSU dual, but they didn't ask my opinion. So, you have been informed.

[pawrestlersintn]

coming back out..Nolf looks like a mummy

I called the blindfold early in the week!

 

[Big Blue12]

that impressive..langenderfer with all the blood time still couldn't fend off Nolf...

 

[shak66_psu]

good chance Nolf broke his nose early on with the face slam into the mat in the first pd

 

[Tom McAndrew]

with all the blood stoppage in Nolf's match, and my needing to pick someone up, it looks as though I'll miss the Joseph - IMar match. Ugh. Hope you guys can describe it in a way that I can read after the fact.
