PSU - Michigan Dual Thread

[purescurve]

Just a tad sanctimonious on your part, Roar. Some people were upset about missing 125. They're passionate wrestling fans who may have posted in a moment of frustration. Careful getting off that high horse of yours, you might hurt yourself.

Especially for those of us who only have BTN

Why did they miss 125? I didn't as it was on BTN2GO.

Hoops game went into overtime.

How big was that northern, and where did you catch it? I'm guessing Canada; looks like a Canadian sized northern!

If your cable provider doesn't offer BTN you can't log into BTN2GO. Kind of sucks for me as I use the Dish Anywhere App to watch BTN so if these hoops games go over the 2hrs (which they normally do) I miss the start of the duals.

Ah, I didn't even know that was possible. I assumed anyone that could watch on BTN could watch BTN2GO. I think many that have BTN do not know that they can just login and watch on BTN2GO, which is what I did.

Not so sure about that. With such a limit there'd have been no Konrad, Mocco, McMullan, Rey, Fox, Wagner, etc. etc. There were a lot of good, big, and entertaining heavyweights.

You forgot Tad Thacker.

EVEN IF your cable provider has BTN, not all of them (usch as mine) provide you with a log-in code; so some of us still cant watch BTN2GO.

Not entirely, as I did think of Chris Taylor, but I didn't include him (or Thacker), simply because there were NO weight limits then, so the comparison isn't exactly the same.

Kind of what I said.

Well, I wasn't disagreeing with you, but rather reiterating your sentiments. Mostly because I couldn't believe that anyone would describe Robin Ficker's antics as "entertaining". Kind of floored me.

I think I told this story before here....I was introduced to ficker in the headlock sheptock days by a friend whos son wrestled for UoM. Ficker was personable and engaging during the 5 minutes convo.

Saw him again in St. Louis at nationals. He had army boots on, rubber duck pants and a fear the shell shirt on. Walked up to him and he remembered our crew by name.

Hes the kind of guy I would run my mouth to if I didnt know him, but I find him funny.

perspective is everything I guess.

I will admit that I find the outfits amusing and his lack of giving a damn if others aren't amused by them.

Good guess! Northern Manitoba on Waskaiowaka Lake. It was 41.5 inches.

His "he's the real Diehl" last year at Rec Hall was a pretty funny riff (after another wrestler was announced).

Call it an, "educated guess." Minnesotan for most of my life, but a nice fish you caught there.

 

[SpikingWhamos]

My take as well. BTW, he was noticeably absent from duals at MD that I have watched on BTN Plus so maybe he doesn't go any more for some reason. Will know on 1/21 as I will be at the Maryland dual, along with at least 4 other family members.

I'll be there with my family as well, would love to say hello.

Beware of trying to match beers with NoVa

Ah, Minnesota. I'm planning my first-ever canoe/fishing trip into the BWCA later this year.
