Ugh, I missed the Bartlett in the hole on Mat 7. So @GregPickel, I'll take either SVN or Bartlett -- whichever starts 1st, and you take the other one. I should be good to then handle Luke's match, unless there is a crazy delay.

ESPN's clock and scoring brings back memories of them showing still photos of the boxing matches. We have self driving cars, AI technology that can write papers, create voices with just a few words of input, and create video recreation of deceased actors. Putting up an accurate scoreboard and clock is more of a 2050 thing.
Yeah, watching now reminds me of the old joke, “And here’s a Half score, Notre Dame, 7".

I never wrestled but its pretty crazy to me that these guys can keep the whistles straight when all the mats are so close together. Maybe its easier then it seems on tv but theres so many whistles and to keep track of what is yours and what isn't is awesome.

Tom please take Van Ness. I have a positively awful angle for Mat 2. Just tried to follow the match there and it's bad. But, 7 is right in front of me.

Kasak is in the hole on Mat 1.

@GregPickel -- it looks as though SVN's match got moved back on Mat 2. So I should be good for Luke, and then SVN. Can you take Kasak?

Maybe that’s his style, but I’d like to see more aggression.

These kids have been wrestling in tournaments with multiple mats since they were 6-years old. They learned to differentiate whistles early on.

125 R1: #1 seed Luke Lilledahl vs. #32 seed Marcello Milani (Cornell)

I'll use MM for Milani

Per 1
MM shoots and has a leg, Luke clears. Luke in on a single, and gets the TD, 3-0. He went for a cradle, didn't get it, then MM gets the esc, 3-1. Luke shoots another single and gets behind for the TD, 6-1. They are on the edge; Luke tries to pull him back in. He somewhat does, but then MM crawls out, and they are OOB with 52 sec left. MM is up, and gets away, 6-2. Luke drives in, gets a leg, they scramble, but Luke gets behind for the TD, 9-2. End. RT @ 1:37 for Luke

Per 2
Luke takes bottom. He's out really quickly, 10-2. Luke gets behind for the TD, 13-2. Luke works a half, gets deep, but then loses it. RT goes over 2 min. MM works up, and gets away, 13-3. Luke with a quick TD, 16-3, and he cuts him 16-4. Luke with a TD makes it a 19-4 TF @ 4:24!!!

I'll use LJ for Landen Johnson

Per 1
Kasak in on a shot, and gets the TD, 3-0. LJ up and gets the esc, 3-1. Kasak shoots and gets behind for the TD, 6-1. He's locking a cradle, and turns him, and gets the PIN!!! @ 1:38
