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.
Yeah, watching now reminds me of the old joke, “And here’s a Half score, Notre Dame, 7".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.
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.Ugh, I missed the Bartlett in the hole on Mat 7.

Agree. Totally crazy.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.

Maybe that’s his style, but I’d like to see more aggression.
Sounds like an orgy thing to me.Lilledahl is in the hole +1 (whatever that is) on Mat 7
Agree. Totally crazy.
These kids have been wrestling in tournaments with multiple mats since they were 6-years old. They learned to differentiate whistles early on.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.

1 takedown match? Ugh141 first round: Beau Bartlett vs. Jordan Titus, West Virginia

Second period
Titus takes down. Escapes to 3-2. BB leads 3-2 after two.

Bartlett d. Titus, 4-2
Yep. Another underwhelming match.Beau 4-2 vs the #31 seed. I'll take it. But by seed it was a tremendous opportunity for bonus.
Now, THAT'S more like it!!Luke with the Tech Fall!
