How soon into the broadcast does Jordan Boroughs start talking about his own accomplishments? Might be a fun drinking game? I say 30 seconds into to the first match, if not during the opening intro!!

Hah! That would have been dream technology when I was in school. I had to rely on my TI-50 hand calculator and we programmed computers using punched cards!
Taking propofol so you can sleep is like taking chemo to avoid haircuts.

My first gaming system was an old computer that ran with a cassette player.

I have slept through both.
FYI that the arena isn’t open/ letting fans in yet. Lol. The good news is that I definitely did leave central pa early enough this morning.
I dont believe it was. But I honestly dont remember. The person who gave it to me wouldnt have used it for games.
What mat is Carton vs Pletcher? I don't see it.
The ghosts of Iowa past visiting?
To update on PBP.
@SlipperyPete is planning to handle it
@GregPickel is at Rocket Arena. He'll handle more of the flavor at the event than actual PBP.
I get to sit back for the first time in 13 or 14 years (excluding Covid) and just watch matches, and will only handle PBP if there are multiple PSU wrestlers competing at the same time.
In short, we have the PBP covered in Session I, and all of the Sessions of NCAAs.

Pretty much one and the same, aren't they?
A live look in at the Slippery Pete Broadcast Command Center…
If I remember my alarm codes correctly, the “1201” reference that Tom McAndrew makes in the video means it’s about time for the first session bouts to begin. And 47 degrees is the projected high in Cleveland today. Go make some history boys!!!
Thank you in advance to Pete, Greg, and Tom, and to anyone else providing mat assignments, other relevant matches, scores, etc.
FWIW, I took I also took a peek at the HR Broadcast Command Bunker, and I'm pretty sure I just heard IRONHAWK say "Go at throttle up".
Or maybe that was johnstownsteel...
Tommy Mac may have moved slow after 2025, but that’s because he didn’t have to move for anybody
Fellas wish I could be there with you ( it’s a bucket list for me), but not this year. For the PBP guys, thanks you for extraordinary work that is going to go into this weekend. Let’s have some FUN and Go PSU!!!
