It’s not that the product is terrible overall, but the glitches that are there are egregious, illogical, and unnecessary, which makes it really easy to mock them for it.

What’s up with Flo? They cut the feed on Barr’s match before it was over, then they cut the feed on Cochran’s match before it was over. They’re taking dumb stuff to a whole new level. How can they be this incompetent this far into their company’s existence???
Told you all.

Cow catcher if you're from the Midwest.
I wrestled in District 2 in NEPA and our coach wrestled for West Chester and pretty sure he called it a 'pancake’.

I wasn't that bothered by it. It's funny but the biggest news today wasn't on the mats, it was the massive commitment PSU got from blue chip, number one recruit know both for his impenetrable defense and his dynamic, non-stop offense. If there's one guy out there who is odds on to be a 4xer and like go undefeated it's this kid. Of course I'm talking abou
well done!

Flexing because you predicted Flo stream going down?

Got any other wild predictions, Nostradamus?
Well, since you asked, I believe PSU will trounce Rutgers on Saturday. Oh sorry, I was just flexing a little, that was your prediction. You went out on a limb for that one.

Looks like a round of consis before semis
4 mats 4 matches per weight should take 1.5-2 hrs probably be 2 hrs plus before our wrestlers in semis so maybe around 11
edit to add... I assume after this bloodround, they will go 2 consi/2 championship bouts using the 4 mats, but that's just a guess

They up to 157 now. I’m thinking closer to 10 than 11.

Do we have any guys left in this consi round?

I really don’t understand all the negativity on Flo. Is it perfect - no. However, I personally watch PSU guys compete live that I wouldn’t see otherwise and am grateful for it. Today alone I’ll be watching PSU guys at 2 different tournaments. I also watch recruits and prospects in HS matches, freestyle matches from all over the world, replays and the radio show. For me it is some of the best return on entertainment investment I could get. I guess if you aren’t happy, you can always cancel and read about the action later.

The town I live close to has exactly one food establishment and I have friends who go out of the way to ***** about the price/food/service when most of them are well funded enough to open a place to compete or simply drive the extra 20 minutes each way and have a huge selection of places. Some people can't be happy. I also think this board probably has enough newer fans that they have no idea what it was like pre Flo. It is one of the few things I spend money on that actually seems worth it.

It took my dumb *** a couple seconds to get the joke. I was thinking “who the hell is ‘Abou’, I haven’t ever even heard of him yet?”

Flo's breadth of coverage is commendable.

Their drop-out glitches should have been fixed over a decade ago. That's fair game.

gonna be awhile for our guys as they are going by weight and waiting for all 4 matches at each weight to be completed prior to moving on to the next weight

you are correct and I mostly agree. I just want to see improvement! Also, would love to see them be 'the' wrestling site for everything.. take the approach of being the source, regardless of the commercial side of things (as the $$ will come). With that they would have to calm some of the rederick and apparent 'clickbait' approaches. But hey, I'm not running the company and they must be doing well
