    8:35 a.m. ET: We're off and wrestling on 11 mats. Every weight (mercifully) has 64 or less this year, so we should be out a little quicker.

    8:15 a.m. ET: We've gotten the "clear the mat" call, and there's going to be an Air Force ceremony before things begin at 8:30 a.m. I can see 4-8 mats well, the other 3-7 not so well, but I'll be scooting around to try and capture the action most effectively.
