I've suggested for years that BTN pair a pro with a rookie for a season. Then you have a new crew of people who can then be versed in the sport and then train the next generation. Now that BTN proper is owned by Fox, we get their contract guys (like Ray Flores) who have to do a set # of events in their contract for Fox, and BTN events get lumped in there. I've lived in Big Ten country for 10 of the last 13 years and have gotten a call ONE time to work at Minnesota for something - the Day 1 stream of the National Duals in like 2013 just when I moved back. I would have loved an opportunity like Student U. when I was in college. I had two TV games before I graduated college - one as a sideline reporter for Comcast Sports Net and another for a locally produced women's basketball game where I had no color or even on-screen clock. That WAS my TV sizzle reel. The amount of reps these Big Ten guys get these days is so valuable.

College sports departments are over staffed in some places, understaffed in others. One part of that discrepancy is the promotion of Olympic/non-revenue sports. Schools will not spend money to lose more money any more than they have to. Putting stuff on ESPN+ or FloSports, usually through a conference (not school) contract will put some money back into those schools’ pockets. Much of those deals are about FB/MBB rights. Alaska-Anchorage puts its mens hockey games on YouTube for free, whereas the NCHC has its own conference streaming plan. I think Atlantic Hockey is with FloHockey. Big Ten is on BTN+ (mostly) and believe a number of Hockey East games are on ESPN+. Wrestling isn’t alone with splintering how things get viewed. Of all those I listed, I can guarantee Alaska-Anchorage is the only place that isn’t getting some type of nominal kickback from a streaming deal. Anchorage is also a D1 hockey independent, so they don’t have the luxury of a conference contract. I’ve also learned while tracking attendance, some schools won’t even “staff” that task … and wrestling is one of the more difficult sports for staff to walk in and be able to cover since it’s so nuanced. Wrestling piggybacking conference streaming contracts is better for the regular season viewing with “wildcat” tournaments picking their streaming option just being part of the landscape.

Didn’t my former residence of PA also elect a dead guy? Wasn’t that the whole gag with The Distinguished Gentleman? Ah, I hate politics.

We were the Bulls ...

Dad didn’t want me to be cursed with his name (Grover) so this is what we got. I was in a movie with Rip and Dan Gable.

No one jumps off the page at me, but the 197 won some bouts at the Trojan Open last year and they've got a couple of kids from Allen, Texas on the roster.

Dual is at 6:30 p.m. central.

Finally to a computer. My access doesn't give me detailed logs on things - I was never the server or site administrator, I just had some next level mod/admin access when needed. What I can say is my post went through at 9:32 CDT. The only thing I can say definitively is I was browsing threads on Tapatalk when it blanked out. I opened the browser and posted the new thread. It appears the time the lights were turned off was 9:30 CDT, putting my post in "after the whistle" since I can still see what's on the board, but I wouldn't know I had any different access until after the fact. I had my computer packed up since I had an early flight this morning. So I TRULY didn't know what time they were going out, other than I tried to get one in there at the end, not to steal anyone else's glory, but to pay homage to the OGs with the lockup word from the previous iteration of the board, magistrate. My access didn't allow me any logs that displayed timestamps in a clean view. I never dove that deep into server logs, etc when I was at USAW. I may have looked at the admin panel 2-3x a year after I left 10 years ago. If they (logs) do exist, I don't know where to find them. The moderation view does allow me to click on an IP address and see the most recent posts from that IP, so that allowed me to see that my post was two minutes AFTER the last actual post on the board. Now possessing that knowledge, I moved my post to the deleted bin, so I can say the very last posts on the board both came at 9:30 p.m. - and based on the order in the thread, @GreatWhiteNorthgot one in, but @jross posted right after it, at 9:30. @ionel's post on the Last Word thread came at 9:17 p.m. Here's that last thread and the last three posts (not by anyone with admin access) on the board. I hope that clarifies it. I honestly didn't know everyone else was locked out when I posted. Now I do. Even in death, that forum was causing me a headache.

Bob’s knowledge is never in question. Guy is super smart, a man who served our country and helped rescue one tournament (Reno) and amp up another (Ironman). I mean divisive in the way people argue on the forums.

Bro, it’s the best I had at midnight from my phone. If I had known how much this last post thing meant to you, I wouldn’t have even posted. It was a separate thread that was dedicated to the OGs. I’m traveling today and might have a chance to pull it up on the plane.

This is the all activity view … seriously I wasn’t reading the last word thread. But if someone wants that title, I didn’t realize there was some competition for it.

If anyone was “there to the end” it was me guys. That board caused a lot of actual arguments in my daily life so you can best believe I was going to be there for d-day. I didn’t have anything to do with the time it was shut down, but I had that last thread in the chamber ready. I got no advance warning but if you guys want to take it, fine with me. I’m here the same way I started there … posting about wrestling with no special access, treatment or assistance and always with my name on it. Tomorrow I will wake up with zero reports in my inbox and no worries about what someone said on that board. Here, I’m just like everyone else - opinionated, sarcastic and sometimes correct.

when I refreshed, I got the notice the site was offline. I then looked in a private window and saw the site was closed messaged.

I was browsing on tapatalk. That access died and i went right to the board and posted. I didn’t have any advance knowledge of the shut off time.

In case you were wondering what the last post was, I got it in. @Viratas will appreciate.

TBF, pretty much everyone in wrestling called him Marty. I made a point to put his full first name when I had him in interviews at the training center and he’s in my phone as Kamarudeen, but it’s hard for a lot of us who met and knew him as such to not catch ourselves calling him Marty. I don’t mean any disrespect by it but it’s sometimes hard to not do it when I covered him in college and when he was at the OTC.

Remember the fax from Peanut?

One benefit to working in hockey now is I do get FloHockey content with my Flo sub. So bonus there.

He's gotta be close.

I always waffled on edit times. On one hand, it's to combat trolls from changing their message entirely or deleting something and them claim they never said it (oh, the battle lines of online arguments). On the other, I agree with @ionelthat editing a message for a missed apostrophe or a (damn you) auto-correct and not being able to quickly fix it is annoying.

Man, I wonder why they never thought of that? Maybe you should ask Myron Roderick about why they would ever do such a thing. Because it was against a post-collegian. They don't count those on official records today.
