Hope I'm not repeating another post, but the one thing I would have liked (or hopefully in the future this will be rectified) was to see flonationals and the high school national championships being held on different weekends. Then we would see some true national champions.Keep up the good work, I love the coverages you provide. I would like to see a tab for workout videos once again, they're very motivating for me.

One more thing about Flo vs. the other guys. I have dreams about some ncaa champion coming off the mat and telling quent kesenich or whatever other know-nothing-about-wrestling goober espn has working the finals; "excuse me pal but I'm gonna go over here and talk to the Flo guys."Now THAT would be cool.

Nick hit it with his comment that because of Flo, wrestling has grown. When espn started they took the major network sports presentation model and expanded it to the 24 hour format. The Flo guys took that whole espn/abc/cbs/nbc way of doing things and threw it out the window so they could start from scratch. The reason Flo is a little ragged at times and sort of shoot-from-the-hip at other times is because they're inventing a whole new sports presentation paradigm. Every time they do something, it's like a proof-of-concept exercise. I personally love the way they do things. For me the biggest mistake they could make would be to get sophisticated or more 'professional'. Their 'broadcast' of the Rutgers/Lehigh dual is a good example. They started before the match began, as the gym was filling up. So i'm sitting at home in front of the computer watching the guys warm up on the mat. Louie took a phone call from Gene Mills (i think) and PASSED it off to Bader. Now you just don't see that kind of stuff on espn and you never will. Roper and Fretwell did their early analyses in front of the lake out back for crying out loud! During the lead up to post-season tourneys while Roper did his analysis of a weight Fretwell was crushing empty NOS cans on his head. It looked like they did that at 3am because they probably did do it at 3am and it was AWESOME. And that's why i love Flowrestling.Of course they could use some help in a few things but i for one don't want them to change the basic principles they've been using from the beginning.Go Flo!

This isn't ESPN. This is flo...there is a reason why this site is wildly popular. It is unfortunate that some people don't apppreciate what is done here. Maybe you can go spend more time at ESPN etc. I for one wish this resource was available when I wrestled, and envy kids nowadays for having it. Everytime I watch the big ten network, or some other wrestling event on television, I think to myself I wish the flo broadcasters were doing this. Wrestlers are a different breed, and quite frankly wrestling announcers should be as well.

We will stream 1 semi final mat as well as the finals. We have also been filming a lot of round 1 and 2 matches and will get every quarter final, semi final and final archived on the coverage page. The finals will also be on Fox sports on a later date.

discman

Hey guys, we hired this tournament software because it is awesome and runs a very smooth tournament. I see your frustration and we will see if we can get them opened up for free.
