The Big Ten wrestling Championships will showcase some of the best college wrestling talent in the nation. The Big Ten wrestling annually produces the top talent across the land. Four of the top five wrestling teams are from the Big Ten conference and five of the top seven. The defending team champions, Penn State, are the favorites once again this year but will be challenged by a strong Minnesota team who just won the National Duals Championship. Iowa, Ohio State and Illinois also have displayed depth in their line ups with at least a couple stars on each team. There are returning NCAA champions at five of the ten college weights 125 Matt McDonough, 133 Logan Stieber, 165 David Taylor, 174 Ed Ruth, and 285 Tony Nelson

How about the fact that they couldn't even get the scores right when they moved to a match already in progress. It was embarrassing. No respect for the sport. Why not just let flow take it over when its not televised? An average middle school wrestler could have done better. The mispronunciations were constant and brutal. Favorite observation "the guys who escape the fastest don't give up the holding time and we've seen that over and over today"

I muted the Macbook so I didn't have to listen to the dopes, just watch the action. Luckily I am in PA and watched AND listened to the PA states on PCN network.

The High School State Finals coverage announcers for Michigan were 10x more knowledgable about the sport. Send Steve Widzinski, Bobby Lahiff and Ian Stirton to announce for BTN. They would do it for the free mat side seats!

These idiots announcing the BG10 "wrestling games" with "players" who are trying to get "holding time" are pretty damn clueless. The BG10 prides itself on being the toughest wrestling conference in the nation and they have these clowns announcing.... pathetic. They can't even pronounce half the "players" names. Listening to this crap is insulting to anyone who knows anything about the sport.

Good wrestling. Should become great here in the semis and finals. The student announcers are doing a great job inventing new terminology e.g., "holding time." I have that with my girlfriend, but whatever. There's still a lot of wrestling left, so maybe they'll get to "cuddling."

Can't something be done about the horrible announcers on the BIG TEN DIGITAL BROADCASTS. This is an embarrsement to the sport un insult to the fans and so sad for the athletes. No wonder the Olympics are droping us. It's so hard to listen to, beyond description. I would suggest the tape be made available to all the coaching stafs.They need to agressively address this issue.
