My wife was yelling for David so much I really couldn’t hear them
I saw a woman at the social last night leave pretty upset when Chittum finished his talk. I didn’t see the front of her shirt but it was faded black with yellow trim on the sleeves and neck. Was there a woman with a hawkeye shirt on at the social?
Something that would make a delusional Hawkeye fan potentially cry; it was funny.
I was saying the same thing when that happened. You can’t call for your own injury time and David not get choice. The refs missed on that as well!
Cormier is a ****** announcer for wrestling. Period. End of story. He's only there because ESPN has a stake in UFC.
Couzens tries, but he's basically playing the role of traffic cop when Cormier and Burroughs get sidetracked.
Burroughs would be better without the distraction of Cormier, but he's got his own stuff to work on.
Rock Harrison, for a "rules analyst", likes to yell a whole lot instead of just providing solid rules interpretations.
Sparks should stay buried on Matcast.
Robles could be better with a better pairing.
Shawn Kenney should have the #1 seat, hands down.
Even though I don't care much for Tim Johnson, a Kenney/Johnson combo would be LIGHT YEARS ahead of the dreck we had to suffer through on the linear broadcasts.
Bottom line: There are too many high-energy screamers and not enough actual PXP/analysis.

I’ve always been a huge fan of JB, give me him over TJ any day of the week. Jordan knows a lot of these kids personally and has been with them out at the OTC. Tim is past his prime and reminds me a little of Lou Holtz. I also actually enjoy Rock but that’s my personal preference
JB has said multiple times David will win world medals. JBs way of wrestling heavily influences David’s. Jordan would probably take a bullet for David
I thought he was just trying to remind himself that Carr had the riding time point locked up, guess not.
Was in the bathroom afterwards and CC was also. He asked the guy next to him if he could hear his talk. The other guy said he just caught the last few words. Cody said, that’s good.
I like Sparks because wrestling needs an over the top cheerleader but the rest of this is dead on.
Shawn's a great dude and a real professional. Give him the big chair.
I will get a timeout most likely if I use the exact words and it was directed at the hawks. That should give you the gist.
Why I pointed out that one guy had no idea what he was talking about when he said all they knew about was Penn State and the most disrespectful commentating during his match. David and JB are very very close and JB would do a lot of things for David.
I didn't know who the commentators were but for every time they mentioned Carr's name they mentioned Messingbrink 10. He sounded more like a PSU announcer than a neutral one.
Sanderson could use some humble pie at this point. At least Gable always maintained respect for ISU.
