We need more Cyclones in Hilton Sunday!
Tell all your friends and family just how wild Hilton is going to be. I don't think the average Cyclone fan understands what the atmosphere is going to be like.

Not exactly sure.
Friend and teenage daughter (who's on a junior high metro area wrestling team) are going and invited me, so just got my ticket today. Three less tickets to the Schmuckeyes.
Cripes, now I gotta worry about this 6 8 woman sitting Infront of me.

Looks like we will have an extra ticket for the CyHok meet. Section 112 Row 3. Great seat near the mat. $150.

I was working on a story to help people watching from home and our casual fans but I realized I should share with you what to expect tomorrow.

- Media breaks will happen after every two matches
- They will be interviewing the winner of each match after the match itself and they will not introduce the next guys until after the interview
- We will have an intermission

Prepare for a long day!

Whyyyy? They’re trying to sabotage it. Casuals don’t want a 4 hour event

Yeah ya know, I think the biggest thing that shocked me was the post-match interviews. Everything else made sense I suppose!

There's already about a minute and a half between non-break matches as it is. Putting a 2-question interview in that spot isn't going to make it any worse.
This is going to be a long meet. Casuals going to tune out, and it will kill the energy in the arena.

Intermissions suck too. Outdated.

Literally the only thing different than usual, as far as timing goes, will be the intermission and maybe an extra 30 seconds per ad break. If 12 minutes (at most) is a deal-breaker, then I don't know what to tell you.

Why are we doing it? You can make it seem minimal, but why? Slowing things down is no good. People want a 15 second tik tok, not 3 hour dual meets that they don’t understand anyway.

I'm sure this is an ESPN thing. The price of a national TV audience. For that, those of us in person will manage. Still much better than the TV time out situation for football.
