Discussion Topic: Big Ten Network Blessing

I have seen more wrestling (minus the NCAAs) at accesible times times in the past couple of weeks than I have in a decade. Thank you BTN. Wrestling finally has a media outlet and significant avenue of promotion. The Big Ten puts out a good product in terms of overall wrestling. There is some blandness to mat wrestling but IMO it is largely very good.

It is time for the respective conferences to flex their muscles and take back the power from the NCAA. (Well, maybe in 10 more years ; )

Would you guys like to see every Big Ten Match? If so we need to find a way to work with BTN to cover the "Dark Matches" that are not aired.

"Dark matches?" Is that a new wrestling conference for non-caucasian wrestlers?


Hope everyone gets the joke.

Zeb,
You'd be my personal hero if you guys could get the B10 matches that are not televised. Think about all the outstanding matchups that are missed because there is only one source that can televise it. This is a nice problem to have...so much talent in the conference but not enough air time to showcase them all.
Good luck with this Zeb, and as always we truly appreciate what you and the other guys do at Flo.
Mike

Zeb-
yes and no. I have a tendency to just watch the matches that I find interesting. Of a meet, there are typically at least 5-6 of 10 matches that I am interested in watching and will give a chance to capture my attention. I would be interested in the blacked out matches, but at this point I am not willing to pay a premium as I now have as much wrestling on as I can keep up with. Also, I will watch matches on the monitor as long as it is very interesting but I would much rather watch it on the big screen. Granted it is probably relatively easy to feed data from the computer into your big screen, but I am a generation ahead of you and I am not totally tech savvy.
Rex
