You might consider posting on the wrestling board too. I'm sure the wrestling fans would be interested.

That's great news. Good publicity for the program. Hopefully we get a little lucky this year.

Very cool, the only downside is no home matches and no Battle at the Birthplace.

That's awesome. You guys also wrestle at Midlands but that will probably just be the finals.

RU most likely will go 2-2 in televised duals. Would be cool if one home dual was being broadcast. I will definitely be watching and pulling for you guys. Well, three of the four at least.

It would be cool if they featured the RAC, but selfishly, since I go to all the home matches, this is a good result. Get to watch in ND on the big screen, instead of the crappy internet feed.

Four televised matches, and NONE at home . . . feeling the love. LOL.

BTN plus is worth the $10 /mo to watch ALL RU Wrestlng and hoops, and $15/ mo to watch every schools wrestling, hoops etc. plus the Big 10 Tournys.

Man, you guys bitch about everything. No other fanbase gets to watch as many wrestling matches as you on TV and yet some find a way to complain about none of them being at home.

Four schools are being televised four times, so not sure what you're trying to say.

My post was "tongue in cheek", I'm happy as hell its televised. We've come a long way to get to THIS point. Sorry you didn't catch my sarcasm; unfortunately the WRITTEN word doesn't get to pick up tone etc. I've struggled with that in some family e-mails as well, and boy, did they get me in some hot water.
