Where do you guys watch all the duals and finals etc? Flow wrestling? Is it a yearly subscription? Pricey?

Started coaching our local club a few years ago and I'm pretty sucked back in now. Looking to watch more!
Believe Big 12 network is on ESPN+.

I've watched a few on some version of ESPN or ESPN+
My wife handles our TV streaming and if she's not home it may take me 20 minutes to get to the right "channel".

Being a PA native and PSU fan....there is ONE bar in my area that has an extended sports cable package and has the Big Ten Network. I call and reserve my own corner of the bar and tv. Generally just myself.

I've been a long time FloWrestling subscriber. Think I was just billed. Maybe $160 annual with tax? I hate it. I am cheap. But I don't golf. Would never watch a basketball game. Give zero F's about college or pro football. And don't watch hockey. I'm either hunting, reloading, shooting or pissing with dogs....or watching wrestling.

Seems YouTube and those who post...are getting matches and duals onto YT within a few hours. If you're cheap....don't follow social media and watch the re-run a few hours down.

Flo does pretty good at the international stuff. I'll watch most of the international tournaments they cover. And they do a pretty good job of the Opens and Team Trials.

TV sucks you in worse than iPhones. A few duals will be on Big 10 Plus....soaks me for $69 annually for one or two duals I'm interested in. Flo will sometimes buy the rights and broadcast a dual or two. Rokfin will buy one or two.

End of the season stuff like Big 10 Championships will air finals on ESPN. And I think NCAA finals and medal rounds will be ESPN.

Not really. The algorithm feeds them all to me ;) Pick your favorite team and I would be willing to bet there will be several duals posts from this season. I think all the "big" duals from this weekend are up. If you're an Army, Navy, Stanford or Cornell type fan....those may be more rare.

Isn't Daton from Jenks, or Sand Springs? Close to Tulsa.....I feel bad for him in many ways. I say Kid...but he's 34 or so now....can never get it done.
I know what you mean but it sounds silly to say Fix "never got it done".
Undefeated in high school 4 time State champ
5 time Big 12 champ
4 time NCAA finalist and one 4th place
2 time Pan Am Champ
US Open Champion
Silver at World Championships in Oslo
2 time Grand Prix champ (23 Warsaw 25 Varna)
Junior World Champ
128-7 College record
More often than not he got it done. It's too bad the last half of his college career wasn't with the current Ok State coaching staff. Smith was a great coach and outstanding wrestler but I don't think he pushed Fix (or other Cowboys) to another level especially trying score the entire match (Suriano final)
Arujau and RBY were just better, no shame in that

If a guy doesn’t mind watching matches after they happened YouTube is great. I’m usually busy with kids so I wouldn’t see them live anyways. It feels like with DT at Ok State there actually may be a real rival to possibly give Penn State a run eventually. No beef with Penn State and I appreciate their greatness and what they are doing. I think it’s healthy for the sport that they actually look like they like wrestling and are not suffering through it.

I'll have to look for the you tube re runs. Any specific you tube channels to look for to watch?
Not particularly, sometimes its random accounts. If you have a YT account and their algorithm picks up on you watching duals/wrestling it’ll just start suggesting them to you

In all of the interviews I've watched since the split....NOBODY asks either Cael or David about the split. Cael does not even speak his name. Never heard him once say "Well....David is doing great things in Oklahoma and we're proud of him"

Chael Sonnen speaks of a rift between Bo Nickal and David....that Bo will NEVER speak about. Easy to see that Bo got bumped out of Trials years ago losing to David.

I actually got tickets to the Olympic Trials in State College last April. Was amazing for a wrestling nerd. But it was super clear. Bo and Cael were in Aaron's corner. They didn't mingle. Shake hands...nada.

Starocci throws shade at David pretty quickly given the chance. Just wondering what the underlying issues were in the room over the last few years.

Nickal is a great wrestler. He's also a firct rate @#%#@@& IMO. Can't stand the guy. Taylor has always been classy and easy to like. Kind of surprising that Carl would have a beef with him and hold a grudge.

Agree. It makes no sense looking from the outside but we probably don't know everything. We do know that Cael coached his alma mater (Iowa St) for three years then left for Penn St. Seems similar to DT with the added bonus of a huge pay check at Ok State. I really don't care about the hurt feelings or grudges. I want to eventually see a close team race in March including Iowa ( I can't believe I said that).
