3. Just love Jeff’s multi-tasking commentary. He remarks on other ongoing matches, when possible, far better than the ESPiN goofballs

@GregPickel -- Truax's match isn't posted yet (mat assignment), but they are posted into 174. With Bartlett and then Haines set to go, I think we'll run into a problem. I'll handle Bartlett & Haines, and hope you can handle Truax.
I believe riding time stops with locked hands so Fix would have had more riding time even if he rode him out
Yes. I’m aware that he was sick at some point, but clearly it’s more than just a transient virus. Something more chronic.
Please, Beau, end this early. Your 3rd period dramatics are killing me.
I'm not going to jump to any conclusions. Whatever is/was going on, it undoubtedly impacted pretty much all of the 2024 portion of his season. And, there's also some wrestling things he can advance in, too. With both cleaned up next year, I would expect him to have a better 2024-2025, for sure.
Thanks for the condescending original answer. I appreciate it. Just lost a lot of respect for you.

Remember when everyone freaked out when Kasak lost in the first round? Yeah, could tell who was knew to the NCAAs with the Thursday Freakouts….
Can someone please explain Barrett’s back points. He turn the kid for a 1 count and then turns him for a clear 3 count and the ref gives him 2 back points. Shouldn’t be have received 3 back points?
It looked like the ref did a one-count, then the wrestlers moved a bit. Beau reasserted the back position, and got two from the ref. Not sure the gap by the official was justified, but I think that is what happened.
Sorry LB, but if the truth is condescending, then so be it.
I saw it as a completed two count, and the referee was halfway through his third swipe and, instead of finishing it, awarded the two before finishing the three count.
Byers certainly thought so.
My guess is that Bartlett titled him and got a 1 count. As that swipe was given, McNeil moved past 45º, then Beau moved him back past 45º. The ref's swipes looks like 3 straight swipes, but it's 1 then 2, so only 2 NF.
My other guess is the ref was giving a swipe as McNeil moved out of criteria. Most refs still give that swipe (it's kind of hard to stop them), but they don't count them as a swipe, and then Beau moved him into criteria so the two additional swipes counted, so it was 2 NF.
I've done both of the above many times, and coaches often question you on it, and you have to explain either situation. The optics are confusing, but the appearance of a swipe doesn't always mean it's a 1 count.
It was a smart a**, JO response. As a “media member” I would have thought you would have been more professional but you weren’t, so be it.
