The 2007 Minnesota state wrestling tourney ended Saturday night. Plugging away on my tin can/string internet connection I was able to stay fairly plugged in. Either through the links the Guillotine provided or their forum I was a mere five to ten minutes away from match scores. Not the same as being there, but I got the info I needed.
To my knowledge Minnesota has never televised their state wrestling tournaments. Growing up in southern Minnesota I was treated every winter to Iowa Public Television's coverage of high school and college wrestling.
This weekend was also the Big 10 championships at Michigan State. With a little more hassle and shaking of the tin cans, I was also able to keep up with some of the matches and scoring...mainly from the forum at themat.com.
The past few years have been getting better for this wrestling fan. You can now see some coverage, more so on dish than cable from what I've seen. I can look forward to the upcoming NCAA championships televised on one of the espn's.
As for the Big 10 tourney? I'll get to watch it... Tape delayed sometime this week!

Not long after posting the above, I found a tape-delayed showing of the 2007 Dave Shultz Memorial International Tournament in Colorado Springs. Again, tape-delayed but give credit to ALT-Direct TV chanell 644.
