Who does everyone have for both Men and Women?
Can Michigan State women take the title at home with O'Connor running the 1500 and Steeple and maybe the 5k if she is needed?
Are the Wisconsin men a sleeper?

Based on the entries I would say Wisconsin is not a sleeper for the men.
They're missing too much firepower in the sprints and 800. Plus their relays won't score too well if at all. Not enough from the field events either. I think they'd just like to finish better than 10th like indoors. A very uncharted waters type season for them. Sure they're redshirting some points, but I wonder if they have way too many eggs in the distance basket going forward.
Too many eggs in the distance basket, eh?
Didn't their distance squad put up like 60 points in outdoor last year?

Yes because Michigan State will have Leah O'Connor tripling. Are you aware they have a pretty good mid distance and distance crew?
Reminder: they won cross country nationals a few months ago. So much speed and depth.
Munley for the win in the Men's 800!!
I stand corrected. O'Connor will be tripling. Crazy!
Erin Finn is back for UM, already 10 and could double back vs MSU for the win at 5000. 20 big ones for UM. They have zero field events help though. So, a title would seem unlikely. Need to score 20 in the 1500 and another 15 in the 800 to have a chance with Offili running strong in the 100 and 110 HH
anyone else very disappointed by the "live results" provided by CFPI Timing?

No updates for several hours as far as I can see...

It's coming up on four hours since it was last updated and the meet is over. The only thing updated all day were some of the multi's events and the 1500's and even those were 30+ minutes late. Pathetic. Plus, the interface looks like it was designed by middle-schoolers.
The Big Ten used Branch last year and it was awesome. Real-time updates of field events, etc. And this year it's total garbage.
What a mess.
Glad it's not just me. That site looks ancient, and what terrible meet coverage.
yes, very frustrating, that website is embarrassing to the sport. I've been following #B1GTF on twitter for results, but haven't seen any team scores all day :(
And I forgot the best part. The "Female" and "Male" team scores were updating based on either heat results or Decathlon/Heptathlon individual event results.
I'm not kidding.
And now finally it looks like we've actual got some results! Let's party like it's 1999!

You mean 1995! And no chance for the UM women. Oh well.
Illinois men poised to dominate tomorrow on the track. Almost 90 points from rankings. Can Nebraska or anyone else make a run?
And the results site is a joke yet again.
Reading on twitter that Hardy from Wisconsin won the 1500 in 3;57.
Mich states Twitter feed has been pretty good with results, Fyi

Yeah, I'm trying to piece the meet together through the MSU, Illinois, Nebraska and Wisconsin twitter feeds. The results are there, but cfpi doesn't think it necessary to put them online.
I don;t know the exact scores but the Illinois has won it for the first time since 1994. Styrganek wins the 100, Zahn the 400 with a runner up in the 200, Viney wins the 400 hurdles and the Illini win both the 4X1 and the 4X4. Congratulations to Mike Turk and the entire coaching staff and team.
Yea serious props need to go to Illinois. 145 points in a 13 team championship meet is unbelievable domination. Turk has completed the turn around in a few short years. They lose some points, but return a lot as well with an elite distance class coming in. The Illini could be top dog for next several years. Especially if they can keep the elite in state talent home.
