Still have the mat?

Yeah, I totally understand a.a.turks. But... The most important question still remains... Do they still serve chili-cheese dogs by the dozen?

How'd it go today at the ol' Fieldhouse? That place gets insane. Any upsets? They still serve chili-cheese dogs by the dozen?

What if you put an all TEC of all time team together? What would it look like?

Ron Anderson, Winchester. IHSWCA coaching Hall of Fame 2004-2006, I believe. Multiple County, Conference, Sectional, and one almost Regional back in 1999 (remember that New Castle?). "Wrestling is more about life than anything I've ever known." --Ron Anderson

Again, since someone took my last post off, possibly due to the sheer effectiveness of the strategy, I would use: Either the Oboe, or the 7-Layer Salad. Depending on much stamina I had remaining. That's just me... Seriously, the Crane? Is this guy serious. This is a wrestling site, not Kar-a-te!

The TEC needs to get creative. I'm talking about some entertainment during the breaks. Instead of the children wrestling on the mat and jumping on the lounging wrestlers, I'd like to see some real entertainment. Perhaps WC could contact their color guard? Or maybe a "get to know your local basketball team"? I'm always a fan of an exhibition match between two former wrestlers of the TEC, but by saying that, I can not nor am willing to wrestle in said exhibition. I've got something horribly wrong with where my femur connects to my hip on the right side. As I walked to work this morning, I literally had to drag my right leg. I'm sure that was an interesting site, as the snow provided an eventual penguin-style belly slide with youngsters offering to push. Anyway, we still have over a month to organize this. Other thoughts are surely welcomed, and encouraged. "You gave us the wrong amount of near-fall points! You just counted to 4, we should get 3 points!"

I swear to god I had a pair of tweety-bird boxers I'd wear to face-offs.

Is there a TEC team out there that all buys the same kind of wrestling shoe, like in basketball and other sports? I liked the 90's era wrestling where "style" in apparel was fairly important. For instance, some guys would wear two different kinds of wrestling shoes. Maybe an Asics-left and a Nike-right. Plus, they'd sometimes have different colored shoe-strings, which I found as a wrestler to give a slight edge because of the distracting factor. I knew a guy that used to wear on his left leg only, though he shot on opponents right leg 68% of the time, a watermelon pink and green knee pad. Plus, the singlets were those upper thigh length style singlets that allowed for ample thigh slapping prior to a match to give a slight pysch-out advantage. Oh, yes, and mat-maids. I know some schools still have them, but in the nineties, those girls wore their hair big.

Can we maybe evolve the lame discussions based solely on predicting champions? Perhaps a discussion on the merits of the host school. Or a conversation about a wrestler who traveled abroad. Maybe the history of mascot evolution.... I'm bored here.

I love Conseco, but I wish they would bring in an organist like the good ol' days at MSA. Mom, get ready for tears...lots of 'em. Happy, Sad, Old men, middle-aged men, women of all ages, h.s. boys, even concession stand workers, will at one point in time over the weekend, cry.

Is there a spell check option on this site? I read the horrible grammar, spelling, and punctuation in the short time that I've been coming on here, and it makes me really want to get out my red pen. Two words: Come on.

...until I have to sit on the throne again...had baby-back ribs with the new bbq sauce from Chili's last night. Whewww!

Great topic. I always applaud the freshmen who make it to the Finals. Most people who haven't wrestled don't really understand this accomplishment. Most other sports have classifications according school size and freshmen teams. Congratulations to those freshmen who made it. It would be interesting to see a list of freshmen who have made it in the past.

It disgusts me that JayCo., the coaches present and the IHSAA made the decision to continue wrestling. Do you honestly think throwing percentages around is justifiable? 1% not in attendance because of the same circumstances would be unacceptable. Speaking of (read basketball) didn't the Yorktown v. JayCo basketball game get cancelled that very night? Wrestling is the most equal sport in the world. It is of the Natural Order. It's been tampered here like other sports where those in positions of power are determining outcomes. Want me to stop? Tell your buddies at the IHSWCA to turn me off. The opportunity they have NLCards is quite like being allowed to vote only if you pass a test.
