AC Computer Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I liked it. I think there were 4 regional fourths that made it out at FW. Only downside was that the first round seemed to take forever. It was 3 1/2 hours to complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duckunder Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Adding wrestlebacks may make things take a little longer, but the true champions will usually prevail. So, it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igrapple2 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 At Evansville, there were 8 number ones that went down including an alternate at 171 who beat a number one. Interesting facts to have the first year having four from the regional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 It waters down semi-state. We don't know who the "true" semi-state champions are with all the losers from regional now participating The "true" regional champions should be the only ones going for a "true" semi-state championship.

Y2CJ41 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Nope because he wasn't the "true" regional runner-up because he was from a small school. We all know the "true" champions and runner-ups are from big schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 That just really doesn't translate to well in text form. Y2 needs to have a special obvious sarcasm symbol that can be used to indicate such things. As much as he's been using sarcasm lately it may be helpful. I offer up this sign for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconsCoach Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Y2...what are you talking about "true" champions? I know for a fact there are two 4th place finishers at Regional that are moving on to state and beat some good wrestlers in semi-state to advance. Not sure what your problem is or what you are talking about but if you would, clarify this for me and quit makin' these guys that make it to state feel like crap and worthless wrestlers because they don't fall under your belief system.

fire77 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 it looks like 8 # 4 seeds advanced to state. i could have missed one though. pretty good. i think it shows they belonged. i would like wrestle backs but we have to take what we got.

Y2CJ41 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I agree with FalconCoach... Keep up the sloppy work Joe Caprino I could show you some sloppy work when I expose you and all your aliases couldn't I? It seems everyone in Indiana is so concerned with finding a "true" champion and not watering down the state finals with the non-true champions that it is amazing that people wanted an extra person at semi-state. It baffles me to see this especially when I looked around the Coliseum on Saturday and saw how packed the place was for the first two rounds. Giving more exposure to 56 kids(224 statewide) increased the attendance numbers at Fort Wayne. Adding exposure to the sport at its higher levels is great for the sport. I am sure there were numerous people who went to the Coliseum for the first time for a wrestling event and many got to experience the second best round in the state, the ticket round. I wouldn't be surprised if some of those first-timers become regulars to see the pain, agony, excitement and joy that the ticket-round is. I like the adding of the 4th place finisher, but I get confused when the same people that do not want class wrestling because it waters down the sport say that adding a 4th place finisher from regional doesn't water semi-state down. My only complaint would be to add 2-4 mats at least for the first round. The first round took, 3.5 hours, which is way too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becuz adding a 4th place finisher from regional DOESNT water semi state down and class wrestling does. ill admit, yes, it is a bit easier to make it to semi state, but this arguement proves itself when you have some # 4's qualifying for state if anything, it makes semi state a bit tougher from some other wrestlers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
