BlueBolt Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 How of the fans would you think take some sort of satisfaction when a wrestler from a small school wins over a wrestler from a large school? You know - the underdog wins - and all that? Be honest, doesn't it seem to stir you just a little bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Most people do not know which schools are big and which are small. Most people think Bellmont is small, but in terms of all the schools with wrestling in the state, they are big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duck_and_run Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I agree there still is that sense of taking down the big boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I really don't notice it much more when a small school kid beats a big school kid. It's a little noticeable when a small school team beats a large school team though. Mostly I tend to notice when a traditionally tough team gets beat by a lesser known team reguardless of size.

fire77 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Rankingsguy does a great job. I tend to look at the underdog according to the rankings not the size of the school. I have to admit I like to see the underdog win alot of the time, but I prefer a good action packed match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin2win1 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 If smaller schools are not wrestling a St. Joe county team (minus penn) i root for the small team or individual. By "smaller" I mean schools 3A and under. Notice, i said smaller and not small schools to make y2 happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decbell1 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Bellmont might be under 800 students by the time next season rolls around. duckandrun, on what sort of basis are you saying that we have a strong swimming tradition? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blane Culp Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 This same questions goes to EMD. How many times in years past, not so much right now, but in years past did fans root against the HUGE school of EMD wrestlers at State? I remember plenty of matches where the crowd went nuts when a wrestler from there lost or was in a close match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
