Ugh, it is two weeks til tax day, I don't think I have the energy for this right now..... But I looked it up anyway, and my gosh their websites and state brackets stress me out. Even if they had a GeorgiaMat it would be hell figuring that system out. Still can't figure out what the order is from biggest to smallest. Caleb Henson was 5A, which helps me none. Either way, 7 is way too many divisions. Georgia had 1246 state qualifiers this year! That's insane! I just want two classes, or more qualifiers with wrestlebacks.

The top tier(in somewhat order) Pennsylvania Ohio California New Jersey Illinois Second tier(not too much order) Wisconsin Michigan Minnesota Indiana Oklahoma Missouri New York Georgia(sneaking up there) Look at NCAA qualifiers and All-Americans, Junior/16U/14U Duals results, Super 32 results, etc and you'll see most of these states in the mix. The second tier has good runs, then small lulls at times. Recently Indiana has been better than Michigan, but over the course of 10-15 years Michigan is slightly ahead.

The notion that Brands needs to go is about as ridiculous as it gets. Is there really any serious debate going on? As the makers of this video point out, the only team that has been better than Iowa over the duration of Brands' tenure is Penn State. So if you fire Brands, who are you going to replace him with? And what would the expectations be?

The Spring Clinic will feature Ben Askren! More info to come

That's true. I agree that we shouldn't put much value on populations or enrollments to evaluate relative success.

Imagine all the profiles you would have on the site, 7 times as many as you have now. Sheesh. I would have a profile on here, and most of my wins came from the other team being too scared to send someone out.

Great clinic from Coach Eppert last night. There will be no RTC at Mooresville on 4-8-2024. But we will be back in action 4-15 guest to be announced. 4-22 we have Coach Schmaltz from Contenders Wrestling academy.

It could be worse. Michigan doesn't even exist in a tier.

That's correct, there is a clear cut separation from the top five or six states and Indiana along with the other second tier states.

I think he is off topic just a bit, but bravo to you for a mention to former Major League Baseball player Dave Doster. He’s not quite as famous as Larry Bird or Bruce Baumgartner … or even Kurt Thomas … but he did ISU proud.

Just to be clear Joe: #1 Dave Doster #2 Larry Bird #3 Bruce Baumgartner
