Cosgrove reacted to TeamGarcia in State tournament class statistics to not necessarily incite class wrestling discussion
It does look like Idaho potato paper, looking kinda suspicious. I agree with @Cosgrove and @rookie78 .
My suspicions radar went off on the what looks to be a “B” up there . That must stand for “Baked”

Can make fun all you want but Fairhaven is a tough team.

Cosgrove reacted to julio in Team State acceptance list
You should have a coaches vote to see if they want Fairhaven in this tournament. As a 1A school, they would be real hard to beat, as they have had kids in the past that would have placed in state. Right now they have at least 2 kids that could compete for a state title next year, if they would join the IHSAA but can’t because they only offer wrestling and soccer at their school.

Cosgrove reacted to Mattyb in 4A Team State Qualification Leaderboard (thru State)
The thing is every kid is walking around about 20 pounds heavier than they were 4 weeks ago.

Cosgrove reacted to NW Indiana Wrestling Fan in Better than Indiana
Due to past experience in Michigan. I can say that INDIANA WRESTLING IS MUCH BETTER THAN MICHIGAN WRESTLING. Weather Michigan has 1 division at state or 4.. Indiana is still better. When I first moved here I constantly argued for Michigan with my team but it is very clear to me now that Indiana Wrestling is VERY UNDERRATED

Cosgrove reacted to blueandgold in Better than Indiana
A nice little back and forth happened on Twitter with one user explaining his disbelief in the Indiana State Finals format as he reacted to state-ranked 1, 2, and 3 all in the same quarter bracket at 182 pounds with no opportunity to wrestleback to place higher. Some Indiana natives defended the system believing it to be the “best,” and while I think Indiana’s system is good for the talent we have, I do think it is flawed and a bad excuse for what it could be. The natives also rejected the idea of classes and multiple state champions, and said we do have depth, and maybe we do, but not nearly the amount we could have if we ensured the best wrestlers advanced to the state finals.
In terms of wrestling success, I do believe Indiana is a top fifteen wrestling state in the U.S., but it’s probably not top ten. The states ahead of us:
1. Pennsylvania (AA/AAA)
2. Ohio (Division I/II/III)
3. California
4. Illinois (1A/2A/3A)
5. Minnesota (A/AA/AAA)
6. Iowa (1A/2A/3A)
7. New Jersey
8. Oklahoma (3A/4A/5A/6A)
9. Michigan (Division 1/2/3/4)
10. New York (A/AA)
These are based on national rankings, placements, and college success, and you could argue 2-6 and 7-10 are interchangeable on any given day. The Open Mat did a study in 2011 that had Indiana in the top 20 of wrestling states based on NCAA Qualifiers and All-Americans, but had Oregon, Wisconsin, Colorado, Virginia, Washington, Florida, and Missouri ahead of us. I’m not sure how true that is now also taking in the rise of some Texas schools and wrestlers, but I’d like to see where we fall.
My question is: How do we make our state better?

Cosgrove got a reaction from Jayruss in Pin their way through state?
Pfff Andrew Howe went through almost back to back years of teching every single guy. Think his senior year in the finals he only beat the guy by 14 cause guy didnt want to get up anymore.

Rickie Clark and Robert Samuels put on the best consolation match spectacle in Indiana wrestling history.

Cosgrove got a reaction from indianmorg in My first Indiana Post-Season Experience
Brought a good buddy of mine who was from Easton Pennsylvania to watch our state finals and he was blown away and said he kind of felt like he got robbed from a finals looe how we hold them. Have some fun and have many drinks

Indiana wrestling is awesome and always a top 7 state in the nation. With our few travel rules and training rules we will never be in the top 3 elite states. But HELL top 7 year after year is always good. Ticket round matches are AWESOME and my favorite are FRIDAY NIGHT DEATH MATCHES
