    I don't know if Lafayette Central Catholic beating 3A teams is you're best example. It would be very rare if that happened, unless you're talking football.

    I just looked at the Purdue site and it said it could seat 3500. That might work. It does have a full size indoor track. The Purdue site indicated it was a 200 Meter track. Can you calculate square footage of that. Unfortunately it didn't have specs on the size of it. Concessions would be an issue. You would have to have tables somewhere. But apparently they used to have basketball games there with over 7K attending. http://www.purduesports.com/trads/pur-m-fb-lambertfield.html

    Good luck to Portage. Amazing competition with perennial powerhouses St Eds and OPRF.

    The name of the facility is the Lambert fieldhouse. You could get 8 mats, or maybe 10 mats in there. It has a full size track so there is a lot of space. Also seating is around 3500 which might be a problem, but has a good view. I think it has adequate restrooms. But what if you included Holloway gymnasium where Purdue wrestles. Its a short walk, but not bad. I think you could get 4 mats in the facility. Might have to move some bleachers back. Not sure of the specs on the building. Just an idea. Maybe 12 mats total. Not sure what Purdue would charge for rent.

    But they are an indirect factor in determining if a team goes to team state as a result. It improves your chances of having a higher score when a teams regional and sectional are ranked higher or in your words has a higher "deserved" quota.

    With my son is a Senior, and we've been going through the college tuition obstacle course. I would agree with Y2, most private institutions have a sticker price that is 2x -3x higher than state colleges. But if you can get into these private institutions, you almost always automatically qualify for some type of scholarship that brings it a lot closer to the price an in state college. The trick is the amount of scholarship you can get is generally based on a scale that factors in ACT/SAT score and GPA. The higher the both the more scholarship you get, but this is always a variable factor contingent on the student. Throw in a partial athletic scholarship and maybe some financial aid, and you're doing better and state school tuition. . Ill add D3 schools like Wabash cant give athletic scholarships, but Ive heard the coaches work the system to get more academic for their athletes. My son was looking at IU, but we came in $5K per year better than IU with our private school tuition.

    Always amazed at Maligned statistical objective approach. 1. Maligned always has some data analysis that is much more objective and much less biased while being relevant. 2. If Maligned, who I think was involved in the team state seedings, he would feel much worse than any fan or coach if he projected any bias or impartiality on the seedings. 3. Maligned predictive statistics are normally correct and well within the margin of error, and the cool thing you can generally predict the outcome on his predictions. 4. On the flip side his predictions are normally so accurate, this takes the suspense and drama out of some events which is a bummer. 5. Like any other seeding meeting, sometimes you don't have head to head info to make a definitive seeding. You go with the best info you have. 2-6 in the seeding haven't done anything to differentiate from each other. Somebody is going to get a slight advantage from a better seed. But its not like its a super overwhelming situation you cant wrestle out of. What's the big deal that Brownsburg gets #2.

    I think this tournament still does a random blind draw, I.E no seeding. So the Athletic Director was probably up late last with his bingo ball machine pulling out names to get the brackets lined up, which is explanation for late publishing of the bracket.

    I think they originally had the colors mixed up on Track, as Track had Leonard winning originally. Somebody caught their error and fixed it.

    Cauliflower ear is cool and all,but one thing that sucks ear is when you jump on the treadmill and try sticking those ear buds in. I never get them to stay. It's annoying.
  19. Wrestling Scholar
    Ill go with Y2's polls for better accuracy. His polls are more or less based on head to head wins and losses, and are transparent because he lists the wins and losses against ranked teams. The coaches poll looks like it has a little more bias toward certain regions. I think some of the coaches over vote their region as they don't have visibility to other parts of the state. I think that's why the holes exist in the coaches polls.

    So you're saying he can never leave, but he at least found a way to check out.

    My kid wasn't wearing one in practice last year. Then he comes home after practice in the middle of the season with a bloated ear. Was pretty bad. I take it him to the Dr to get drained. Dr drains it, then puts big sutures in the ear. Dr requires him to take a week off and he misses a key tournament that weekend. Anyway his ear got back close to normal, I get a $250 Dr bill, and he missed a big match which hurt the team. He's wearing it in practice now. At least that's what he's telling me.

    Don't mess with Y2 on stats. Better have them right or you get called out.

    We'll have more clarity after the team state tournament and we have a few more duals under the belts. Too early to complain about rankings. And I'm sure MD will show up for that event and we can see how they compare. Its a good thing we have the Team event as will give legitimate validation to the rankings. Looks like the top 6 are undefeated in duals and obviously haven't wrestled each other. I could see any of those 6 teams win the dual team state.

    Prairie Heights is solid. They should be heavy favorites in 1A. There doing something right there.
  25. Wrestling Scholar
    Tomorrow night, you have Lafayette's biggest rivalry Lafayette Jeff vs Harrison at Harrison. Always a frisky dual.
