    "I have my scratch weigh in card, sir!!!!" McLovin Podunk High 160lb SSQ '19 "Looks good, son..proceed to the mat". RF Wrestling Commish #ScratchGate2020..not to be confused with #BracketGate2015...what a #ClusterF.

    This has to go on your IndiaMat profile somewhere ...heck it's my new credo. LOL..to stay on topic, of which I know you're a fan...I concur with Lee being under ranked.

    You can lead a horse poster to water the college board..but you can't make him drink read it, SWIN!!!!

    Also of note and I don't think it's been mentioned back here but the ACCNet is now broadcasting wrestling on Friday's (I think) as well so those of you with appropriate cable providers can check that out as well..possible Ty Mills action (just wanted to "Ty" it in to the thread topic of IN kids!!).

    Never Nervous Ryan Purvis state NR 113 Penn has a chance to hit the podium. High risk, high reward style.

    That snowflake took care of my sick snowflake last week by running to get meds for him! You did great, on and off the mat!

    I ask in all sincerity.....does your team allow "open practices" whereby parents can come watch? I don't think I saw one live practice of my kid in his 4 year high school days. If you do, maybe that enables the snowflake culture for your athletes? Disallow parents to attend and start coachin' those dudes up how you want..amirite?

    Not sure if it will play but can be googled if not... Good on Coach Harper @crosstownrivals and the entire penn program. Glad my son went thru the program. Special appearance by ref Troy! LOL...why is there a pic of @Y2CJ41 in the Penn wrestling room (about 30 second mark)? I shall have that taken down next time I'm there...

    This is an intriguing thread and one I’ve pondered as well with a kid in college and seeing a lot of IN dudes all over. This is just personal opinion and speculation.. A lot of these guys have been at it a long time and have attained a high level of success. College isn’t so easy. Almost every match is semi state level or better against teams and opponents you/they might not expect. If u take a couple losses you start to doubt yourself..and when you start to doubt you also start to question everything..is the time worth it? Is it as important as it was? Is my passion still there? Another big factor in my opinion is coaching. Not if the college coach is good or bad but just different! Most of these kids have had the same coach and achieved success with the same academy or high school coach in their corner for anywhere from 4-10 years!! Suddenly you have someone totally new..and different in approach/style/personality. So if you factor that in along with the less success or questions of themselves that also plays a role in the mental game. Lastly, but just as important, injury!! With every match seemingly semi state level or greater, the wear and tear on the body is increased and as the young body ages it also changes and doesn’t heal like it used to! Im proud of all the IN dudes I see grinding it out at all collegiate levels. It ain’t easy and it is vastly different in college. Thanks @blueandgold for raising the issue. Heck, it’s different as a parent so I can only imagine how these athletes feel!!

    Good on Mishawaka for streaming! I’m out of the loop as far as intriguing matchups but I do enjoy watching some wrestling as I’m hunkered down riding out the impending rain/ice/snow storm! Safe travels for teams/fans. Good to see more teams/networks streaming and Facebook living wrestling. Welcome to the 21st century. Go Penn!

    Congrats to three IN guys claiming D3 #1 rankings...Champagne, Rumph, Hatch. Several others right there with nationals on the horizon. https://www.d3wrestle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Ranking_7_20200114.pdf

    Yeah, so kinda like Johnny Wrestler from Podunk High who doesn't really have a shot at an individual state title now..yet class wrestling supporters are clamoring and advocating for class so he can get his title shot in 1A/2A!!! So let me try to understand, as I'm getting confused...take away Podunk High's bids and deny them the chance for "growing the sport" due to their participation in team state (notice I didn't say winning) and that's fine cuz they don't have a realistic shot at winning...but then the same poster is gonna say how we need to class so Podunk High can have a state qualifier/placer/champ and thus promote wrestling in/for his school and grow the sport??! This is not a shot at you, Scholar, just the hypocritical justification on here about taking away bid numbers from the smaller classes to go to larger schools for team state (notice I didn't say percentage..I agree that is about the same) yet then advocating for individual classes to provide more opportunity and growth. To me, limiting team state chances are worse because you have a "team" of 8-20 kids going to the event then back to school talking to their buddies about it as compared to one Johnny Wrestler going back and saying he participated/placed/won at an individual classed state tourney. Where's the Grow the Sport class supporters rancor? Beside boomer and WoodJC...and I"m not even a class supporter but I do feel the classed Team State is fantastic and I do support that. #Confused
  16. UncleJimmy
    This is a valid point. No I don’t wanna start another class thread but as it pertains to team state I think it’s spot on. Hopefully I’m just missing something ..

    Wabash update. Lotta top guys out yesterday but lotsa young guys getting great experience. Of note, Kyle Holman of Carmel defeating a national champ. https://sports.wabash.edu/news/2020/1/11/wrestling-wabash-places-fourth-at-nwca-national-duals.aspx
  18. UncleJimmy

    Broke that not day drinkin' resolution after 3 days. Congrats! Trust this was not the bandits original post..but good on him for editing.
  21. UncleJimmy
    @JMILL will probably facetime you on his phone for a free T-shirt...he's probably down to XXXL now. He's consuming the calories his kid isn't using!!!! I kid of course....#SarcasmFont. Or you could just ask for somebody's Track login like some #KnuckleHead did a couple years ago! Aaah the memories....
  22. UncleJimmy
    The lack of chatter concerning the event is sorta strange but here's mine.. Devault Penn #2 vs Keys #PainTrain #1.....rematch from last year's state bout. Hopefully a different result. And hopefully those darn stall happy daRegion refs ain't workin' this match!! I kid of course..I support daRegion refs...even if technically they ain't in the region! Go Penn!
  23. UncleJimmy
    BlueGold's lower weight picks should get @TeamGarcia back on the board!!! LOL.
