    Has to get in on every thread....even when they don't #Pertain!!!!! LOL. To stay on topic....Carroll, across the board.

    I agree but am curious as to why you coaches and administrators think that is? Is it like this with any other sports? Did a wrestler pull the chair out from Faulkens in the lunchroom in high school and the grudge is real? Just seems that any administrator that would go to the State festivities on a Friday night could just feel the vibe and see the athletes and coaches giving their all and would have nothing but respect for the sport and athletes. So what is the opinions for why this isn’t the case? Just seems strange.

    I hear what you're saying jasonbk2 but I don't think it's fair to punish the kids. I think the adults need to step up in this case. If you're a kid in high school athletics, you do what your coach(s) tell you to do. You might have knowledge what you're being told isn't legal or fair, but you respect their authority and position, and your own position on the team, and do what you're told. It takes a unique kid to stand up to a coach, and ironically that might be what occurred here, although I suspect it was a parent. So I struggle with the life lesson that would be taught by not letting the kid wrestle when they were just following coaches orders, even if they knew it was wrong. The better life lesson might be for the adults to stand up, accept responsibility and self punish themselves. Yes, forfeiting wins is a punishment for the kid, but c'mon man, that's nothing in the big picture. Teach the kid what it means to be an adult and admit mistakes were made, offer restitution of some sort be it voluntarily sitting out the state series, 6 month off season hiatus (yeah, I know most coaches would think this is a treat not punishment), whatever is deemed appropriate and necessary. That would be the proper life lesson to teach a kid in my opinion...that as an adult, you stand up and take responsibility for mistakes. Tough deal, I know the Coach is held in high regard..but this is a pretty serious deal what with death occurring for this very thing decades ago. I would love to hear what @ClownBaby has to say about the issue. About time for him to come out and get the Audi washed for States anyway.

    You know how all the cool kids wear those glitter clown pants for state? Guess we know what any Carmel kids might be sporting this year!! Too soon????

    Not to make it a federal offense but... If I had a "decent" kid at say 145 (be it sectional/regional/SS/S) and he's going against the Carmel kid (again theoretical weight..could be any weight) and my kid gets taken out say in ticket round by the Carmel 145. If I was a coach I think I would want to look at the weight loss plan for the Carmel kid, no? What if one or more of his qualifying weigh ins, and more importantly his scratch one, came during the period when the #SuanaSuit was used? Seems to me that just wouldn't be right or fair, no? Maybe he doesn't make 145 without the aid of the illegal #SuanaSuit and thus should not have been entered in the 145lb class at all? I dunno...just seems we should be past this kind of issue nowadays.

    WTF was the Pit of Misery closed for cleaning that day or what? I remember wearing those things for baseball back in the day to keep the arm warm.
  8. UncleJimmy
    Well..technically if you go back to BracketGate2015 it's tied at 1-1....and I'm not so sure Faulken's won't pull something on this one either.
  9. UncleJimmy
    Congrats! I think you've been banned that many times on this one...well on the way to another. And you started out so well this time too before getting all up in your feelings. Who is Luke and Huckleberry? Is it an urban/suburban thing I don't understand, like "be easy"? Who is SWIN's "kind"? For the record, I'm Sargent Shultz...I KNOW NOTHING!!! So you don't have to ask.

    I think wrestling scholar has a fascination for team Garcia! Nowhere do I see team Garcia listing any counties or a fascination thereof ...unless he has yet another Indiana mat persona of MackG!!! SMH...
  11. UncleJimmy
    Ian @cgi369 please post your match recap for the paper back here when you can.
  12. UncleJimmy
    Respeck for what @SWINfan has built back here! Attaboy ..and yes I hope it happens but even more important is it on BTN Sunday?
  13. UncleJimmy
    In confidence order.....Allred....Rooks (if Warren goes 38 would slide this down a bit)...Cottey...South...Littell. "Sleeping on Zeke. It was a 7-4 loss in his 7th high school match ever to Moran.... " I understand the not sleeping on Zeke, but if you're going to excuse his loss to it being his seventh high school match how might his first state championship match under the lights with 8000 fans effect him if Moran has already had that experience? Not questioning the wrestler , just the rationale...

    Is admission free tonite? I thought I saw somewhere it was but cannot locate that info now.
  15. UncleJimmy
    Wow. Good on everybody involved..kid, school, coach...everybody.
  16. UncleJimmy
    Oh, Snap! We have an "outing". Dang I thought that was Doug Annakin..how'd I misread that!!! Putting a name to a poster should make @Mattyb and @JMILL happy!! No such thing as anonymous poster in their world! Good offseason board activity...Guess the Anonymous Poster! I'd like to start with @Novice Bat and where has he gone?
  17. UncleJimmy
    It is Bam...believe at grand view?
  18. UncleJimmy
