  1. When is Dingo gonna make an appearance from his car in the garage?
  2. The alternate fact era is gonna take some getting used to...sarcasm font.
  3. What's the difference between dropping down or bumping up in your scenario? Why is going down ok and no biggie as compared to bump up?
  4. Yet only 00.1% are?? I kid of course..and I agree on the predictions!
  5. "Does anyone think that the disparity level amongst Indiana wrestling has increased over the years. If we stopped sending JV to varsity tournaments would that help close the gap between the 20th best program to the 150th best program. My first thought is that it would be a good investment in the future of Indiana wrestling. It wouldn't make a difference tomorrow, but could be a path to help Indiana wrestling's future." I'm a newbie with no historical knowledge in the sport but I do feel there is a very clear disparity level currently. I do not, however, feel it is due to big school 2nd/JV teams wrestling at other schools varsity tourneys. I think it's more of an "AAU" type trickle down effect. You have kids who are serious about the sport now getting exposed to offseason camps/tourneys/practices and advancing their skills to a much higher level than those kids who aren't "as committed". Not to degrade commitment level, but there just weren't the offseason opportunities or knowledge of them that there are now for those who wish to commit to the sport physically and finacially. So those that want them, can easily find them and thus advance at a greater rate than others that don't. It might help the sport become more competitive in the long term, but I think it would be at a cost of top level skill deterioration. Doubt that's what we want. To GDelarden's point.."Again - my job was to build my team - not somebody else's team. So I felt like one way of trying to keep them down - was limiting these additional opportunities." This sounds like cutting off your nose to spite your face! I'll show you...you're 2nd team won't be in my event! Which, means your kids don't get to compete against better talent aka the whole Iron sharpens Iron thing? Cost is a major factor in today's school systems so asking AD's to drive cross state for JV tourneys just isn't feasible or appealing to strapped school systems.
  6. I hope this page ain't archived and dug up 17 years from now.
  7. Now that's funny! I was just posting I have sportsfan on my top 10 poster list. Who knew? No wonder XCARD was on the archive asking for names of posters!! He was probably looking to whip one of you dudes arse! LOL..so to refresh Sportsfan = vito blastdouble = Chinwhip city It seems Triple B and Donnie Baker seem to like eachother a lot? Any other double identities we should be aware of. Off to setup the AuntJanie handle!
  8. Vito Pepperelli (a personal fave) making an appearance! AttaBoy. Godwilling I have the same longevity.
  9. Just posting a paper article as we bash them when they don't. Sorry if duplicated. http://www.southbendtribune.com/sports/high_school/mcwilliams-lifts-henderson-to-championship-level/article_545d54c9-ff66-57eb-8925-75f4c461cdc3.html http://www.southbendtribune.com/sports/high_school/mcwilliams-lifts-henderson-to-championship-level/article_545d54c9-ff66-57eb-8925-75f4c461cdc3.html
  10. It means you and MattyB are gonna have to get busy making new Tshirsts for #TheCounty state series run that include #MostAnnoyingParents on it. Congrats! Sell them outside Bankers life on the corner...just a biz tip from your UncleJimmy. XL please.
  11. ClownBaby comin' in HOT! You shouldn't only post around state tourney time..your pent up rage is not good for you, man! You feelin' ok? All the winter road salt on the Audi got you depressed? I support ClownBaby..#BigFan but dude...How do you really feel?
  12. Thanks for taking the crown from Penn!!! #TheCounty...#UndisputedAnnoyers
  13. Penn has a realistic path to 14.

    Take your time..you'll be fine! Just watch what MattyB and TeamGarcia do/post and do the opposite! I kid of course. Couple linguistics for you.. #TheCounty...the epicenter of wrestling future..according to those there! See #YoungGunz etc da Region...the epicenter of wrestling past and now (their claim, not mine..or #TheCountys) Littell..don't EVER post this word..immediate thread lock so why bother, amirite? MattyB and the fellas can fill you in on the rest in between matches.
  15. I had not seen that. Knew he got 'racked' but thought he was ok to fight? You are correct, he is out. Bummer.
  16. Beastly12 = BlastDouble?? Discuss...lol. IP address check in 3..2.1...
  17. I know the Penn club used the high school athletes to officiate at their youth tourney yesterday. Hopefully it serves several purposes...one being that maybe a couple get the bug to become a ref down the road, and to give those kids a feel for what it's like on the other side so that they might have some appreciation for the refs and how hard and thankless it is.
  18. When does he/they start liking his/their own posts? I'm with JMILL on that issue...don't understand the rationale.
  19. How was the BlastDouble handle not already taken? I'm shocked..
  20. Shoutout Penn KingsLadies..state champs!! Good job.
