LOL...lowest nat gas prices in America!! It's cuz of all the hot air that comes up from #TheCounty.

Thanks....one thing I can agree with #TheCounty on...Flo is awful. Tried to view brackets yesterday and they had vanished into cyberspace. Strange that as an alleged leader they can't do better. And #TeamCounty did come thru on the original request...shoutout #TeamCounty!!! Like it needs anymore...

Got a couple days off to spend in the NorthWoods stalkin' deer this week...any chance of the preseason mag being out to have something to read while I wait for the elusive 12 pointer?

They're listed on Flo but my technological skills prohibit me from cutting/pasting. Maybe #TheCounty can help us. Good luck all.

"She made comment that when the other teams found out that the USA was sending a full team they were able to get their teams filled up rather quickly with the anticipation of wrestling against Team USA" I am not from #theCounty and apologize for hijacking the thread... Wait, so full teams/events with good competition expected promote participation and increase #'s and quality? As compared to mandates? Who knew! Somebody alert ISWA by driving to Indy and telling somebody at one of the meetings! Good luck Jesse.

Concur..great job. Well organized, manned, and executed! Having all those coaches present was terrific. Thanks to Joe and everbody involved.

Dude..you forgot something..#TheCounty..you're welcome. Oh, and Planes, Trains, Autos and BUGGIES...close to Amishville! Happy New (wrestling)Year everybody. Let the grind begin and/or continue.

Please let ClownBaby referee the match. Or maybe he moved his "practice" down to Roncalli???

Chesterton could have a formidable team if....I think they're in the DAC? Aaahh the old "hot stove" wrestling offseason rumor mill!

Not up on my central IN geography but assuming NoPutnam is not in #daCounty does #daCounty become #daNextCountyOver or #daArea (#daRegion is taken!)?

Still a few in the North (and ones with transfer rumors abound) that don't start til later this week and into next week. Can't wait...

Probably better for another thread as not so much Top 5 maybe but Col East and Jimtown interesting teams and some North guys who have notable wins (some in, some outside of season, admittedly) over some of those lightweights listed include Poynter and Dembowski and Mejia. . Another injured kid hopefully back to full strength that I think will be Top 5 at some weight is Alex Alejandro Bautista. As far as transfers, some interesting rumors from the NorthLands. #Don'tSleepOnDaNorth

Great win for Garcia. Dude sure knows how to pull out tough draws. #daState

Good to see JMILL back posting..must be off probation! Either that or else he thought 2 months was long enough for everybody to forget his promise to post the results of the #FS21!! I kid of course...#WelcomeBack #HappyMoratoriumWeek

Ok, I'll ask since it's been kinda boring around here lately...is this yet another indictment of the success of the ISWA 2 tourney mandate rule? I don't think 10 combined FF's for your top 2 state teams at a national tourney in your home state shows a growth in the styles, which I believe was one of the two outcomes that was hoped to be achieved.

Yikes. Seems to be a lot of FF's considering it's an in state tourney? Is this the norm?

Flo is the worst. Ever hear of a screen scoreboard? Think rollers white is in a prelim "play in" dual at 9:30 to advance to champ round tomorrow.

BigDanTeague...troll for the people=TripleB...troll for the mandate supporters (note did not say ISWA)..one and the same? Discuss... Pointing Fingers...whiners/complainers/trolls= Deflection....mandate supporters? Discuss... Nothing was wrong with the mandate except that it did neither of its objectives so it's time to move on from them instead of trying to fit square pegs in round holes and coming up with RTC qualifiers etc and saying it's working. I did like the dead horse video tho. Let's go back to beating that sucker!!!

Will we ever hear the results of the "Freestyle 21"? I'm guessing if they all did attend the 2 qualifier mandate it will be shouted from the rooftops...but if even 1 slipped thru, we will have nothing but crickets and it will be "move along, nothing to see here." And I'm not calling out any kid or demanding names and not asking for a J'ville lynching...just a "yes there was an oversight"...or "you all are idiots, everybody followed the rules" and move on. I guess I miss seeing BigDan or almost anybody ripping anybody. It's just a matter of fairness and "above board-ness". The questions raised seemed to be able to be answered by a simple Yes/No etc but instead it does appear to be deflection and calling out those raising questions/issues. If the anti-qualifiers are "bashing volunteers and kids" by asking pointed questions of rules application, then the "pro-qualifiers" are doing the same by shouting "whiners and complainers" to those raising issues/concerns. Acceptance is the 1st step to recovery as someone said on page 2-3 of this book. FS numbers and depth are down..let's admit it and proceed on. Agree with ClanCampbell...it's like the political process. There is middle ground, it doesn't have to be winner/loser, right/wrong. I was at state as well. I did not voice my concerns/opinions as I did not know that was the venue to do so. I would have loved to have seen an invite to a town hall type gathering of the volunteers and constituents to hash things out. I figured they were busy running the event so I did not try to corner anybody. That would be one suggestion/idea for improvement for JMill and MattyB...there are 2 events that don't have to be a board meeting scenario but more a state of the ISWA gathering where it is already convenient for constituents because they are already there! I agree that it would be very beneficial to put faces to names, but it works in reverse too...I wouldn't know many of the volunteers if they came up and bashed me in the face for being a whiner/complainer. Approachability might lessen the keyboard warrior and empower them to come out from behind the screen, much like less bashing might occur to the volunteer who comes out from behind the Wizard of Oz like curtain. I am sure everyone involved and volunteering is in it for the right reason and great guys, just like those of us asking questions and raising concerns are also ok people and not chronic whiners/complainers/trolls. Off tangent..MattyB provides a great offseason topic thread idea....Name that IndianaMat Poster! Since this is the InterWebs and anonymity is taboo (sarcasm) maybe we come up with a random 20 handle poster names and submit who we think they are...winner gets a cool IndyMat hat or something. I'll start....Fabio is actually former Pacer center Rik Schmidts..he's just trolling us with that size thing.

Let the record show..BigDan has met his 2 qualifier mandate and is now a proud resident of Indiana per his updated avatar info and provided his participation in registered events checks out of course. His voice must now be heard. Please stop and say hi when boarding the spinning teacups at Holiday World. I took BigDan as more of a "North" personality type ...you think you know somebody. Close enough to attend some ISWA meetings too! Deflect away! #OffSeasonProblems

BigDanTeague "deflection" response in 3,..2,.1....

There's a CIGAR Bar...in #TheCounty!!!!! I love this place...I get the hype now. Think I'm moving here....

Ill take "things that make you go.." for $500 Alex.

Nice! ClownBaby should be pleased.

Off tangent but sort of relevant to the issues..Does anybody know information concerning Tervel Dlagnev's appearance this weekend? Will he be doing a short clinic? If so, is there a specific time? Will he just be walking around for selfies with the kids? Considering there are staggered group starts, I'd like to be there for his appearance but honestly have no info and can't seem to find anything on the ISWA site other than he's supposed to attend.
