    Not sure which class thread to post to, but it would be interesting to see a random survey of IN state Placers (not champs) that are still in high school and also a survey of past Placers who are now 10 years removed from high school days and ask this question.. Would you trade you 2nd thru 8th place IN medal for a state championship medal in any Georgia class? I realize this does not include the same amount of kids from Podunk High as the data show they don't make it to state at the same rate as Huge High but would still be interesting.

    Wow great article. Wish I could tweet it without subscription.
  6. UncleJimmy
    Sounds like some new hangout guests.
  7. UncleJimmy
    Think once you buy it they're yours for awhile. The IHPO ones are still archived.

  15. UncleJimmy
    Da Region guy will be the one parking the 1986 Olds Cutlass with the White Sox hat in the back window next to ClownBaby's Audi...real close!
  16. UncleJimmy

    Also...where is the IndyMat Sat nite hangout this year? If same place is there like a wall poster somewhere or will everybody be wearing there IndyMat handle nametags so I can find all my interwebs friends?
  18. UncleJimmy
    Yeah..or just cut to him, tell him he's on and let him go for about 5 seconds, click him off and continue the hangout and then go back to him about 20 mins later and show him still talking about the SAC.

    I agree but what if their television partner exerted a little influence? If someone with wrestling knowledge can get to a Fox marketing higher up and explain/convince them exactly what "content" they are working with this weekend in the form of matchups/D1 talent and how they can in turn parlay that into RATINGS and AD $, wouldn't a tv partner have the muscle to exert some influence? Let's face it, FoxSports probably doesn't have a lot of knowledge about the sport but if someone can get an influential ear it could be a win/win. As we rehash how classing can grow the sport, this weekend presents a unique opportunity to get fresh sets of eyes on wrestling if it can be presented/packaged correctly....and especially young, just getting into the sport eyes of kids! My BallU degree isn't marketing so not sure how to pull it off but it does seem that if the proper people can do the proper selling of content to to the TV execs it could work. I thought Fox did a good job last year but now you have several matches that hopefully come to fruition that would draw a lot of interest. Of course, it would need to start soon so people watching Pacers or whatever is on FoxMidwest can get their interest peaked but it seems like it could be done.

    Concur. A vast improvement. I get the issues with bleachers but it was nice for fans to get to the podium for pics and for participants to have room down there. The staff was fabulous especially the fact that they didn't play bag police. And my Uber driver was fabulous! I didn't think $100 was too much to get to the Dunkin?? Of course leaving me there wasn't very nice...
  21. UncleJimmy
    There's another 3 pages under a different thread if you go to "prev" and go back a page. You're welcome.
  22. UncleJimmy
    So one should not stop for coffee at the Dunkin' Donuts by the school...even the drive thru?? Can the Uber drivers be trusted to get us to lunch?

    I'm just really confused as to why, in today's technological age, anything has to be "given out" at individual regionals/semistates. Even club level events have a pairing coordinator, amirite? So why doesn't the IHSAA tell Faulkens/Cox/Whomever to put out a memo that the brackets will be released at such and such time and to check the IHSAA interwebs/twitter site for links to said brackets? Is this hard? Why would someone be sitting at a site waiting to print up and hand out brackets in the 21st century at individual tourney sites? With last years debacle, it's just unfathomable that they could even consider to keep the release of the brackets status quo.

    52% for GatJr to 37 for the hoop dude. Ain't gonna lie..throwin' down 51 pts vs Lalumiere is pretty impressive, just not as impressive as a wrestler.
  25. UncleJimmy
    I'm not sure about champs per se, but I can tell you I have a podium pic from about 3-4 years ago and everyone of those kids but 1 ( another was injured his frosh year so ineligible and expect to see him there) has been a state qualifier at minimum. Not sure about the second part of your question. Good question.
