  1. All this math is making my head hurt Here’s my math to clarify things - if I have 8 pieces of Pizza and I have 8 wrestlers getting ready to wrestle the next day. - I’ll probably get only 4 pieces , cuz the heavyweight will eat 4 too.
  2. Let’s limit seating , but hey you can all go to Walmart and shop no problem. The average Wal Mart superstore has 10,000 car visits a day according info I see. No biggie those superstores are just safer than sitting in a stadium.
  3. I wonder if you could have crews sit at the table and give commentary - the mic picks everything up anyway. At ihpo I was cracking up as some kids were loose with their language not realizing it. Haha
  4. Just a different outlook - I am a proponent of wrestle backs. And of 2 class system. not saying it would always go that route , but those advantages you brought up are a factor as well. Im posing a question on the wrestle backs. Could it effect the small schools more ? Our kids who mad it over the past 4 or 5 years - would have made anyway I believe. Seems the death draw effects the larger schools more , but that could be because they have more kids there? So it would probably even out. As you say.
  5. I wonder if Indiana had wrestle backs - would the small school kid who got the best draw possible get knocked out ? Would wrestle backs hurt participation? For instance say there’s a death draw in the ticket round between 2 great wrestlers - wrestler A loses to wrestler B and now Wrestler C who was let’s say from “Wheeler” won his quarterfinal - loses in semi final - then gets knocked out by Wrestler A on the backside. I bet this would happen more often than not - it’s hard to get kids in the room when you only have 570 students- if you never get kids going to state - it will be that much harder. Having those announcements of kids placing in state or going to state is a big deal. I am a proponent of wrestle backs btw. I just think there could be a negative effect on smaller programs ?
  6. Whitenack Goodwin Estrada Make 6 possibilities IMO
  7. Rumor is NWCA is looking to host a national championship for D3 at the end of March in Iowa. Still waiting for more details
  8. Yep - it’s a great business plan. Get kids to pay to play sports - cancel said sport and tell them next year. We will give you a free season. You will give me 40k. I’m beyond pissed -
  9. Hmm let’s see here obvious ones Lemley Mendez Bates after that Frazier (don’t think he can beat lemley ) Goodwin (he’s close ) estrada ? Torres or JR ? Whitenack Bahl ?
  10. Ellis v Estrada - Torres V JR will be huge matchups for team The rest I feel have clear champs.
  11. He’s supposed to be going Mt. Carmel - not sure about his eligibility.
  12. Yep this - while at Wheeler we had a kid who had never played sports transfer from Chesterton and he wasn’t able too until their AD signed off. Which they did as soon as we sent it. If the AD signs off , IHSAA doesn’t typically get involved. In my limited experiences with this.
  13. Agreed Turley looked like he was going to run away with it , 2 takedowns in first. Cervantes battled back hard and took the momentum -looking forward to them in the finals Saturday.
  14. CP 152 #3 Estrada #6 Ellis #18 Pollit #23 Ponce Anderson (in rankings a couple times) Ponce v Anderson Rd 1 will be a good one.
  15. I can tell you when my son was getting recruited as a Junior who had been to Semi State - one of the schools we reached out to literally told me - he doesn’t have the accolades for me to give him a ton of money. In that same breath he said your son just worked a multi time placer from here , but without those accolades it’s a hard sell. He elaborated further , “well when I’m recruiting other kids - I can’t say hey I just signed a semi state kid from Indiana! “ This was a D2 school in North Carolina - for a kid like mine those accolades are huge. He didn’t do many off season tournaments as he played 2 other sports for most of High School. Our School has 520 kids - That being said for Colleges that recruit Indiana , they typically know getting to Semi State from some regionals is like getting to state in other states. My son wanted to go somewhere warm and those schools we spoke too didn’t really recruit Indiana and didn’t understand our system. So those accolades were huge.
  16. Was worth it ! I was very happy for you - you looked great !
  17. How about Roy Boys 2 off Ripley - hit that for some ink then roll a block down the road for a Buffett. This may have occurred for me back in 1994 - For a non native regioner I have some real region stories. Ha.
  18. The best are always in a garage off Cleveland St.
  19. I’m not gonna lie when I saw you from the stands. I was like did he ride his motorcycle here today ? Johansen going all in on the Sons look.
  20. Sorry but that stream can’t compete with @ontherise219 on the mic for Region Sports at EC - plus it’s free.
  21. Our boys don’t get the respect based on schedule, reputation and not being seen a lot. It’s not a slight - it just happens to pan out that way a lot. Kids with 1 loss come into semi state and lose to kids with 12. So there is a prove it vibe within the wrestling community. Especially if they don’t do off season stuff a ton and play multiple sports. My son is still salty with some folks for picking against him last year , even Though he had beaten guys ranked ahead of him and guys who beat some of them. Fortunately Tankersly gets a chance to prove everyone wrong this weekend. I’ll be rooting for him as long as it’s not against a GSSC guy. Lol
  22. Coming over to the dark side I see ! Diaz and Breedlove I agree. GSSC conference for life ! Ha
  23. Yes he was - was a very close match - I heard his dad was so upset he went out and ate dinner twice Friday night.
