Wrestling Bill Walton

Silas is the best wrestler in the  History of Indiana Wrestling.   But I wouldn't put him above Escobedo, Tsirtsis, and Howe.   Those guys were the greatest.   Im saying Mount Rushmore brothers,  Rock N Roll hall of fame level.   Mason Paris, he also is the Indiana greatest wrestler all time.     Oh yea,  whats this got to do with Class wrestling?
 
Class wrestling has its problems,  Yea,  I love giving a lot  awards out for effort.   But you got to look at the big picture, the whole thing is better when its all one family.   Compare it to the Grateful Dead,   some of the members were bigger than others and maybe in a different class.   Jerry Garcia was big, and a huge musician like 4A, but the other members were 1A and 2a.  But you put the band together,  they all contributed and were bigger than the whole, and best of all time.  Yea,  take Ohio,   its parts are better than all the Indiana parts.   But  when you divide them up,  its not as good as Indiana. Ohio is like Creedence Clearwater, the greatest band in history of Western Civilization.  Then John Fogarty leaves,  they're still good,  but not great.  Its  like classed Ohio wrestling.

That's awesome!
 
How many years ago was this proposed?  I'm assuming this is a bylaw change, so when is the next chance for an AD to propose this?

So, this was a discussion after an athletic director proposed it as a rule change. I was just part of the explanations and not the proposal.
 
But if I remember the explanation correctly, the commish said it was not proposed correctly. If the proposal had said something to the sorts of competing against teams outside of the travel restriction, as long as they came to us or a neutral place within our travel limits, that most likely would have passed. But because the proposal was about lifting travel restrictions, they would not go with it and to try again the next proposal series.

I complete agree with that reasoning for our travel restrictions.  The top teams would go to the big national tournaments and draw in more of our studs from nearby communities.  The rich would get richer.
 
However, I have a big problem with the IHSAA restricting the travel of schools outside of Indiana.  Why do they get to dictate travel for teams from other states?  If a really good team from Iowa wants to spend the time and money to compete at the Mater Dei Classic, and their school and state association allow it, then who is that hurting from Indiana?

Indiana is the best wrestling state in American History.   Its almost as good as Ohio and Pennsylvania which are the greatest of all time.     There is nothing better than the Indiana State Wrestling tournament,  I went this year and it was just as good as the 38th Grateful Dead concert I went to.    But no state has IndianaMat, its a True Marvel.  Its the best site in Western Civilization.  Its almost a good as the Grateful Dead tribute site.
 
My buddy Dick Vitale, the greatest sports broadcaster loves Indiana Wrestling,  he's a secret fan.   He was telling me about all the Indiana Diaper Dandies,  and we wasn't talking basketball.  He said Wrestling Baby!!!!!!
