Fabio Jr.

Going to be a blast in the BRAND NEW ROOM! come train and learn from a slightly mediocre Kyle Ayersman who won 3 state titles in indiana and placed 3rd once(to be fair though he wrestled babies)

Real talk one of the best Indiana wrestlers in recent history. Train in WORLD CLASS facilities Ill tell ya this would qualify us for a Senior Level RTC between the rooms and high quality fo partners. Plus ill be there so we can hang out

Very disappointed its on Flo.  Flo doesn't offer an event only purchase.

On a separate note, Joe is there a web site that shows results from past years?

As much as I know Flo is looked down upon one thing I like with them is the pomp and circumstance they bring. Their production values are second to none. As some one who LOVES the idea of producing events like this the final product is worth it. 

As for the subscription. If your a big wrestling fan I think its worth to own...I know not everyone has the money but the stuff they do is costly. A single camera can cost upwards of 8-10k dollars for the prograde stuff they use. We want to grow the sport so they need a payment modal.

I know this coming year I want to bring you all the best video coverage in Indiana Wrestling we have seen I want to do Duals of the Week, Big Tournies, Program Features, Interviews, etc. To do what i really want to and try and elevate the production value we are accustomed too i may need to do a gofundme or a patreon account to take donations to get new gear, cover travel, tournament fees if they wont let me in free, etc. This baby idea is just that but i know it would depend on donations from "viewers like you" lol. To bring this back around to Flo they do that but on a HUGE scale with multiple sports and events. Ill gladly pay the 150 yearly between US open, WTT, Fargo, Super 32, and the college duals it more than pays for itself. But yeah i am super annoyed i still see ads lol. Willie might be getting an earful if he shows up.

Joe is getting 5 star lodging at Casa De Fabio....

Is the popcorn any count? How much is it?

If brett lee is making it bring some water.....he is generous with the salt.....one reason poor old coach thompson cant have any...with his heart and all....its hard out there for a 147 year old

People do know that we can see who they are right? its not a secret....

its not about how ,uch money and what not its about how much the university cares about wrestling....spoilers not very much

^

it all comes down to when you have that bad match...kasper didnt get done what he wanted at state but let me tell ya that guy will be fine at MN. not to mention the partners he will have. I see a big career from him even after college. 
 

All good kids winning it for IN. I saw a lot of IN particiption. Its no Flo or Super 32 but ill wager ya when those tournys come around this year hoosiers will be very well represented.

Co Head Coach dropping the ball as per usual....

As someone who plans on attending next year since I'll have more time to organize and prep I told darrick I won't use the wildcard...I'm competitive and really wanna win but this isnt the end goal for me keep these kids out and get them to MS I'm fairly confident at that point we got em for HS

First order of business get miller

You cant trust @Kyle Ayersman guy cant even walk so how can we trust his word 

With the end of the High School season comes the usual decline in board and site activity. As a fan/user any content you would like to see this offseason?

I was being sarcastic, coach.

No worries that's why I was confused you sounded like Ayersman no disrespect or anything just friendly debate banter

So everything else is null and void? Yeah let's just not mention obvious facts and instead believe with our hearts! Vote who you want but like I said the answer is objectively clear.

Perfect example of why wrestlebacks are a bad idea - Lee may have been a 4-timer!

Wait why are wrestlebacks bad? Cause a deserving wrestler can compete for a title like he can in literally 49 other states

It's easy to go with Lee 

Super 32 placer 2x

UWW AA 2x beating a few college studs

3time state champ

WNO winner

Fargo Placer

Mason won nhsca and flo 

I think comparing those statistics on top of everything Blee was objectively better in terms of career. Mason did great but I think numbers show pound for pound blee went out there and won in much more difficult scenarios 

I wanna say a buncha woulda couldas no one is gonna keep up with Cathedral the way they are wrestling right now. Columbus East is going to need a Great finals round and some luck to have a shot.

Danny Abu-Shehab of Mish had 20 loses in 2010

I feel like I am beating a dead horse, but the IHSAA (and most competitive people I know) have only one goal for the entire tournament... crown 14 individual champions.  They don't care about class our second chances.  I can't quote the commissioner, but in football, basketball, volleyball... you lose once and you're done.  I know wrestling is individual but the mentality is the same in the IHSAA office - crown one champion in each class and move on.  Know it.  Live it.  Love it.

 when you have a coaches association who can't even agree on what they want, why would they change it. (Not a knock to any officials in IHSWCA, more the entire coaching base).

Most those sports are lose and you're done everywhere at the high school and NCAA level. Wrestling though, full wrestle backs all through out. ESPECIALLY when the team tournament is dependent on that. The amount of top level college coaches who have flat out told me our system is broken is enouhu for me to want to try my damndest to fix it. I know it probably won't happen but if youre trying to tell me that it's not the right move regardless of what ihsaa says because you want one champ then I just can't get behind that.
