This Thursday, March 5th starts our new sessions at Zionsville HS.  We will host workouts on Thursday nights.  Wrestlers that are middle school and under workout from 5:00-6:30 and HS wrestlers workout from 6:45-8:15.  Please email us if you'd like to be included in these sessions.  We've got a good crew signed up and look forward to spending time with the dedicated wrestlers in that area.

There are only a few spots left in the CIA workouts at Cathedral sessions.  We're excited about the groups there.  Each group has multiple state champions in it.  Let us know if you're interested.

AJ,

I spent over two years in Portage trying to do exactly this and here's some of the roadblocks that we ran into. 

Most middle schools athletics are run by the assistant principal.  It would take a lot to get a school to change when the season is.  A lot of The Region has their middle school season from late Oct. through Dec.  It would involve a lot of gym space usage changes.  We had a pretty supportive principal at Portage for a while and he just couldn't do it because all the other activities are set.  Moving wrestling season would have interfered with the floor hockey league they had in the spring (I know...floor hockey.  Let's all roll our eyes at the same time).  Once a principal has a year set, it's not that hard to do the same schedule for the next year.  Changing a season would involve a lot of schools (everyone on their schedule) to do the same. 

There is a ton of middle school coaching turnover.  Not many stay at this level for a long time and a good percentage that do, don't want to change.

I love the idea of getting everyone in the state on the same page.  I think we'd need a middle school organization that the schools would recognize.  That is a tough job because of the extra work it would take for a principal.  I think for that to happen, we'd need a MS baskball association to join the fight with us.

No workouts in Indy on Wednesday Jan. 28th due to weather.

I agree Rat that upside potential is higher than downside risk.  To many countries that don't like us need it to be 60-70 at the cheapest.

I don't know if I want to get into the restaurant business with my buddy up north.  If I can steal one of my favorite Tharp quotes, "That's like putting the chubby kid in charge of the candy store"

Rat,

I believe that USO is an ETF that follows the price of oil from The United States, not the oil companies themselves.  How much to invest in USO to hedge your expense at the pump is tough to figure out, depending on how much gas you actually use. 

Actually since your first post the price of USO is down 10%.  A $1,000 investment would only be worth $900 today.

I think a much safer investment would be to open a JJ's Pizza on the north side of Indy.  I've been down here five years and haven't found a good pizza yet.  You'd make millions when the folks down here got their first stuffed chunk sausage and mushroom pie.

Because of school cancelations, there will be no workouts tonight at CIA NWI.  We will have a make up workout tomorrow, Friday January 16th at Hanover Central starting at 6:30.

I think the better comparison would be to see which staff is better looking...the Portage 04-05 coaching staff vs the 08-09 LN staff.

Hinkel/Mundell vs Weimer/Gondol

No contest here.  Anyone who has been in the checkout line at the grocery has seen the cover of Vogue and knows that gangley stick figures are in style.  Even though Weimer makes a good attempt.

Advantage Portage

Tharp vs Douglas

Both bald and soft spoken.  Only one has been described in the newspaper as a wad of muscle.

Advantage Portage

Alaniz vs Williams

Jared makes good effort, but can he really be expected to compete here vs. the 5' latin?

Advantage Portage

Might be a shut out if Portage can get the right matchups.

Hanover Central HS has been closed for this evening.  No workouts tonight for CIA NWI.  There will be practice on Monday.
