I don't know if it was posted on here prior, but you can see some good matches live.... http://www.themat.tv/2011-cadet-junior-nationals-live/ You can also view the brackets from here.

Coach W - That is a very well-reasoned response and I can understand your point. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. If they dropped the wrestling program or his course of study was in jeopardy I could understand. But with an assistant coaching change I feel he needs to honor the commitment Wisconsin made to him - free education - and to Barry. I don't think he will be leaving.

Jeez. It must be rough being married to you fellas. According to your logic, you should just leave your wife if you happen to stumble upon a younger better looking woman at some point. Hey who wants to stay with a 'sinking ship?' You have 'do whats best for you.' right?
-
First, I don't think you can retract 'information.' Second, I heard from a 'reliable' source that he was just scared of Brooks. So much so he packed up and left the state.

I don't know how you got off topic onto Howe... But typical Indianamat nonsense. Show no respect to the commitment you made to a program, coach, and school, and just jump ship whenever you think you might have some selfish advantage. How about he honors the commitment he made to Barry? No more honor, pride, and doing the right thing, just whatever is best for me today. Good thing you folks weren't around during the American Revolution or I would have been forced to watch even more of that royal wedding garbage.

Hey Jake - Any update on this situation. Curious as to how this turned out. Much like the results to a good Maury P. Episode

Wow. Sounds like you guys are pretty hard on the coaches.

Chris Fleeger is the New Head Coach at...
wildcatcountry97 replied to Drooke's topic in Past Discussions
One has to wonder if he gets in there to grapple with some of the kids if he'll take a dive ala his NCAA finals appearance. -
Title IX Nazi's start in on High School programs...
wildcatcountry97 replied to The Guru's topic in Past Discussions
Let's not get carried away. As usual - a few of you point out the EXCEPTION to the rule and put it forth as if it is representative. Sure Ms. Miracle and the young lady in the documentary are something to think about. However, not what I would call representative. Another point to keep in mind is that it is NOT just $. I know several wrestling programs that were dropped para T9 that were self-sufficient from alumni endowments that were shut down to add women's sports (lacrosse in one instance) that have lost $ since their incorporation on campus.) -
Not a supporter huh? sounds like a set up.... Anyhow, they indeed had a great year. However, better watch out for the wildcats next year.

I knew it had been awhile but, is anyone else a bit suprised this is Cejudo's first victory in 3 years? Talk about a break.

Best Idea- use the NCAA model - score it from the individuals! You DO NOT NEED CLASS if you score the individual tournament b/c a team that can only field 10 kids due to school size can put in the work, hire a good coach, and still beat a team with 50 wrestlers on the roster. IE: Team one is a big school, has 50 wrestlers on roster. They have 5 SQ, 1 champ 2 5ths. Tiny school only has 10 wrestlers on roster. 5 SQ. 2 Champs 2 3rd, and a 4th. Thus, small schools can compete with the large schools - NO NEED TO CLASS. And...it's fair b/c all individual wrestlers have the same opportunity to advance through the tournament.

UNO (Nebraska Omaha) recently announced that it will eliminate its wrestling program as a result of joining NCAA Division I athletics next year. Their coach has won 5 of the last 6 NCAA D2 Titles. " Maryville University has announced its intention to field a varsity wrestling program that will compete in NCAA Division II as an independent during the 2011-2012 competitive season." This becomes official June 1st, 2011. Great News for the sport!!! Another mid-west opportunity to compete.

There are several things to consider here ? not just one. 1st ? We should also be considerate of trying to produce the best product and have the best parody between weights. I have been a proponent for a long time of bumping up 103 to 106 b/c you could more quickly acclimate to 103 with less talent. ie: a young freshman will have a better chance at a state medal than the exact same talent level 145lber. 2nd ? As indyT pointed out, you cannot hand pick the exceptions to the rule and argue for your point with this as reasoning. 3rd ? 3 of our weight classes are within or over 200lbs! You have to be kidding me! As pointed out by a fan on the board ? now he has 3 weight classes he can skip at Conseco. This is the exact same point as my 103 argument ? a kid with little talent who is a 275 muscle shark can much more easily succeed than a muscle bound 145lber with the exact same talent level. Sure- give everyone their chance and make opportunities for everyone. But, we should have more weight classes in the middle not the top. When 21% of your weightclasses are within 5 or over 200lbs we have a problem. This will also greatly limit competition between the small schools and large schools as small schools wont be able to fill teams at the top and will give up a lot more forfeits .

Thank you for the stats, but a comment stating, "the ease of making it out of the Big XII to the NCAA's," sort of takes away your credibility. Yeah, the BIG 10 is good, Yeah the big 12 is good. Let's have an allstar dual - the Big 12 vs the Big 10 with all proceeds going to saving programs in jeopardy around the country. ?!?

Brock Morgan wins 2 State titles.
wildcatcountry97 replied to IMAWRESTLER's topic in Past Discussions
I seem to remember Cadet130 getting blasted for posting about 'out of Indiana' discussion on the "Indiana" board. -
Can?t believe The Cat has to be the voice of reason! What about traveling, going to camps, taking some local buddies with you, training hard, helping your community build a good program, and making your teammates better? Or I guess everyone can just move to the ?good schools.? I would imagine it will be difficult for any ?rural? area to improve if every time a quality kid comes through they move for better opportunities. Thank being said, to get back on topic, you are all WAY off base to come to the conclusion that anyone was somehow chosen over Bubba simply because Cael wanted it that way. He?s a punk-but we should all remember that if we outlaw imaginary guns, the only ones with imaginary guns will be outlaws. Ps. ? Tskin- If any of our talent decides not to move out sounds like you?ll get a fair shake in the rankings!!

"Notre Dame's nickname is inherited from Irish immigrant soldiers who fought in the Civil War with the Union's Irish Brigade, (consisting of the 69th NY, 63rd NY, 88th NY, 116th Pennsylvania, and 28th Mass. Infantry Regiments) Notre Dame's claim to the nickname is justified since its third president was a famous Irish Brigade chaplain whose ministrations at Gettysburg are commemorated in the "Absolution Under Fire," part of Notre Dame's permanent art collection. There are two identical monuments dedicated to him, one is on the battlefield at the Gettysburg National Military Park, and the other is on the campus of Notre Dame" At Notre Dame it became more common after 1899 (much earlier than the "modern era") with Notre Dame leading Northwestern 5-0 at halftime of a game in Evanston, Illinois. The Wildcat fans (Ironic) began to chant, "Kill the Fighting Irish, kill the Fighting Irish," as the second half opened... The rest is history. Common mistake from you folks down there, but Notre Dame used this far before Cathedral.

Congrats Nathan Boston!! Verbals to IU
wildcatcountry97 replied to Coach Williams's topic in Past Discussions
I wish some people would verbally commit to stop posting stupid things, like this. Who cares if a 15 year old h.s. freshman says he's going somewhere. Before you jump all over me, you CANNOT commit to a full scholarship verbal or otherwise at that age; Thus, IU didn't offer it. -
What match-up are you most excited for this weekend? 141 should be excellent all the way through!
-
I will Skype it to an address to be posted 20 minutes before the start if enough people are interested. *Curiously - by the same token - what is the official rule - does it actually say recording the match ? Because Skype isn't recording anything; simply transmitting. Of course if it mentions broadcasting my dastardly plan will be thwarted. Ehh, I'll still do it if enough people are interested.

It was only ONE sentence and you couldn't even read it correctly. I wonder if Jason Terry would have been that upset? (The 'would have been' portion implies his reaction had he been in the same situation.) ...And it was a jest, but thank you for the break-down of their completely opposite situations were different!

Yeah - No jorts - Let down

This got off topic. Lynch is correct - Deferring is a strategy to win in regulation so the kid knows what he/she needs to win in the third. I.E. how much risk to take, if they ride out the second they only need an escape to win, if they don't/can't ride out then they can adapt their options to what they need. But the goal is to win in regulation, not overtime, where sudden death determines it for the most part and a slip or 1 good move ends it. Anything can happen in that 2nd period. ie - 1st period ends 0-0. 2nd period you defer, and a lot of scoring occurs. Now 3rd period you have the choice for the best opportunity at the win. #3 - WOW. That was just one of those situations where you win - great call / you lose - stupid call
