Ahawkeye

Need to move it over to EMD.  They keep that gym at a balmy 110 degrees.

It’s a freaking joke how they hype it up to justify the outrageous fees from Ticketmaster. Complete joke 

Just an observation, but the rumor we heard concerning State was that event tickets would be sold out in less than an hour. Maybe I am missing something, but the stands look around half capacity?

GOING TO BE A SHOWDOWN TOMORROW ! 

I’ve driven three hours each way to the state finals for 45 years. Quit being a baby.

Announcers are all solid. There have been some painful ones in the past. 

Why is there glitter on some of the mats?

As stated before will call employees were VERY nice. They didn't botch this, IHSAA and ticketmaster need to get their stuff straight.

Country song lyrics for "Disappointed" - written by ChatGPT and including your line
 
(Verse 1)
In this small town bar, where dreams come to die,
I stumbled upon your gaze, caught in your sigh.
Thought you were the one, my heart held the plot,
Having finally met some face to face, I'd rather not.
 
(Chorus) Disappointed in love, like a worn-out song,
Whiskey-soaked sorrows, where did I go wrong?
You were the promise, now just a faded thought,
Having finally met some face to face, I'd rather not.
 
(Verse 2) Neon lights flicker, shadows on the wall,
Memories of us, like leaves in the fall.
Your smile was a map, now it's all forgot,
Having finally met some face to face, I'd rather not.
 
(Chorus) Disappointed in love, like a worn-out song,
Whiskey-soaked sorrows, where did I go wrong?
You were the promise, now just a faded thought,
Having finally met some face to face, I'd rather not.
 
(Bridge) Broken pieces of a heart, scattered on the floor,
The jukebox playing, can't take it no more.
The dance we started, now a painful waltz,
Having finally met some face to face, it's my fault.
 
(Verse 3) Dusty boots, lonely road, a cowboy's fate,
I'll ride into the sunset, leave love to its state.
No more second chances, no lessons to be taught,
Having finally met some face to face, I'd rather not.
 
(Chorus) Disappointed in love, like a worn-out song,
Whiskey-soaked sorrows, where did I go wrong?
You were the promise, now just a faded thought,
Having finally met some face to face, I'd rather not.
 
(Outro) So here I am, beneath the moonlit sky,
Searching for answers, wondering why.
Love's a gamble, a game I forgot,
Having finally met some face to face, I'd rather not.
 

I would like to pay forward a gift that was just given to my family from the Bell Family. I have some Friday and Saturday sessions I would like to gift to someone else with a child wrestling. I have 3 Friday session tickets in section 117 (1) & (2), 4 Saturday morning sessions sections 109 (2) and 117 (2), and 2 Saturday evening sessions section 117 (2). The Bell’s have given my family the opportunity to sit together as a unit and not be separated all over the gym and I would love to pay this forward. Please reach out. 

No worries. just trying to stay focused and centered putting all the lacking organizational IHSAA and Ticketmaster deflecting leadership on the back seat. Given the demand I had myself and another #TheCounty rep try to get 6 at the same time and ended up with 12. Won't have a dog in the fight until next year but it just makes me sad for Indiana wrestling. 
 
All Please reach out if you need tix....I do not want these tickets to go to waste. Note...I DO have to wait in line tomorrow AM to pick these up (SMH) but am willing to pass them off for free if you have a family member wrestling any session. Just DM me and I can give you my cell. See you all down there.

Friendship Diner gets my vote but Kite and Key is good as well, K&K might be crowded if you're not early enough but Friendship has plenty of seating and the food is awesome at both.

Been waiting for this one!
 
As far as a beef polish yes I would say Triple B hit it on the head with Gerst house.
 
My pizza recommendations are as follows: Spanky's Pizza, Broadway Pizza this one is a little bit out of the way. Or Turoni's Pizza. Knowing that time is of the essence sometimes you might want to call ahead and order to go at all three places.
 
If you go down to Franklin Street on one of the shuttles you really should try the Pizza King stromboli it's true they are a little hit and miss at times but if you get a good one you'll know it!
 
My favorite Chinese restaurant is a place called Yen Ching on Green River Road I love ordering their entrees extra spicy but you better have a plan for a bathroom afterwards! I hear China Bistro is good but I've never been there.
 
The Hilltop Inn is Good Ol' Tavern food! Plenty of fried Delicacies to be had!
 
If you are of age and are looking to have some fun after finals the casino is obviously nearby and there are several bars that stay open late on Franklin Street my favorite of these is called the Sportsman's not a lot of Flash but plenty of pool tables if that's your thing.
 
If you're looking for flash try Chasers or buds bar also on Franklin. Bud's has a loaded nachos platter that is out of this world!
 
If you brought your wallet and you went a good steak you can try Cavanaugh's in the casino District or you can try Cork and cleaver I would suggest reservations on both.
 
If you are willing to Brave going to the outskirts of Evansville there are a few bars and taverns that get my nod as well but if you're really interested in those let me know and I'll send you that way.

If you go to Hilltop you have to try a Brain Sandwich. 

Good recommendation, but it is Parkway Pizza, not Broadway.  It is on Broadway ave.
 
Angelo's on Main is good Italian.  Zuki on main if you want hibachi/sushi.  Sauced in the Hainey's corner area is excellent.  Kite and Key on Franklin for breakfast is awesome, but get there early.  Or pick up Donut Bank if you are in a hurry.

German food and country cookin'! Ya'll going to the South!
 
@Christopher Bohn should totally do a state finals hot dog review though.  

It's really hard to believe in this day and age, especially with Amazon, that we cannot have a better platform than Ticketmaster.

Family of 10 here- We salute you, Ticketmaster for the enjoyable process of getting everyone seats to watch their brother wrestle this weekend 🤣

Still working on it and still not selling as of right now. 

Markio I’m glad we have you connected with the wrestling community.  For years you have played the roles of point man, trouble shooter, or information guru for us on any Ford Center events.  We would be in a deeper state of confusion and chaos on this matter and other previous ones if you weren’t around.  Thanks for the added time you put in try to help the wrestlers, coaches, and fans.
