Well I noticed that he has pulled a few Submission tournament titles, so at least we can say he is above a novice at the ground game.
-
Are you sure he's a BBJ guy. All I've read about him has been about Muay Thai disipline. Which he is a stud in from the info I've seen. If he's also a very tough BBJ guy that always a scary combiniation. Reguardless of his BBJ level that still a tough fight for Elkins.
-
I may try to make it up there for this one too. I know Kinser has some powerful ground and pound if he can neutralize Bailey on the mat. I really don't like to make predictions when it comes to two local guys I want to support. I'll just predict it will be a good fight with the winner deserving some serious respect.

Well its a deep division. But here are the top 10 in no particular order: Notre Dame (the Zimmerman version) Lucky Charms (magically delicious) Hornswoggle (WWE fame) King Brian (Darby O'Gill and the Little People movie) Warwick Davis (Leprechaun movies) The Alabama Tree Leprechaun (Where da gold at!) Lucky the Celtic (Boston Mascot) Shado (World Largest Lebrechaun from Harvy Birdman on Adult Swim) Wee Man (dressing up from Jack*ss) South Park Leprechauns (from Imagination Land episode)

Great match for the LFC to get their hands on. The winner of this one will be on the bigger national organizations radar for future contracts (both have had had smaller scales fights with them in the past). All signs are pointing to Kinser looking to make a career in MMA after his last season at IU.
-
I believe he has been doing this for a few years now. Maybe he's moved up to Leprechaun #1 status!

Check your PM for info.

Following getting dominated in a wrestling match twice this spring by our 2nd year JV wrestler (only 1 win each season) the 3 year varsity QB is suppose to keep up his part of the deal and come out for the team. Well see if that happens. ;D

Classed Ohio Thinking about Separating Public/Private Schools
MattM replied to Drooke's topic in Past Discussions
Not sure of the exact number of parochial and private school in IN with an extensive sports program, but it seems like it would mean a somewhat small tournament in most sports. -
Not exactly the in-depth journalistic questioning most of rest of the article had but it was by far the highlight of that interview.
-
Some school/group used to put on a takedown tournament during the preseason. Wouldn't mind seeing that come back into existance. It seemed like a good concept.

After this one I'm starting to think Penn has truely lost the motivation to train hard for fights. He's obviously uninspired by the challenger at his weight to push himself to be at top level for an entire match. A lackluster Penn is not worth watching so he may be due for a retirement as a fighter. I can see him disappearing to just hang out in Hilo training with guys at his gym. Maybe his next inspiration can come from building one of his fighter into a big name since he doesn't seem to want to do what it takes to be there anymore.

I know the news was posted before but its worth mentioning again. Also,this is Indiana's 6th Official of the Year, which is 2 more than the next closest states. http://www.themat.com/section.php?section_id=3&page=showarticle&ArticleID=22443

University World Championship Send-Off for Angel Escobedo
MattM replied to jacksoni's topic in Past Discussions
Great news. Thanks for sharing that one Drooke. -
It will be intersting to see if Penn does get his "hunger" back. When he is on his top game not many people can hang with him but you never quite know if he is motivated enough to train as much as he should. The Couture fight is mostly a joke baring a lucky right from the opening bell from Toney. When this one is all said and done we should see 2 things. 1-classically trained boxers can not automatically become UFC fighters in a few months. 2-Toney will quickly have to resort to what little wrestling he learned in those two month proving that to be in the UFC even a boxer realizes you need something more. Florian is another one of those guys I just don't see winning all the big fights but he always finds a way to get the job done. Maynard will be getting a test against a now proven vet to see his his name deserves to be at the top of the division. Maia will hopefully be out to proves he's more than a one trick BBJ pony and Miranda need to prove he should be considered for big fights in the future. I can't stand Diaz when he opens his mouth but his lanky body does present a challenge to many fighters. Diaz also has some crazy need to always prove his self as a striker which can get him into trouble against someone with heavy hands like Davis (if he can get past the reach to get inside).

Look on the bright side. Next year it will be at Purdue with a bonus of having Nebraska participating for the first time.
-
Hope its just confusion with the Purdue site webmaster . I already convinced my wife to let me take the roadtrip to PU that weekend.
-
I can see a day in the futere where almost all sports are removed from being school ran and establishing a a European style club is the only way to participate. With schools being able to rent out facilities for extra cash. This will occur because of two reason. (A) Tranfers for athletic reason getting completely out of hand and thus losing complete sight of schools being established for educational purposes first. ( School have an even harder time finding extra money in their budgets to support the basic needs most sports programs. I'm not completely in favor of it but with the way things are going I'm sure some people will start suggesting it as a solution.
-
Well in Brooks case I believe we heard a similar rumor last year. If I recall it was started by someone that knew him who just to see everyone react to a top names tranfering. So we may want to hold that rumor with a grain of salt. However, we always have a few tranfers around the state each year that look like more of an athletic priority first and a as good or better educational sitaution an added bonus.

University World Championship Send-Off for Angel Escobedo
MattM replied to jacksoni's topic in Past Discussions
Be nice to get that raffle online. I'm sure several in the central and southern end of the state would love to get in on it to help Angel. Especially with many of those types of prizes available. -
I'd say at least the semi-finals and finals of the Capital City Classic at the very start of the season is a can't miss for those needing a quick wrestling fix. With the talent present you are either ready from day one or you will be taking an early season loss.

Yeah but most better education oppertunities could be fixed much easier and cheaper than moving a great distance to a far away school distract. Between tutors, college course they offer online to HS students, or a move to a school distract very close by familes have plenty of oppertunity to help improve their childs education without moving a great distance away. Education may be the reason most feed to the athletic association of their state but in most cases of good athletes moving to a top program it was finding a school in that area of the state with the best athletics that also was OK education and safty wise. This is same story with some parents saying they moved because of a new job. I have no doubt the had to move a great distance because the family needed to pay the bills and they couldn't find a job close by. However, most could have easily found a community with a great school education wise just 10-30min from that new job. But its strange they would then buy a house 45min or much farther from work that just happened to be in an area with a top sports program their son/daughter is involed in. I'm all for helping the kids out in sports but some people do seem to lose track of the education, community, and character development their kids need from them before the athletic benifits. In most cases if the kid was that good he/she was good without being part of that top team. So he/she already has the kind of athletic exposure to the the people at the next level who are follwing him/her withouth moving.

I wouldn't make much sense for it to be Hall. He would only be in 8th this year and couldn't wrestle HS in Indiana or most states for that matter. So it seems like he would either find someplace in Michigan he can train at for a MS season or go back to Kentucky so he can wrestle HS state again. Easiest answer would be a HS kid from the Chicago area toward a region school. But in the scheme of tranfers its not hard to fathom someone from say the Southwestern Michigan border trying to move to a tough region school, someone from Northeast Missouri or Southeastern Illinois border moving to Evensville area school, or even someone from west central Ohio moving Yorktown. Now I'm not in any way saying anyone at these school are trying to pull these kids in. However the kids at that high of a level and their parents both know where the top wrestling school this section of the country are. Then it just takes either having a relative in the area or a oppertunity for a job to make the move happen and go from being in an average wrestling program to being in a room with stud practice partners and a great coach. Personally I think to many people get away from the education part of things when they get so deep into a sport the uproot their family and move a great distance just to be with a top notch team. If the kids that good already he really doesn't need the new team that much. Plus if its under the idea of helping in educaiton in most cases that could have been found much claser than a great distance away too.

He should be near top of the list when the RC actually comes up with the rankings since he was #1 most of last year at 189. But he went out due to injury at end of year so he didn't meet criteria for the list given of last years finalists who are returning.
