You know Hawk I respect your thoughts I've read many of them. I don't think you should be telling me to pipe down, until you or Nick has a son wrestle on MD team I'm pretty sure you are not there yet.
I think you two need to be asking some basic questions before getting on here and calling the team and the seniors out:
1. Did I do anything this year to help these guys have success? I know the answer to that is NO
2. Do you really think these guys aren't disappointed? I'm pretty sure neither of you will truly understand how disappointed they are.
3. You implied the seniors didn't have pride? I disagree with you and my evidence of this is that Castle qualified 8 kids for State, that was the second most of any school that qualified for Team State the only one with more was Mish with 9. I don't care who you are, there are days that sometimes a team or a kid is better than you on that day.
4. Is there nothing in your lives that haven't left someone you care about with disappointment? I would guess there is, (I wonder how they acted toward you? Did they get on the internet and blast you?) and yes these guys understood and cared about the fact that they were wrestling for the ones that came before them, and the MD families, and their coaches past and present.
Lastly I'm going to send you and Nick a private message and I can only hope you understand what the heck I'm talking about......
MD Seniors and Wrestling Team:
Were proud of you guys!! Regret is a double edged sword, you can use it to wallow in self pity and ulitimately gain nothing, or you can use it as a cataylst to propel yourselves to bigger and greater things. I know each of you will take this and turn it into something positive in your lives.
