  1. My response was to the argument that teams will now be put together to focus on the IHSAA team title through the individual tournament which has been proven in the past you can win with a handful of studs. If my comments about private schools hit too close to home and offended you I apologize for that. It must of been my idiotic public education I received. Oh and if it matters I have nothing against private schools and do believe that you should be able to send your kid where you want for whatever reason you have. (Which is not accepted by IHSAA at the moment) I just think the decision should be made before they are a freshman. I have no problem with the theory of "if you build it they will come".
  2. Does that mean that private schools goal will focus on getting the best 5 or 6 wrestlers they can and not worry about all 14? Would save a ton on tuition scholarships and let the public schools keep some good wrestlers. Sounds like a win for everyone.
  3. He said mythical. The best thing about wrestling is the fact that it truly is not about awards and recognition. It is about the self satisfaction you get when your hard work pays off. And if you can't see that facing the best "teams" in the state and coming out on top isn't something to be proud of I am not sure we are talking about the same sport. If we wanted recognition for everything we would "play" a different sport.
  4. I now officially believe tskin stands for thick skin. I am impressed with your ability to handle comments in a constructive manner. I am glad you are in the position you are in.
  5. I always run late. Probably around 6:30.
  6. Aren't you the same one fighting with the IHSWCA about needing to attend their meetings to get info? I am not going to join your little online boy club to get the info I need. Is it okay if I just text you?
  7. I think if we go by percentage of forfeits we should get rid of 106 and 113 and add some more up top. This will do nothing but help our sport and who cares about the little guys anyways.
  8. Logan Williams is from Dekalb and he did not wrestle today and has not wrestled Muncie Central. Unless you are talking about someone else but I don't see 2 wrestlers with that name in the FW semi state rankings.
  9. I see no problem at all with a coach deciding to not wrestle a kid if it is going to do nothing for the team or the kid. If you have a kid that is pretty much on the edge of hating wrestling because he is getting no success why should you throw him to the lions? It doesn't do the kid or our sport any good. The kid will probably quit at the end of the season and have a bad attitude about wrestling. As a matter of fact I think more coaches should do this.
  10. Can you make it after 9:30? Boys should be sleeping by then.
  11. If this is pointed to me in any way. Just know that I appreciate what you and the other coaches do and I use to attend the meetings before a job change and kids. Now it is all I can do to make it to the meets and a few practices. When things change I plan to starting going back. For now I enjoy discussing these things on the board with people that actually make the decisions. I don't pretend to have all the answers and many times there are things that I don't even think of. (IE ref shortage) Which is why discussions are good. So I am not some random guy I would post my picture but I will save you from that. Andy Oberlin Dekalb High School
  12. Fair enough. You might end up with a bearded Lopshire at your conference. And no one wants that.
  13. So are you saying that you have every single weekend booked during your season and it can never change? I agree it will be a scheduling nightmare and could not be done for a few years but I don't think IHSAA is going to budge on the post season or re-institute something they already squashed. I honestly just disagree that you are going to get the best teams off of last years results and that they are going to be preforming up to what they could be at the end of the season. But hey we don't get the best 16 kids at state every year might as well keep the status quo.
  14. I remember that discussion from last year. Schools need to suck it up and have their conference the weekend before sectionals. Like I stated last year this is great for a few reasons. 1. Gives a full season of results to insure we are inviting the best teams. 2. Gives teams the ability to make sure they are peaking at the right time. 3. For those teams that are invited it gives the wrestlers a chance to match up with some of the wrestlers they may not meet until Banker's Life. 4. For those teams that are not invited it gives them a chance to go watch some great wrestling, have a weekend off, or get one last meat grinder of a practice. This is coming from a person who's conference is already that weekend so I am biased. I would love to go watch this a weekend before conference.
  15. I think it makes for an awesome day of wrestling. And I think they are doing the best the can with the hand dealt to them. I believe it would be perfect if it could be done at the end of the season off of the final rankings. Predicting teams from last years results is about impossible. Yes you can see who they lose due to graduation but you can't predict who will show up and what stud JV kids that a team may have. I know that it is a scheduling nightmare but it be great to see it done. We are hard pressed to get much done through the IHSAA so we really need to support IHSWCA as much as possible.
  16. I will go out on a limb and say no. I think Jason can do it for sure.
  17. No Bellmont? Also I think East Noble is solid but they are going to have their work cut out for them against Carroll.
  18. Yeah but I really hate purple. I feel for him.
  19. So sorry. So 4 fused vertebrae? Also do you happen to know the exact vertebrae? Is it possible to tell me the exact throw that caused it. Belly to belly? You can PM me if needed.
  20. Do you mean that they replaced a disc? Or multiple discs? Does anyone exact information? Just a concerned coach. Praying for the athlete and his family.
  21. Off topic. But I got the chance to stand near Cosgrove this weekend while he coached. I have to say he does a good job with his kids and has the loudest clap I have ever heard. I would guess it is a great way to keep your voice over a long weekend.
  22. He said bull hockey. That is awesome. You better watch it, language like that will get you banned.
  23. I should be there if the wife gives me permission.
  24. A couple? Back in my day you could buy 4 for that amount. What is the world coming to.
