  1. My opinion remains the same. With the depth of talent Indiana now has we need to find more opportunities for these kids to make it to State. For themselves and for the schools that work hard. If we can’t ever get wrestlebacks and/or more State qualifiers then we need to start looking at classing the State. Times have changed and so have our wrestlers. It’s time to do what is right by them.
  2. I have thought exactly this for a long time. Take these next couple days and focus on your family. They deserve you. Thank you and Merry Christmas you fellow psychopaths.
  3. Who is this person that has the inside knowledge of a Fort native?
  4. Dude I had the Diablo taco once and I have never made it back. I barely made it home.
  5. Not sure how long you have been coaching or if you are a coach, but I can tell you over the years, my opinions on things have been shaped by my experiences. About 10 years ago I had a senior that made it to the ticket round and had only 1 loss before then. This board had some posters that were talking about how he was overrated and would get beat in that match. He wanted to prove them wrong and he was wrestling his heart out and was up by 4 with about 30 seconds left. Their coaches and fans kept yelling that my kid was stalling, so he pressured forward and did a knee tap and then got headlocked and lost by a point. If I had a time machine and could go back and tell my kid to use the stall calls he still had, I would do it in a heartbeat. Now I coach to those situations and have that as an example. Thankfully that kid has turned into a great person and coach that I work with on the regular. And yes some jerk had the nerve to make a comment about how they were right after that match was over. I personally no longer care at all about what other coaches, wrestlers, or fans think in those situations. If my kid has earned the right to hold a position. We are going to hold a position.
  6. Man… that’s what my kids mean when they say I’m “Mid”. Christmas presents just changed.
  7. Keeping it local without the chains. We got some grub. There is a reason I am chubby. Love me some Fort.

  8. Depends on what you call stalling the last 30 seconds. If the wrestler hasn't had any stalling calls, he has the right to hold a good position, have good head-hand defense, and only attack if there is a clear opening. Basically don't force anything and cost yourself the match. As much as we want our wrestlers to bang and attack the whole match, this is also a strategy for the sport. Should a basketball team that is winning drive down the court and take the shot when it isn't necessary and they can let the time run off? Should a football team make a long throw just to try and score one last time even though they are winning? Yes, if the wrestler is blatantly backing up or running, call it and call it quick that is a gimme. But holding a position and not doing anything dumb is something different. Remember, he is the wrestler who earned the right to control the tempo and the match especially if he hasn't given up a stalling call yet. So many coaches and fans want to act like they got ripped off when this happens. Tell your wrestler not to give up the first 4 points, and this won't happen.
  9. Sounds like we are doing our job. New posters that are just looking to start problems aren't ideal. With that said we didn't delete your post or your profile. I don't even have a problem with what you posted. Just saying expect backlash. The admins just let you know we are here.
  10. Your first post out of the gates is pure smack. Not sure what you are expecting. If you dish it prepare to take it.
  11. It’s in the notes at the bottom of the link. Ranking Notes: Points are based upon rankings with the following values 1st- 20 2nd- 16 3rd- 11 4th- 8 5th- 3 6th- 3 7th- 3 8th- 3 9th- 1 10th- 1
  12. What’s your point? We signed up for the event to wrestle some of the best teams. That’s what we did. We lost some matches we could have won and we won some matches that we probably weren’t expected to win. It’s wrestling. We have plenty to work on and like everyone else a lineup to get dialed in.
  13. I heard depending how far north and how rural your school is will determine when you can buy your tickets and how many you can purchase. Good luck my friend.
  14. Meh… I have had quite a few state qualifiers that were not top 4 qualify. I have had many more wrestlers I have felt were top 4 not make it. This isn’t rocket science. Our setup is flat out flawed. End of story.
  15. Thank you for taking the time to write out all the States that have wrestlebacks. Please rest your typing fingers now for the rest of the day.
  16. Quit trying to be logical. This is unacceptable. Consider yourself reported.
  17. Word. It requires much more now if you want to compete at the upper levels. Yes the casual may be different. But the elites are a whole different story.
