  1. Again Joe your wrong, I complained when we beat Warren by 31 points and fell behind them in your poll (yes I realize they were missing 3 wrestlers)! Hey you do a great job for Indiana Wrestling, but you are terrible about taking responsibility when a mistake is made. Hey we all make them so welcome to the human race...
  2. You had the wrong team winning, and that's far from saying you didn't have a score reported. I'm sorry I didn't report the scores, but you reporting the wrong team winning had nothing to do with me but way to deflect the error. I said I thought Cathedral had the best team this year, and not the best team in Indiana history, or can you show me that quote. Dude just admit a mistake was made by the rankings people and quit blaming others!!!
  3. And beat Warren by 30 plus, although Warren was without 3 wrestlers, it would not have been a 30 plus turnaround, so what the heck is going on with these rankings...
  4. I spoke with the Forte camp this past weekend, and I quote "we are staying at 145lbs" so the ball seems to be in the other camp. Should be a good one if LeCount stays at 145lbs, I like LeCount but too close to call!!!
  5. Bernard was 5-0 with 2 forfeits (2 pins & beat the Franklin HWT 23-9 )
  6. I think your missing a fall at HWT, and possibly at 170lbs and or 182lbs, I would bet 2-3 gets a fall IMO.....
  7. I'm sure some short sided region fans think Al Smith is better because a single region team turned down a invite to team state ,,,lol
  8. I predict a 34-33 score to who ever wins, lol
  9. This team state should be a epic battle.......
  10. Will he attend the draw because they don't care how blatant the draw appears to be in their wrestlers behalf in the early rounds? I think only some outside attendee is the only way to stop this practice...
  11. Hopefully some Connersville people sees this and shows a ounce of ethics this year, and if no other coaches aren't going to be present at the draw than please invite the local high school sports guy to be there please! ???
  12. The gauntlet has been thrown down!Gotta love a Lock, lol...
  13. I think the odds are slim to none that these two stay at the same weight as the other, it would be nice to see but it wont happen! IMO
  14. Don't remember a year lately with as many Indiana kids committing to quality D1 programs, so lets hope we keep it up...
  15. Congrats to Vinny & family and what a impact Rutgers is making on their Midwest recruiting to go along with joining the Big Ten for 2014...I know somebody that's looking for a roommate ;D
  16. damn, certainly brought tears to my eyes an what a class young man. Tyler Willis did the same thing a few years ago against a young man against one of the Irish biggest rivals Roncalli, I'd like to think wrestling has something to do with the molding of the character of these young men!
  17. Basketball is the #1 factor and #1 in our state and the fact it runs during wrestling season kills wrestling, and now throw in that Indiana is now becoming a huge top notch football recruiting area. There are only so many kids people, but I feel the best help we could get are from these bball coaches keeping 6" johnny at the end of his bench to never see the court instead of telling him hey go try something else, because you are to good of a athlete to just be sitting. But that will never happen because he's there to win bball games and not to help out other programs I guess.LMO
  18. The rule as I understand it is, a kid can go where ever he wants as a freshman, but if he transfers thereafter he has to sit a year unless for a legit reason, so simply living in that district wouldn't I think justify a move unless some other type of hardship was involved because the family chose to go to school outside that district in the first place...IMO
  19. a kid can get a good education wherever he wants if he's hell bent on doing so, heck here in Indy kids from the worst IPS schools will go to the ivy league because they choose to educate themselves, but there are a lot of schools and sports programs that also just go through the motions... :
  20. The bottom line here are these kids and their families are going to go where they think is best for them, so these schools and programs that are loosing kids may want to quit worrying about things other than why can't we retain these quality kids. I'm sure this had to be a legit transfer, or FC would not have signed off on it.
  21. Agreed, and I think every parent should ask their kid this very important question prior to making a decision where to attend if going to college on a athletic scholarship. Would you still choose this school or finish your education at this school if you couldn't wrestle for whatever reason (injury, loose interest with the sport, don't make the line up, ect...)? I'm not sure enough of these young men are choosing these schools for the right reasons, like will I get a quality degree in a area I plan to earn my livelihood on, or can I see myself being here if I weren't in a sport! I know situations arise that leaving a school is best for some, but I think there would be less kids loosing and or wasting a year or so of their lives if more of them really understood the last sentence in the quote above by meluvwrestling. If nothing else I've tried to make sure my son understands that wrestling at a D1 college is much like a job, because grown men's jobs are kept and lost based on your success or lack there of, so you better love the sport at this level because it's no longer just about having fun, and hanging with the guys! JMO
  22. No wiseass but people who have insinuated Boston's not in his league, and people who treat him like a O my God, as some are doing on this thread are the types who fill a kids head and treat them as they are larger than life, and when these kids listen and start to believe that nonsense, it often leads to their lack of progression they were projected to become . The kids great and I repeat for the 5th time that I think he wins against Boston, I just can't be so arrogant as to say a #10 Boston verses a #1 Micic is a mismatch, as if the rankings have ever decided a match. As I stated before to MCKAJC statement, "that's why we wrestle the matches" or do you forget there was a time Boston was much more highly ranked then Micic, so that in itself says it all! :-*
  23. Mike Tyson was on a different level than Buster Douglas also, but the worse thing that can happen is for Micic to buy into that I'm too good syndrome. I don't think he thinks at all like this, but it all starts with people around him filling his head with nonsense. He is special but so was Tyson, Ali, and heck even Gable lost his last college match against at least a #10, lol
