  1. It's lets get better season!!! Tuesday evenings at Columbus East HS, 5-6:30 pm. Enter door 47 (furthest south doors of the school), wrestling room is downstairs on the left.

  2. Well this topic went a bit sideways. The intent of my original post and topic was that we as coaches have a responsibility to see that injury time isn't abused. There is a difference between an injury and using the injury timeout to collect your thoughts, breath, escape a situation, etc. If we as a wrestling community are ok with using injury timeout as a strategy, well then my friends, we are no better than basketball and that's a direction I would rather not take. Also, single class wrestling sucks, there, that should get this topic headed in the right direction...
  3. Mike, I don’t believe this poster has been on the board since before this weekend. Why is Hawkins asking to ban him this morning? This poster has been vocal all year.
  4. Watching this Iowa vs Wisc dual and Rathjen takes injury time as he’s getting taken down. Official gives the injury time, Rathjen continues after a short break and doesn’t give the 3 pt td. Reminds me of one of my biggest issues watching wrestling this weekend. Coaches allowing their kids to take a time out when the going gets tough. Weak. One of the countless things that separates wrestling from the stupid sports like basketball, no timeouts when it’s getting real, you have to deal with it. Dissapointing the programs that are ok with taking a breather for that mental break when adversity has set in.
  5. Where is Eddie Vedder when you need him??
  6. If the ticketmaster site is accurate, it seems the demand for these tickets was way overestimated. Visually it looks like 1/2 of the seats are still available. It would have been much easier if the max number of tickets you could buy was higher. One would think that digital tickets would be an option.
  7. I don’t think that was illegal, I would be curious to an official’s interpretation though. He didn’t tuck his head and roll(which I believe is illegal). The bottom wrestler did not have the top wrestler’s arms/hands tied up either. Only watching video with limited sound(which certainly doesn’t tell the whole story), minus the hand gesture, I see about the same behavior by the winning wrestler in both this match and the 138 finals at New Castle. Unsportsmanlike, probably… flagrant misconduct and DQ, no, not in either case.
  8. Matt, I don’t completely understand your position here, I’m not trying to put words in your mouth. By what you said above it seems like the issue is with the way a bracket is seeded if a replacement wrestler can beat the 2 and 3 seeds.
  9. Requiring all teams to use trackwrestling as a scorebook would solve many issues. Every result would be public for everyone to see. I don't understand why teams don't use it already. All your matches are online, you can look back in previous years anytime you want. This would solve the issue of questionable records, asking about commons, etc.
  10. I like our room at Columbus East. It’s newer, model year 2010, but it’s got a lot of miles on it
  11. There is an unnecessary level to the girls state series. 2 levels would be plenty.
  12. If there is a super dual on the day of team state that includes teams that just miss getting into team state, and Columbus East isn’t in team state, Columbus East will host this event. I’ve thought this is a great idea, and could eventually lead to voting all 8 teams into team state in mid December instead of using a points based system from the previous years team.
  13. Franklin Community, Indian Creek, Salem, Eastern Pekin all added Brown County moved to B. North.
  14. Much better experience after the first day on the exhibition mats and we got them to scrap the paper signup system. Didn’t quite get 30, but Hank the tank notched 23 matches over the 3 days.. . Olympians 7-3 overall with a win over Naperville who finished 4th. Youngest team we have ever taken, 3 rising seniors and 11 of 22 incoming freshman.
  15. Didn’t have the best experience today with regards to getting extra matches. Frustrating. Multiple dead mats, officials being told to stop wrestling exhibitions, exhibition mats being closed, etc. Definitely several steps back from previous years experiences.
  16. So it sounds like Morgan cost his kids a round of wrestling
  17. Indiana Outlaws Coach Breyden Bailey will be in tomorrow 4/24! We have had great numbers all spring! 5-6:30 pm
  18. Invicta Wrestling Academy Coach Knable in tomorrow (4/18)!
  19. What a fantastic human being! I wish I had the opportunity to be around him more other than just in passing at meets and events. One of the most genuine people I’ve had the opportunity to meet through wrestling.
  20. Coach Sean Schmaltz tomorrow, 5-6:30! Come get some freestyle action in before this weekends competitions.
  21. NCAA Qualifier and round of 12, Graham Rooks running practice tomorrow (Tuesday). Will be a full room like always! 5-6:30 pm.
