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.

Mike, you guys run an awesome board.  I agree with your non-censorship posture.
 
Shade is cast on DogPound, not CP.  As is a long tradition on Indiana Mat, chest-beaters are susceptible to a verbal beat-down.  
 
This board does a great job of self-regulation.  A few years ago, a certain freshman from Hobart had a coach who would not/could not stop beating the drum.  It took the boy's mother to come on the board and call him out to end the madness.
 
"Adult" egos writing checks for kids to cash is always a head scratcher.
 
Let DogPound take his medicine.
 
 

Honorable Mention: the music selection was horrendous.. nothing like warming up for one of the biggest matches of your career to the Disney on Ice soundtrack.

Congrats to the Wayne. I'm a Region guy, but I have to give props where it is due. As for Da Region, sometimes you"re the windshield sometimes you're the bug.

“It’s what the coaches want”. Lol

Congratulations to Luke Penola for winning the mental attitude award at the state finals. Luke didn’t reach his goal of winning a state title but he walked out of the arena with his head held high. He is one of the best leaders, wrestlers, and people we’ve ever been around. We are forever grateful to of coached you and to have you in our Zionsville wrestling family. 

Where is Eddie Vedder when you need him??

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.

Huge TripleB fan here, maybe a unpopular opinion down south and a popular opinion up north but Evansville is the armpit of the State..

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.

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.
