Re: Big 12 Adds Two Wrestling Members
Wow, Fresno State will travel all the way out here. Why did the Pac 12 not want them or did they not want the Pac 12?

The reason is, well there is no reason!!! LOL. Same reason Fairmont St., who used to have a top notch program has not restated one. No real reason.....

Re: WVU
Like I've said before, although many disagree with me, there is NO reason why we should not be competing with Penn State for recruits. Period.

Re: Honest
There is a fine line between wrestling wide open and under control and wrestling wide open and stupid. At some point you meet someone with equal abilities. Many factors go into winning a match such as this. Remember Rulon Gardner and Alex Karelian? 1-0 in overtime. Granted along the way they had to ...

Re: Change Rules on Dual Meets Counting as Weigh Ins
I like the idea of more duals. Mostly for the reasons stated above. I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Try the 1/2 weigh in for a few years. The all day dual tournaments 4-5 matches in the same day 8-10 for two days, I think, lead to more injuries, and more pins. Although, I'll admit...

Re: JV Trivia - Week Ending January 14th
Captaincoalman, you are correct. I had problems breaking the lineup for varsity eons ago. I wrestled , my jr. year, behind a kid who was undefeated going into the state tournament. He got hurt some that year and I wrestled enough to EARN my letter. Quite proud of it. The kid he beat in the regional ...

Re: Seeding the state tournament
Chuck Wright coached HS at Dunbar for several years. I was lucky enough to have wrestled for him for his first 2 years of coaching. He worked us relentlessly. We were all better for it. He did coach at least one state champ and I think one runner up (Not me, never made states!!) before leaving coach...

Re: Favorite wrestling memory
I have many great wrestling memories. Many of which come from kids, now adults, who tell me how much being treated fairly and pushing them to be tough not only on the mat but in life had huge effects on them. Means the world to me. I too coached a son to the State tournament in hs. He didn't place, ...

Re: Forfeits in AAA
1975(wow, eons ago) I wrestled behind an undefeated wrestler. Luckily, during the season, he sprained his ankle. I got in enough varsity wins to earn a letter. He recovered and went to the state tournament as an undefeated wrestler. A couple of the guys in our regions I had defeated while he was hur...

Re: Forfeits in AAA
Thank you bearhugger. I've been advocating JV in the regionals for a long time. I've mentioned this in several posts over the years. Mostly no one agreed so I dropped it. Point wise many things could occur to be fair. Only one wrestler per school could score points. Maybe JV points would only count ...

Re: Wrestling helped make my son healthy again
Yes, great story. He will reflect on his wrestling experience his whole life. It helped me in my academic life also. Hard work leads to some type of success. I never wrestled until my 10th grade year(3 year high schools eons ago). Never had a winning record. Played football, was decent, fell in love...

Re: WVU match at Parkersburg
Va Tech, a very good team dominated us today. I didn't see it, but the results are there to see. I continue to pull for the Mountaineers. I am a bit disappointed we, as a program, have not been too competitive to this point. Hoping the tough schedule will help them grow this season.

Re: Just wondering
All sounds like a nightmare to me. From the looks of the high school results so far this year, either kids need more matches/practice(way too many pins) and or there are a lot of empty classes(not enough kids)(too many forfeits).
