LOL....thanks for the heads up.

well to be accurate, you did not say duals either. So you can be more clear with me, I never said you lied. you insinuated they were scared to put their record at risk. LOL. better?

I will take your tack on this, I never said you lied.

I figured that would be the response. But they still seem less scared than what is being portrayed on here by Bump11. They do bring in duals teams from other states for their tournament, but why would we consider that? It seems to me that other Tennessee teams would want a shot at wrestling against Cleveland and getting better.

do not forget, the boast of 135 straight wins! Heck, there are many reasons to hate on them.

It looks like you might just be kinda right. Allen TX did have the traditional championship wins together, but I did not see where they won both duals as well.

yes, this is what I believe as well, the potential for a bad draw still will exist each year.

The reason it should make sense is that some regions are way less talented than say a region with Cleveland and Bradley (in the good ole days, not this year). I mean in regards to people complaining about the seeding after the sectionals were put in place. To me the sectionals were to eliminate the losers and allow more competitive state duals brackets (and time).

That is a good point, but I do not think that is what werasslin was saying.

what I read was that there would be a winner slotted to compete against some predetermined position from some region. So, pick the regions winners and the runner ups , or however you want to describe who gets in and slot them. To be honest, I cannot imagine that this would consistently be a good way to do it either. Or maybe I misunderstood what werasslin means.

I would like to see that demonstrated on this years draw. let us see what it would mean in real time versus what we have now. I suspect that this suggestion would sometimes work and sometimes not work, based on how well a team performs each year.

He said one person could not get something done. This was a pretty big deal when they changed from the Roundhouse to the cow patty palace, all because the UTC Mocs had an ESPN game and rolled the wrestlers right out of their tournament. Same tournament we are talking about! okay, it is a reach, and great job calling me on it!

one person got the tournament into the Cow Palace. So there is that example.

You know very little. I guarantee it. Do you want to bet me?

The enemies part is only for the local matches. Way back, the teams use to ride the same bus together to matches up north I-75. Tell them @StarRaider

@noonesfool, you understand me. Yes, we still both visit the board and comment when appropriate! @StarRaider Not a real Texan for sure. Heck, I do not even live there anymore, after 22 years of it. Great to hear from you too! Old Raiders never die.

It seems like this tournament must be about second place versus first place.

If Halls was seated number one this year, the exact same people would be writing the exact same thing about the TSSAA.

I feel bad for Cleveland, they have to wrestle the toughest match in the first round, boy did they get screwed on this.

This comment did not age very well.

Fact or not, this is pure trolling. Next level trolling.
