You talk like you know a lot, but you are just speculating and that's how stuff gets started.

If you know someting for a fact, then say it. Otherwise, shut up.

Lima is a great coach. Nothing he said in that article was cocky. Quit bashing his program. You have no idea what you are talking about.

Is there anywhere on TSSAA or anywhere else for that matter where a coach can find out if opposing players have earned red cards. Who keeps tabs on this kind of thing?

Maybe a ref out there can help me with this one....In the 2004-05 wrestling rule book on page 71....picture 95 (7-2-2) it states "the split scissors is potentially dangerous. The referre may break it to prevent injury."

Should the split scissor (what I call the bannana split), be stopped everytime someone is put in it?

Can anyone clarify....Thanks

No it does not...there's this guy, Nick Marable, who's pretty good.

DII is harder to win, but easier to place.....Many times the 4/5/6 place medal winners in DII are not as tough as their counterparts in DI.

But if you matched up last years winner's in both DI and DII, I believe DII would come out on top.....and I'm sure someone who has too much time will do just that in the next thread.

Congrats to the OW, Nick Marable for his great tourney.

"buzzards gotta eat, same as worms" is not Two Mules for sister sarah, it's Outlaw Josey Wales.

"Cuff and Link" is from Rocky

"you #$%^@, look at you now" is from Casio

And the new one

"These aren't men that built the railroad, he peed on my rug"

Outlaw Josey Wales

"That kid....that kid is back on the escalator"

Well, since Region X has already been invented by Jose (better get the copywrite so you can make the money)...I would like to throw this out there....HOW about REGION DIX (french for 10)

Possible slogans

Get your wrestling fix in Region Dix

Jump in the mix in region Dix

and my favorite.......

Get your licks in Region Dix

Have you had the pleasure of tangling with Coach Casey, now that you are working together. He's a handful on the mat. Needless to say, CBHS has a pretty darn good set of coaches with those two.

It should be interesting when they battle Ridgeway early in the season.

They need to determine if the OW is a lifetime achievement award or a tournament award. Taking nothing away from Gibson or Leen, but JKyle James and Nick Marable were the OW's of the tourney. But they are all fantastic wrestlers.

Don't forget about the guys from TN that came before this group and set the stage to get TN wrestling back on track. ie. Heath Eslinger, Kevin Baltz, Jim Casey, Craig Johnson, Ben Smith, Quantal Langford. They all started for UTC. All TN boys

Simpson from Germantown is funny to watch, just cause he doens't know what he is doing and pitches fits

Franklin's coach is cool/fun to watch. I also like Cleveland's coach.

What are the circumstances under which a head ref can void his earlier call (as in the 171 MBA/CBHS). How much time does he have to do so, and can the secondary ref make an over ruling (as it appears he did)?

Pushing an opponent from the optional position is good hard-nose wrestling. It does a couple of things: 1) creates space, 2) makes the bottom wrestler uncomfortable and thus easier to score on 3) asserts dominace.

Anyone who thinks otherwise has not wrestled much. Watch a college match sometime or a Brands highlight tape.

Does anyone know if the table or ref, when warning the coach, has to let the coach know he has been warned?

Bayou, I'll try again

Just b/c there are more teams in D1(130ish) does not mean there are more than 8 good teams that need to go to state duals.

Having good, par, and sub par teams wrestle at state duals just cause D1 has an abundance of teams is ridiculous.

The best teams will be there this weekend in both public and private. No one team that has a good shot was left out.

OK, that being said.....Yes Cleveland deserves to be at State Duals more so the MUS....but public schools wanted to be seperate, so deal with it.

Maybe DI should have a 64 team bracket....a Feb Madness. Would that end this thread?

Just casue there are over 130 DI teams, doens't mean there are more than 8 that deserve to go to state duals. Show me a really good D1 team that is not in the state tourney and maybe you'll convince me.

As far as DII goes, maybe one of the teams doesn't deserve to be there in the grand scope of TN wrestling, but whatcha gonna go. Those are the rules.

Amen, soms

Takedown42...well said

More divisions wouldn't help. College is a different story. This is a TN state tourney, not the NCAAs.

The more divisions you create, the weaker the system becomes. Have 5 or 6 state champs is ridiculous.

Thanks for the advice BayouBear.....wouldn't want to make a fool of myself in front of....you

This is about letting the best wrestler/team win. Not about anything else.

That's a great idea...let's make a DIII and DIV...all we need are more divisions and all our problems will go away (sarcasm)

Oh, I love the competition. I'm just sick of hearing DI people complain about that stuff. Until we are one big happy division again (which won't happen), we will always have this problem. I have nothing against DI or DII. I'd love to see an All-Star Tourney. This weekend will be great.

After reviewing the results of the DI Region tournaments, it occurs to me that it is completely unfair to allow only the DI Region winners into the State Duals while allowing three DII Region 2nd place teams and two DII Region 3rd place teams into the State Duals.

 

I am not saying the field for the DII tournament should be fewer teams.

Give me a break. You know what unfair is? Father Ryan, Baylor, McCallie, Christian Brothers, MBA, and Notre Dame all competing for the DII championship. While the DI will only be between Bradley and Soddy. MUS may not be very good at all, but that's the nature of the beast. I don't think any DI schools will be too upset that they don't have to get through the previously mentioned DII teams to get a championship.
