I know I have seen this topic in years past, so maybe I should change the question to- how do you think this years best wrestlers stack up against some of the best all-time?

Who is the best all-time wrestler from the state of TN?

Actually, the last time bama was sec champ was 99, ut's last was 98. ut lost to Auburn in 04. So bama was the last champ out of the 2 and ut has been to the sec championship game twice since bama last did. war eagle!

I'm going to go ahead and say Chuck Norris would beat BA. He would easily contain Wright and the rest of the team. For that matter, he would kill BA, literally.

Since you did bring it up, BA was 1-0 against d1 opponents last year. They beat the 5A state champions if I'm not mistaking. just a thought

Have you looked at the Region and State Championships in every other sport? That's why they don't move down.

Denny Dotston. I don't think that he wasn't all that good.

Too ealry to say yet. Last week's win proves that they have the ability to be a threat if they can play like that week in and week out for 4 quarters. Wait till they get a few DII AAA wins under their belt to be considered a threat.

Like I said earlier. Don't get cocky about one big win. We did the same thing last year after the CBHS game and almost lost to a BGA team that we should have killed. Be excited about the game, but just don't be cocky. We have nothing to be cocky about... yet, hopefully. Good luck next week and the rest of the season.

Again, according to TSSAA they didn't win one in 61. They could be wrong, but the point is that Oak Ridge doesn't have more state championships than MBA and BA combined. Whether they have 7 or 8, its still impressive. It would be pretty cool to see Father Ryan climbing its way up that list in the near future.

According to the TSSAA website, BA is in 1st with 9 State Championships, MBA is in 2nd with 8, and Oak Ridge is in 4th with 7. http://www.tssaa.org/schdir/records/GetTheRecord.cfm

Great win Irish! I couldn't see it but I heard it was amazing. Just don't get cocky about 1 win. We need about 9 or 10 more of those, then you deserve to be cocky. Congratulations and keep up the goodwork.

One last thing... Please help the seniors out by not thinking about tomorrow and playing your hearts out today. That's the best way to earn their respect.

Are you serious? Not one freshman started varsity last year. There might have been one or two on kick off team at the end of the season, but that doesn't count as starting. That is the problem with the program, every sophomore and junior class sit around and talk about how good they are going to be their senior year, and just buy time till they are seniors. Then once they are seniors, the rest of the team is doing the same thing they did. I know how it is, I was there. Once you stop talking about how you're good you are going to be in the future and start playing NOW is when you will start winning some games. Good luck this season and please get this program back on the right track.

It's funny how Ryan got 6 kids into Notre Dame last year and MBA got none. Not sure about jp2 but I know they didn't get 6. Ryan got countless others into good schools besides ND, ex: Vandy, Tulane, Air Force, and West Point. I'm not knocking on MBA's or JP2's academics, just sticking up for Ryan's. FRW was right about being good in other sports. I couldn't see the game last night but congratulations to jp2, just wish we could have had a chance to play last year.
