It is very interesting how some DI guys get on this thread and belittle the DII teams. Too bad! Wrestlinggod, go back to the peewee division.

How did NCW do? I know they went down and wrestled but I haven't heard how they did. Did Memphis take a team?

hoosierdad I heard Kennedy may not be going to UTC after all. My guess is that he will be wrestling for MTSU next fall. I also heard he was ready to wrestle now. I can't wait to see what he does at the Dixie Duals. The Murfreesboro team is loaded! Good luck guys.

TNKO2 You are right about mom's officiating. It sure would add a new demention to the sport and probably keep bear cat brown around for a few more years. However, the TSSAA officials go through more training than do any AAU officials and I think you would agree to that. I have been to way too many AAU tournaments and had dads of wreslters officiating the tournament who have not had much training at all if any. On the other hand, the TSSAA officials should have more training and therefore be better at the job. That is what I didn't see from my perch in the stands this weekend.

Just plain terrible. I thought I was at an AAU tournament with dads officiating the tournament.

Are Heath Eslinger and Steve Logsdon on speaking terms now? I knew there was very bad blood between them when Eslinger left to be an assistant at UTC. Logsdon didn't like that at all.

Yes I was suprised at the spunk of the mba wrestler. Kind of reminded me of the old ryan boys who use to harass the mba fans. Yep a real suprise. Didn't know mba had any kids like that.

I haven't heard from the clock keeper in a while. How is he doing? It is going to be so bad on Saturday night I don't think we need the Legandary clock keeper at all.

The Irish will roll over the Momma's Boy Academy! No chance at all.

Beech Coach do you still have the jv tourn on the first saturday in Dec like you did a few years ago?

CBG, I think you are a big fan of Dan Gable from your earlier post. What do you think Gable would say?

When did the TSSAA release this information? I went to their site and did not find it.

Freestyle you must be kidding. I at this point can't believe a word the Ryan faithful say. A few weeks ago you bash the Cash kid from BA for beating Marketti and all you say is he stalled and how pathetic he was for stalling. Now you say when Ryan does it you are using good strategy. I am getting to believe what the Blackman folks say about you guys. You guys are something else. As far as what I saw of the match on then internet, Murphy stalled pretty much most of the night.

I can't believe what I am reading here. The Ryan faithful are now saying that stalling is smart wrestling. I guess when we hear the old purple people eaters scream he is stalling, you are actually complimenting the wrestler you are screaming at. Get ready for the the real red team.

I am happy that we (Baylor) is the number 1 ranked team in the state poll. This means all our wrestlers get trophy's at the end of the year. I guess the Varsity division is upset because they wont get the crystal ball at the end of the year. Is this the problem?

Will this match be on the internet? If so, what time will the match begin to air? Thanks for any information.

Gig, I can't believe I am agreeing with a McCallie poster. You said it well. I was trying to be nice to these guys and all they did was lash out at me, which shows me this is there first rodeo. I am glad for their win over Ryan. It was a good night. I, like you, want to tell the Blackman followers, good win. Just don't put down DII. If you want real respect feel free to join us at McCallie or go to the Ryan tournament. Heck, if they are that good and young as they say, you might want to join us at Collins Hills in Georgia. Now there is real competition. Anyway, good post Gig.

Congratulations to Blackman on the biggest win they have ever had. However, I would be careful to not beat my chest too much in victory. You guys have a good team, enjoy your win. It was a good one. Now that you have told everyone how bad Division II is and how your unranked kids beat all these ranked DII kids, you probably feel you could win DII now. Maybe you could. If I were the the Blackman coach, I might ask my administration to leave DI and move over to DII. It would be a lot easier to win than the DI, right! My guess, is that if you guys wrestled 10 times you would win only once, and you did. So congratulations again on the win. What happened to Ryan last night. Did they look tired? Or did they just get outwrestled. Just curious. Ryan looked very good at McCallie this year back in December. I wonder if they have any injuries. I know the Baylor boys are interested in knowing.

texas it is obvious to me that the current poll reflects what the pollsters believe to be the best and top ten teams in the state. However, your statement reflects an agenda on your part by wondering why don't we have polls that reflect divisions. Why do you want divisions? Just wondering.

Thank you for answering my question. This kinda clears things up for me. Maybe

First off, I am not trying to get anyone in trouble here. I am trying to clarify information given to me by my sons coach. I am not trying to stir anything here. So forget it. Soms you and H-Dad take your fight somewhere else. I am just trying to get educated here.

I see where Callaway wrestled in this Middle School tournament, then I read where he wrestled in a match against Ryan the other night. If I am not mistaken, I believe this violates the TSSAA rules. My understanding is that once you are submitted on the TSSAA roster you can't compete with others who are not listed on their schools eligibility form. Has this rule been changed. I recall my sons coach telling me that my son couldn't go to a tournament in Virginia Beach because he had already turned in the eligibility report. I am confused. Has the rule changed? Can someone clarify this for me. I need some help understaning this.

werazzlin are you guys going to the ryan tour? If not where are you taking your team?

Congratulations to Jordan Leen for a very good showing at the Southern Scuffle. Here are some photos of his finals match. http://tferg.smugmug.com/gallery/2307645/24/120670171
