  1. In D 2 Duals, I think much depends on whether McCallie's several first rate boys who have been sick or injured will be able to go or whether they (or some of them) will have to wait another week.
  2. Thanks to TNBattles. Might he add his rankings to Coach T? Some of us may not have access to twitter.
  3. Any word yet on whether McCallie willl field full line up at duals? Or will they wait until individuals? Would make a big, bit difference at duals--for both Ryan in semis and Baylor in finals.
  4. The post about the upcoming duals battles (mostly between Bradley and Cleveland?) reminded me that this Friday will involve McCallie/Baylor and that next weekend will be the Division 2 duals regionals. How are people feeling about these events? For instance, how much significance lies in the fact that McCallie's several really good wrestlers, who did not wrestle last weekend against Ryan and MBA, will surely be back and at full strength both this Friday and next weekend's regionals.? Remember that Ryan will NOT be in next week's regional; they will be in the West. Insights, anyone? Predictions?
  5. Does anyone know how McCallie and Baylor did ? They both were in out of town tournaments.
  6. AH, PREDICTIONS, PREDICTIONS! ! ! What team will win AAA? What team will win A/AA? What team will win D2? Who will be Outstanding Wrestler in AAA? Who will be Outstanding Wrestler in A/AA? Who will be Outstanding Wrestler in D2?
  7. StarRaider, do you know whether (and when) the brackets will be announced to the public? Will the TSSAA do that? The host schools? Do the coaches in each region do the seeding? Thanks!
  8. Ooooooops, sorry!!! D1 has always had regionals.
  9. Do we know anything yet, for sure, about this coming weekend, February 7 & 8? Will there, in fact, be tournaments for both Divisions, one for each region? Where will they occur? How will they be seeded? How many places will qualify for the state meets? How will the state meets be seeded? Only by places in the regional meets? Some other way? The geographical imbalance of Division 2 is remarkable. How will D2 regional results be applied to qualifying and seeding for the D2 state meet? What else would be interesting to know? Am I correct in thinking that this is a big, big deal and that coaches need to know all of this by tomorrow? Do we already know all of this? Have I just missed it?
  10. Tate Robinson of Baylor lost last night by injury default. Does anyone know the nature of the injury and whether he will be in Baylor's lineup tonight in the championship meet?
  11. Does anyone know whether Tate Robinson will be in Baylor's lineup against Father Ryan tonight?
  12. How many important dual meets remain? Baylor-McCallie is this week. Who should win? Which matches will be the deciders?
  13. BBB's facts make it easy for me, too, to believe that Harlow is the best to come out of Tennessee, so far. St. Andrews may well have had eighth graders in those days. It seems to me now, years later, that he was, indeed, a five time Mid-South champion. Help me, BBB! In fact, I believe that the first time he won, he was an eighth grader and defeated in the finals a senior who was a 2 or 3 time defending champion. Help me, BBB! I believe that Randy Weinberg was the only other 5 time Mid-South champion; so he belongs somewhere on our list. Two brothers, Chip and Rob Healy, also deserve mention, for they both were 2 time champions at the National Prep Schools and Academies Tournament in Lehigh, Pennsylvania. During the 1960s McCallie and Baylor sent their entire teams to that tournament after the Mid-South Tournament. Both schools had numerous individual champions, but the Healys (and maybe Jim Glasser? Help me, BBB!) were, I'm pretty sure, the only 2 time winners. Bill Harlow may have won championships at that tournament, too (Help me, BBB!). After all these years, it's hard to compare the best TSSAA wrestlers to the best Mid-South ones, for they didn't wrestle in the same end-of-season tournament, except in 1962 (Help me, BBB!). However, they did wrestle one another during the regular season. For instance, I'm pretty sure that Chip Healy wrestled Charlie Goss and Jim Beattie and maybe the great Ernie Rose of Kirkman. Randy Weinberg's only two regular season losses in his 5 year run were to the also great Kenny Whitworth of East Ridge when the former was an eighth or ninth grader and the latter a junior or senior (Help me, BBB!). Thanks to all of you who write to celebrate wrestling and to acknowledge the accomplishments of years' and years' worth of hard working young athletes, regardless of school. I enjoy those posts!
  14. Thanks for the help with laying out the rules for advancement points, bonus points, and placement points. My question is whether advancement points are "bonus" points. That is, are they independent of the placement points? Does the champion, say, in a weight receive his advancement points plus his bonus points plus his 16 placement points, for a total of many more than 16? Thanks!
