I love these forums cause of all the assumptions people make. You know what they say about the word assume. I’ll let you figure that out.

Science Hill envy much? Sounds like sour grapes to me.

Sure was a lot of forfeiting going on across the state tonight. All the people on here flapping gums about this particular thread sure have a lot of crow to chew on!

Why thank you! I’m sure glad your opinion matters to me. That’s sarcasm if you could not figure that out. So sorry that you disagree with my opinion. I will tell you I won’t lose any sleep over you.

Well that’s your opinion! We know what can be said about opinions.

And your opinion means what exactly? I don’t think I will pay any mind to a person calling themselves McNugget. It is what it is. A coach made a decision he thought was best for his kids! If the parents are not up in arms over it, then everyone else can take their comments and opinions and go kick rocks! Thank you for trying to be involved!

Mayo Clinic states otherwise and it says 24 hours. So Tomato, Tamato.

I couldn’t tell you how may where there cause I wasn’t there. From what I gather it was one experienced kid and a bunch of inexperienced kids. Would you put your inexperienced kids out in shark infested waters if you didn’t need to? To me it boils down to a team licking their chops to beat up on inexperienced kids, Science Hill chose not to use their kids as bait and they got the W they so desperately wanted, just not how they planned it out. Sometimes when you play stupid games you win stupid prizes.

Cute! Funny cause you obviously have no reply for complaining about something that you agreed with not even a full year ago. Sucks to eat crow. But laugh away and enjoy your little quips, just goes to show your thread was nothing but hot air.

Incubation period of two days means for symptoms to appear. And three days on average to be contagious. So contracting flu Saturday, and we are on Wednesday that’s four days. Good try on being a smart butt. So you are also saying that the coaches made the best decision in their opinion for their kids. Sometimes making the right decision outweighs what the popular decision is.

These kids were around each other all day Saturday. Most were diagnosed on Sunday. The average incubation period for flu is two days. Let’s do some math. Diagnosed Sunday plus two days would put us to yesterday at best, today, which is Wednesday would be two plus full days. Was there practice Monday, not to my knowledge. There is usually more going on than others realize. People put their kids in a coaches hands to make the best decision for their kids regardless of what others may do or say. Btw still waiting on reply for your comment last year over the “same” issue.

Funny how one team can forfeit out matches after realizing they can’t win a dual, but another team does so for the well being of their kids health and it’s an issue. It doesn’t matter if there were 5 or 50 kids on the team. All were exposed to flu! Why on God’s green earth would you want to expose more kids at this time of year? It’s not like moving the dual to next week would affect anything. Sounds like someone was trying to cash in on one team’s misfortune and it backfired.

Kingsport paper reads a lot of kids from Science Hill were sick with flu. It also says Science Hill asked to reschedule the dual only to be denied. My question is why wasn’t the dual rescheduled? Why would a coach want a team full of sick kids coming to their place, therefore spreading the virus? And what small memories we have. Didn’t DB do something very similar at region duals last year, with healthy kids? I guess pride is more important than kids health and well being. http://www.timesnews.net/Sports/2019/01/15/Science-Hill-forfeits-13-of-14-matches-in-bizarre-duel-meet-with-D-B

Dennis Forbes from Orlando, FL has moved to Bristol, TN! Coach D has coached two number one draft picks from last draft, Austin Gomber of the St Louis Cardinals and many more. Once a scout for the Cleveland Indians and was the personal hitting coach for Brian McRae! Come check this guy out. 515 Melrose St, Bristol, TN.

Spot on!

LOL! You continue to amuse me. Keep smoking whatever it is your on. If it makes you feel better about yourself to bash me that’s fine. Your opinion to me and many others is meaningless. I’m thinking you have a bad case of little man syndrome! It’s ok little fella not everyone can see things from all sides and be open minded.

Unobservent moron! You make my point yet again! You are obviously ignorant at best because of your little jabs. Your assumptions make you sound like a complete idiot, as usual. As said before you don’t like it stop being the snowflake libtard you obviously are, pull up your big girl panties and start helping out by making a difference vs spouting off at the mouth. You are quick to say nasty things to people not knowing them from the next guy. You call me the snowflake but yet you were the first to get on here whining and crying. I promise you every kid on the team DID feel like they belonged there. Ergo them traveling to do so. Now to address your “deserving “ comments. Yes some kids may have had a a state medal, but just maybe someone had one good day when another guy may have been off just a bit on that particular day. It’s funny that this is even an issue. Maybe you are the one who has their feelings hurt cause your little Johnny didn’t get to go. By the way you probably wouldn’t last five minutes in places I have been, take your safe place and take a wild guess what you can do with it! I have tried to be cordial with you more than once but your ignorance reigns supreme. Maybe I did have a kid on the team maybe I didn’t. I would defend any coach who did what they thought best for a team, regardless of the team! My kid has been left off of teams like this before. Guess what? I told him if he didn’t like it to go and get better! It does absolutely zero good to piss and moan about crap like this. Period! For the record your non-inclusive statements are entertaining to me cause you obviously have lost some brain cells along the way.

Again opinions are like buttholes. We all know the rest of the story. I’m pretty certain none of us were around when these teams were put together. I honestly could care less who was or was not on this team. I was just pointing out the fact that these guys who volunteered their time should not be called out because they didn’t pick the most popular kid in the room. Seriously how many of you were asked to coach this team? Maybe there is a reason for that. If it bothers you this bad step up and make an actual difference vs whining on some forum and calling out those who volunteer their time. Also, you’re telling me the kids who went didn’t feel they “deserved “ to represent the state? I honestly don’t know why I’m wasting my time debating with people who know everything about everything.

Snowflake! LOL, I promise you I’m the furthest thing from it. Your smart comments really prove exactly what I’m saying. You don’t know me from Adam but yet you feel you can throw a low blow without knowing me. I promise I’ve done more in my life in 11 years of my life on earth than most of you could even begin to fathom. Anyhow, I’m definitely not disagreeing with you on a state champ or even possibly a medalist not being offered a spot. I wasn’t there when calls were being made as I’m assuming neither were you! Rest assured I’m pretty certain that all potential candidates were considered. Maybe it was poor wording and I misunderstood what you meant be deserving. Due to the size of our state it is virtually unfair in any circumstance. As they say if a frog had wings, I’m sure you know the rest. Anyhow it is what is and there will never be something in place to make everyone happy. Have a good night, enjoy the bantering.

Some are more “deserving “ than the kids that went? Two kids were called by name in a previous post, not to mention other threads. I didn’t say you called them out personally Purple Wrestler. I completely understand where you guys are coming from, I honestly do. Just don’t get why anything was said to begin with. Just get behind the team from the get go. Most will not travel to middle TN for one maybe two matches for a what if trip to Iowa. Just step back and look at what’s been said from the other side of the fence if you are able to do so with no bias. It’s never going to be a perfect system no matter how you look at it. It’s sad that you can’t get on here and have discussion without all the negativity.

I and many others got the point loud and clear. Should have never been an issue to begin with. I very rarely speak on here, but you trash kids and coaches I will speak up.

9/10 team finishes 7-1! Only loss was 32-31 due to a medical forfeit! Looks like someone on here has some crow to eat! Great job boys and coaches!

Lost 32-31, medical forfeit. Struck a nerve? Not at all. Just sad that people think they know all, but obviously haven’t a clue. You bash kids and coaches alike but are nowhere to be found when it comes to solutions. You want wrestle offs? Why is it everyone must travel to Nashville for a wrestle off? How is that “fair” to the kids who would have to travel 5 hours for one match, maybe two? Absolutely ludicrous! My question is where you personally around any of these coaches when the teams were made? I’m guessing not. Do you know what the word assume means? How about they just turn TSSAA and AAU over to you cause you obviously have all the solutions to fix it all? You are obviously never wrong so I won’t be wasting my time with you any longer. As previously stated, find a new hobby that doesn’t involve bashing coaches and kids! You are the type of person that drives people away. Obviously you are not happy with these teams success. If you were you would be singing a different tune by not continuing to troll people and actually say supportive things. If you are that butthurt about this topic or other things in the state, well that’s easy, MOVE somewhere else! Have a great day!

So what makes someone more “deserving” than someone else? Considering the coaches had a very short window to put a team together I would dare say this is a pretty solid lineup. For some reason I have the feeling some would be upset regardless of who was on the team or how it was put together. Absolutely zero reason to name any child by name. The powers that be picked the coaches who they felt could put a team together and quickly. Most would agree that this team is not what some of you personally wanted so you are now personally attacking the coaches who are giving their time and bad mouthing kids. This is high school wrestling for goodness sake! Offseason at that. Get a life, a job or find a different hobby vs constantly putting yourself on your high horse! Seriously, where are you putting in time and dedication to these kids vs giving your opinion? Obviously no one cares what you have to say on the subject. If you had any relevance someone would have asked you to coach or what your thoughts were. Opinions are like buttholes, some stink worse than others! Btw both teams are 3-0 this far!

That goes for any team though. If Boone plays the way they are capable and the way they did against THS they will be tough to handle. Pulling for the local guys until we play each other, if that were to happen.
