I TALKED TO COACH GRINDSTAFF AND HE SAID THEY HAD 12 KIDS AT THE MEETING AND THEY NEED MORE. I KNOW THAT THE HAYDUK BROTHERS (NOTRE DAME) AND STEVEN McMINNEY(KINGSPORT DB) WERE THERE. THEY WANT TO HAVE 25 TO 30 WRESTLERS. THERE ARE A TON OF GOOD HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLERS WALKING AROUND THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE CAMPUS. THEY MAY NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNLESS YOU CALL THEM. THE SUCESS OF THIS PROGRAM IS IN YOUR HANDS. THE NEXT PRACTICE AT UT IS FRIDAY AT 2:30PM IN H.P.E.R. BUILDING. THEY WILL HAVE OTHER PRACTICES AT LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS. CONTACT JASON GRINDSTAFF FOR MORE INFO:865-766-0872 OR jgrinds@utk.edu

Yea, I know for sure that there are several state champs and medalist, especially D2 Chattanooga kids, that are still in school at UTK. I'm sure there is a way to get the word out, either through the school or using facebook. You could come up with a pretty talented team if you could get rid of those beer guts, but it will be pretty hard to convince juniors and seniors to come out and wrestle for a year or two when they have so much other stuff going on. Keep working though.

Who cares about the UT wrestling club? The real team got DICKIED by that coward some people refered to as an athletic director. If people only knew the BS he told Gray Simons to his face while cutting the program behind his back. If Gray didn't have so much class he would have taken him out back for a little workout.

WHO CARES ABOUT THE UTK CLUB? THAT IS JUST A SILLY COMMENT FOR ONE WHO CARES IF ITS A CLUB OR CHARTERED TEAM IT BRINGS AN OPPERTUNITY FOR MORE TENNESSEE WRESTLERS TO COMPETE AFTER GRADUATION INSTEAD OF VEGITATING ON THE COUCH THATS WHY PEOPLE SHOULD CARE

    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
