I've been watching Nashville football for some time and have to observe that the Irish give as good as they take, most years. It would appear that their physical talent seldom measures up to MBA, Brentwood Academy, or Ensworth, and yet they appear to be competitive most of the time. Perhaps they would be better if some of their bigger athletes like "In Hoc...." hadn't quit the team.At least, that's what I hear.

Why throw Hockey under the bus? Did he not win his state titles?

Well veteran, thats just speculation on your part but I think you miss the whole point of my post which is why is a current player at Ryan hyping up a father ryan football team that to be frank doesn't need to be or for that matter want to be on the d-2 radar? I am sure this is something Bruce Lussier would not want, I am sure he prefers to fly below the radar. As for me not playing, that was my choice and I think that banner in Ryan's gym is proof enough to support my decision. I support Father Ryan football, but until they are consistently in the elite ranks of this division (like Pat Simpson's crew is) they should in my opinion avoid posting topics like this, am I wrong?

As a matter of fact, you are wrong. This is not the real Levine. You might want to sit down because this could shock you...anyone can sign up under any name. (gasp) FRHS has made some good progress toward the top in the last couple of years. They have beaten what seemed to be an unbeatable BA twice, along with McCallie and Baylor last year. If you don't see that there are issues related to FRHS football being at the top of D-II that no other sport has to deal with, you need to stay away from this topic. You really went out on a limb on the Lussier thing. What coach DOESN'T want to fly under the radar?! :popcorneater: As for FRHS wrestling...no question it has one of, and probably THE, best staffs in the state. I will remind you, though, that there are no banners in the gym that say "heavyweight" on them. As for quitting...you're right. Everyone has the choice to be a quitter. You (supposedly) quit to be a state champion of 8 guys in the weakest weight class in the smallest division in the state (although from talking to a few guys your age, it was more about your toughness than wrestling). Since you're such a supporter of FRHS football...why don't you do what you do best and quit. You quit on them then. Quit talking about them now. Stick to wrestling threads.

IrishX, your a moron. Obviously Mr. Levine did not post this topic it doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

 

But your right that banner in the gym is not from my fruit, it is from the fruit of the work of both my teammates (most of whom cut a considerable amount of weight) and myself (we all know that Father Ryan wrestling practices six days a week from November to February).

 

As for me being a quitter, I suppose you could put Cole Gobbell and Sam Clanton in that category with me? As for my 2nd state individual title it wasn't the cake walk you described though I made it look that way, I was the last wrestler (that I know of) to beat Ryan Carrethers of BA (who you might know as the big kid that pancaked you, or your son on the gridiron) who the following year went undefeated and pinned a majority of his opponents, including Hunter Allen, this years D-I state champion.

 

Anyone Irish X, your filth and won't post your name on here and because you won't your bottom feeding rubbage. As far as I am concerned as long as Father Ryan has filth like you on their football team and people of my caliber on the wrestling team, the results for the two teams will continue as they are and will likewise be the norm.

I don't have a dog in this hunt but I tend to agree with In Hoc. Also have noticed that of all the D2 teams they are the most penalized and take the most cheap shots. They don't seem to have much respect for the game so I don't blame In Hoc for not wanting to be part of it.

 

is there a stat book for penalties? im not sure where this information is coming from... and cheap shots? do they hit after the play or something?

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year.
