I'm for it being in Chattanooga as well, but this might be the worst argument I've ever seen on here... aside from the scottmike stuff of course

Ok, TNWrestling.. Todays word is SARCASM. The poster was making the point that, in his mind, the #1 determining factor in deciding the venue for the State Tournament should be Double Elimination, even at the expense of other factors. While I agree that double elimination is a good idea, so is the idea of offering these young men an environment that is exciting and electric in which to end their season or even their high school careers. Yes, the ag center offers double elimination, .. but No, it does not offer an exciting, intense atmosphere. In a perfect world, obviously the best answer would be a double elimination tournament in a better venue, but of course, we all know that.

I do enjoy a little sarcasm, and I get that a double elimination is important to many people. It could very well be done in Chattanooga. Just cutting out all of the larger breaks would help substantially. Not only is Chattanooga better for the wrestler in an excitement standpoint, but the spectator as well. I for one hate watching the state tournament where I cant see all of the matches, or even 75% for that matter. We cant all sit in the middle. Also it would be much better run with Eslinger in the mix. He coached the state tournament there and he know the issues. Look at how the Scuffle was run. Bono is a douche.

Hey,guess what?....We totally agree. Remember the excitement of the parade of Champions, both at MacClellan gym and at the Roundhouse? Everyone close to the floor, yelling and cheering for their gladiator as he came around? Dang good times and great memories!

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
