So are you saying the Blackman kid cheated or was not on weight? 

How would anyone know if the wrestler was on weight if they didn't require him to weigh-in in front of everyone before the match?  I have been told that the assistant coach from FR was informed when he arrived at the challenge match site that a weigh-in would not take place.  He then ask the other wrestler to step onto the scales to see what his weight was and someone informed him that they were not going to step on the scales and the wrestler was not required to step on the scales before the match.  This is just another case of people playing very loose with the rules and pretty much doing what they want with little if any regard for other people.

 

Do I feel the Blackman wrestler cheated?  NO, he is not an adult and did exactly what the adults that were in control of the situation told him to do.

Ok come on guys, grow up. First off, its Coach K's team. As in his rules go. You may not have ever heard of someone not having to weigh in for wrestle offs but its not your team. You may not like it or agree with it, but its not your decision.

 

Cbg, you can't use what you heard as factual unless you were there yourself to witness it. Otherwise it just becomes the phone game.

 

It all boils down to if you don't like it start your own team and make your own rules.

Exactly what I expected here.  My whole contention is that I have never heard of having wrestle-off's and not weighing in.  Yes, Coach Kramer was one of the coaches for the team; however, it is not his team just like it is not my team.  And yes, he can also make any rules he likes.  That was not the discussion.  Don't be so stupid on here and save us all some time.  The team belongs to the wrestlers and the state of Tennessee as they were basically having a Dual Match which represented wrestle-off's.  Yes, they even had weigh-ins.

Why can you not talk about it intelligently instead of the old stupid saying, "if you don't like, make your own team".  This gets old and has lost its luster.

"he can make any rules he likes." you've said it yourself. Stop complaining about it and move on.

Ok so to recap:

Don't ever ever ever have a wrestle off without a weighin with all party's present. Coach Kramer will communicate better (thanks for all you do Coach, people forget how much). Voice in the crowd will help with this in some way maybe. Cbg will help also by reffing or traveling with the team or something. Bray will provide facilities and be his charming self (ppka). Hopefully we will all go on with life, win or lose.

Will there be a challenge scale at the future challenge match weigh ins? Or at least a 30 minute grace period just in case they're over weight?

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
