Baylor parents need to grow up

[takedown3]

I heard the reason Baylor wrestlers didn't shake hands with public school wrestlers was that it would lead to ring worm or a severe case of studdering.

I have worked closely with the Baylor program over the last several years. They have great coaches, hard nose wrestlers and very supportive parents that represent themselves, their program, and The Baylor School extremely well. They are a class act that is always welcome at the Greeneville Inv.

It's amazing and entertaining to watch a rumor get started on this board. A kid hears second hand that a Baylor parent threw a soft drink on a cheerleader and then reports it here as gospel. This then leads to unsubstantiated gross generalities related to imagined snobbery.

 

I'm from the other side of the river but Baylor parents are a class act. They are some of the most knowledgable wrestling fans (not quite as McCallie parents but close) and good representatives of the school and Chattanooga.

 

We're going to have to have pictures, depositions, eye witnesses, etc before the "thrown soft drink" accusation will fly.

 

I heard from a reliable source that shaking hands with public school wrestlers leads to ring worm. I have it from an informed source on the internet!

if you have a problem with mba, give me a call and we'll see who's the sissy who cuddles with boys.

So if you go to a public school you automatically have ring worm?

they might be too good to shake hands, but they wouldnt be too good to take a whipping at the hands of bradley or clarksville. baylor parents think they know everything about the sport. they complain at every call--even the good ones if they are against their team

[Honaton]

good you know what you are talking about dragon. I bet the dedicated parents know more about the sport than you do. They are lassy people. Sorry they bring excitement and enthusiasm to the sport.

I went to a public school and I never heard of the not shaking hands thing, and their fans are bad because they complain???Apparently you don't watch much wrestling or pay attention when you do because the fans for EVERY team complain if the call goes against them.

[Guest Bwrestler]

Who ever thinks that we are to good to shake hands with public schools is out of their mind. Give me some example of what you're talking about and I'll try to set things straight. About our parents, I can't imagine haveing a more knowledgeable group of fans who are so enthusiastic about wrestling. By complaining that they need to grow up shows that you have no idea what your talking about.

Dragonwrestler, thanks to Steve Logsden, we'll never know if Bradley can whip private schools. Baylor and McCallie both would welcome the opportunity. You'll have to address your challenge to Coach Logsden. However, if Clarksville wants to come to the McCallie Open, I'm sure they'd be welcome. It would only add to the competition.

 

Wrestling4life, I, and I imagine Takedown3, were making a point about the the way rumors start on the internet through the use of "satire". I'm sure at some point during your education, someone will introduce you to that concept. In the meantime you don't have to be concerned about shaking hands with anyone who has washed them. However, you probably need to be concerned about your education.

Chill dude, I wasn't really taking offense to that or trying to be offensive with my statement.
