reftn. Illinois and Dan Gable drew a very good crowd this year. The problem with bringing good programs to UTC is the lack of critical mass in the area. Hundreds of years ago when I was a college wrestler, you could make a trip to Chattanooga and schedule Sewanee, Maryville, Georgia Tech, UT, etc. Sorry, I'm getting misty eyed thinking of a pre Title 9 world. It is difficult to bring a OK State for one match with a DII program. I don't know if Terry has scheduled some tri meets or not.

 

Go ahead and make a contribution if you can. Come to UTC home matches. Fans in Chattanooga will make sure that college wrestling is here to stay.

 

You might contact Brands about a trip to Nashville to build support.

If the southern open college level gets picked back up I think, I am sure Coach Brands will bring in sum top notched teams to compete.

The old saying goes "Build it they will come"!!!!

I remember wrestling in the old southern open but it was the duals format in the later years, I did not have the pleasure to compete when it was in its hay day.

Given time and support the program will succeed.

Maybe UTC can once again host the South-eastern Regions Free-style and Greco possibly the Olympic Trials agin to get interest in the area?

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      By strongx · Posted

      Sorry Barn. I wasn’t specific enough. It seems I’m always protecting the principal at 825. My interactions with her have been extremely positive, but very limited. With all the other stories being told, I’m confident there are other sides I am not aware of. Regardless, there are lots of decent people earning good checks up there. Maybe too good, which explains why no one is willing to speak up. My beef is with the poor communication among the athletic programs and with the administration. Seven years ago the poor communication led to my son missing graduation due to a sporting event that was planned months before. I chalked it up to the system being totally shocked that the baseball team made it out of their district, and our then AD was a football coach. Maybe they were surprised and did not plan appropriately. That was more palatable than they just didn’t give a crap. Déjà vu, seven years later, same thing. Different administration, but same result.  Maybe in seven more years, it will actually be “about the kids”. They should do better.

      That's a fair line. But if it's not over, that's a big problem.

      RR, you think that changes this year, or at least improves? I know they had a couple of talented young receivers last year that made some plays later in the year. Defensive back was a struggle against any team that was above average at throwing the ball.

      You would think with football just three months away more would be talking. There's only so much a person can say about someone allowing the field to get painted without asking their boss who would have said ((((((((  ALE NO ))))))))) or all the other BULLS#!T they've done as they lead Maryville High into the new age of WOKE in a conversative town. I'm ready for some football news without hearing something coming out of 825 that Power Munger has done to cap off the week.
