I promise I haven't forgotten you. Here is an excerpt from a message I posted yesterday on the Plus Boards:

 

Most of the changes happen when iamoz and I look at something we would like to do and realize we can't do it with the system, or hardware, or whatever that we currently use. Usually we decide that the benefits aren't worth what we would be giving up in order to gain those benefits. But, this time, we felt it was necessary. For example, these boards will allow me, late this summer, to set up some private boards for different groups of fans. I have wanted to put in a cheerleader board for awhile but do not want it open to anyone who wants to make comments about cheerleaders. I already know where those conversations would lead. I will be able to do that soon, as one example.

I think that if u made a cheerleading board it would have to be private. just because some people would ruin it for everyone. That just shows you how childish people can get

Okay, I just want to know, and I am not trying to be a smart aleck here, but what on earth would people talk about on a cheerleading board? I honestly cannot figure that one out! They aren't in competition with each other, at least I don't think so (shows how much I know!) Just please enlighten me because I really want to know. And, maybe you are right, maybe it would need to be private. Thanks. :unsure:

Well JustWrestle they are in competition with each other at times. My daughter is a cheerleader and they have summer camp. There they compete with each other at different things. Also through the year there are competitions where squads from different schools compete against each other. Well robjim I don't know what you know about cheerleading. ;) Guess you want to see if they post any pics huh? :unsure: Yeah coacht will have to get someone to mod the board that will keep it straight and knows something about cheerleading. Like robjim? NOT! :D

The Cheerleaders compete at the national level. I think they do things that are dangerous, like stacking three high on a hardwood gym floor. I know there are some restrictions and College restrictions are a little less strenuous. The backflips the length of the floor are neat. They could be timed on that. It's about 94 feet baseline to baseline. :unsure:

Thanks for all that info. I do agree that they are definitely athletes! I watch in amazement how they do the stuff that they do. I just never heard of any local competitions between the schools - I have heard of competitions when they go to cheering camp, etc., but not during the year, really.

And oh yea, we do need to watch out for the moderator - especially Robjim! :unsure:

TSSAA has a state competition for building squads ( that do partner stunts) an non-building squads (who do not build stunts and pyramids. Competitions are held at camp as well as at the national level. Squads are judged on synchronization, creativity, crowd appeal, levels of difficulty (stunts and tumbling vary in their degrees of difficulty, much like gymnastics, ) and visual aids (signs and such.) They must perform the routine in a certain area- points are counted off for going out of bounds, wobbling on stunts or dropping girls out of them, being out of synch with your squad, etc, etc... Cheerleaders are athletes. Cheering for a football game is comparable to doing high impact aerobics for the same amount of time on one's heart rate. Hope this helps :D

    • 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. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
