Matman Rankings

[irishdad]

Apparently anyone who disagrees with you is just speaking garbage! But you are aloowed to disagree with others because you know so much! I don't know the first thing about father Ryan, I am just ammused by the fact that you don't seem to know the first thing about anythinr outside of that school!

No gopher only you. For someone who does not know anything about my school your very harsh in your replies. Again, you are incorrect about my knowledge of other schools. Ask anything you want about DII wrestlering and I would be happy to fill in your blanks. You seem to be a very unhappy, mean spirited person. You are not what this forum is about.

P.S. We don't teach our kids to make excuses..but we do teach them how to spell correctly..let me know if you need a tutor..

[irishdad]

Hey Gopher please tell me who you support so I can bring my Irish and kick there tails. first I have never claimed we are the best at all weight classes. With that statement you do show your ignorance. But as a team we are very very strong. We have wrestled twice in Ohio placing second and third, third @ Mcallie without three starters, first @ frhs Inv, second @CBHS losing to Park Hill and we have not lost a regular season match to date. My bias has nothing to do with the fact that we have a great squad. But me in charge on the rankings ..it would be a pleasure. It would be accurate and fair.

Plus I never said one bad call knocked Matt Morales out of placing any where. But I will put him up against your 140 or 145 just bring it gopher boy!!!!!!!!

Who is gopher? Who is irishdad?

Wrestlering is a compound of a wrestler wrestling..jeez who doesn't know that .

Plus Mr Spellcheck is their spelled thier...just curious...you sooo funny make me laugh!!!!

Just to bottom line it..... if everyone would submit results, the rankings would be more accurate. There are a lot of school insiders that spend a considerable amount of time online, yet do not send in results.

 

I guess it is much more fun to sit back and complain about things.

Young Mr. Hamm, You will discover, as a wrestling activist, that you are driven to get things happening for the benefit of wrestling. You will do them all to best of your ability, considering resources and time. You will recognize the short-comings and the screw-ups of your endeavors on your own (without being told), most probably being your own toughest critic. You will become even more mindful of the big picture as time goes on. But regardless of the beefs that come your way, you will continue to contribute in a big way because your love of the sport is so much greater than the letdowns from unconstructive criticism.

 

Over the years, it has come to attention that those who are most actively involved in actual grunt-work, whatever it may be, in expanding and improving opportunities within the sport, are by far the least likely to offer unconstructive criticism to a fellow-doer.

 

Just realize that those folks whose involvement reaches deep into the welfare of the sport, will almost without fail, understand and appreciate what you are doing (with flaws, mistakes and all), even though they may never avail the opportunity to tell you.

Som, I was, indeed, reared in a household guided by "sorta motherly wisdom" and hopefully some of it took.

[texas23]

delaWarr,

 

I pictured you in my mind more like obie won konobi teaching young Luke Skywalker........"Luke, use the power of wrestling for good, not evil. The force is strong with this one", stuff like that.

 

Just kidding....

[CoachGonyeaSHS]

I will take advice from Dela anyday....Thanks for helping us younger coaches out...and activists. I really appreciate all you have done for the sport in TN.

 

Hamm,

 

Don't let these guys rattle you. From what I see on your rankings, you are pretty darn close, and I don't know how many people realize your knowledge and insight into the TN wrestling community. I have seen you travel long distances just to get the info you have. We appreciate your work at Smyrna...Just wish we could give you some info that would be worth ranking this year....

Well since Soms is one of your guys, I will assume the advice comment is based on my "fun" post for delaWarr. I stated very clearly that I was just kidding with delaWarr. I assume he can tell by the way I wrote, "just kidding".

 

I am sure he (could be she, I don't know) gives good advice. Seems to have a good sense of humor and displays it on the board in my view.

 

So don't feel the need to be so quick to come to his defense. No offense intended or written in that post.

 

This board is for clean, fun and interesting entertainment. In fact, I bought the package to support it. Relax and have some good fun with it.
