Funny, that's what they say about...oh, nevermind!!

You know a lot of facts are made up on the spot. Where do you get your "facts" from. Do you have anything to back up your remark that "most college football coaches watch...etc."

Maybe it's none of your business. I know it's none of mine. You may think it is a pansy move, but they have a state title.(maybe)

Really a great job. Thanks

Come on! Have you seen him wrestle?

I never knew who he was until Friday. I may be wrong, and hope I am, but even if I knew nothing about him I would have thought that display was...well disingenuous. Maybe he thought it was right, but it was making Croney's moment about him.

My point of view was that he took the moment from Croney. Raising his hand as if it was his win to give. He should have just shook hands and walked off the mat with some dignity. I thought his display was garbage.

Must be Atlantic time!! The Canadians are running this website!

Off the subject for a second. The last post was at 9:43pm. It is now only 9:03 ET.

How about 7th graders?

A good leg guy isn't gonna "ride" you. And a roll isn't going to do anything to get a leach off of you except maybe get you cranked good and hard. It is nice to know, however that sportsmanship is still dead, "I hated leg wrestlers and acctualy tried to hurt them". What a stupid thing to say.

I didn't read all the posts, but will chime in on my understanding of the b-splits. I know in Ohio you can't split them straight apart, it has to be more of a scissor split (i.e. inside leg up towards the stomach/head). That is how I have always understood the rule/interpretation. This would have probably been the refs call in Illinois.

I guess it is the attempt to make wrestling a team sport. But from my point of view it hurts the guys that would benefit from the tougher competition. "Hey what did you place in the Classic?"..."I didn't go, but we won the state duals in KY!!". I just don't see any benefit to it, waste of two weekends to me.

On the same subject, can anyone explain the state duals to me. I am not from KY and don't recall any "state duals" in any other top wrestling states (OH, PA, NJ, NY). Why does ky do them at all? I may be wrong about the other states, I just never heard of them. Seems to me if teams want to get in better tourneys, then KY could get rid of the duals all together, seems like some teams feel forced to go (like Christmas with the in-laws, you go and smile but you would rather be somewhere else).

I will say again, this has nothing to do with Ryle. I could care less what Ryle does. This has do do with rules and precedence. If a school (Ryle in this case) wants to send their varsity team to a tougher tourney, go for it(I would). However, you sacrafice a chance to go to the state duals. That's it for me, nothing more. In this case Ryle varsity went to the classic, I felt none of the two and outs should have been at the nkac, they were and I really don't care that much I just wonder what the rules state, they then gave up the state duals for a better tourney. If you want you can use the name Anyteam USA in place of Ryle, but in this case it happens to be Ryle's actions that have bought this to the forefront. If Ryles jv would have placed 1st or 2nd at the nkac, I would argue that the same line-up should go to the state duals, with the exception of injuries(none of the guys that weren't at the nkac). Maybe you could think of it as one weigh-in, once at the nkacs and once at the state duals, therefore it is one tourney.

I am sorry but you are kidding(I hope). Would SK's coach even consider this? Why don't we just skip the regional tourney and send the top 16 ranked kids to Frankfurt. While were at it we can skip the state tourney(we could rank the kids at the beginning of the season and skip the whole thing). This is the kind of crap that keeps holding Ky wrestling back, no legitimacy. As far as feeling snubbed, if for any reason Ryle goes to the state duals I am sure a lot more people will feel "snubbed". What a joke!!

I only posed the question about what the rule states. I would be a shame for a kid to miss out on something later in the season because of some technicality. I am not completely clear on the point system in ky, it is different than in oh, which I am sure is different than pa and so on.

It's a rule thing, not a Ryle thing. I realize that there are 11 weekends in the season, there are also 11 Wednesdays, 11 Thursdays and so on. A dual on Wednesday counts as a weigh-in, the same as a tournament I believe. So when you pack a schedule the way most teams do, to add another tournament or dual or whatever usually doesn't work(too many points).

So the second day of a tourney doesn't count as a weigh in. However the Nkac and the classic are not day one and day two they are two separate events. So if varsity is allowed 17 weigh ins, the nkac counts as one and the classic counts as one. Unless they took their jv team to the classic. I am going to pose this question to the khsaa next week.

Does anyone know how the points system works. Seems to me that if Ryle is maxed out in points for the season, those four would have to sit something out later (or the whole varsity lineup). My point being that the classic and nkac are two seperate varsity events and should count that way. Unless the rules don't apply if you are in a different area code or from Ryle.

I would say "revenge is always the weak pleasure of the narrow and little mind." But for the life of me I can't figure out how to get revenge on someone you pinned twice.

Here's another one, I saw a guy today with a UK shirt on that probably never went to college.

How is it different? BTW, it was mocking, not an analogy.

I saw a guy today with a Chad Johnson jersey on. He clearly was not Chad Johnson and probably never even played pro football.
