Contrarian
My senior year on our way to state we had a pep rally the entire school was in the gym. They made a space down the center of the gym played some music and announced our names we ran out giving everyone high fives and got on the bus and was escorted out of town by the police and fire trucks. There were cars pulled over and people standing on the street like a parade. About 20 miles out of town our fans put more signs up on the highway to Wichita.
Not really sure where your coming from my whole community was behind the Abilene Wrestling team.
And I can start a fight on my own just fine I dont need you diverting any attention my way. Almost all wrestlers Hate Basketball your not going to win any new fans go pound it else where.

And by pound it I of course mean a basket ball. Id be careful its march we all know KU wins in February and loses in March its just a matter of time.

And, how many national championships does KSU have? ;-)

Some real hard asses on this forum!!

I made what I thought was an innocuous post about about the BB sub-state weekend. No disrespect intended to anyone, to any sport, to any athelete, or to any community.

I hope the vituperative responses of a very few do not represent the feelings of the rest of the members of this forum. I truly do not understand the harshness of their feelings about another high school sport or sports.

I enjoy and watch all high school sports. I feel very lucky that we have such sports for our kids and for us to watch. The US, and possibly Canada, are the only countries were we do have organized sports in our schools. In all other countries sports are conducted by clubs and sports schools on a pay for play basis. Sadly, with the nation wide budge crunch it may come to that here.

The high school wrestling season is over, the METRO Classic is done. I am going to log out and go watch some BB, and then some softball and baseball, maybe even some track.

What is it you cannot understand about this being a "wrestling" board? Try posting on one of those boards which I supplied you the links to, about something totally unrelated to their subject title, and see how it is received. Then get back to us.

contrarian-

1) the high school season was either done after state or still going. we still have sr. nationals, kids state, and the senior classic...these events are no less high school events than the metro classic. plus then we get into greco/freestyle and whole other host of things. high school baseball ends in may...do you think that baseball season ends in may? of course not, some of the best "high school" aged baseball happens at the summer tournaments that are played through july and then some fall ball that is played through october...same concept here, just because KSHSAA no longer has wrestling doesn't mean it has ceased.

2) i don't hate basketball, i can enjoy watching game from time to time. is it nearly the great sport wrestling is? no, not even close. however, i think what fired people up is that people took your comparison of bball to wrestling as you saying bball was better. you call the big bball weekend "biggest in hs sports." this insinuates that it's better than wrestling (and football, soccer, baseball, etc. for that matter). you refer to wrestling as a "family" event while basketball is a "community" event. the way you put that makes it look like you are favoring basketball. if you want to go watch basketball instead of post on this forum then do it. i don't care and i'm guessing neither does anyone else on here--but don't give us pro basketball comparisons and don't tell us when the season is over.

Middle School Duals
Schoolboy Duals
Cadet Duals
Junior Duals

The Grand Slam of wrestling for state pride! These are my favorite events! Along with my Renegades team at the Park Hill duals...

I can assure that most feel this way.



You knew exactly what you were doing. There was nothing innocent about your post.



If you never logged in again it would be too soon.



Second time you have started a response with this sentence. You have no idea!!

Welsh this is a topic I love to argue proceed with caution. To answer your question we Have One National Championship. I was in no way comparing KSU to ku!!!!! You see no mention of the Wildcats in that post. We can talk football last 20 years if you would like. We can talk about kus ridiculous football schedule the one year you were good if you would like. We can talk about how you have only won 2 Titles in 20 years, But continually have the best team in the Nation if you would like. You pick let me know. Remember the words of Forum Poster Ricky Bobby If you aint first your last!! translates too 18 years ku finished Last place out of twenty years

I guess our friend "Contrarian" doesn't understand the how deep the passions run for wrestling fans.

Hopefully Mr Big Word Fancy Pants has left the building. Didnt his Daddy tell him Basketball was for Girls? Our sport is said to be made by the Greek Gods your sport was made by a guy named fog in Lawrence Ks i mean come on.

neither KU or KSU needs to talk football, both were in the toilet, and are back again.

something contrarian also did was try to argue his point about bball having bigger crowds, yet never tried to make a point against football.

i don't mind watching basketball either, but only when it counts, i will watch KU and KSU in the tournament. but only after my wrestling day is over.

sorry i'm a harda$$, sorry you're a pumpkin pounder, glad i'm not.
