Mark,that was very well put. I would also like to ad that I'm very proud of my city and the people that help it be a great place to live. I don't say much on this forum beacuse i like to see and read the thoughts of people in our wrestling community.I would rather stay behind the scenes when it comes to some of these topics. I enjoy wrestling and I have loved this sport my whole life. I would take my son to western Kansas if that is where the state tournament is to be held and I would do it without blinking an eye. I would pay outragous hotel fees, buy expensive food, and smile the whole time,just so my son could have his day of glory next Sunday afternoon.You can't put a price on that. No way, no how! Finally,Topeka is a great place for this tournament but the middle of nowhere comes available we'll be there with bells on.
