Eric,

Well I doubt there is any danger of anyone saying that you have ever demonstrated a bias against your own team. The point of my bringing up your tendency to include SM East wrestlers in your predictions and rankings was not to say they are wrong or that they did not prove to be accurate. I think SM East had a very good team last year and I congratulate them on their performance all year long and especially at State.

The point though was that I believe that if any of those heavier guys I mentioned had been SM East wrestlers that you would without a doubt have mentioned them. I mean I have admitted at times on this forum when I take a stand on something like more weight classes for heavier guys that I have a personal interest in it. Heck on an earlier post in another topic I admitted that I had a biased opinion about it but I thought Jake Walker of Aquinas would win a State title next year in 5A and I do believe that. Can you honestly expect me to believe that if any of the heavier 2009 guys I mentioned had been SM East wrestlers that you would not have taken more than a brief glance at them and included them on your original list?
