Has the 100 and 150 win marks lost their luster? With dual tournaments there are a lot more matches now days. A guy like Zach Roberson had to win every match just to reach 153 wins that is more impressive than a guy that goes 150-10...right?
Are you kidding?
"Has the 100 and 150 win marks lost their luster?" How can this be taken any other way but derogatory? It is totally derogatory. He wasn't really even asking a question. It was a totally rhetorical question that totally took away from the accomplishments that the thread was trying to celebrate. There was no need to even bring up Roberson, that in itself took "luster" away from the accomplishments of those we were celebrating this season. Everyone knows who Roberson is and how great he was. No one needed a history leasson. The thread was totally hijacked.
"Stats can be skewed", what the heck are you saying? Are you saying that some of these kids, or their coaches or parents lied? Now you have made a derogatory comment insinuating foul play and that certainly takes "luster" from the accomplishments the thread was intending to celebrate.
Nobody said that Mr. Bontz or Mr. Cokeley were being derogatory, I certainly didn't. Their comments and any comments with regard to Roberson and going undefeated were a seperate issue that I was not even concerned with or compelled to respond to.
And we were trying to celebrate the accomplishments and move on. But a couple of people made some knuckle headed comments that needed to be addressed. If you leave it at that we can continue to celebrate and move on. Otherwise there will be more rebuttal.
