I would rather be watching this sport as well, Jimmy. Credit?? That small percent of parents aren't calling the Chiefs or going to their games. Maybe we as coaches should say during signups in Nov. Parents it cost $X for 20 tourny's plus qualifing tournys'. If you can't afford it go buy a X Box its $300.00 one time fee, and if you have extra money you can go live.

wow read every post on this took awhile lol, might be the longest thread of 2012 i think all of you have some good points the only point i can't see is who in there right mind would want to watch the chiefs, i could see watching the broncos but the chiefs.

come on Jeff Chiefs will pick up Peyton Manning since he is older and how can you go with Broncos without Shannahan and Elway?

like i told bockman, broncos will give you chiefs tebow then u need to sign dick vermil back as coach, so when the chiefs are loseing one can be praying to god while the other is crying.

Yet there are 2 subs that are weighing from 5:30-8:00 the other six subs are weighing in from 6-8 (according to their event flyers), a "major item" said Matt Treaster! I hope they are doing this due to the miles they have to travel. They are getting and extra 30 mins to cut weight or make weight, however you want to look at it. Also 2 subs using the Split session format and 6 going with the standard format. Don't see the uniformaty. Not sure how, but if the by-laws don't say no satellite weigh ins and the Governing board doesn't keep it uniform (like they claim) why we can't follow the host tourny directors instructions (as per By-laws) and have a satellite with paid HS officials with their signature on skin/nail/hair and weight certification?

to funny-- it would be like a talk forum then

Bottom line, I am confident that a district could have a satellite weigh in, then spend money gettting an injunction to have a judge tell us that the kids who were declared ineligible, can still wrestle.........But who wants to spend money on attorneys? Sounds like we need to just let it rest for this year's series. Someone needs to make a proposal to be voted on at the state body meeting, so that we can do satellite weighins next year.

#1. Research needs to be done on the # state series that allow "satellite weigh-ins". The variables are substantial in the State series. Many already
have been described in this column. An informed decision making process brought forth as a proposal---however, this may be opening Pandora's box inasmuch as to does satellite weigh-in stop at subs, district or state? Easily arguable if its a time, $$ issue not so much if its an integrity issue. Would it truly come down to we'd have 'more participants' in subs? Doubtful.

< 2 years ago a university coach (CA) was fired for weight fixing his wrestlers.

***As well he should have been............And if someone would violate the trust that the wrestling community puts in him/her at a weigh in, they should be banned from any participation in our sport.*********
