Well, Holladay, No one said to cancel the bb game. It is hard for me to believe the MIAA does not allow for individual schools to make changes in their schedules; Thursday night instead of Friday; swap home and away, etc. Surely, FHSU is not the only MIAA member that has schedule conflicts and surely the MIAA schedules two years at a time, making it even easier for schools to trade dates if necessary. Further, I find it hard to believe that the MIAA commissioner/scheduler does not have those dates to look at when building the schedules.

And, IF IN fact it is true there is NO flexibility allowed by the MIAA then we should definitely look elsewhere as this will be, at least, an every other year issue.

As I stated earlier, it is not just a wrestling issue with Fort Hays and it is not just an MIAA issue; it is a lot about FHSU's ATTITUDE regarding their hosting of high school events. . . and I too hold a degree from FHSU.

Defend all you want, but I think other options should be explored.

And, Fan of the Sport

#1 that long highway runs both ways. We spend a goodly portion of our time in the eastern part of the state for other activities; without a doubt more than they spend "out here."

#2. lets beat some more dead horses while we are at it:
A. find a venue that can accommodate a combined tournament; leads us to another dead horse argument
B. too many classes, which leads us to
C. crappy officiating
D. bring back grand state
