I really appreciate those who are educated knowing the whole picture and coming to my aide. Ray I've enjoyed watching Eric and he probably hates it but I've slipped and yelled go Lil Arveson watching Jon. I'm glad that Eric is helping out in Hutchinson at the middle school to keep the wrestling blood pumping...so often across the state and nation the large number of wrestler's don't give back...but overrall the state of Kansas has a great reputation of wrestlers trying to give back...(some communities more than others).

Regardless of what was said and not totally read or otherwise, I'm glad I got 2 more voices onto a message board even if they want my head on a platter...I've seen better people with their heads on a platter, wait until you have the opportunity to save a college or even a high school wrestling team from being dropped but you are unsuccesful because of the people who once cared about wrestling don't care anymore, it's a sad reality and I'm not saying wrestling may go at Chapman(if they even tried to get rid of it hell would be raised) but I wouldn't be surprised to see a men's sport cut in the next year or 2 (could be tennis could be anything) unless a women's sport gets added due to Title IX. Right now with the addition of baseball for 2005 that now puts Men's Sports at 9 and women's at 7...heck 5 of the 9 are in the Spring for the guys which just dilutes each sport and makes it harder sometimes to do better, but that's another subject for another time...
