John, we actually have met a few times though I don't think you remember me much. Your point was that Kansas weight problem was Kansas own problem and I just don't agree with that point. People spend a lot of time on here ripping everything Kansas and, respectfully, I simply disagree with this particular point. I think the weight allowances are a very good thing when you factor in the growth that is taking place in these kids. I understand the logic to it, and my use of Ohio in my post was made simply to illustrate that it is not a "Kansas" thing. Quite a few thoughtful wrestling people came up with this rule nationally, and they had the best interest of the wrestlers in mind when they did it. By the way, I am a fan of your son, he has done a great job. Good luck to him this weekend.
