Re: Sikora Soft

Is this really the best we can do for tracking the state tournament? The system is horrible. So many options and this is what we get? The entire website was unreachable last night and the AA-A bracket is still only half updated this morning. WV continues to do things the hard way. Go to the What's ...

Re: BIG 12's

It may seem like the rankings matter, and maybe they do to an extent, but to say that is the rankings are the only factor or even the biggest determining factor is not a true statement. Strength of schedule, and RPI, play a big part as well. I never stated that rankings were the biggest or only fac...

In so many days before the regional tournaments, I laid out a different approach to the state tournament qualification process.

Each conference has a different number of allocations for every weight class. The BIG 10 has the most allocations with a total number of 87, the BIG 12 has the second most with 61, and the SoCon has the fewest with 13. Each weight class is looked at and evaluated individually to see how competitive...

Let's get some thoughts on the regular season and the upcoming post season. 125: Jett has had a good year and with 7 qualifying spots he should be safely in for the NCAA tournament. 133: Tommy Maddox will probably need a little help to q...

Wrestlers need to be tough. Wrestlers also need to be smart. Some regions do not require the same level of toughness. The outdated state qualification process we use now is dumb.
