Why is it that the entire State doesn't have the same criteria for seeding purposes in the respective sectional tournaments??

How about when they move to my single Division, 32-man bracket, top eight All-Ohio format...The League Tourney would start the post season run. Top four at League move on to Sectionals.

OCC has been going at it all season long..Sr. vs. Jr.

Have an OCC tournament and we will spend close to half of our available points on the league. For the state tournament break the divisions up like they were in early 80's with the smallest division having less schools and only having an 8 man bracket. Take remaining schools and distribute into the two other divisions.

I'm not sure that competition is healthy for our young people. As we all know, disappointment hurts.

I think maybe 32 divisions, with a 32 man brackets
If you make the tournament,.... you place
When you weigh-in, if you're slightly over, you could plead your case. Thirst and hunger should NEVER be a disqualifier to competition.
Just imagine,--- all of the happy athletes.

I know a few people that can't get one of these.

Are race car driver shoes really just wrestling shoes with a fire retardant spray on them??

WRONG- not if I have my way, my good man
OHSAA should be completely changed – top to bottom to be more “individual centered”.. “feelings centered”
State Rulebook and State Record Pages should be completely restructured to put less emphasis on being “good” or “better” or “more accomplished” ….for instance-

• Post-match handshaking is demeaning-…Period… loose it! --People who haven’t wrestled have no idea how degrading it is to have to shake an opponent or his coaches hand- plus it shows everyone in the stands that I’m right.
• A new state record category of “headgear toss” should be added. Distance measured, and recognition given.
• A new category should be added for “Escapes”. --Being cut by your opponent several times per period should be a recognized skill-…..long overdue
• Hottest Wrestling Mom is a much overlooked category in our sport. Points should be awarded pre-match, and should ALWAYS be the deciding factor for overtime situations. (Those boys are tired…they just went 6 min…why go another second, when we could do a “Mom-Off”?)
• Best Team Singlet/Warm-up- wrestling has been lacking one thing, for a long, long time…Fashion Sense…end of story
• Remove the “division” and “school” categories completely. What division do you “feel” like? -Its important. And what coach and program “fits” you better? – Also very important. (I’ve always known my son would have easily been a 4-timer had his coach and program just been able to rise to his level of sheer awesomeness)
• MVW, is from now on, MDW (most deserving wrestler) – the parents vote on this, rather than coaches, and several, I MEAN SEVERAL, are given out at each event. And the trophies are FRIG’N HUGE.
• The college “riding time” concept will be adopted in High School, but will be replaced by “struggling time”. ---Being completely controlled, or on your back is exhausting, and it’s about time it becomes a point earner.
• ALL seeding meetings for any High School Events will take into account the youth and middle school records as THE top criteria. We all know it ALWAYS translates directly into future greatness-
• Each match has the “tag team” option that may be exercised. At any point in the match, the wrestlers dad (or in some cases mom) can come down from the bleachers and “tag into” the match. (after all- isn’t my primary role as parent, to prevent discomfort?)
• And last, but not least- every loss will be reviewed on the parent’s camcorder to see if the boy should have won, if only the coach and/or referee would have removed his head from his butt, or listened to the boys dad. This camcorder review WILL be the official result to the match, and more than one winner can be awarded per match.

You do raise a couple of good points...

...not really, just bored until I fire up the grill, go for a run, then turn on Penn State vs. Minn at 9:30pm

When is the 2012 Breakman coming out?

It's Brakeman, funny man. You'll pay for that on Wednesday, my friend.

ps: Lord Brakeman says Jan. 27, 2012 looks very good.
