Might be some of the same people!
IM Tournament was legendary. Do they even run it anymore?

Re: Lehigh Valley Open

If you want to see slow motion wrestling, add a Centenarian classification, not to be confused with Centurion Category. :D

Re: Columbia Head Coach Opening

If you are referring to a Dillon replacement, yes, elevate ZRey and Evan Henderson and hire a new guy.....plenty to choose from. There have been many openings through the years, I just wonder how many Brad has put in for if any. Yes, a AD coach in his 40s, now is about the time to pull the string. ...

Re: Over-Coaching?

I concur and PA was similar until around 1973, but it did take until 70s to allow any Catholic schools in. Now even a few former Preps have migrated to PIAA like Milton Hershey School and Church Farm School. Would love to see PIAA to go single event for Olympic individual sports. Do you really need...

Re: Over-Coaching?

Maybe if ACC explodes as predicted by those on this forum with a couple wrestling programs leaving the EIWA becomes the remaining school home. Or they reach out to Lehigh/Army/Navy to be their 6th + schools to remain a qualifying league? Without that EIWA is a joke. EIWA is a survivor and in this e...

Re: Transfer portal

All true. Everything LUEngineer says. Oh, but if it were so when it comes to selling the uniqueness of the program. IMO, Pat and his staff do a great job with what they have. Truly remarkable in fact. Many have developed nicely. But not enough. But after seeing the list and understanding the Power ...

Re: Transfer portal

HFO...thank you for your post and a bit of nostalgia. I want to infuse a bit of optimism. I am very cautiously optimistic about the new President. He will not fulfill every requirement for everybody but he has already checked a lot of boxes IMO. The 46% acceptance # everyone alludes to was during C...
