Re: Changes in WV Wrestling
Other good ways for guys to improve in the off season is by joining a club, if there is one close by. Getting in at least one or two good practices per week would go a long way. In a lot of areas throughout the state this option isn't available because of club dues and excessive travel, so trying to...

D II REGION III Results

Re: AA/A Regional Champions Losing Thursday
Finally!!! A little reasoning. Now this is an argument that I might be able to get on board with. The "Power's To Be" have created an overly lopsided region. The results show that in order for a more balanced state of competition at the state wrestling tournament, we propose trading these ...

Re: AA/A Regional Champions Losing Thursday
Yes you may or may not be an adult but you are surely talking. You have given zero examples of your ridiculous theory. Region 1 IS way better than your region. Period. You are making silly statements now. Region 1 has done very good, there is no denying that. However the rules are the rules and eac...

Webster's definition of "Entitled" : believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment. How does winning at least 14 more matches than your region show special treatment. Are you saying that referees are giving region 1 athletes special treatment?? Keep looki...

Re: How hurt is Shawn Taylor and a new commit
After the season that Ty Watters is having as a true freshman, I have a hard time seeing Rune taking a redshirt next year. Flynn is known for putting the best team possible on the mat, and I think he will be the best guy at 197. I can see Hoke needing a redshirt season. I think Robin will be at 184 ...

Re: Region 1 A/AA
I am confused by all this. Everyone should be rejoicing that Region 1 is so good. The conversation should be centered around on how to make Regions 2,3,&4 better. Bringing the bottom up toward the top is far better than pushing the top back down toward the bottom. Altering the qualification proc...

Re: How hurt is Shawn Taylor and a new commit
Shawn Taylor hasn’t wrestled all year. I was really looking forward to watching him wrestle at the Iron Man but unfortunately he didn’t wrestle. I would assume that the plan is have Shawn wrestle 165 after Peyton is done. Brody Conley needs to stay right where he is and Hoke Hogan might take a redsh...

Re: Big 12
Logistically, it makes no sense for WVU to host the Big 12. Operating costs are becoming a higher focus in everything and that is now including wrestling. What operating costs would they have that wouldn't be covered by the Big 12 Athletic Conference. The ticket sales would be more than enough to c...

This is the biggest problem with the BIG 12 conference, they have tended to hold their conference tournament at a neutral site since they started expanding.

I predict that there will be a lot of competitive matches that WVU comes up on the short end of.

If this team is at full strength th...
