  1. 42 states including National Preps use the 14 weight set across the county. I would say use those, but I'm just a dead senator. 4 states are using the 13 weight set(Minnesota, New Mexico, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania) 1 state(Alaska) is using the 1996ish weight set(103, 112, 119, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 152, 160, 171, 189, 215, 285) Idaho has 15 weights, the old set plus 98lbs New York uses the NFHS 12 weight set plus 101lbs Montana has a modified set of weights(103, 113, 120, 126, 132, 138, 145, 152, 160, 170, 182, 205, 285)
  2. Using 170/182 is dumb. Pretty much the whole country other than a state or two are using the new weights.
  3. Those tournaments went into paper and pencil mode and don't care to update the brackets.
  4. Flo gets their servers from Wish.com
  5. Your war on the coin flip is weird. I can only imagine you were out maneuvered a couple times now you want to eliminate that. You can't even tell me how many times the coin flip has affected duals so your big war on this doesn't have any legs. Comparing to tennis is dumb, it's totally different. Would a coach be penalized if after the "locked" lineup he forfeits and says his kid got dinged up in warmups? Locked lineups are stupid and should never happen. The coin flip can add excitement and gives coaches flexibility in a sport where there is very little. Keep the excitement and ability to shift your lineup during the dual. Coaches want the option to be able to pull off a lineup shift late in a dual.
  6. How often does the coin toss determine a dual in your mind? You act like this happens way more than it truly does. The gamesmanship is great for the sport. A coach going to a line-up shift due to some results earlier in the dual is fun. Having a locked lineup is flat out dumb and serves no purpose.
  7. What do you have against gamesmanship? The bump or no bump is an exciting part of dual meets, especially ones with high stakes. It is something you don't get to see much in wrestling due to having weight classes and most of the times very few toss-up matches. The solution is simple, if you have a weak kid and he would be overmatched coach him up. Teach him to stay off his back and slow the match down. Make the kid better, plain and simple. High stakes duals with lineup shifts are exciting. See the Iowa vs. Iowa State match from this weekend as a great example.
  8. Jumping in late and in reference to Gable's charisma/mic skills. Gable is very different behind the scenes than what most see when he's on the wrestling mat. He's pretty quiet and reserved overall. Hearing about potential "mic" issues doesn't really surprise me at all.
  9. Tell me you blindly believe everything on Fox News without tell me.
