Doc does an outstanding job. I challenge you to do better. LOL. This web site, as I see it, is second to none. I suggest to the unsatisified person to do what famous coach once said...."Lead, follow or get out of the way".

Mason, thanks for keeping up with EF . I try to keep up also. It's important to build a good solid base of support of former wrestlers and coaches. The kids need to know we support them and are pulling for them.

If it is not a secret, how bad is WVU's 125 injury?

Feelings not hurt. Looking for productive discussion. Doc and I are old school and not lazy. Doc especially, he has run this website for many many years for no financial gain. It has unified WV wrestling and kept the lines of communication open.

RU4real.....Thanks for the name calling me lazy and and not understanding of the hard work and skill needed. LOL, please spare me. Anyway, you may not agree the the answer, name calling dose nothing for the discussion. For the record, I'm a pill supporter. However, I do have an open mind if a issue ...

Most of the officials do a great job, even if they blow a call once in a while(none of us are perfect). I do think if you are from the same county as a kid in the semis or finals, that official should at least offer to the other coach to recuse himself from the match. The opposing coach may know the...

Doc's solution makes sense and is easiest. I don't like a true(I call untrue) second either for the stated reasons above.

No ratings from coaches and other officials? Who decides when the applications are in?

How are the State Tournament officials picked now?

Just "swallow the pill" and wrestle!!!

I could support it for the State Tournament, not the other WV tournaments. I would restrict it though to you must have all matches as pins. No decisions. No award if this does not occur.

Panther coach has hit the nail on the head.....

contend, not content, LOL

Looking pretty good. Saw him get beat in Morgantown to a highly ranked kid from OSU, but, I'd be surprised if he didn't content for All-American this year.

Man OSU is loaded. I did expect WVU to win a couple more matches at home. We didn't compete very well. I think OSU had a lot to do about that. Keep pluggin away. I do think(WVU) we are considerably better than last year.

I'm with aacoach22. AA/A region 1 is loaded to the hilt.

Life doesn't give perfect opportunities, so neither does wrestling, seeding or the pill. As discussed by many, I'm still a big supporter of the pill. I do however like the guy who stated Ohio might do something a little different if two returning state champions are in the same weigh class. But once...

Thanks Panther coach. It means something coming from you. I once had an hour long debate with another coach trying to avoid someone for a Middle School conference tournament. We eventually ended up randomly drawing the bracket. Luckily, the four best kids ended up exactly where they should have been...

The pill takes the BS out of seeding. I've been in seeding meetings dominated by 1-2 self serving idiots that either bully or control the meeting by stalling and arguing. I've seen brackets blown up by egomaniacs trying to avoid certain people. What ever pill it is, you still must win to advance. It...

Listen to Panther_coach. He is right on.

Yes, several programs now after down to 2 for many years. This is a great thing. Sad that Marshall does not have one.

Hope you are correct.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he spent significant amount of time in and may be from Elkins. Anyone have more details? Yes he went to HS in Mass.

WVU has 5 WV's on their roster. Let the bull build his team. I don't know, but I can't help but think if he sees a D1 prospect from WV he'll be after them. Do you miss some? Sure you do. At this point, he really seems to be turning things around.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Mitch Smith, I think, started out at Hofstra-D1 for a couple of years. Did well, then came to WL. Is my memory wrong?

Cottrell and Smith are off to good starts at WVU. Have not seen results for the others. Check out WVU's wrestling results for specific results regarding WVU wrestlers.

Keep the pill. Random is much better than the seeding process. To much time, energy and politics go into seeding meetings. I'd much rather take my chances with the pill than some adult coach with other motives. The pill has no preconceived notions. It is way more fairer than any other method.

Thanks, but I don't know Ken!!!!

Nice 3-0 start for WVU. How did they look? I had to work and was not able to attend.
