You really just are a miserable person.... Yes the Midlands isnt what it was... But we did win it while sending only a few wrestlers there that counted for team points... Overall the guys wrestled pretty well..
Wow, I may lose my crown.I think there is some merit to what he is saying.We looked like heros in a watered down tournament. Essentially the Midlands are riding the coat tails of a reputation long gone.

settle down shitliner... hehehe... If we sent our whole team thats one thing... But we basically had only 4 point scorers... and still won it... Not anything to hang our hat on.. I get it... But c'mon man...

I love SCW’s motor, solid performance from Catka and Cotton, I think Barbosa has the brightest future of our freshman’s. Harer got a nice win off k. Miller. Idk what happened to Clark… he ended last year strong and now… yeah .. burnt out? Give Shawver his flowers for finishing whole tourney but people like to make excuses like bigger talent people and he’s resorting back to what he truly always has been but can we just get the old Shawver back?

His next match is Blaze which is a nightmare matchup for Shawver. Hes either gonna get techd or if he comes with his A game, majored. Hopefully he brings his A game and gains some confidence. If he gets ragdolled, could this be another Barr/Poz situation where he packs it in?

How in the world are these situations similar? Poz had like 5 concussions and should have hung it up well before that match even happened. But please do keep telling us how much they are an awesome team. We could never figure that out on our own. FREEDOM!

I'm pleased that we won. the team did do as well as i expected but a win is a win. I just don't expect much this season. it's not an exciting team to watch.
Perfect response, glad they won also, but I gave up season tickets after 12 years because this team has become unwatchable these past few years

Miserable and/or enjoys trying to make others miserable. What a way to live. Congrats to our team who did something never done before.

Sad to say, this will be our last year as well after 14 yrs.. There's no excitement. I was ready to poke my eyes out during the Oklahoma match. At times I just held my head in my hands and said, "Jesus, will somebody please shoot". It's now become a chore to get to matches.

Shoot? I see some bending and reaching.
