You have just dated yourself Egg... your OLD! But I remember Nick crussin town in his VW and sitting in the back seat to drive, man that dude had alot of hair on his back!

I have on several occasion spoke with Mr. Bowden trying to resolve this dilemma, I know and understand the kind of pain he has experienced, this is not attack against Rick. But the board knew this was a problem since my youngest was a freshman he now will be a senior. So to say that there wasn’t time to find a solution I refuse to believe. They could have signed a contract 3 years ago with someone in the state. Now my son will most likely wrestle his last matches in the same environment that he started his high school career a “High School Gym” As I have said before, State is a big deal to the kids, schools, families and fans. These people deserve better.

My second question is… do you really get to sit on the floor in Hays or do they make you guys sit in the stands? You mentioned floor seating! There really wasn’t a bad seat in the house at Ahearn, when I was a kid they used to hang in the rafters to watch games… If it was good enough for Bobby Kennedy it’s good enough for High school wrestling!


I’m not very smart… but I can lift heavy things!
