Dual wins are really irrelevant. Teams and wrestlers get wins when the other team has an open weight. You shouldnt get a win unless you wrestle someone, unless it is a tourney and the guy has an injury. I think they are glorified practices. Colby's results in duals prove it. I mean only one of those duals was relatively close. Anytime the other team gets outscored 80-0, that defines practice to me. Now i am not trashing the Colby program or anything like that, i am just trashing duals. I think the fact that there is not state records on dual wins in a season also proves my point. Tourney results are more telling of your team than duals.
just my opinion.
who cares. takedowns are an inflated stat. Some of the really good wrestlers out there don't play with weaker opponents by repeatedly taking a wrestler down and letting him up. This is the one thing in wrestling that bugs the crap out of me. I also don't want to hear that the really good wrestler needs the work or needs the conditioning. They are not getting that much more work by repeatedly taking the guy down because obviously it is not that hard if they can do it over and over again. I would like to hear some feedback on this and i am sorry to stryofoam for venting on his post, just some thoughts of mine came to mind.
Dual wins are irrelevant or just practice well yeah but at least I can host 4 to 5 home events per year so all the young kids can watch wrestling because we know the basketball team is at home at least that much.
Takedowns are inflated yeah if your running the score up on a weaker wrestler probably but most matches at the state tournament will be won on a takedown.
Just wondering what you liked about wrestling?
