Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, welcome to the "Greatest Show on Earth" Boy I hope the copyright police are on a donut break. This event is with out a doubt a magnificent showcase to conclude a scholastic season of wrestling. I have been fortunate to be asked to coach in this premier presentation of exceptional athletes three times and am humbled by the outstanding performances of both Kansas and Missouri.
As a very infrequent poster to this forum I will direct my statements to what I see as the most important issue when the Metro Classic Thread arrives each year. Graditude.
Thanks to the athletes for their committment, talent, and courage to take on one more great challenge in their senior year.
Thanks to Gary Ulmer, Randy Westfahl, and all those behind the scenes who make this happen each year.
Thanks to the fans who provide readers of this forum with hours of entertainment with your comments whether they are accurate, inacurate, or just plain crazy.
I understand that to many the radius, weighin, choice of participant, are critical issues but as Tommy Boy would say "Just let it go, man" Enjoy the matches and to the victor congrats
