I'm all for the big "3". Why wrestle the same kids week after week at the smaller tournaments? Alot of clubs and myself included travel all around the state and into Oklahoma just to wrestle different kids, not looking for the "belt" but different styles of wrestling and compitision. How many of us take our kids to, Tulsa, Okla. city, Liberty, Big horn, etc. and do NOT place but got to wrestle REALLY good kids? Now as far as taking away from smaller tournaments there are more kids in the sea needing a place to wrestle due to the fact they are not at the calibur, of the ones who are wrestling at the big venues. I know if my son had his choice of going to one of the big "3" or wrestling some of the same kids we've already seen his choice would be "THE BIG ONE" Just my thoughts....As for tailgating I'm in both at state or the Big "3" because I'm Nuts over Nutts!!!!
