I just finished reading the proposal from the link that Mike Juby posted this morning & do admittedly like the proposal. I do in fact think these would also be well recieved events that the fans would enjoy. I especially like that they would take place in lieu of the league Tourneys which have in many cases lost their luster. You can't argue with the fact that they would be a bigger draw & fan friendly YET, ...I still can't help but think how great it would be to have a Grand State event (with or without the KSHSAA involvement) a week later that pits top overall individuals.... & for the moneys generated to filter back to the State Kids Organization as it serves as the feeder for the snowball effect in our sport and & to the In State Wrestling Colleges for scholarships to help ensure that we keep our programs in place & our wrestlers at home. All I'm trying.. I guess to say while we're talking about food,.. is that not only would the Grand State be GRAND, but also that there is PIE out there to be ate for whoever is willing to step up to the plate. Lets help out our colleges to help us get to the next level by giving them more funds to use for IN STATE college wrestling scholarships. AND By the way Gangreen that Girls PumpkinBall event in Iowa has nothing to do with us.... I am from Kansas & want nothing but success for Wrestling in this State & have to respectfully disagree with you that an event of this caliber wouldn't work also & be very beneficial to us. Ala Mode
