Mr. Calhoun;
I hope I spelled your name right I am bad at that. I agree with you about the Grand State Tourney. It was a wonderful event, it would promote wrestlers to colleges around the country, it was the greatest single sporting event I have ever seen in Kansas High School athletics. You are absolutely right about your passion for this event and I wish I didn't know exactly why it was scuttled (and that is exactly the right term for it) but I do and I know that they will never let something that good happen again. I believe that the coaches are trying to get something they feel they can get and in their passion they are coming up with their best reasons for why they want it because in their hearts they know what I know, that Grand State is (saddly) a dead issue with the people that can allow it to happen. That is by design not accident. I applaud you for your passion to wrestling and you are not wrong. I was kidding and Doug a lot about the slander deal, he doesnt need me to defend him and I wanted to get a little shot in fun at Oakley. Keep dreamin my man that is how the Grand State happened in the first place.
