Happy Festivus!

[slushhead]

I think we might need to start this a bit early this year.

Now, as you know, the great tradition of Festivus begins with the airing of grievances . . .

Have at it, folks. 😉

@slushhead

Let me know when it's time for feats of strength!

 

[amattaro]

Aliquippa football voluntarily plays up two classes, then gets involuntarily promoted up a third, wins a state title, and now PIAA going to send them to 5A. Burrell wrestling wins 15 straight WPIAL AA team titles and no mention of them moving up. F the PIAA.

When was Burrell's last state team title?

 

[Raw Daddy]

AA in the WPIAL is weak. Waynesburg is AA but wrestles up. McGuffey did in the 90s and 2000s. Burrell wouldn’t have nearly as many trophies if they would move up voluntarily.

 

[smalls103]

PIAA trophies or WPIAL trophies?

Because only one of those drives mandatory reclassification. The other matters to about 1/4 of the state.

Coming on only Day 3 of our 12-day celebration of Festivus, this seems a bit premature (still many more grievances to be aired, plus feats of strength, before succumbing to good cheer). But we’ll allow it this one time.

Just keep the recruits coming in and we won't publicly discuss how much you are payed.

Neither here nor there because the formula doesn’t apply to wrestling, but this statement is incorrect. Points are applied for qualifying for state tournament and additional points applied for advancement.

I assume A Aliquippa plays many kids both ways. Shoving them up to 5A becomes a safety concern.

 

[amattaro]

I would, but I am not sure what time it starts

 

[STAND with PRIDE]

Hopefully Kevin Jackson isnt in charge of weigh-ins.

So then why did you beef about Burrell in the first place?

On the first day of Festivus my true love gave to me ... a pole, in a tree...

On the second day of festivus my true love gave to me….2 Cornell transfers and a pole in a pear tree…
[please..by all means…continue]

 

[STAND with PRIDE]

On the third day of festivus, my true love gave to me
THREE point take downs, 2 MORE Cornell transfers, and the pole from Wino’s cabin.

 

[nerfstate]

On the fourth day of festivus my true love gave to me, four stall-calling Brands’, THREE point take downs, 2 MORE Cornell transfers, and the pole from Wino’s cabin.

 

[APSPSUwrestlingfan]

On the fifth day of festivus my true love gave to me, FIVE National Champions, four stall-calling Brands’, THREE point take downs, 2 MORE Cornell transfers, and the pole from Wino’s cabin.

 

[El-Jefe]

I'm gonna skip ahead to ,,,

EIGHT scoring wrestlers.

You college coaches, I know you're watching, and you need to get your shit together and put accurate line-ups in for Wrestling Notes. You're screwing up a good game. Don't give me that crap about injuries. You know darn well that the guy in a body cast on Tuesday isn't going to be wrestling on Friday. He isn't "down in the room working out," it isn't "up to him." He's injured, and won't be wrestling. Quite screwing up our little game.

Oh, and you KYPSW players aren't off the hook here. Not putting who the match is against? Unacceptable. And, the nicknames. Oh, the nicknames. Yes, I understand they can be cute and funny - in other discussions. But, they don't compute as I'm entering picks in the spreadsheet. AB? CarStar? CStar? Yes, I know who they are. That doesn't mean it doesn't trip me up as I'm quickly entering data. And, let's not forget years past, when we had Raptor, and even UPS.

Then, let's not forget this beauty...Miller DEC Shunk, Shunk DEC Miller. How is that going to happen? They bang heads in the middle of the match, fall down simultaneously, and the match ends? I know, that's still not a DEC, but you get my point. (Sorry, CVan, couldn't resist. Oh, the nicknames.)

Am I doing this right?

You sound pissed..

 

[slushhead]

On the fifth day of festivus my true love gave to me, FIVE National Champions, four stall-calling Brands’, THREE point take downs, 2 MORE Cornell transfers, and the pole from Wino’s cabin.

On the sixth day of Festivus, my true love gave to me: SIX-pack abs, FIVE National Champions, FOUR stall-calling Brandses, THREE-point takedowns, TWO more Cornell transfers, and the pole from Wino’s cabin.

 

[pawrestlersintn]

There's a fine line between simple grievances and being pissed. I must've been a hair over the line. I'll try to make up for it in the thankful part.

Lighten up Francis!

I just had to, assuming my link works…..

 

[PSUbluTX]

On the sixth day of Festivus, my true love gave to me: SIX-pack abs, FIVE National Champions, FOUR stall-calling Brandses, THREE-point takedowns, TWO more Cornell transfers, and the pole from Wino’s cabin.

On the seventh day of Festivus my true love gave to me: SEVEN cute wrestler nicknames, a SIX-pack of smalls’ bud heavies, FIVE National Champions, FOUR stall-calling Brandses, THREE-point takedowns, TWO more Cornell transfers, and the pole from Wino’s cabin.

I think you just need a hug. Ask Mrs patn for a good one.

Now that it's in sequence... Bump.

If E-Jefe gets his gift on the 8th day, then the NCAA title is locked up for Penn State baby!😏

FIFY.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Well since today is the day I'd like to wish you all a Happy Festivus!

 

[Raw Daddy]

I’ll start with grievances…

I can’t believe how bad the on air talent is for wrestling. Shane is good, but the color guys are awful. John Smith when he does the Olympics is awesome, but obviously limited there. It’s actually awkward to watch them on the BTN.

The most appropriate place to post “the airing of grievances” is on HR.😏

There are others that excel at it, but they don’t seem to get the big calls because they don’t work for flo, and have other responsibilitie. Hazard and Bryant are super polished pros, for instance. Obviously, we like our guy for good reasons too. TJ & Gibbons have lost something in recent years but are OK.

Byers has an excellent announcing voice. I would like to see Byers do BTN matches. I think he would be excellent.

while he does a great job and homerism is an advantage, he does miss the tech aspects a lot such as calling out the wrong moves at times. I do think some of the reason for that is trying to keep track of everything and still watch the match.

He would need a technically sound partner. Put DT with him and see how it works.

I am trying to picture Ironhead calling a complete Iowa-tOSU match. It would be an interesting experiment.
