League tournament tonight: Purcell Marian was the Freshman, JV, and varsity GCL Central team champions. Though we lost to 2 kids we had beaten earlier in the year from Elder, the team responded well and some kids stepped up big time. Get the brooms out...clean sweep.

Moeller beat Elder for the overall championship 259.5 to 258.5. For those of you who don't understand, that is the equivalent of 1 kid the entire tournament, pinning vs winning by points in 1 match. It came down to the HWT matches and Elder's HWT lost.

Contrary to football, the wrestling team gets it done.

You know what really gets my goat. People who think they are owed something just because of who they are. The kind of people who can't handle when an "inferior" team or individual rises up and becomes better. They expect to be given some type of respect just because they have a history of being good...Child Please!

Elder's football team got it done this year...

SaintsFan, I'm enjoying the multiple identity changes

Since the last post hasn't been since February 15th, I wanted to end the silence.  I'll throw a topic out.  Who should the Rams take for the first pick, Braford, Suh, or McCoy?  I would think they should go with Braford to help prepare them for the future and they just signed Fred Robbins (even though his numbers have dropped) and b/c rumors are saying they are going to release Bulger too.

So is my gf... ha. 

Only I can't take credit for this name.  Cave2 helped me out...

yea but with a name like Rock Stickler you need to sport a mustache that would make Burt Reynolds jealous.  with out you are just another 70's wannabe pornstar.

HasBeen - they need bradford if is shoulder is not shredded.  SUH is the biggest impact player in the draft for the next 4 years, but the rams have way too much tied into the Dline if they go that route and their d is still not that great.  they need to score points and get the fan base going.  i am in St. Louis every couple of weeks and they all think the rams are a joke and no one wants anything to do with them.  at least with the Lions they get support because everyone wants to hold on for the glimer of hope

oh i'm working on that, 70.  So far I haven't cut my hair since October... and I'm at the length of Bradley Cooper in The Hangover now... going a bit longer, I think.  The mustache has to wait though.  I had to book a flight to Fort Lauderdale yesterday for this coming Monday, so I can clean up a mess that just happened with a grower in South Florida.  The mustache wouldn't have been in by Monday, so I shaved it off to completely keep me from temptation.

I agree about St. Louis needing Bradfrod.  Plus giving a Dlineman 12 million a year is hard to swallow for any team.  A qb or LT I can see giving that kind of money, but not anyother position.  I think that is why Detroit took Stafford (other than needing a someone who can put points on the board) instead of Curry who was realistically the top player in the draft.
In regards to St. Louis fans thinking the Rams are a joke and not wanting anything to do with them will hopefully be what brings them back to LA!  Them or the Jaguars having to do to not being able to support a team there.
Also, with the Lions, I will always have a glimer of hope!  I'm seeing the Lions being a playoff team in about two or three seasons.  I know for some that is a long time to wait, but I feel like they are on the right track.  They've addressed some major issues with free agency at the Dline, CB (even though both CB's aren't studs but possible starters), and a 2nd wide receiver to take pressure of Calvin Johnson.  Now instead of McCoy or Suh they need to grab Okung at LT.  I know both DLineman are hard to pass up, but Backus isn't a true LT and with them picking up Williams who is better in a 4-3, Vanden Bosh, and Sammie Lee Hill in the middle can help them to take a LT instead of DT.  Just my thoughts from a hopeful Lions fan!

We were close to making the playoffs in 2000.  I still have a grudge against kickers due to the fact that ours missed two XP's and we lost by one which ended our hopes to the HCAC crown and an AQ to the playoffs.  Oh well, DC made it the following year and got handled by Augustana.

[SaintsFAN]

That DC team in 2001 that I saw in Crestview Hills was NOT a playoff team, IMO.  They just happened to win the HCAC


And BTW, just got back from a quickie down to Fort Lauderdale this morning... man I love that part of Florida.  Our company is putting an office down there in Boca Raton in the next calendar year (12 months from now for you rocket scientists (Adam)) and I'm going to be 1st on the list of being asked if I want to relocate down there --- the answer is yes and my lady has family in Boca, so we're good. 

Yes, phags --- I have a lady.

[dc_has_been]

That's great to have an opinion Rock, just like everyone has buttholes, but did DC get into the playoffs regardless of how they got in?  Yes, so that makes them a playoff team.

[70_dc_alum]

Boca??  you have an issue.  in the next 12 months how are you going to age 50 years?

the 2001 DC team was a playoff team and was as good as the typical HCSC champ (basically every HCSC champ but the recent Franklin run).  of course the typical HCSC champ is not a treat for Salem.
