Phippen,
I would like to help you guys get out early on Sunday, but it is doubtful. If he knows any of your stuff, then you'll be there til the end.
Allie,
You are in luck; they have that horse thing going on at the Expocentre this weekend too.
Benelli,
I recommend a Browning Gold Hunter. A lot less kick (and barrel lift) and the best safety button hands down.
Mighty's Mom,
There's nothing wrong with having your son going to dance.
Bockman,
Get your daughters some fishing poles along with the guns.
We all need to spend less time on wrestling. But, I agree that it's tough to do when there are tournaments available from Nov through March, and nobody wants to get behind. But, the keys to being a great HS wrestler are learning the 7 basic moves and being able to execute a technique system on the mat. You don't need 40 matches a year for that when you're 8. I know a guy that started wrestling for the first time in HS, and then became a state champ and All-American. I also know a 5-time KS kids state champ who didn't even wrestle in HS.
Cokeley for president!
This is where we have to get outside of the box. We could shorten the season and state would consist of only 8U, 10U, and 12U wrapping up before high school state. Then we could have 14U and 16U after HS state to accomodate HS and MS wrestlers. If we did this the tournament could move from district to district. (Pittsburg, Wichita, Topeka, Hays, Manhattan, Salina).

Crash Davis: Well, Nuke's scared because his eyelids are jammed and his old man's here. We need a live ... is it a live rooster? ... We need a live rooster to take the curse off Jose's glove and nobody seems to know what to get Millie or Jimmy for their wedding present ... Is that about right? ... We're dealing with a lot of *&%#.
Larry: Okay, well, uh... candlesticks always make a nice gift, and uh, maybe you could find out where she's registered and maybe a place-setting or maybe a silverware pattern. Okay, let's get two! Go get 'em.
