Now I'm jealous, not of his All-American status but rather the XBOX 360, a college kid's dream come true....

Hey, I can't help it if my sources aren't always 100% reliable. Happens to the best undercover agents in the U.S. :-)

Big Steve is for real. If he continues to work as he has, the sky is the limit. Big Steve, Coach Knox will always be in your corner. By the way, if you ever want to come to the City-League and beat up on some the wrestlers here in Wichita, you've got place to stay.

I think I've skimmed through enough of this 6 page discussion to point out something being overlooked.

I want to take nothing away from Goddard, Derby and Maize because they also have exceptional programs and talented coaches. But, I have to say that the Manhattan program is in good hands with Coach Gonazales.

Coach Gonzales is going to be a major factor in helping those Manhattan kids peak at State. He'll turn good kids into state placers and state placers into champs. I think he will instill fairness, discipline and a stong work ethic. He's old school. Exactly what Manhattan kids need.

For the AD and the Manhattan administration to hire Gonzales says a lot about its interest in wrestling. That is rare. Administration support and commitment is what drives winning programs.

Gut... thanks for saying the obvious. I believe this is what the young men on the team are trying to point out. There is allot of tradition and this bunch of guys will not be the ones to let that die under their watch. Gonz will keep up his part or he wouldn't have applied for the job. He knows what’s in the cupboard.

See why you should study in school! I suppose you fell asleep during that lesson.

Red,

Does Meven inherit his spelling from the other side of the genetic tree?

Meven,

http://webster.com is your friend:

Pronunciation: 'spelt'
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English, from Late Latin spelta, of Germanic origin; perhaps akin to Middle High German spelte split piece of wood, Old High German spaltan to split

: a wheat (Triticum aestivum spelta) with lax spikes and spikelets containing two light red kernels

Meven,

I just had to ask Jacob and his ma how to spell cupboard. Only one got it right. Guess who.

That's right, me.

And to tell you the truth dad, if it wasn't for the posts above you probably would have gotten it wrong as well. You are probably too old to remember such lessons anyhow.

Hey, I got 3rd (or maybe it was 4th - too old to remember) at the Osborne County spelling bee as a 6th grader.

I wouldn't have mispelled "cupboard" then and wouldn't now either.

Now go help your ma get ready for the tournament tomorrow.......

I doubt you could spell it dad, no matter what place you finished in a spelling bee in a county of population... I don't know... 20. And I'm sure Meven can back me up on this one: Sometimes men of their age (our fathers) tend to be well... forgetful at times.

You are fortunate that your pa proofread your post prior to posting. Saved you from being embarrassed at mispelling the word "forgetful".

Now for the county of Osborne...

It currently has a population of approximately 4100 (2004 estimate).

Oh, and Osborne County had one of the toughest county spelling bee's in the state that year. The defending state champ attended (and won it again).


And since another son has entered the conversation, he needs to go and help his ma too. Or else.

How can one of the smallest counties have such a hard spelling bee dad?...Spelling isn't really that hard.

Stop posting so much, Wagner family. You're creeping the rest of us out. And by creeping the rest of us out, I mean that you shouldn't watch kids shower Mr. Wagner, it's inappropriate. Stop gossiping about my 15 year old sister too, please. That is also something that makes it very creepy around here.
