Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School anonn vrs kreigbaum

I do plenty dickhead. Plus, you weren't a finalist and I was. I'll go down in Kansas history as a state finalist, you will not. That's about all that matters, because you didn't wrestle D1 like you said you could, so you have nothing more than a 3rd place finish to argue with.

Um...my theory is how our society views sports. One of the sociological norms, especially in America, is that winners are highly regarded and loved while anyone that isn't a winner therefore becomes a loser, whether they finished in second, third, or fiftieth place. Though unfair, that is how they are looked at. Take last years NCAA basketball tournament. KU had a great run and finished second, something they hadn't done in a long time. However, they lost in the championship, causing everyone to see them as losers. No one really remembers their great season other than that they lost in the championship. For another example look at the list of state champions in the results section of this very site. It lists only state champions, not second or third place finishers because they are viewed to be less important and therefore not worthy of the time and place it'd take to type them. Sad but true. Therefore in a head to head comparison between you and Jhris, you are seen as the loser, despite any other factors that may come into play. If you’d like for me to elaborate on sociological theories regarding how this works then just ask.

Suck it biotch.

The most important thing we should look at here is the mark we left on the sport. I left with a 32-1 year and a 2nd place finish. You were whatever and whatever with a 3rd place finish. There are groups in wrestling. State champs, state finalists, placers, qualifiers, etc. All-Americans and such are also above state champs. As you will see, state finalists are higher up than state placers. Therefore, me=state finalist, Nigel=state placer. I win.

Jhris=winner, Nigel=not winner.
