"When packing your wrestling bag with granola and sweets for a long saturday tournment make sure you leave room for your shoes and headgear"
Or make somebody carry it. It depends on if you've already made room for your candy and fried chicken.
Also make sure your puddin' cups are stowed carefully. It is totally un-cool to have your tapioca explode all over your headgear!
This is a great quote from the _Iliad_, don't be like that man.

When the athletic director and three principals are all familiar with your natural appearance (your naked body) doesn’t make you popular but instead it simply means that you are close on weight on a regular basis.
When you have only wrestled for 1 year and your coach makes you wrestle-off the #1 ranked 171-lb wrestler in the state every week who is 18 yrs old and has wrestled since he was 5, it really doesnt mean your coach hates you, it means that everyone has had a long hard practice and the coaches need to laugh.
By the way the 1-year veteran would be me and the #1 ranked guy would be Justin Stark
(if anyone was wondering)
I remember Stark. That dude was mean looking and a beast. He destroyed Greg Meitl from SMS numerous times.
"If you freak out before the night of weigh ins from severe cutting, then munch on a few ice cubes and watch Conan O'Brien til 5am."
-Ben Suh
If you know you're extremely under weight for weigh-ins (you weigh 90 and wrestle at 103), don't step on the scale carrying a box of donuts and eating a breakfast burrito, you're likely to find your gatorade bottle secretly laced with exlax by the end of the day.

When the athletic director and three principals are all familiar with your natural appearance (your naked body) doesn’t make you popular but instead it simply means that you are close on weight on a regular basis.
...and I thought the administrators had feelings for me the whole time.
Maybe so but just remember its still the team record
You probably shouldn't take 3-4 back massages from one of your coach's daughters who is one of your stat girls especially when you are a senior, she is a sophomore, your coach and her dad are a pastor. Unfortunately, this happened to Nate Boyd at the Newton Tournament of Champions and/or the state meet and fortunately, nothing else happened. I don't know if I can say the young lady's name, but people that were there know what I am talking about.
HAHA, Nate Boyd, I will always see him as
Party-Boy.
One more thing. You also might not want to make yourself a thong out of those plastic leis you get from Paper Warehouse and then go dance in the stat girls' room at 2 A.M.
Another thing that Nate Boyd did.
shamus i thought i was party boy i danced for you and nate and you deprive me of my title! that hurts
You can't forget about the basket Brett. It was an integral part of the thong.
Poor Mr. Jamie, he only wanted to play Vice City by himself.
Good news sports fans I have mono.
And Im growing out my hair!
LancerM well aren't you just cool with your torn ACL, well I stretched mine. Which is not quite as cool as completely tearing but whatever.
But your elbow injury was pretty schweet. It turns out I need Tommy-John surgery on both of my elbows too! Yey for me!
The funny part is I tore my ACL the before the first tournament and went all year on it. The same goes for one of my elbows. The other elbow I hurt at state. **** wrestling...
Dudes, I feel like a loser but who the crap is hungry103? I have a strong feeling that it is young Mr. Carlson but please fill me in.
Oh and while we're on the topic of injuries......
over spring break, I took a gnarly fall in Winter Park CO while I was snowboarding. I totally annihilated my right shoulder. Initially Dr. Mike Mathews, concluded it was a separation AND a dislocation (which was totally bad news) but it still was killing me so I went in to get X-rays. After seeing the X-rays, I could even tell what was wrong, and I havent been to medical school, much less radiology school. There is a half-inch piece of my collarbone floating around in my shoulder. And I will most likely have to have surgery to get it the heck out of there.
I like injury stories so keep them coming
Beat this one guys: One time I had a bloody nose and I had to put some tissue in it to stop the bleeding.
Once I intentionally blew a giant bloody booger out on my arm to get a 7 second rest.
breaking stuff off isnt fun shamus.. i just got surgery bout 3 weeks for when i dislocated my knee and my knee cap broke off so they had to get taht peice out and smooth it so it didnt grind
And they say that wrestling isn't a tough sport... three of the top six in my weight class that I KNOW of have had surgery due to wrestling related injuries.
They are either tough or something else!
Is the cup half empty or half full?
Are bloody boogers low in carbs?
Dude after wrestling is over and were all like 40 years old the chiropractor is going to be our best friend. Because we're all going to have bad backs, bum knees, ackey muscles, and ears that look like moldy cheese.
Its going to be so sweet!!!!
Bloody boogers are indeed low in carbs but the sodium content is out the roof.
Unless your a crack head, then your boogers taste like candy.
Aaron, i think that makes me a crack head indeed.
My boogers don't taste like candy at all more like little debbie snack cakes.
Dingbat- Some of my fondest memories are of you blowing bloody boogers on people. I still laugh when I think of you wiping them on Prant.
One time I convinced the deaf kid on our team that it cost 25 cents to use the phone in the wrestling room and that he could give me $5 to use it all year.
Does this make me a bad person? (I gave the money back)
How does a deaf kid use a phone?
Hey I'm 42 and my best friend isn't a chiropracter. I've hurt myself working on my house as much as from wrestling. The house wins everytime at least in wrestling I win some of the time.
Tip of the Day ! ! Wrestle with an open mind and not an open stance.
i like how brett and mark and bartels still talk on this it cracks me up
yes Pat! I am so gald you are here! by the way, Van Helsing is a real good movie.
