It’s not the end, I’m going to keep the lights on. No worries.

We have had a few talks here about Mike...and a few things were said about how he played at Richlands and all that...no need to bring all that back up again...but I found this pic from his SR year while I was scanning some Grundy stuff...and I think a lot of people get on here and other places and shoot off the mouth about stuff and don't really know or have any real idea about what they are saying. Anyway...I figured I would share this pic, it sort of puts things in to perspective so to speak...about how Mike matched up with the rest of the kids from Richlands and the rest of the SWD back in the day...you can talk about it all day, but sometimes for those that have never seen a pic from that time, it's the best thing you can have to get a better understanding.

never thought I'd say this, but gotta go with Abingdon in this one. 

Grundy is wrestling in a major tourney this weekend at Reno...95 teams from 12 different states at all different levels....so far Grundy is 13th out of 95 and just a point or so out of the top 10...pretty good so far.
 
Someone else might have more info...I just saw the team scores in one of the parents postings on Facebook.

all you need to know is that Gman said months ago it was going to be a bad winter because of Il Nino or whatever lol...if Gman says it, you can take it to the bank.
 
...or maybe that was last year? who knows. Either way it's damn cold.

man this poor guy (well he's a rich guy...but still)...anything he does makes national headlines...he's on CNN every other month for something...they must have a reporter assigned to him or something.

Perkins didn't show up until 1987 or so...he was a year behind me, grew up playing football with him and JK from 4th grade on...his dad was one of our coaches. Rough bunch though from 1980-1986 in Grundy, they didn't have the best record or even a lot of Wins to show for it, but the kids loved to hit...pretty much all of the schools back then were like that. People really don't know unless you played during that time or coached or went to the games just how violent it was...we all beat the living hell out of each other, literally. It was just a different time and a different game.
 
We were not allowed to hang out on the fence and talk to cheerleaders or people in the crowd, couldn't take your helmet off, water was a reward especially during two-a-days when it was 100+ degrees in the cow pasture we practiced in, most of practice was spent hitting each other not running plays, Monday = gut check, not everyone dressed out on Friday night even the good kids had to earn their jersey each week, if you missed a practice for any reason you didn't dress out that week, you didn't talk back to your coaches you just did what you were told and if you did it wrong god have mercy on your soul, weight room was not in any way an optional place to hang out when you felt like it, if you didn't win the long bus ride home was silent and you could hear a pin drop...things were just different than they are now.

well back then winning the district meant something, and everyone with a heartbeat didn't make the playoffs in any sport...the games were better and more fun to watch...the rivalry between any of those schools was strong...it was just a better time, even with the travel.
