Inside The Circle is back! (Pre-season edition)

• cruiser_96

  

  This episode is CRAZY long. Bear with us. After this episode, I'm pretty sure the goal will be 8 minutes. It might stretch to 10 minutes, but I doubt we ever again reach this 32 minute threshold.

  Our goal is to do this every Sunday - again, in a much shorter window - until the culminating Darby District Whiteboard Predictions. I have set up an email address for us. I'm going to try to contact as many tournament directors as possible in order to get on the list for completed results of tournaments. Then, on Sunday afternoon, we will compile these results, and tape another episode. We also hope to visit big dual meets and/or tournaments in order tape matches, and perhaps interviews, all in order to promote wrestling, and more to the point, Central District wrestling!
  
  DIII - roughly 3 minute mark to the 10 minute mark
  DII - 10 minute to the 18 minute mark
  DI - 18-30 minute mark.
  
  All in all, it's always a blast! Enjoy.

  Beautiful stuff guys!
  not sure if I'm ready to knock Marysville off their perch just yet until someone ACTUALLY DOES.
  a bit surprised that my Panthers aren't in there but you did give them some "others" love!

  Great stuff thanks for taking the time to put it together.

  Cthelites: Concerning your two points... It's kind of funny in that I am not as high on Darby and Shawn keeps telling me, "You're crazy! They are going to be better than you think." But when it comes to Marysville (my #1), he's like "You're crazy! They are going to finish lower than you think." A bit of a trade off, I guess.
  
  Shawn and I's top ten are not the same. Which is why I think this is so much fun! Part of some of the differences is the fact that it's pre-season. As mentioned, by the time December 21st rolls around, we will have changed our lists a few times!
  
  Here are a few of the upcoming dates we (ITC) are trying to attend...
  Nov. 26th: CD All-Star Meet @ Gahanna
  Nov. 30th: The Bad Apple Draw (Mount Vernon)
  Dec. 3rd: REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY trying to make it up to Olentangy Orange. "Pin Cancer" Night with UA and OO. But I'm also REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY not trying to sleep on the couch.
  Dec. 12th: Dual - Delaware Hayes @ Hilliard Darby (6pm)
  Dec. 14th: Ranger Classic @ Hamilton Township
• It is what it is

  Fantastic stuff! Look forward to every Sunday!! : thumbup:
  
  The Circleville tournament this Saturday should be pretty good.
• Coach Ramirez

  You guys look official with the matching shirts, lol

  Ummmm... We look officials because we ARE official!!! Remember that. The shirts just add to the authenticity of our official-ness.
  
  And they were nice gifts from our sponsors.
• rassler

  Very entertaining.

  Good stuff you two!!! Hopefully we can get a chance to catch up sometime! Starting to get the "ITCH" lol

  Sir Ambassador Cruiser...hey it's all good. We usually aren't at the top of preseason polls since our school split so no biggie. Just gotta grind it out to prove you belong. We got some tough early December matches with Dware, Westervile North and possibly seeing Mville (your top 3) at their tourney at our first action right out of the gate. Baptism by fire early. Not sure if all of our footballers will be in peak wrestling shape yet but I know Coach Moods will have them as ready as possible. I count a possible 10 gridiron boys INSIDE THE CIRCLE for Darby this yr. question...why do we have to face WN(Bradley will also challenge) for the possible Cardinal championship match right out the gate? Had to do this last yr also making the playoffs again losing time on the mat.
  Also on our schedule this yr is a tri with Wadsworth AND Lexington replacing our dual with Davidson who dropped us from the schedule(tough to lose that gate and passion for the community!)
  
  As far as apologizing for the time...puhleeeeze! The more the better! Don't shorten it, go deep brah!
  Great to get the convo started cant wait to see some ole familiar faces tomorrow at Gahanna!
  Good luck to ALL CENT OH BOYS THIS YR!!! Stay healthy!
• Cthelites

  Hey could you postem up on here so we don't have to push play again. Thnx
  The White Board to the Chatter Board.
• cruiser_96

  

  Cthelites: Inside The Circle is going to try to be at the DH @ HD match. I've sent an email to STO to inquire about video rights. If they deny the taping of the match, then we'll have to move on. But if not, we should be there. Coach Moody and the Panthers do the dual meets right.
  
  As for your schedule...I thought the same thing! YIKES!!! And if the number of footballers is anywhere near the number you list, December could make it tough to gauge just how good the Panthers are. Wrestling shape is very unique and it usually takes about 4 to 6 weeks to get to a level that at least let's you compete.
  
  As far as posting so you don't have to push play... I wish I could! I have no clue how to do most of the stuff on GOhio. I just know how to upload. There are a WHOLE LOTTA buttons I don't mess with when uploading. Afraid I might mess something up! Or do you mean embedding them in a post? Trust me!!!!!! If I knew how to do that, I would. Maybe someone else who knows how could. I'm just not that swift. Heck, my VCR is STILL blinking 12:00.
  
  See everyone tonight!

  Great Stuff Cruiser!
  As for Licking Valley - Wogan (not Woogan - LOL!) graduated as did McCown. Jose Parsons graduated 2 years ago.
  
  But we have Johnson (SQ) and Owens (SQ) coming back - as well as Redman and VanMeter - all 4 will be wrestling tonight. Also - Martinez the Freshman is a stud. There are a few other names I think will come out and be noticed at sectionals and districts as well - Fout and Robinson are two of them.
• cruiser_96

  

  Wogan/Woogan: That was a bit of my silliness coming out. I'm pretty sure you posted on here about eight times about it being Wogan and not Woogan. But thanks for the other info. Great stuff.

• cruiser_96

  

  I think I will start tomorrow - if I can get the time - with listing the bare bones of what we discuss on the show.
  
  Good work, lites. Good work indeed.
