about 10 years ago would have been nice.

But here we go. He's doing it now. Let's get on board.

How about some specifics? Are he and the coaching staff going to travel? Or are we expected to come to Madison? Will there be online information and videos, like flowrestling, or is it only available if you show up?

What other WI coaches are going to be involved in this?

Nice job Barry.

Should be fun to watch this unfold and rally the state together.

Sounds like a step in the right direction. Looking forward to seeing how it all unfolds.

Barry clearly feels strongly about the issue. Wisconsin has many tiny little cities spread all over the state so we all know that his execution of the task is not nearly as easy as it sounds. I would say people like Askren and Black have already put this plan in motion though as they are already doing their part.

Yes Billy; those guys have put "a" plan in motion by doing "their part." What remains to be seen is how those plans and actions contribute to the overall plan for advancing the sport statewide. I certainly hope they have a place at the table, when it comes to formulating, coordinating, and enacting statewide strategies.

What are you trying to say here? Are you knocking Ben and Kevin?

What? No way! They are doing great things for Wisconsin Wrestling! My point is that Barry's plan for Wisconsin will probably have a different overall structure (We don't have the details, yet.) but I am hoping that these two guys' ideas will be part of the overall plan.
