 A couple of the High School wrestlers at one of the recent Tournaments.
This was NOT sexual in nature, and see how it could have appeared that way at a quick glance, but come on people!

Holy crap - look at the 5's & 6's scores to boot!

Oh well.

Being a wrestler myself for over 14 years and into college, I have heard all that crap before, innuendos, thats gay, and such. They shut up after you drive their faces into the ground a few times and they can do nothing about it. (C:
Great shot. Stalemate?

Still think the title is fitting. These young men go out and vie for position and ultimately are trying to prove themselves better than the other guy.
Oh well, meant something to me, and that's all that matters. Would have been happy with a Brown here.

Beat me by 6 places, I guess I gotta go for unnuendo to move up?
