Class and a lack of it...

i felt compelled to state my feelings on something i saw at the d-v tournament on saturday after reading packerfan's comments on central cambria. after the consolation finals match between jarod mellott and doug swab, swab and his 'entourage' consisting of some old guy and the 'kentucky waterfall' walked back past the northern bedford fans and doug left out a woohaaaaaaaa as he walked past and, i assume it was his dad, looked up at jarod's dad and yelled THATS TWICE (referring to the second time that doug beat jarod this year).

before this match, nb's dan oberman defeated tussey's neville in overtime to advance to the regional tournament so already things were tense between nb/tussey but you didn't see dan look up to the tussey fans and mock them and brag about winning. he came back to the bench where the nb fan's were congratulating him and he barely cracked a smile. he was happy, but humble about the win. but when doug won, woah look out, he was going to let everyone know it.

i invite anyone from tussey to try and dispute that because that is exactly what happened because nb and tussey were seated right next to each other and i further invite anyone to try and justify what they did. it was classless, shameless, and lacking anything remotely related to, oh what's that called, CLASS. even if it was the "heat of the moment," you'll never, ever, see a wrestler from another school act the way he did. personally, i was embarrassed to even be sitting near that section and would have been even more embarrassed to have been a tussey fan at that moment.

something that many people didn't see was when the mellott's left, steve, his dad, walked over to swab's dad and shook his hand and left. i'd like to see somebody do that after what happened. it takes alot of nerve and guts to do that and steve showed what kind of class comes out of nb.

so, please, any tussey fan that can justify what swab and the kentucky waterfall did, i'd gladly shake your hand...

i agree that there is no reason for anyone to act like that, but dont forget that after brock strayer won he did the same thing...i know it was just retalliation, but that doesn't make it right

Hey, I am from Bedford, good job. We shot by TM with the team point deduction. Thanks.

That's a shame. I'm from Tussey and that embarrasses me. There's no need to act like that, especially after a season like Swab had. It was nothing spectacular at all. I thought that he had more class than that. I'm very disappointed to hear that he acted like that. I do have one complaint though...

so, please, any tussey fan that can justify what swab and the kentucky waterfall did, i'd gladly shake your hand...

even if it was the "heat of the moment," you'll never, ever, see a wrestler from another school act the way he did.

You're basically trying to get a fight started. Not every Tussey person is like that. It really irritates me to see stuff like that because like I said, not every Tussey person is that ignorant, arrogant, and rude. It just really irks me to be stereotyped according to a couple of people. It's very small-minded to think like that..

Nutcake he was just trying to say that he invites ANYONE from Tussey to support what Swab did.

The guy with the backwards hat ran onto the mat and grabbed him jumping up and down. It was the Consy Finals, and I was like what the heck is going on here.

I just can't believe what I saw that night.

And oh by the way...What did Brock Strayer do? Did he just give a little fist in the air because he won and moved on? I saw nothing more than that so you would have to elaborate. He was the 6 seed and in his first year of wrestling. He didn't do ANYTHING out of line.

I agree with nutcake, not every Tussey person is like that. I know many people from down that way and they show the class, sportsmanship, and respect that anyone from anywhere would show. But name one wrestler at the tournament on Friday/Saturday that acted like Swab did after they won a match...?

And if it 'irks' you that Tussey people get stereotyped, why wouldn't one of the many other Tussey fans told Swab to knock it off and just sit down?? Or maybe told his FATHER to do the same?? I have nothing against Tussey, but when you see actions like that, it makes it very, very hard for any respect to be given...

Hopefully Swab will be put into his place this upcoming weekend.

It all stems from the coaching staff. Same thing as when the Everett locker room was tore up. Lack of discipline.
