You know you a wrestler when wearin' a trash bag is normal to you...

You know you a bad wrestler when your only win is a forfit because the kid didn't show...

Careful what you post Italy's Finest! doing those types of things can land you where you not only can repeat but not compete at all!

You know you're a wrestler when you automatically think that this is the worst idea you've ever heard

p.s. there's nothing sad about this sport

Wrestlers learn the gift of a good meal .

If you have never went with out food you can not have the joy of getting to eat all you want , or understand what is like to not have the choice .

You know your a wrestler when u can easily see your rib cage through your singlet.

You know your a bad wrestler when your wrestling matches only last 5 seconds.

You know your a 'GREAT' Wrestler when your matches only last 5 seconds. (HINT: The keyword is only)

You know your a wrestler when u pick the scale over your girl friend.

U know your a wrestler when u pick the scale over your girl friend

You know your a "GREAT" wrestler when no matter where your at everyone knows your name

when you only go to the bathroom once a week

when u can't eat on turkey day

Peace

when you come to school with a black-eye and no one ask you how you got it.

You have to go to the bathroom before weigh-ins, and guys high-five you because of it.

Your high school's wrestling team is so good, you start a fashion trend of everyone wearing wrestling shoes to school.

You instinctively weigh yourself before and after going to the bathroom, before and after eating a meal, before and after taking a shower, and so on.

Now that one made me laugh. good one Lance

Its called dedication and maybe you dont know what that means so i will tell you. It means giving your all so that you can be everything YOU want. Who cares if they cut??!?! My boyfriend lost almost 30 lbs last year!!!

Hardworkcounts: You don't really think that made sense do ya? Start a new thread and then discuss the issue.

When you brush your teeth 12 times a day just so you can rinse your mouth out with water.

When you know exactly how many calories are in a stick of sugar free gum.

When you know exactly how much weight you can lose just by sleeping.

When the National Champion you recognize is Oklahoma State, not USC.

When running in the halls is encouraged.

When you watch a Jenny Craig commercial and wonder why it takes a month to take off 10lbs. (Heck I can show them how to do that in a day and half and nobody wants to pay me for it)

When Queen is your favorite classic rock group and as I sit here I well up just thinking about it.

You're idea of the UNK UNO rivarly is different than most peoples

People asking you "how's your weight" is not taken offensively

You put off studying by looking up dates of meets you want to attend (by the way what are some good ones around the Omaha area)


Your Friday nights are spent on Huskermat checking out competition for the next days meet
