The Starting Five

I just copied and pasted the below post from the High School-Statewide Wrestling Forum at pennlive.com. I doubt this guy is a friend of Rick Hare’s.

27310. Hershey Arena/Referees

The thing I like most about the Arena at Hershey is that it is too large for the ref’s to figure out who exactly is yelling at them from the stands. It is easy to blend in among the crowd more so than it is in a small gym. I have been kicked out countless times from gyms, the first time was at Manheim in 1957, but I have never been kicked out of the Arena, the Giant Center, Rec Hall, or the Farm Show Arena. This is the time of year when we the fans can let loose a little and not worry as much about these demi-god referees catching us. I am looking forward to hammering a few guys this year- especially that primadona Mike Junkin – I think i will be joined by many others, especially LD fans in hammering him. There are ways to yell at refs in the arena that are better than others. It seems to work best if you do it during the action- not when there is a stop in the match- that way they are less likely to be looking around the stands- except for the worthless mat judges. It is also good to sit in the upper level because the refs have a hard time figuring out where the yelling is coming from up there. The best part about the arena is the walkway around the bottom level. That allows you to yell insults on the move- the old moving target trick- although at my age I don’t do much walking around the arena anymore. So I hope everyone enjoys and makes the most of this opportunity- we have a whole years worth of pent up frustration to let out, and some of these clowns have earned it. Keep it clean, and don’t lose your voices before the quarterfinals.
