Not wrecked, nor would I ever. Wrecked is the feeling you feel when the Iowa Hawkeyes... underachieve yet again at Nationals while Cael and team start their championship run in your back yard. Know the difference WildThing.
I'm curious as is the collegiate wrestling community is... as to what he did to get in trouble again to warrant such a response when the season is almost over.

1) Grand View coach Nick Mitchell on Long: “He violated his contract and basically it’s a situation where if it were a normal student..."

Tossed from school as well, 2 months from graduation. Opportunity wasted.

And he may end up going back to jail. One of the terms of the 7 year probation is that he refrain from alcohol. Truly troubled kid.
We need to continue to pray for him. Keep in mind that God will not give up on any of us so long as we reach out to Him.
Perhaps we should pray for Jammenz...
If you don't believe in the power of prayer, that is your deal. But some people on this board do. Instead of taking a swipe at them, post something that isn't offensive. You went too far this time.

Good for you. Thanks for posting your drivel.
geez. Short of locking these individuals away and throwing away the key or taking them out of the gene pool, prayer ranks up there for me.
As big as the world is, in only a few seconds it can get very small.
Some of us learned to pray for both.
and though shall not judge! c'mon, we're pretty hard on these kids without knowing all the facts. A lot of us live in glass houses!
The victim asked the judge in Andrew Long's case to be lenient on him. This was her request to the judge.
Andrew has to step up and just accept he is a alkie and go to AA and work the steps. Also get a good sponsor that will and can be with him at any time nite and day . Yes it can be done with honestly,hard work.There is no cure just have to not take that first drink. Even with my 38 years of soberity I'm no better than Andrew because I'm one drink away from a drunk. Pray for him to help himself.
I have been around addiction as well and there are those that will continue to take the help and tend to continually screw the ones helping them. Many times, they need to hit rock bottom and either die or get to l-i-v-i-n. I don't know if this applies to Long but he has had plenty of chances and folks extending the hand to him and believing in him. There is no doubt that it was because of his skills as a wrestler. Looked like he was going to make it. I think folks are harsh on him, especially in the wrestling world, because he has pissed away that kind of talent when most of us were not close to being that good. One has to wonder if wrestling (and the pressure that can be caused by expectations) could be a trigger.
Most of us would consider prison to be rock bottom. Without minimizing the struggle that is alcoholism: even incarceration + lifetime sex offender registry weren't enough for him to fully commit to the lifelong changes he needs to make.
May he figure it out before he lands back in jail -- or worse.
Jammenz,
About 2 years ago, one of the members of our church was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. The chemotherapy had stopped working and the doctors were out of options. They told him that he did not have much longer to live and to arrange for hospice treatment. At this point his only hope was prayer, and both he and members of the church prayed for him quite often. And guess what? He went into a complete remission, and no trace of cancer was found in his body. The doctors were at a complete loss for a medical explanation of what happened. However, I'm sure that with your superior knowledge, you can easily explain this to all of us.
Seems to me that prayer was not a waste of time after all, unlike spending time rooting for a team that has zero chance at winning a Big Ten or National title.
