Being the week of nationals I figured there would be more chatter about nationals.
This will be the biggest event the southeast sees in a while. What's up!!

I think it is kind of a disturbing trend. I hope there is a great turnout this weekend. There has been at every Unifieds I have attended. My concern is that there seems to be waning interest in the sport as of late (if this board is any indication).

I think the thought of going to Kazakhstan has something to do with it. Plus the economy, etc.

It seems the more elite and experienced are retiring from the sport and there aren't many new guys coming up to replace them.
Our "team" has been on life support for years. Now it's pretty much a few friends with common ground.

10 % average unemployment, . rising cost , Too many different options for younger kids to choose for a sport , People retiring not enough replacements , Here in the North east Arm wrestling was huge in the late 70' through 1990 and not so bad early 2000's But has fallen based on Numbers at tournaments and of course ....... Mobile Alabama ;D
