Since my suggestion was overlooked, I'll just simply answer the question with 2 words: NOBODY. MANY.

Nobody and Many, because all the winners from all of the Strongman Competitions weren't at the same event for a head to head battle, so all we're going to accomplish here is theory, conjecture and fairy tails...oops, fairy tales.

Take all the weiners...winners...give them the same tweak tools, the same bases and the same board and then we'll see who's who and what's what.

Now I've got a question. WHO CARES?

Everyone that wants THEE STRONGEST BASES IN THE WORLD and doesn't put in the time and do it for themselves is chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Coach X tweaks stronger bases than Coach Y who bought bases from Coach Z, but neither none have ever beaten Coach A, ever! Not even a scrimmage. How much of a factor is strength now?

For those who never saw the first 10 renditions of the Miggle Message Board, there was a recurring thread that we had to keep reiterating: You have to coach your team to victory! Buying the strongest bases will not result ininstant success.

Here's a real world correlation. When Barry Switzer took over the COWBOYS after Jimmy and Jerry broke up, who got the credit for that Championship? Barry or Jimmy? I'm not a fan of Dallas but I know that Jimmy should have gotten a ring for putting that team together.

That's not going to happen in MF. Speaking from experience, I've played an unstoppable team built and coached by someone else in a previous season, but under the new coach I beat him 28-0. Was it the team or the Coach ?

I've built teams for others that have beaten people I couldn't beat head to head, only to get beaten by me. Was it the team or the Coach?

You have to build your own rooty poot team and play and rebuild and play and improve and adjust and play and fail and lose and play and win and get better and take steps forward and slide backwards and get up and learn new techniques, etc, etc.

YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR LUMPS!
YOU CANT BUY A TEAM FROM X AND EXPECT TO BEAT Y AND Z, WHEN X CAN'T.
YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE GAME.
YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE.
YOU HAVE TO COACH.
IF IT AIN'T WORKING, YOU HAVE TO TRY SOMETHING ELSE.

NOBODY AND MANY ARE STRONG. WHO CARES?

I like it Jimbo!!!

I would say I am the strongest, but I am just the winningest

How do we measure your record vs. mine vs. Vince Peatros' vs. OldSchool's vs. LaVelle Shelton vs. Jimmy Davis vs. Mike Turner vs. Edgar Downs vs. Micheal Robertson vs. Simmie vs. Reginald vs. Matt Culp vs. Ravenna Al vs. Frank Johnson vs. Frank Jacobs vs. Norbert vs. RD vs. MichiganJoe vs. the next guy and so on and so on?

We need ONE single solitary event that EVERYONE attends to determine THEE BEST COACH of any particular year or style. And the best way I've seen is the way we sid it at MFCA Con I.

So, since that is the one time it was done right, by my standard at least, Adrian is #1 and I'll share #2 with Joe Greco since he had to leave early and beat me in our game. But, who am I?

If we can ever get EVERYONE under one roof playing one way, or trim the Tournies down to 3 or 4 "Majors" ala PGA or PBA, then we'd see who's bad!?!

Cause no way in heck is Jimbo #2!

All jokes aside, come to Columbus in mid January and we can all settle this. No excuses please.

Will the Mid-Ohio guys make sure we have fields to have the tourney. No diss to the Rose Bowl, but they are too small for the

GREEN ROOM RUMBLE!


I'm booked and will be in on Thursday!!!!!!!!!!

...but I got the Golden Whistle to prove it!

As far as determining The Best, do you really think Miggle is the truest test? It might be a cog in the equation of Miggle+BuzzFest+Seawall BRAWL+MFCA Con+TSO/CBSMF = Championship Season.

(Here comes another FRIGGIN' DISCLAIMER: NO disrespect intended toward any other Tourney I didn't mention.)

Hmmmm...??? Gotchya thinking yet?

Miggle is the start. What is the goldent whistle? that's a new one to me.

16 months and I will be trying to win them all, practicing while the kids are at school. Oh yeah! Until then I'll just bring it and take my hat off to the person with. . .

THE GOLDEN WHISTLE!

Seriously though, what does it represent?

no disinn' here.....

we have had thsi discussion before in the past.....

the hard part is to do just that - GETTING EVERYONE UNDER ONE ROOF TO PLAY........

as for you being #2, that was now 2 summers ago and If I am correct, based on the MFCA guidelines (I dislike the term 'rules') that K-lo won the Coaches Challenge more for just playing than enything else
but that is not the same thing we are talking about.

that is one of the reasons to build a "universal set of guidelines that would include most of the rules being used today, plus some things that make it more of a challenge.

k-lo

You weren't there 2 years ago and I wasn't there this past year, and I got you at The SWB 3 years ago. How does that math add up? Doesn't matter until EVERYONE commits to the same 3 or 4 Tournaments. Too many events waters down the formula, empties the wallet and ********es the Mrs. and kids off!

So, yes we've been down this road 100 times b4, because 100 different newbs asked it 100 different times, and each time we gotta see 100 different pictures of The HULK tearing some sh** up!?!?!

So, when, where and how we gon' settle it?

Let's set the 2010 "Championship Circuit" now:

Miggle - January
BuzzFest - March
Seawall BRAWL - June
BamaBlast - June
MFCA Coaches Challenge - August
TSO - formerly Labor Day ~ September 1st
BeltsvilleBash - formerly Columbus Day weekend

That's 6 events. Use Tom Ruesink's or AJ's Ranking System and see who The Man is next November.

Who's in?
