I would've been happy with 8k. Most disappointed in empty 200 level seats. Season ticket holders not showing and then not making sure someone is in there seats. It's pretty easy to buy the whole season just so you can go to the big matches. It hurts the product. Fill you seats even if you have to give them away to friends, family or kids wrestling clubs.If we step back from expecting a sellout this was a very very good crowd for the opening dual against a weak opponent.
Almost 7,000 people which is the biggest opening crowd in 21 years. It looked and sounded like a big time wrestling environment. I’m sure DT, the staff and recruits felt the same.
We can nitpick on why there weren’t a few thousand more but this was a very good start for a new staff and hopefully a new direction for our program.
If I remember correctly after DT was hired OSU had record interactions for all media platforms across all sports so I would say the excitement is real, but I could be misremembering things. @west2east could correct me if I'm wrongAnd who is getting the other top recruits and transfers? Those 2 teams you referenced. I can see why Poke is disappointed and I am sure he is not the only one disappointed. And for the sake of OK State wrestling coaches and wrestlers, I hope that you are right that the people/fans are excited about the team. I would say most are.
I like your thinking. For real they were really nice. Fed Bo’s brother a few times..he must not be cutting weight lolMaybe she wishes it was closer because she is going to miss her son when he is wrestling for OK State and won't be able to see him as much! haha
Almost like not being able to fire employees leads to poor performing employees.Thank God the poor quality of government employees can only be found at the postal service and every other government department is staffed with extreme competence. Can you imagine the corruption if every governmental agency was filled with postal service quality employees?
