OK STATE VS. WYOMING

I thought it was a very good crowd and the excitement was high. I think the excitement would have been higher if Plott,Surber, Young, Jamison had wrestled better matches. Jamison in particular looked like he was wrestling in slow motion. Spratley did not panic when he was taken down and slowly but surely stalked Volk and looked great in the 2nd half of the match and overtime. Hamiti continues to amaze me. He is so smooth and confident in his movement. Hendrickson is an outstanding athlete. I was just disappointed in the four wrestlers I mentioned earlier and Surber seemed to echo my
disappointment when he walked off the mat. They had off days but are better than they showed. The crowds will continue to increase but we will have to have more matches like we had at 125 to help build the attendance.

United States Postal Service

Has to be one of the worst run departments. Our office sent two separate envelopes in mid October to our corporate office. There was $200,000 in checks between the two. One made it a week ago and the other is still floating around. My wife and I also sent a $3000 check to our daughter and son-in-law in Lakewood Village Texas, three weeks ago. It still hasn’t shown up. Just venting. Another crappy run part of government.
But…but if the government wasn’t in charge of sending all our mail, how would mail get sent? A society of free people could never figure out how to do it on their own.

Guys sitting around me last night:
Dallas (me)
Wisconsin
Houston
Denver
Stillwater

But I’m not ribbing anyone. Your comment just made me want to share how cool it was that people did come from afar. I’ve had season tix for a few years and didn’t make it up once last year (did go to big12s).
All of those places are WAY cheaper to fly from too. I haven’t been back for any OSU sports but I’d bet a wrestling match will be my first.

Yep… It wasn’t a run of the mill opening dual. It was a recruiting weekend like we haven’t seen in years (arguably three #1 p4p recruits in attendance) and it was supposed to be a tone setter for the DT era. He was sold a bill of goods about who we are and what we value. We didn’t deliver. The ticket office was giving away 2 for 1 just trying to get people there and still only 50%. The importance was conveyed and people made excuses.
Most OSU fans aren’t wrestling sickos like we are. Most of them probably had no idea about the recruiting weekend.

OSU Attendance Records

Friday's attendance was announced at 6,781, the program's biggest for a home opener since December 7, 2003.

Round #1 Winner is… Oberebo - 169
Runner up: colcord - 219
Honorable mention: OSUBigBadBob - 419

Well maybe the *real* Oberebo uses tricks, you know? Maybe He's not omnipotent. He's just been around so long He knows everything.
Curious what was the attendance of the first dual of the John Smith era?
