OK STATE VS. WYOMING

On Tulsa Time

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?

Iowa and Penn st are the only other 2 teams who put that many butts in the seats consistently. The sky isn't falling in Stillwater this morning. You had the biggest opening crowd in 20 years . To me that says people are excited

And 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.

Maybe… It’s growing like crazy all over the country for being such a “dying sport” though and we fill it for bedlam and Iowa later in the season. Schools with 1/100th history and resources are growing their base and fan involvement.

It’s just pretty unbelievable to me that we tie ourselves to the whipping post for soulless sports (at this point) like NCAA football and basketball but we can’t find enough time and resources to support THE ONE truly elite program at OSU.

Iowa averages somewhere around 14k per and that’s just due to them embracing THEIR tradition imo. It’s all about being trendy at OSU. Some of that OU little brother stuff people talk about IMO. We try really hard to be who we’re not.

Anyway… if wrestling does fail at OSU it will be because of us, not a lack of commitment from the admin and boosters. It’ll be because the people with the lightest load were too busy making excuses.

Denver mayor threatens to deploy cops, 50K residents in ‘Tiananmen Square moment’ to stop Trump’s mass deportations

“I think we are gonna continue to be a welcoming, open, big-hearted city that’s gonna stand by our values,” said Denver Mayor Mike Johnston — whose city has been plagued by violen…

Add Denver's mayor to the list of Democrats that think they are above the law. If this mayor obstructs law enforcement's enforcement of our immigration laws I hope he is arrested, prosecuted and punished with a nice stint in prison. Your disagreement with a law does not mean you can ignore and obstruct the enforcement of the law.

I guess you missed the promo that you buy a ticket for last nights dual and you get a ticket for Sunday as well.
Click to expand...
I saw that but that does no good if you can’t attend both.Just run the same promos as you do for other sports that are trying to build crowds.

Only way I see that we avg 8-12k fans is have PSU, IOWA, OU, tOSU, AND CORNELL on the schedule yearly 😂

This is turning into a strawman. My point isn’t that DT won’t eventually find big success and drag peoples asses to GIA.

The point is WE the fans missed and opportunity and we have to do better.

Some will say wow what a crowd we had the most we have had for an opener in 20 years. And some will say it should've been packed. You can always hope for better but the reality is you broke a 20 year record
