It just looked like he just tweaked it. He was limping a bit walking off but then he was drilling on the mat during break before 165. I don't think he'd do that if serious injury.
OK STATE VS. WYOMING
- Thread starter oberebo
- Start date
Great match by Spratley getting a takedown near the end of the 3rd period and riding out for overtime. Then gets a go around for a great win. Clutch takedowns at the end of the 3rd period for each of his wins. Witcraft had a solid win. Jamison asleep at the beginning of the match and looked poor the whole 1st period. But gets a takedown late in the 3rd and then in overtime for the win. Ho showed no signs in over time of being wore down by his cut. Young was really disappointing in being asleep in the first period. He did not finish takedowns and gave up takedowns off his shots or off his opponent's shots. Sheets battled but lost in overtime off a weak shot. Too many wrestlers did not seem ready to wrestle in the 1st period. Our strength is in the upper weights. I liked Spratley and Witcraft not so much anyone else. I can't complain about Cutter Sheets he was small.
Dean Hamiti where have you been all my life
Currently the best wrestler. Hamiti right now beats the version of KO that wrestled last night.
Fastest pin I've ever seen called but I'll take it
Alright so what is up with Plott? He’s looked lethargic in all of his matches this season, regardless of results. Seems like something is up. Am I crazy?
I wouldn’t say lethargic but wrestling like he’s trying to figure something out he doesn’t trust.
Plott looked solid last weekend. He's fine.
Knowing DT, Plott is either
1. Experimenting with new things rather than doing what he knows what he's good at
2. Trained extra hard this week in preparation for CKLV

Announced crowd not even half full ... dissapointing. Utah V was close to this.
HWT - Hendrickson with a 2nd period FALL and a back flip to boot.
32-6 oSu Final

Well mixed results on the back half. Amine didn't do much until the 3rd period where he had 2 takedowns and a stalling point and got a major. Hamiti was outstanding with domination and then got a quick pin putting his opponent on his back for 1 second. Plott wrestled unbelievably sloppy shooting and losing a leg, foot or ankle over and over again. Poor match by Plott but wins.. Surber wrestled out of control and sloppy also. But he did win. Hendrickson was great with lots of takedowns and got the pin with a Johny Thompson move. Easy win but not impressive.
Guy looked way bigger and longer that Carter. That length gave him trouble in finishing shots
Think J Carl said something over 6k.
Made me laugh. Thanks for this, SlickWillie.
Pisses me off that the ticket office will do $2 tickets and concessions to women’s bb but not to men’s bb or wrestling.We can’t raise money like most schools and pay as much in NIL but we darn sure could try to get butts in the seats.Announced crowd not even half full ... dissapointing. Utah V was close to this.
Not to mention this is DT’s first home dual and a HUGE recruiting weekend. HS football playoffs are tonight and small schools have started basketball so OSU needs to do all it can to get people in GIA.
Squad looked good and we were the better conditioned side which won us the close matches. Crowd was awesome, but I expected more attendance. I'm hoping Sunday will be larger. Gilmans intensity in the corner is fantastic. He was screaming at the ref to hurry up and begin Spratley's OT and they did not make that mistake again. Mark Branch is doing a fine job at WY those men showed up ready to scrap.
It’s gonna take some time. And it’s gonna take some bigger opponents. It was loud when it needed to be and in person it didn’t feel half empty. I want it packed too but just like every sport, winning comes first.Announced crowd not even half full ... dissapointing. Utah V was close to this.
Fall break, deer season, hs playoffs, little league wrestling…lots to compete with this weekend.
My tickets were used, but I didn’t go because my private jet pilot is deer hunting and my little boy has his 1st Wrestling tournament today (Saturday.)
Another factor is we (Union) are hosting our open tournament today. So I’m sure there were some that couldn’t make it because of weigh ins this morning and wrestling today.
Our fan base makes too many excuses. It’s a black eye for us. Simple as that. We talk a big game. We needed everyone to show up last night and about half did.
I drove my crew from Altus and we didn’t get home until 1am and all 3 of my kids are wrestling at 8:30 this morning.

It’s wrestling that is why it wasn’t full. If DT truly bringing the excitement back it should be packed. No excuses. A lot on this board love it but a lot of folks don’t. No different than tennis, golf, track, and etc. You can’t even get updates on ESPN app. I hate it for these sports in the future. I don’t see how they survive.
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.
Biggest home opening crowd in over 20 years and you want to shit on people because it didn’t meet your expectation….yeah, that’s the way to get people on your side.
I didn’t take it that way. Why not have it full? Will there be more at the FB game today?
