The Missouri Meet and Other Stuff

OS Wrestling Fans,
Oregon State had a bit of a rough start in the match-up with Missouri, but at least we fans had a lot to cheer about in the last two matches.

Taylor Meeks - 197, and Clayton Jack - Hwt, both recorded pins for the team. They had the fans back on their feet for the end of the meet and brought the score up to a respectable 21-18. Great job, guys!
Keep those pins coming! We love them! Congratulations to all the Beaver winners, Mangrum, Sakaguchi, Meeks and Jack. Missouri is no push-over.
For the complete wrap-up of the meet, read the article on OS's site:
http://www.osubeavers.com/sports/m-wrestl/recaps/112611aaa.html

Fans who made their way over to the Valley Football Center afterwards for the Social received the added benefit of "take-out". We had expected a few more people to come, so there was lots of extra food. The serving staff brought out boxes for people to take food home. See what you missed?!

The remaining Socials will be held back in Reser, at the Club, with the exception of the one after the Northern Colorado meet on January 20. Then we will meet at Papa's Pizza in south Corvallis. More about that when we get closer to the date.

After their stop here, Missouri traveled on to Stanford, where they had a meet today. The result - Missouri 26, Stanford 9. For all the details on that meet, this is the Stanford article:
http://www.gostanford.com/sports/m-wrestl/recaps/112711aaa.html

The Beavers next competition is this coming Friday & Saturday, Dec 2 & 3, down in Las Vegas,  Nevada, at the Cliff Keen Tournament. For more information on this Tournament, check here:
http://www.cklvwrestle.com/

I understand there is a chance that there may be a change to the line-up, as there is a challenge. We'll have to wait and see....

Go Beavs! Bring home some Las Vegas glitter!

Printing Tickets at Home

OS Wrestling Fans,
 

Here is a way to avoid standing in the line to buy tickets: from the OSU Marketing staff:
"To help fans with the ticket problem we are trying to encourage people to purchase tickets on-line and print them from home. If you go to the wrestling facebook page we have posted a link next to a picture of Benny. Feel free to share this with everyone!! Hopefully it helps with the line problem."

The OS Wrestling Facebook page is here:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Oregon-State-Wrestling/148908324486
You have to scroll down the page a bit to find Benny.

Or you can find the page about printing tickets here:
http://www.osubeavers.com/tickets/digital-ticketing.html


Give this a try, get your ticket before you leave home! The Beavers will have their hands full, having  the Mizzou Tiger by the tail, so be sure to be inside cheering loudly by the time action starts. You don't want to be outside wondering what all the noise is about on the inside!

Go Beavs!

Legacy Meet - Correction

OS Wrestling Fans,

Correction to my last email, tickets for the Legacy Meet  (vs Missouri) are regular price, not $10 each as I stated. If you have season tickets, they are already in your pack, you don't have to do anything extra.

I have heard from fans that the ticket booth was slow in printing out tickets, so it really helps to have your tickets in hand before you get here!

If you are not able to attend, you can follow the action on-line. This from the OS web site:
Media> Live stats will be provided through trackwrestling.com and a link to each meet is available on osubeavers.com. Also, follow wrestling on Twitter.com/OSU_Wrestling for updates as each meet progresses.
Members of The FALL Fan Club, the Board needs your help! Increased interest in the Club, due to the performance of the team, has brought more congestion waiting to get in to the Socials, etc. Anyone interested in helping out, please let us know.

If you are any early arriver, we could use help manning the table in the lobby in Gill, answering questions, taking membership applications, etc. It would be best if you could be there by 6:15.

At the Socials, we could use help immediately following the meets. Several greeters at the door could direct people where they need to go, e.g. if they want to join, where to find the membership applications, non-members to the place they pay admission, members, where to show their ID badge and pick up their door prize tickets, etc. People to help sell door prize tickets or t-shirts or answer questions would also be helpful!

Any tour directors out there? We can use your expertise in organizing our bus trip.

The Board greatly appreciates all help! Thank you!

Last, the Club has had a website, but it has been sort of left behind for the last few years. We are trying to get it going again. Now we have it in a blog format, so it is easier for all of the Board to contribute. You can get to it by: http://www.oregonstatewrestling.com/
which takes to you to old page with a link to the new page, or you can simply bookmark this page: http://www.osuwrestlingfall.blogspot.com/

We hope to be continually developing our site. For now, my emails will be posted there in the blog, so if you are looking for something that was in one of them and can't find it among your other 6,250 other emails, all you have to do it go there. Hope that helps!

Happy Thanksgiving!! See you Friday, 7pm, in Gill!

Go Beavs!!

Weekend Recap (11/18-11/20)

OS Wrestling Fans,

What a weekend it was for OS Wrestling! The varsity squad had two dominating victories, one over Simon Fraser, the other over cross border rival, Boise! The Border Axe was carried victoriously across the mat by team captain, Clayton Jack. Definitely worth the price of admission! (By the way, check that axe out if you get a chance. It's actually made of solid wood.)

For recaps of both meets, see the OS web site:
http://www.osubeavers.com/sports/m-wrestl/recaps/111811aaa.html

For those who like photos, the on-line version has a photo of Clayton Jack in his match. The newspaper also had photos of Pat Rollins celebrating his victory and Mike Mangrum wrestling.

The GT also carried a story on the Simon Fraser meet:

Thanks to all that turned out this past weekend for our home opening weekend of OSU wrestling.  It was a good weekend overall, with wins over Simon Fraser and Boise State.  The Boise State meet ended with a 32-10 win for the good guys, OSU.  Getting big wins for the Beavs against the Broncos were freshman Pat Rollins (125), James Roberts (133) and Taylor Meeks (197), all recording pins.  Scott Sakaguchi and Michael Mangrum recorded major decisions and Clayton Jack controlled his match in a rematch from last years’ Pac- 10 finals. Ty Vinson found a way to pull out a close match at 174 lbs. 

It is a short week as we prepare for a very good Missouri team on Friday night at 7 PM.  Missouri is a team that will bring in several nationally ranked wrestlers and it should be a good meet. Anyone wanting to get some of Thanksgiving dinner out of you, come down to Gill and scream and holler for The Beavs. It is also The Legacy Meet, with all ticket sales going toward the Wrestling Endowment Fund here at OSU. We would like to see a crowd about 2x the size of this on Friday night. Bring a few friends along, we will hook them into regulars.

Special congrats to OSU great Greg Strobel on the announcement that he will be inducted this spring into The National Wrestling Hall of Fame! The Scappoose, Oregon native had a stellar career here at OSU, winning a pair of NCAA Championships, before going onto a great post collegiate career in coaching with Lehigh University and USA Wrestling among other honors.

Another Oregonian, Fred Fozzard- the 1969 World Freestyle Champion will also be inducted.  What a great year for the state of Oregon and another example of the rich wrestling tradition and history in our great state.

This past weekend, we also had several wrestlers compete in the Spokane Open. Champions included Garrett Drucker at 133, Alex Elder at 157, and freshman Seth Thomas at 165 (who pinned his way through the tournament). That is now two tournament championships for Seth on consecutive weekends.  Anthony Harris (141) finished 2nd, and freshman Drew VanAnrooy made his college debut with a 3rd place finish at 141 bs. Brian Engdahl (184) finished 4th, and Nick Schlagger (149) was 5th.

The Cliff Keen Invitational in Las Vegas the following week.  The tournament will include many of the nation’s top teams and individuals, so we can get some great competition and see where we stack up at this point of the season.

This Saturday, November 26th- OSU and the OWA will host the second annual MAKE A DIFFERENCE TOURNAMENT for kids wrestlers of all ages, here on campus in the Truax Center.  Last year, there were about 900 wrestlers and it promises to be a great pre-season competition once again. It is only $15 to compete, go to www.wrestlingnorthwest.com and look under “events” page. Weigh-ins are both Friday night from 5-6 and Saturday morning.  All wrestlers that weigh-in on Friday evening will receive a ticket to that evening’s match vs. Missouri at 7 PM!

Don’t forget to sign up for the Fall Club, the official Fan club for OSU wrestling.  Benefits include complimentary admission to all post-meet socials and other opportunities.  As mentioned at last weekends’ social, we will have a fan bus traveling to Boise for the Pac 12 Championships.  It will be a lot of fun for those involved.


If you are interested in NCAA tickets this year, make sure to consider going through our ticket office and sitting in the OSU section! Call 1-800- GoBeavs before they are sold out. We would love to have you in our section.  knows that it helps!  Please make an effort to get to Gill this weekend, The Beavs will wrestle aggressively and want your support!.  We promise, our guys will come out and fight hard, and create action.  You will be entertained.

Legacy Meet - Missouri

OS Wrestling Fans,

The Legacy Meet (formerly known as "The Endowment Meet") is coming up this Friday, the day after Thanksgiving! So get your shopping done, your turkey digested, forget what's on television, it can't be as good as wrestling, and come on over to Gill Coliseum and help build the OS Wrestling Endowment. All gate receipts go to the Wrestling Endowment Fund.

Here are a few things to know about this Friday:

Wrestling starts at 7 pm. Doors open at 6 pm. Consider coming a little early. Ticket lines could be long. Those people who arrived 10 minutes before starting time on Sunday missed Taylor Meeks' exciting pin. They were still standing in line. If you have season tickets, and you have them with you, you can enter at the corner doors at the back, you don't have to go through the long front lines.

Tickets for this meet are $10 each. Helps the Endowment Fund.

Any autograph hounds in your group? The wrestling team will have an autograph signing session after the Missouri meet. I believe it will be held in Gill. Bring your pens and whatever you want signed!

Due to the team being delayed to sign autographs, the Social will be delayed accordingly. So relax and take your time coming over for the Social, when the team is finished, you'll know it is time. The meatballs can wait.

This Social will be held in Valley Football Center, third floor, instead of Reser-Club. The Club is in use for something else, so don't wander in to the wrong party! Valley Football Center is in the building that forms the north end zone of Reser Stadium. Doors are on the north side. Stairs are to the left, elevator to the right.

For a peek at Missouri, check their web site:
http://www.mutigers.com/sports/m-wrestl/spec-rel/112111aaa.html

Friday, Nov. 25, 7pm, Legacy Meet, OSU vs Mizzou, Be there, be loud and proud!!

Go Beavs!!
