Open Practice & Tailgate This Saturday!

Open Practice Sept 25, Austin Morehead & Amar Dhesi

  This coming Saturday, October 24, will be the second and final Open Practice for the Oregon State Wrestling team before their season begins. Kick-off for the football game for The Beavers vs Colorado will be 7:30 pm, so Practice should begin about 4:00. (In the email sent out, time was listed as 4:30, but the correct time is 4:00.) Practice will last 1.5 hours and will be followed immediately by the Parent/Fan Tailgate party which will be set up outside the entrance to the Wrestling Practice facility.

The Dale Thomas Wrestling Room is upstairs in the Sports Performance Center, the outside door faces the west side of Gill Coliseum and is just north of Reser Stadium. If you are planning to attend the football game, you'll have plenty of time to tailgate, then walk across the street to the stadium.

Here are suggestions for contributing to the Tailgate:

For those that want to contribute food for this event, please follow these guidelines.  If your last name begins with A-M, bring salads/fruit/veggies and N-Z, bring desserts/other side dish. Also, please bring your own beverages and everything else will be provided.

There is usually some bottled water available.

The beginning of the dual meet season will be following rapidly. Just about 2 weeks from today, Wednesday Nov 4, will be the Intra-Squad meet in Gill Coliseum, as team mates battle for the starting spots in the line-up. Even though this is a week night, the Intra-Squad will be followed by a quick Social, held in the Loge in Reser Stadium. This will be free to all.

November 8, a Sunday, Pacific University in Forest Grove hosts the Mike Clock Open. Most of the Beavers will be entered in this tournament.

The next Sunday, November 15, is full of action for the Beavs. The starting team will back in Albany, New York for the North East Duals. The other wrestlers have an opportunity for another Open tournament that day, the Roadrunner Open in Fresno, California.

Saturday, November 21, will be the home opener for the Beavs, as they host both Utah Valley and Rutgers, who will also wrestle each other here as well. This great day of action will be free to all fans. Until the football game is scheduled, we won't know the starting time. Wrestling has to be at a different time slot than the football game. You might want to keep that parking map handy for that day, there will be a lot of people in town!

Dust off your OSU Wrestling yard signs and get ready for the season to begin!

Go Beavs!
