Wrestling Season is almost here! Only 2 more weeks until the next Open Practice which will be followed up by the Parent-Fan Tailgate Party. The Intrasquad is less than a month away, followed in 4 days by the Mike Clock Open Tournament. A week after that the Beavers open their dual season at the Northeast Duals, and there you are - in wrestling season!!
A few details to help you get ready - first, it's time to join the FALL Fan Club or renew your membership if you have been a member before. You can find the application here oin the right side of the page under "Links". It is a "fillable" pdf file. All you have to do is download and save it to your computer, open it, fill in the blanks, save it, print it and send it and your check in the mail
to FALL Club Treasurer, Brandon Perkins. Brandon's mailing address is
on the form. Membership dues continue to remain the same, $35 single,
$50 Couple, $75 family and $10 for an OSU student.
To pay for your membership with a credit card,
mark the appropriate box on the form, fill in the rest of the
information and mail it in to Brandon. We will run your credit card when
you are at the Dual or Social. Why mail it in? Because then we
will have all of your membership information and can have your packet of
materials waiting for you when you pay. No standing around waiting
while we scramble to put it together for you!
Next - to those who received this as an email, I attached the most recent version of the Schedule. However, be advised that it is still subject to change.
Due to having to work around football and television schedules, some
dates are still TBD or could change, but you will be notified.
The Open Practice on Oct 24
will be held 3 hours before kick-off at the football game, which won't
be announced until about a week before the date. Open Practice will last
1.5 hours. The Tailgate Party will be held at the entrance to
the Wrestling Practice facility immediately following Practice. The
Coaches sent this message about the tailgater and the football game:
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. If you would like to get tickets to the Oregon State vs. Colorado Football Game, a promo code has been set up to purchase tickets at a group discount, tickets will be $53 with the promo code. You can access this promotion by visiting www.beavertickets.com, clicking Promo Codes and entering the code OSUWR. We have a block of 75 tickets set aside. Deadline to get football tickets is October 19
On to the first home action, the Tri-Duals with Utah Valley and Rutgers on Saturday November 21. There
will be three duals that day, first between Utah Valley and Rutgers,
then the Beavers will take on Utah Valley for the second dual. OSU and
Rutgers will be the third dual. All of this will be free!! That's
a lot of wrestling at no charge! Bring your friends! Get your friends
who are there for football to check out wrestling while they are walking
by! Most of the parking lots around campus will be pay lots
filled with football tailgaters that day, due to the football game, so
parking could be tricky. The closer to Gill, the greater the charge,
close is $40/car. More information about parking can be found on this Oregon State page. Time is still to be determined until the football game
time is arranged.
The last bit of news: Congratulations to Bob Buzzard,
FALL Club member; Bob has been named to the Iowa High School Athletic
Association Wrestling Hall of Fame! Bob will be inducted Feb. 20, 2016.
