Open Practices - This Saturday and Next Saturday!

Wrestling Practice - Dale Thomas Wrestling Room

 Just a quick update to let you know there will be another Open Practice this coming Saturday, Oct 8, in the Dale Thomas Wrestling Room on the Oregon State campus. Start time will be 3:00. Practice lasts about an hour and a half. Kick-off for the football game is 6:00.

Wrestling Season does not start until Oct 10 by NCAA regulations. This practice again will be just for the wrestlers to tune themselves up. The coaches will step in to run things on Monday, October 10. It is still a good opportunity to check out the new faces on the team, watch some scrambles and visit with other fans and the coaching staff.

So far the team roster on-line as not been updated, so we'll hope the guys write their names on the back of their shirts so we can tell who they are!

Saturday, October 15 will be the last Open Practice before the Intrasquad. Oct 15 will also be the date of the Wrestling Parent/Fan Tailgater. The tailgate party takes place after the end of practice. The set-up is outside the Wrestling entrance to the Practice Facility. Time is TBA, since it depends on the start time of the football game. More information on how to participate will be out later.

Oct 29 will be Homecoming for Oregon State. The Wrestling Team will be honored for their 2016 Pac-12 title (their fifth in a row!!) at half-time of the football game.

Next up for Wrestling will be the Intrasquad, Thursday Nov 3 at 7 pm in Gill Coliseum. Be there to see who will man the first string this year.

Opening home action will be Nov 20, Sunday when OSU hosts the second Annual Joe Wells Classic with Michigan at 12 noon. Anyone looking forward to a rematch between heavyweights Amar Dhesi and Adam Coon will have to wait until next year. Mr Coon is taking a redshirt season after a pre-season injury, at least that's what I heard through the grapevine.

Go Beavs!
