Time to Sign Up For "The FALL" 2017-18!
Next Week - Intrasquad & Eastern Oregon
Also Coming Up
Any Questions?
Coaches' Update - Oct 26
Oregon State Wrestling Fans,
Time to get ready for wrestling! Competition on the mat begins next week with both the Intrasquad meet on Monday, Nov 6 and the home opener vs Eastern Oregon on Thursday, Nov 9. Both occur in Gill Coliseum at 7:00 pm.
Time to Sign Up For "The FALL" 2017-18!
We
are now ready to start taking your applications to become members of
the Official Fan Club for Oregon State Wrestling - "The FALL"!
You
have several ways of doing this - either with your credit card on-line
or the old fashioned way of printing out the form, filling it out and
mailing it in along with your check. You can also bring it along and
hand it to any Board member at "The FALL" table in Gill before the meets
or at the Social in The Club.
On-line method: Simple. Go to the Portal for "The FALL" at https://squareup.com/store/the
Once
there, all you have to do is scroll down the page to find the options
you want - membership, extra donations to help us fund activities, and
merchandise that can be purchased.
We'd
really like to encourage everyone who can use the on-line method to do
so. The system takes care of much of the paperwork for both the
Treasurer and the Membership Coordinators. I have done both and I know
how much time that can take!
Paper Method:
If you can't wrangle a computer, then please go ahead and do it the
regular paper method. Just print out the file, fill it in and mail the
form and your check to our Treasurer, Michael Denison. His mailing
address is on the form. I have attached the file with the letter of
invitation and the membership application form to this email.
Remember, if you lose this email, you can find links to both the on-line store and the application on "The FALL"'s website: http://osuwrestlingfall.blogsp
Deadline - Nov 20
- For all the applications received by the deadline, we will mail the
ID badges to you at some time after that. It helps us get a lot of the
work out of the way. When you come to the Socials, you may pick up your
lanyard and lapel pin. We will still accept applications after the
deadline. They will be processed as received.
Next Week - Intrasquad & Eastern Oregon -
The season begins in earnest next week. Monday of next week, Nov 6, is the date for the Intrasquad. This is the Orange vs Black battle between teammates for the starting line-up at each weight class.
The weights 133, 149 and 157
were all vacated when Seniors (Joey Palmer, Joey Delgado and Abraham
Rodriquez) graduated. Those weights are up for grabs, and all the others
must be defended. Last year Ronnie Bresser red-shirted at 125 while Kegan Calkins filled in, Amar Dhesi, 285, had to heal up from an injury. Cody Crawford stepped up into his spot. Ronnie, Kegan, Amar and Cody are all still here! 165, 174 and 184 were covered by various individuals last season. It could get interesting! Start time in Gill Coliseum is 7:00 pm.
Just three days later, Thursday, Nov 9, the Beavers welcome the Eastern Oregon Mountaineers to Gill Coliseum for the first time. That meet also begins at 7:00 pm.
You can find links to information on Eastern Oregon at their archives page: http://www.eousports.com/archi
There will be a Social after the meet - our home opener. The Social will be held in Reser's Club
- the third level of Reser Stadium. Since this is a Thursday night and
it is early in the season, "The FALL" will provide light tailgate fare.
Entry will be free to all, but donations will be gladly accepted.
If you've never been to a Social before, there are doorprizes, usually something for Silent Auction, a short program and some light snacks.
You can sit and visit with friends, fans, wrestlers and coaches - a
great way to cap off a wrestling meet and get to know new faces!
Also Coming Up
Don't forget, the Mike Clock Open at Pacific University in Forest Grove, takes place on Sunday, Nov 12. Many of the Beavers usually participate to get some early season matches in.
Any Questions?
There
is a lot to cover at this time of the year. If you have any questions,
especially if you are new and especially new Wrestling parents, just hit
the reply button and you'll get me. I can answer a lot of questions,
and if not, I'll try to find an answer for you. I check email in the
evenings and occasionally during the day.
