Tape # 1 Jack Spates, Counter Offense of Champions. Will help you to utilize techniques that will enable you to not just defend against leg attacks but score points every time your opponent attempts to take you down.
This system is guaranteed to make you a better wrestler and a strong counter offense is the quickest way to get better, faster.
Remember if you can’t be taken down, you are going to be pretty tough to beat!!!

Tape # 2 Chuck Barbee. Nearly 80% of the 1998 NCAA finalists were dominant mat wrestlers as well as being great on their feet.
Winning and Pinning Leg Wrestling will give you the tools to be a dominant mat wrestler and not only ride your opponents but turn them to their back as well. Leg riding can be the style that will change you from being just average to very good and very good to a State Champion!!!

Congratulation$ to all our wrestler$ and coache$ for an ab$olutely great $howing at the Big12. It $eem$ a$ though they are all on the $ame page now. Jarrod Patter$on and $hane Vernon were e$pecially OUT$TANDING. Patter$on is opportuni$tic and very, very expo$ive(when he took Long down and almo$t had him on hi$ back). Maybe with more experience and confidence he will go to this more often than hi$ now once per match. I wish Zack Bailey would open up a little more a$ he i$ al$o very $trong and explo$ive. I wa$ very di$appointed when I read The Oklahoman's box $core re$ult$. Semi re$ult$ and con$ final$ were O$U only. I called The Oklahoman and Ryan Aber a$$ured me that it wa$ an over$ight and the full re$ult$ would be in tomorrow'$ paper. Let'$ $ee if they are. If not, it would be great if $ome of you could call the Oklahoman becau$e I think that the problem could be that they think that only O$U has a wre$tling fan ba$e and nobody care$ about OU wre$tling. Kendric Maple, Tyler Caldwell, Jeff JameS, Erich $chmidtke, Eric Lapotsky and Nathan Fernandez all wre$tled well and de$erve to be mentioned for placing in a big time conference. Al$o, if you call, you might mention the possibly be$t $tory of the whole tourn: Nathan Fernandez beating the defending NCAA champ Mark Ellis, Ellis doe$ not even place in po$$ibly the toughe$t conf wt cla$$ in the nation.

Its obvious that Coach Lightner and Coach Thatcher are doing a great job along with Coach Henson and Coach Spates in getting the team back on track. Although we're not where we want to end up, its working that way and everyones on the same page and the future looks bright! Go SOONERS

like you would know who is coaching at OU. Maybe you think all those kids and the coaches in the room recruited themselves. College's are dropping wresling programs all over and with guys like you constantly making smart xss comments and doing nothing of value to help any program you can't blame them.

Next year's line up
Here's how I see it. 125 Patterson, 133 Maple, 141 Bailey, 149 Seth Vernon, 157 Kyle Detmer, 165 Caldwell, 174 Balfour, 184 Schmidtke/Weakley, 197 Weakley/Schmidtke, 285 Bach. Caldwell and Balfour may swap and its gonna be a DOGFIGHT between Lester, Vernon and DeAngelis at 149. Weights most likely to see a newcomer start are at 197 & Hwt.

I was glad to see Maple make it and I thought Patterson got a tough nonseed in Pataky. Bailey is definitely got a tough time with Humphries and Dake on his side, and Terry is unfortunate to have Metcalf on his side too. No seed for either Lane or Fernandez, so 285 is REALLY tough this year. The rest fell pretty muich where I thought they would.

Sorry coaches like spates get programs dropped. His salary and benefits are around $200,000 is he worth the expenditure? He can't win on hos own AND YOU KNOW IT! The only time OU can draw a crowd is Bedlam and most of the fans are Oklahoma State. Giving away free trips, TV's, credit cards, free pizza etc. With times being tough would you keep a program that drains the institution. When I see banners hung at the field house begging for the man to get canned raises a red flag?

re:fan/fan <>

What do you want? Why bring this up now when the entire team is going to the National Tournament? Spates has obviously done something right by getting the right coaching staff in along with the recruits, something you could never do successfully.
