Mike Furches and I have discussed it and thought that what would be better to kick off the new school year than to head on down to Stillwater, Oklahoma to the National Wrestling Hall of Fame with anybody that wants to join the convoy from Kansas.

We thought that August 13th would be a great day to do it. It will be a Saturday and should be clear on several calendars. We would leave Wichita area by 8 am I believe giving us plenty of time to see the Hall of Fame. Due to the fact the Hall of Fame has various hours we would like to get a head count for the trip if anybody would like to head down that way we can get a group rate and even a surprise or two for the day.

I know several people in the Wichita area would be more than willing to house some of us Northerners up for the night of the 12th if you want to head out early from Wichita with the convoy. Just reply on here if you are interested or in a private message with # of people in your party that you'll be coming with. We hope to have a few vans so people don't have to worry about gas and toll fees as much.

This could be a great way for Kansas to wind down and celebrate so many great accomplishments from this summer of wrestling.

Hope to see you all in Stillwater!

Swayz I may go.... is there any chance of being back by the 14th so I can leave for college?

I'm in! I'll say up there after practice with Curtis after I get surgery.

No Alex, you can not go to college. Ever!

Question for somebody out there. I am a high school wrestling coach outside of KC and am trying to get a club started in conjunction and as a supplement to our school wrestling progam. A question was posed to me by some parents concerned about the safety of their children.

Does USA wrestling require background checks of their volunteer coaches as well as other people that come into contact with kids as a result of their participation in the sanctioned program????
If they don't it might be something that the organization might want to consider.

Again, I am just in the beginning stages of getting a new program going. Right now it is in just the exploratory stage. As several parents have requested that I do some legwork.

Back on topic...

Alex I have to be back 14th anyway so yea.

What is your cost estimate. Remember, I'm am what is now to be considered a broke *** college student. Once again, remember this. But I'm more than willing to pay what needs to be paid. Hope we can round up some crew. You won't be anything near bored around me. Promise. Is TCarmona in on the action?

I believe that I too fall into the "broke *** college student" category as well. I am thinking about going depending on if I get my new car or not before I leave for college as mine now might not make it to Wichita running... so I'm hoping I get my new one. I am sure a Gossett, Ryan, Chenoweth, & Swayz crew could make a very interesting trip, add in Mike Furches and the stories will begin to unfold. Add in TCarmona who also will be a "broke ** college student" now too so hey it could be a fun trip.

Alex

I'll see what I can do... never been to the museum itself but i've been by there on my way to an OSU vs. Iowa Dual (Before Mocco was a traitor)

Well I think I am also in both categories, those interested in going and being a broke *** college student. I might be able to house a few people as well.

That was a great dual...I was 2 rows up. That was Muhammed (MO) Lawal's 1st and only year at OSU.

As for broke *** people, remember I have student loands and medical bills still.

Swayz-

I think you win as far as the debt goes.... but yea it was a great dual. We ate at Eskimo Joes before hand then enjoyed the dual and the ride back to Russell. The best part was when Mohammed jumped from the outter ring to the center line and was ready to go, he has ups!... too bad I missed you there, I was in the upper level from the ground on the north side.

Alex

Well well well........Everyone loves me! Depending on the events if I coudl go the 13th. I am moving the 12th to Manhappy. Depends on when you guys would want to leave on the 13th. Swayz if I met you in Chapman then we could ride to the next stop together. Let me know the good word.

No, we all just need someone to pick on.

Well if that is the case I was told with your skinny buhler wrestling self would be it.

I had to wrestle Mo and actually talked with him via Chenoweth's cell phone when Curtis called me from Fargo...he's funny. I may have a surprise set for those going at the Hall itself. May have a speaker to talk to us in the video auditorium of the HOF. Still in the works though.

So what do you say sways ride to Wachita together?

If I'm going I'm heading down the night before other wise we have to leave at like 6am...I think we are gunning for an 8:00 am departure.

Who's house are we gonna meet at?

Probably easiest to meet at Mike's I would say although you can get to the turnpike cheaper from your house. Maybe we'll get it figured out.

Dun dun dun....The man-crush strikes yet again with a feeble attempt to flirt with our very own Bronco Wrestler.

Where have you been billy Mc Jennings?
