I am here with the team at the hotel for the Jr. Duals in OKC. Everything is going fine so far and most of the guys are relaxing and awaiting weigh in tomorrow. I just returned from Wal-Mart with some of them where they purchased some groceries to save on money, smart boys if you ask me.

I am hoping Randy is going to show up, Randy, please, could use you and would be good to spend some time with you.

Now to the disdain of some. I am planning on videoing some of the matches and will make them available for private view only for family and so forth that can’t be here if they request it. I won’t make any of them public until after Fargo,and then if a wrestler or family member don't want it up, it won't go up. If you have a wrestler here and would like to see one or more of their matches let me know via pm’s that type of thing. I can likely have it on line, with private code access that night. Again, will be private access only to family, or related to wrestler via private code which I will let you know if contacting me and wanting it.

Looking forward to this week and hopefully those that couldn’t make it to the Cadet’s can show up for the Jr’s. Then I know some will want to see both.

Go Kansas!

Mike, My current plans are to accompany Sean McCarthy down but it won't be until Saturday!

See you both then, but of course if you want to come down early I'm sure Sean would understand.

lol ... (deep sigh) ... but unfortunately I have some duties (the golf course needs mowing) to attend to!

Mike - If you can get any of Atticus' matches on films I would love to see them.

Barry, I'll do my best to get them for you. Let me know and I will send you the passcode and url once I get them. The boy has been busy having a good time, it is kind of scary.

Tanner and I will be there for the start of FS on Friday morning. Can't wait!

Order of duals for our KS GR team starting at 1PM today:

Rd 1 - Indiana - WON 46-23
Rd 2 - Louisiana
Rd 3 - New York
Rd 4 - North Dakota
Rd 5 - Minnesota 2

Just in, Kansas won't start until 1:00 PM, will be busy from there on. There is no wireless connection either so anyone wanting any info can contact me via cell phone. I am ready to go with the video options. Last note, the venue is not very good for fans, just beware before getting there.

The venue this year isn't intended for fans...it's intended to recruit for OCU.

Wow. Donny teched the guy and then got pinned. Wonder how that happened.

We are now down by 6 with two weights to go against North Dakota.

Timely pin by Edison. 32-31 North Dakota with Disney batting clean up.

Atticus pulls it out. Kansas 34 North Dakota 32.

Are we going to fill those holes in the lineup for freestyle?

Right now it looks good, all kinds of rumors, but possible 112 pounder or two coming down, plus a 189. There is also some talk about a few other options on the team to fill spots. Won't talk about those right now though. There are some other options that I won't go into, just a couple of days.

I will say this, this is the big stage, our state gets to make a national impression and we need to find a way to get more of them excited about representing their state. I'll assure you, that when in a room that has fans from all across the country and many of those states are better represented in the number of wrestlers wrestling, and fans in the seats, it is kind of embarrasing. Our kids have done great giving up 15 points every dual. The parents and fans that are here have been great but we could use more. I know the weekend is soon upoon us and hopefully we can get more down here to see some of the best high school wrestlers in the country, many of whom will be wrestling college next year.

On the results at 160# Joey's last name
is Hambleton not Hamilton, Thanks.
