Way to go Jacks! Glad to see Andy Everson back in the lineup. And how about Travis Gottschalk. Here's a young man who came as a walkon and had worked exceptionally hard to make the team. He got pushed out of the lineup by a better freshman, but as a senior and a leader he has hung around and has been wrestling up two weights because we don't have a 197 pounder (Travis is a 174 wrestler). At Portland State, he lost 6-5 in three overtimes to a their 197 pounder. What a warrior Travis is!

Are there any other wrestling fans on the board??? If so, let's get more active. Congrats to thebluehatman for reporting the win!

I'm not a huge wrestling fan, but I did attend the UVSC match, and it was really fun. There were about 600 people there, and they were louder than any 600 people I've seen at a basketball game recently. We have a bunch of talented young wrestlers and Sorenson and Stripling are worth the price of admission all by themselves. Stripling is a beast and Sorenson is a risk-taker who has the skills to make up for his mistakes. Really fun. I encourage people who haven't been out to see wrestling in a while to come out. There are home duals on Feb 2 (Eastern Ill.) and 3 (Northern Colorado) and Feb. 17 (Northern Iowa) and 18 (NDSU). Very entertaining.

It's a shame NDSU is here on the 18th of Feb. Blue won't be there because it is the day of the Daytona 500...Let's reschedule it

Re: Wrestlers spank Portland State

Yeah, come on, your the big blue hatman for crying out loud. You dare to talk about students playing X-box games and yet you'd miss Jackrabbit athletic competition due to some hillbilly's driving in circles.

I'm very dissapointed.
