Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion Freestyle/Greco USA! USA! USA! USA!

I am so pumped for the Olymipics. I think we have our best freestyle team in a while.

Haze---Gold
Scott---Gold
Frayer---Gold
Burroughs---Gold
Herbert---Gold
Varner---Gold
Dlagnev---Gold

Doug Eck---Participation Ribbon and a gift certificate for a free hair cut.

I know that it is a stretch and we have one realistic gold medal opportunity, but I think we come out with 3-4 medals from the freestyle team.

Coach Craig

For your information, there is not a single person on your list that has defeated me.............

Can't believe my undefeated record against all of those guys didn't get me a wildcard berth.........

And just so I don't burst those guys' bubbles with an a$$ whipping, I'll let them reap the glory, and take that participation ribbon, or "declined to participate in order to allow others to be in the spotlight" ribbon, as it should be called.

... but you are taking the free haircut??

Are they televising any of the matches or do we just have to read the results in the paper? I know that they'll be on in the middle of the night, but Coach Craig has offered to stay up and keep me company on Skype while we cheer on the US team if we can find somewhere to watch.

Sure hope you're right Coach Craig, or even just close.
Sports Illustrated has us pegged for one medal total.

I think that we have a couple of guys that can pull out a medal in freestyle.

Haze--he needs a couple of upsets to bronze...don't think that will happen.

Scott--He is on fire right now...I think he has a realistic chance to medal.

Frayer---He needs a couple of guys to get hurt orrrrrr pull off a couple of big throuws. He is a pinner and could get on a roll, but I don't see it at this level.

Burroughs---the best.

Herbert---dont see it

Varner---he has a shot.

Dlagnav---I am stepping out here....Gold. I don't know why except for a gut feeling. Take that for what it is worth.

I agree with your post, I am kind of like you with your gut feeling on Dlagnav. I have the same gut feeling with Varner, I think he is going to pull some upsets and be in the hunt.

Someone giving me a free haircut is like giving Coach Craig some brain surgery...........there just ain't much there, so they ain't giving much of a service........

MSNBC will be showing matches. Here is the scchedule I found on themat.com. On my DVR the times are just a large block from 8-5pm titled "summer olympics 2012." The info for the programs shows others sports but also mentions wrestling. Here's the schedule:

Mango and Provisor both win their 1st match.

Mango lost second match.

Provisor coming up.

Provisor lost his second match

Bayramov (AZE) won his semi-final Mango is back in Repache

So does Mango have to beat Russia, then Denmark, then Korea to win bronze?

You've probably already seen that Mango lost to Russia. Let's hope for better results tomorrow!

Ellis Coleman - lost
Chas Betts - won
Dremiel Byers - Bye
