I'm here in Ames, Iowa attending a Silver Coaches College along with 6 other coaches from Kansas. For those procrastinators out there, you are really missing out, we are having a great time and learning a lot of great technique!
Tonight I saw Eric Akin in the room ... and YES, he will be vying for a spot on the World Team. Also, Zach Roberson was there and will be competing.
More later!

Congrats on the 666. That is truly an amazing accomplishment. You shouldn't post on this one anymore just so you can show this to everyone. If you want to post on this one you should start a new post. This is awesome.

6 coaches and the 666!?! Head spinning yet? I heard from Steph Akin a while ago and she said that Eric is only a pound over and is feeling the best he has being that close on weight. Hopefully he can get it done...yell loud for our Kansas guys Randy, and while your at it yell for Mo for me!

This evening after weigh-ins I got the privelage of driving Eric Akin as his entourage to the hydration facility.
And in a coup for the Swayz, I got to drive former Colby CC star Daniel Cormier and UCO star Mo Lawal back to the hotel! Daniel thought it was "cool" that I was from Kansas and when I told Mo that Aaron Sweazy said hey ... Mo responded, "the Swayz, he's my boy!" Further Mo verifies that the Swayz use to be his workout partner!! And Swayz, he says to email him!!!

I will try to give him a call later on in the day tommorrow or something. See if you can convince some big guys to do that hwt camp while your there.

Yep, the whole crew. This is actually maybe the fourth of fifth time they've made the trip.

Just back from the tourney ... after a somewhat brief stop for a little refreshment ... and all I can say is WOW, the old man did it! I seem to recall the vision of Rocky, saying "yo Adrian, I can't believe I done it!" But believe it you should!! Akin, essentially walked through the mini-tournament to the finals. There, it will be a rematch of the 2000 Olympic Team Trials, with Akin facing Henson.
On a positive note, Roberson did end up taking third in the tourney.
I can't wait till tomorrow! I am predicting it will go three matches!

Akin wrestled Nick Simmons and won in the finals of the challenge tourney. He looks excellent! Can't wait for tomorrow. Also, tell Mini Me that we saw T.C. at dinner and told him we know little Furches. He looked great as well. We had a nice talk with him. More of you should take the time to come to the trials. It is awesome.

So if Sammie Henson is "the bull"...is Eric Akin "the matador?"
