"Wrestling," not "rasslin"
Partly from OSU Athletics:
Oklahoma State’s No. 1 wrestling team will play host Big 10 Iowa at 1:30 p.m. today at Gallagher-Iba Arena. Someting like 10,000 spectators are expected to spectate.
Iowa boasts six wrestlers ranked in the top 10, and the Hawkeyes are ranked No. 9 in the latest USA Today/NWCA coaches’ poll. Iowa brings a 5-1 record to town with the only loss coming to in-state rival Iowa State.
This will be the final tune-up for the Cowboys before they travel to Cleveland, Ohio, for the National Duals Jan. 22-23.
Dr. ER and I -- and Bird, who has the privilege of livin' right across the street from Gallagher-Iba, and it's newly christened Eddie Sutton Court -- will be there. She Who is My Wife and I are fans of all things O-State, and we are fans of Bird. Looks to be a fine day ahead.
By the way, this here is "wrestling." Skandar Akbar? Andre the Giant? What you and yer best buddy do when there's one beer left in the ice chest? That's "rasslin."
GO POKES!

Update:
STILLWATER, Okla. — Oklahoma State wrestlers fed off the energy of the 7,821 fans inside Gallagher-Iba Arena, and used it to propel them to a 26-12 victory over rival Iowa on Sunday afternoon.
And a fine time was had by the ER family!

Glad y'all had a good time, and even more glad the Cowboys whooped them Hawks. I'm sure you were pinned by the action and taken down by the energy and never saw a reversal of fortunes. Even with nearly 8,000 in the arena, I'm sure it was a near fall of action and a single leg of knee-slappin enjoyment. And I'm glad there wasn't a Grandby roll out of contention for the Pokes or a takedown of possibility for you and the ER clan.
What a shoot!
What a shoot!
Welp, lemme tell ya. The action caught us all in a three-quarter Nelson and didn't let go till the heavies got done. Our little Bird looked at the heavyeight Mocco, even with him way down there and us way up there, like he was a human version of the Boggy Creek Monster; he IS a big ol' boy. Made Dan Blocker look average. Bird actually looked a little ascairt at the idea that a bunch of meat, juice, bones and DNA could come out in a foamin-at-the-mouth giant like him. She won't get any argument outf of me next time she goes on about wantin' to larn judo. No, we all did dig it. And to think before we started readin' the stories and checkin' into it, none of knew a crotch face from a cross lift -- wait, I think I got that backards.
Yeah, I believe a crotch face comes from another, more steamy Web site and not this here blog.
But I might be wrong.
