A Friday We'd Like to Forget
Oregon State University - January 31, 1997

[Delayed News Release] | Saturday ASU 20, University of Oregon 18

CORVALLIS, Ore. - Not only was Oscar on crutches, but Jason Buce also didn't wrestle, nor did Mat and Jason G., . . . in a PAC-10 match-up with Arizona State that we expected to be close.

To make matters worse, KGW-TV reported that Portland State wrestling is being cut out of the PSU budget. Is there anything we can do? They suggested showing up Wednesday night when PSU goes against Pacific (7 p.m. at PSU).

Sorry we're missing the news from Kip Carlson. An OSU database crash has scrambled our transmission. Watch for the release with quotes about the match. And, you can see the event on cable (FSN] at noon on Sunday.

Everyone lost except Isaac Wood, and Arleigh Hix was pinned to close the evening. Clint Wilson put the fear into Casey Strand, who is ranked sixth nationally. Casey left the mat shaking his head. Look out next time.

We skipped the pizza party that follows, since there were five high school teams attending, and this is wrestling alumni weekend.

The new alumni center, a stone's throw from Gill, is really taking shape, by the way.
