We have this new Risman Plaza and I just thought it was a
great location to put a mat on. There’s
a “K” there with a square around it that looks like a mat. And it’s a nice flat surface.
In that location there’s thousands of students that walk by
each day. It’s going to be open to
everybody and fans can literally come right up to mat and watch our guys wrestle
live and drill. It’ll be a different
experience and I’m excited about it.
It’ll be exciting to see how our wrestlers react. I don’t
think they know exactly what to expect.
This is a good opportunity to promote our team. We’re excited about everything we’ve got
coming up this season so we want to get it out in public more. A lot of people don’t know what goes on in a
wrestling room. Our guys never get to do
this stuff. It’s an opportunity for them
to display their skills and athletic ability.
These are tough, strong athletes.
Some people think wrestlers just throw each other around, but there’s a
lot more to it.
We’re also going to have a new Kent State Wrestling Fan Club
sign up Monday. We’ll pick out two names
at the end of the day to win prizes. We
want to continue to build a good email base to shoot updates to.
Our first official practice is Thursday (Oct. 10). We tried
to schedule this for then, but there’s a conflict with a pie throwing contest
out there.
Students will hopefully get to see another side of these
guys too and I think it will open some people’s eyes a little bit. It won’t be exactly like a typical practice,
but we’ll do our best to make it like one.
