Overton Wrestlers

[iforgot]

dont be jealous . the robes are tight and here to stay

[MatWizard87]

i didnt think the robes were that bad i just dont think it goes well with the sport something a little less flashy would have been better. overton is doing good this year except for the robes.

Man, what's wrong with you guys??? Those robes are sweet. Watch a couple of teams copy that idea in the near future.

they kinda look like monks.....

[tnmat]

hahaha... monks. you rock somethingclever!

 

The robes are a way to get guys on the mats at Overton. For the first time in a while, they've had trouble getting people out for the team, so it has taken extra efforts to get certain guys to join the team. My opinion is that the robes are good for Overton's wrestlers and good for their team. I don't think the idea is to be flashy or gaudy, but to excite some of the kids. They like it... and if they like it, then I like it for them.

 

P.S. - Someone posted that the 103, 112,119, 130, and 135 could all place. I agree, but I wouldn't take out the 125. Josh Jennings is a hard worker and took it hard to Dillon, who is a very high-caliber wrestler.

[iforgot]

youre right tnmat josh does have a good shot at placing in state this year

[champ66]

I agree, lose the Robes.

I don't know.....ever here of Dan Gable? Seems some mighty good Iowa State teams wore robes. Remember the UTC teams from the 70's that we so fondly remember? Robes!

 

Best of all, in a world full of followers, it's refreshing to see a unique idea. Wear 'em proud guys.

There once was a fable about an emperor who was tricked by his tailor in to parading through the streets in the nude. The tailor said that only the "cool" could see the clothes and when asked if he saw how they looked the emperor said that the clothes looked cool. He then proceeded to parade through the streets and was the recipient of many compliments until finally a small child called out loudly that the emperor has on no clothes , whereupon the emperor became embarrassed and fled. Maybe the coach at Overton is the new version of the emperors tailor and only the "uncool" can't see the coolness of the robes. If they like them I suppose it is ok, but if that is the trick that it takes to get good wrestlers out then this trick will be short lived.

I think that mostly any overton wrestlers have a good chance at placing. Drinkwine at 135 or 140. Brewster i think is as good as his bro if not better. I was at an overton practice at fra and i lost 6 lbs and coach gabe is a great coach. David Scott is very under rated. He is good. I have wrestled drinkwine and i know the whole family and i no im in 8th grade but he is amazing he wrestld our 145 and took him to the mat it looked easy. The robes at so pimp tigh i say give me one. That shows how good their program is they can get those.
