Hmmm, have to get back on this list. Fresno showing up in droves for their reinstated program.

I think the highest mark I remember and attended was a mid 90's dual v Ok State.

Pretty "boring" schedule this year didn't help. Previous years we had Michigan, Rutgers, Minnesota, Oklahoma coming to Gill. I was personally excited to see Wyoming (because I wanted to watch meredith) and Fresno (just because of Steiner coming home), but otherwise not much to move the needle really.

Next year we should at least get ASU and Stanford up here again. Maybe Ok State will eventually come out this way so Wittlake can wrestle in front of the family, I know basketball teams usually try to pull that off...

Fresno State needs to keep that momentum going. Wrestling is huge in the valley and if they can get the local kids to stay home, which i have a feeling they will be able to, they are going to be good and keep drawing big crowds. PAC 12 should of pounced on them as soon as they reinstated the program instead of letting them go to the big 12. A sleeping giant no more...
