Bobby Douglas National Quotations

We're sending a very strong lineup. These five people carried our team all year and now they have a chance to earn national titles. They all have experience and know what to do to achieve success.

I think Oklahoma State has a great team, and they've had a great run. (The Big 12 championships) have always been a tough tournament, and a lot of the national champions come out of this tournament. I don't think this year will be any different.

We're outmatched in most weight classes. We've got to fight for every point. Our main mission is to score points and see what we're going to have to do to get to the national tournament. In order to get there, we've got to go through either Oklahoma or Oklahoma State.

It's been a tremendous rivalry. The matches have been tactical matches which is more like a chess match. If they end up in the finals of the Big 12, I think it's going to be a great match. If they end up in the finals of the national tournament I think it's going to be another great match.

How well we wrestle (today) will determine how well we wrestle at the national tournament. We want to get to the nationals any way we can.
