166-198??? Your killing me Chris?

[Trapper Saltzman]

Travis Pull for the Hungry is a month befor This tournament!!! so what do ya say big man!!?!! you in!!!! / and I don't know how Andrew feels or you feel about this but I wouldn't mind if we made it a 3way or something somehow for Right haded!!!

[Josh Handeland]

Andrew doesn't have a board account, but if you wanted to make it a 3-way, I guarantee he would be in for that... or if you wanted to make it a 4-way with yourself, Andrew, Travis, and either Perry from Canada, or Myron Schmidt, I guarantee Andrew would be up for that, right handed.

Edit: I asked Andrew... he said hell yeah that would be sweet!

[Trapper Saltzman]

Im all over it! Totally agree/ now just gotta wait for Travis....

[Trapper Saltzman]

IM GONNA KILL EVERYONE.......................................BRING YOUR A GAME NOT THAT ITS GONNA MATTER COUSE IM GONNA TEAR YOU A NEW ONE.

With all this enthusiasm, it makes me want to drive all the way out from North Dakota!! Hmmmmmmmm, i'll think about it. But have North Dakota guys done well there before??? Where will all the best comp be for me who weighs 198? Would it be in the 220's or in the SUPERS??

[Chris Josten]

220s and supers will both be stacked! We are also having a 220 mega match if you are interested

[Josh Handeland]

I'd guess 98's will be Adam King, Jeff Bickett, Mia Barker, Justin Hefling, Jack Weber, John Grant, Ben Brandt, Darren Johnson, Jeff Cerny, Mike Gritti, Jake Newstrom, maybe Sonny Larson? Eric Gunsch? Corey Miller, AJ Henson? Jason Cunningham? Should be some real good up and comers and a couple real good pro's, would be cool to see ya in that class Al, or in the 220's.

[Alan Bown]

Sure enjoyed watching you pull at the North Dakota tournament there Josh. You bring alot to the table!! That is quite a buffet of talent you listed in your post. let's hope we can get some of that name brand talent there. Tell me how the Mega matches work?

[Andrew Bieganski]

I think they are doin a round robin instead now. 100 bucks to enter. U pull everyone in the class once. Theres no eliminations. Whoever has the most wins wins. I think they pay to top 3.

[Alan Bown]

Thanks for that info Andrew. I want to add that it was an honor to meet you. Myself and everybody else enjoyed watching you compete in Bismark. Your one of the fastest big men i have seen off the go. Keep practicing in the strap as much as possible. I will be watching your progress, and expect to see big things from you in the near future!!

[Andrew Bieganski]

Thanks buddy. That means alot. Hope to c ya in south dakota

[Joseph Hammond]

Chris,

Why are we having so few classes? What happened to the 154, 176, 189, 198?
