    I was wondering when this was going to happen.
    I was talking to a father of an OSU wrestler whose son works out with Tommy...
    And it seemed that Tommy was still interested in the 2012 Olympics.
    Good luck Tommy.

    This is great. He has a unique set of physical and mental attributes that allow him to be the top 1% of 1% of all wrestlers in this country. We as a country need people like him (and Lester, for that matter) to continue to work towards Olympic gold despite their setbacks. He is still in his prime, and even having him there to push everyone else (although I am rooting for him to make the team) makes our country's team better.

    You busy come the summer of 2012, snuggly?

    Why? You want to set up the Inaugural Central District Olympic Wrestling trip to London?
  • cruiser_96
    I might... If Tommy makes it, the trip certainly becomes MUCH more appealing. Or should I say appealling???

    Sure, why not, I'm in. I am booked solid through 2011, but my schedule opens considerably around May 2012. I can see you with a little triangle American flag ala Homer Simpson swooning like a schoolgirl when Rowlands is announced. We could contract with Flo to do live on site updates. I may not be photogenic, but I can hold my own in front of the camera when it comes to public speaking...Maybe we could have Bitter go along to do a "You know what really grinds my gears?" segment from London as well...just thinking out loud.

    I love it! And yes, I would swoon like a school girl. Make no mistake!
