Posting History (318)

Surely you jest??

Franklin was an incredible steal for a fledgling Hokie program. I will take my chances with Coach Franklin all day, everyday!!

Gotcha

I knew about the prostitution issue, thought there was some intel I was missing out on. Thanks for the explanation.

Just Curious??

Why the hate for Snyder?? Thinking maybe there is something I am unaware of?? Thanks in advance.

A Huge Thank You

To Coach Dresser. Without him, we have NONE of this. Yes, Robie has been unbelievably instrumental in building the program. Anytime I talk to Coach Dresser, I always thank him for saving the program and I end our talk with a “Go Hokies”.

Completely agree!

If UVA cared about Wrestling, Garland would have been gone three years ago. What UVA likes about Steve is….. uber-religious, will never ask for a raise, is a very nice man, and team GPA will always be great. He is a man of extremely high morals, and never has had any negative PR in his career at UVA.

This is painful!

Pete is a stubborn man, lol. No way mazz would have stepped in the circle for me today.

Completely agree!

No way am I going down with Mazzarone in the circle today.

I strongly disagree!

No way I am going down with Mazz on the mound tomorrow.

4-1 Akron

Lynch with 2 errors in the inning and Mazzarone with 2 walks in the inning. No idea how Pete trusts Mazzarone at this point of the season.

Completely agree!!

Would have told her at the beginning of the game, the first time you walk two batters in an inning, you are done. Pete needed a quick hook tonight.

This Rhetoric is Exhausting

I am so tired of reading all of the excuses by some of our fans in all sports. I played two sports at Tech years ago and my father is a VHSL HOF coach so I have been around athletics since birth. Yesterday, the ump’s strike zone was very tight both ways, we didn’t lose because of ball/strike calls. We lost because of 4BB, 2 passed balls, and an error in the first two innings. Sometimes, you just have to admit the other team was better than you on that day. Based on the way the game was played yesterday, FSU was the better team. I am just so tired of all the excuses by some members of our fanbase.

Manning is a decent person

I had the pleasure of spending time with Coach Manning years ago when he was recruiting a kid we coached here in Virginia. He always seemed like a pretty good person and was very transparent. You have to be a bit of a salesman to succeed in college wrestling these days. I love Coach Dresser, but he could sell ice to an Eskimo, lol.

Team Chemistry

My only concern with him being back in the room is how this affects the team chemistry. However, I trust Robie 100 percent to make the right decision.

Coach Robie says Hello!

Despite being a wrestling alum, I believe that softball has the best chance of winning a national title sooner than later. However, I think the wrestling program may have better “numbers” the last 6 years. I am a huge softball fan and have these girls in the same “rooting interests” as football and wrestling. Coach Pete has done an incredible job and hopefully he continues to stay in Blacksburg. Would love to see this team make the WCWS! Go Hokies!

We can agree to disagree

I would be fine with losing one of our coaches. Matter of fact, it needs to happen if we are going to be on the podium next year.

Josh was an AA.

Josh was my suite mate and teammate in the early 90s. Unknown to most, Josh was the head coach at Great Bridge for one year. Josh is a fabulous human being! Based on our development of upper weights, Nick going to tOSU was probably a good decision for him.

Trying to Register

I keep trying to make my picks.....Anyway you could send me the link to my email?? It is [email protected] Thanks so much!

Get on Board

And donate to the SERTC which supports our wrestling program. There are only 10 weight classes in college wrestling and we could have 4 national champions next year. We have signed the greatest high school wrestler ever. Rather than take a shot at the program, get on board. The program is about two wrestlers away from legitimately competing for a national title. I am so proud to be a wrestling alum. Coach Robie and his staff are doing an incredible job.

I have NCST….

Winning 6 bouts. Hopefully, I am wrong. I absolutely hate Popolizio.

Yes!!

Coach Cheynet was our coach. Coach Dresser was our Grad Assistant and he enjoyed beating the crap out of me everyday as we were around the same weight. Coach Dresser is a good man and recruited a few of our wrestlers during his time as the head coach at Tech. I still keep in touch with him.

These types of tournaments…….

Are productive in two ways, getting guys quality matches and improving our guys pedigrees for seeding purposes in March. I wrestled at Tech in the early 90s and in the middle of my 29th year of coaching high school wrestling in Virginia. In the last three weeks, we have had multiple entries at a lot of weights. The experience for our B team kids is invaluable.

I completely disagree!!

Went to El Paso when UCLA destroyed us, I had a great time at the bars and with the citizens of El Paso.

Better option…..

Drop Volleyball and pick up Women’s Wrestling

I coached both of them in high school.

His uncle, Daryl, was a very good kid while in high school about 20 years ago.

What is your problem with Kevin?

Coach Dresser was my grad assistant back in the early 90s and recruited a few kids where I coached at from 09-19. Coach Dresser is a great man, with a wry sense of humor, and does not sugar coat anything. I texted him today to congratulate him on the big win.

Are you serious??

This is exactly why I skipped this game for the first time since 1988. 3-25 and you are running your mouth??? This is the worst Tech team in over 40 years. Congrats you beat a really bad team who is missing their 10-15 best players.

2 huge drops

By Heath!! Cost us a scoring opportunity in the 1st quarter.

No longer than

2 years! We will compete for an ACC title in 2027.

God, I hope not!!!

Hoping we can close the deal on Coach Franklin. If not, we need to go and get Dan Mullen.

He does a great job of coaching

His kids up…. However, he is a complete douche!! From Tallahassee, Go Hokies!!

Completely Disagree

Franklin is the best choice as of today….. brings recruits with him, national exposure, immediate relevance. Downfall is he is gone in 5 years. We need to return to national prominence now!

No Thanks!

Only candidate I am all in on is Franklin!! Mullen- I am 50% in Chesney- No Thanks Franklin brings immediate exposure and recruits to Blacksburg.

I completely concur

Stoops (UK) would be an awful hire!! Now, Bob Stoops would be interesting!!

Not saying you are wrong, but…..

From an extremely well connected source, I have been told that Stoops (UK) was in town last week and Franklin has been in town this week. Does not mean either will be our next head coach, but obvious both have interest.

Fabulous

If true!!!! The guy has out recruited us for years now!!!

No Thanks!

Give me Franklin all day, every day!!

No Thanks!

Give me any of the following: Franklin Mullen Urban Kingsbury

God, I hope not!

If Chesney is the best we can do, that will be pituful.

No Thanks

We need to have far higher aspirations!

Drones!!!

This kid never quit on this team!! May be his best game ever!!!
