Unusual pre-match routine

When Jack Marr coached at Woodberry Forest, he did not have the wrestlers warm up on the mat. Each wrestler would do his warm up prior to his match. He believed that after a few matches the pre-match warm up was of little value. However, at home he had a record player and he always brought a record player to away matches so he could play "The Student Prince" for his wrestlers while they were in the locker room before the matches started.

I learned something new from the Robie interview

Coach has awful tastes in Christmas movies
Hikinghokie • 12/20/23 01:45 PM ET
It has a wrestling scene... sorta**

Coach was asked about "unusual" VT pre-match routines

Joe Rogan had Daniel Cormier on his podcast recently

Sounds like 141 (as we knew) and 165 are still up in the air.
Wilmington Hokie • 12/20/23 09:14 AM ET
He briefly mentioned 197 was being figured out and focused on 184 a lot
donjfs3 • 12/22/23 06:48 PM ET
Got the impression Brady is the heavy favorite as starter at 165.
VTDante • 12/20/23 05:22 PM ET
I'm guessing that Robie is holding off on 165 to keep competitive pressure

Brady graduated so might be his last year.**
wasris • 12/20/23 09:30 PM ET
That's probably the way to go
Hikinghokie • 12/20/23 07:53 PM ET
"trade best year for worst year"... probably least applies to wrestling**
Palmetto Hokie • 12/20/23 10:48 PM ET
Robie's words, not mine
Hikinghokie • 12/20/23 11:55 PM ET
I just watched the Stanford dual on youtube last night. Right after
goodbadugly • 12/20/23 11:12 AM ET
I agree, I think he was excited about the win and the way Connor wrestled.**
Wilmington Hokie • 12/20/23 11:22 AM ET
He could have been angry about giving up 2 escapes with seconds left**
ChEHokie78 • 12/20/23 11:22 AM ET
They were frustrated with him messing with his hair / headgear.**
TheFacts • 12/20/23 01:14 PM ET
This is more likely... or is he jaded to it after 4 years of the same**
