why would you hate Dresser?

Dresser came in and took over a floundering program that was close to being axed. He turned the program around and led us to a national podium finish and a streak of all-american years that continued today. Dresser departed the program in great shape for Robie (who Dresser brought in to Tech back in 2006) and returned home to Iowa where his roots are.

ChEHokie78 • 12/01/25 07:40 AM ET

It’s not a bad look on Dresser from what little knowledge I know.
RJHokie • 11/30/25 06:05 PM ET
Dresser was from Iowa
HokieInClifton • 11/30/25 04:42 PM ET
