I bet any of the Wolfpack wrestlers would trade their

Free acc championship t shirt for AA status in a heartbeat. The angst over “our wrestlers should cry when we lose and acc match or the acc championship” is beyond silly. And you know why - the acc isn’t a very good wrestling conference because Duke is the fifth best team. And they blow and have no commitment to the sport. So it’s a four team conference. So saying you are the best of four decent teams is meaningless. Maybe the next time we win the dual acc title or the acc tourney championship you can invest in some t shirts and sell them to all our fans, wrestlers and recruits who are just dying for that acc championship gear. I bet you sell less than 5 because that’s about how many people really care. I’ve have never anyone at the ncaa tournament wearing any gear for their team that mentions a conference championship, acc or other. ** Edited by GreenvilleVT at 1/16/2025, 6:53:39 AM

NCS vs. OSU thoughts
Hokie90_CA • 01/14/25 08:39 AM ET
Should be a win (FINALLY) for VT, over NCSU.
HokieJay • 01/14/25 01:49 PM ET
Not entirely accurate
samistone • 01/15/25 08:00 AM ET
Thank you. I was using tourney results only. **
HokieJay • 01/15/25 02:29 PM ET
Food for thought
samistone • 01/15/25 05:17 PM ET
This is a great take
Hikinghokie • 01/16/25 10:03 AM ET
Totally agree.
HokieJay • 01/16/25 03:23 PM ET
TartanHokie is right. Conference play doesn’t mean anything to recruits.
Rokie08 • 01/14/25 05:03 PM ET
Sorry Coach, I'll recruit the guys that care. Dresser did.
HokieJay • 01/14/25 08:27 PM ET
How many national champs did Dresser have?
hokieCT • 01/14/25 10:16 PM ET
TBF, iirc didn't dresser recruit Mekhi?
PalmHokie • 01/15/25 10:01 AM ET
Recruited, but never coached. **
TartanHokie • 01/15/25 05:56 PM ET
It might make fans feel better, but recruits don’t care.
TartanHokie • 01/14/25 03:48 PM ET
We obviously didn't get a visit due to a conference championship
Hikinghokie • 01/16/25 12:18 AM ET
That’s all true. But, almost every team (other than the big 3) loses duals.
TartanHokie • 01/16/25 08:17 AM ET
The sky isn't falling one bit
Hikinghokie • 01/16/25 09:25 AM ET
Just to clarify my position…losing sucks, but
TartanHokie • 01/16/25 09:59 AM ET
You sure about that?
HokieJay • 01/14/25 08:25 PM ET
I bet any of the Wolfpack wrestlers would trade their ◄
GreenvilleVT • 01/16/25 06:49 AM ET
I hear you. Stanford takes us up to 7 teams, right?
HokieJay • 01/16/25 03:00 PM ET
You will never ever see someone at the ncaa tournament or elsewhere
GreenvilleVT • 01/16/25 04:47 PM ET
Go poll some HS wrestlers and ask them what their goals are
Pylons • 01/15/25 10:15 AM ET
Hopefully a good degree is also one of their goals!**
UpperQuad • 01/15/25 02:18 PM ET
Most of these schools limit what kids can study if on scholarship.**
TartanHokie • 01/16/25 07:32 AM ET
VT Wrestling has had guys in Engineering and Business majors
UpperQuad • 01/16/25 04:26 PM ET
I don’t think that is the burn that you think it is…
TartanHokie • 01/15/25 05:58 AM ET
You just proved everyone else’s point. Dresser with 6 straight ACC
ChEHokie78 • 01/14/25 10:30 PM ET
He also had our best ever national finish in 2016
Hikinghokie • 01/16/25 12:23 AM ET
No one cares!
Hokie havoc • 01/14/25 09:33 PM ET
Nah, bad take
Hikinghokie • 01/15/25 01:38 AM ET
Nah
Hokie havoc • 01/15/25 06:24 AM ET
You don't think it makes an impression when Pop tells recruits
Hikinghokie • 01/15/25 08:40 AM ET
No**
TartanHokie • 01/15/25 01:27 PM ET
Nope
Hokie havoc • 01/15/25 12:18 PM ET
Yes sir!
dougie_fresh • 01/14/25 06:01 PM ET
They aren't mutually exclusive... the best programs are prepared to succeed
Palmetto Hokie • 01/14/25 05:32 PM ET
Not always
Hokie havoc • 01/14/25 10:23 PM ET
Sure, but they were prepared and competed... and Iowa is not the Tarholes**
Palmetto Hokie • 01/15/25 09:10 AM ET
Not my point
Hokie havoc • 01/15/25 12:24 PM ET
You're too reasonable!
Nafeikoh • 01/14/25 08:12 PM ET
On a positive note:
dougie_fresh • 01/14/25 03:21 PM ET
Think it comes down to if they pull any RS.**
TheFacts • 01/14/25 02:40 PM ET
The only one to really pull is Jack at 141
Hikinghokie • 01/14/25 03:34 PM ET
I think the big difference
Nafeikoh • 01/14/25 08:14 PM ET
Robinson has the skill set to be a natty champ right now
dougie_fresh • 01/14/25 10:45 AM ET
Wrestlestat Agrees With You
Jmeck77 • 01/14/25 10:21 AM ET
Would you bet on VT to win?**
HokieJay • 01/14/25 02:59 PM ET
No way!
