Thank you
That's an awesome site, thanks for the heads up. Three things I saw:
1. They have us beating NC State 16-15. Problem is they have Sleigh wrestling and taking the W. If he's not ready, there's a good chance of a six point swing in NC State's favor. On Friday, I really hope they are the team that showed up this weekend, and not the one that wrestled at UNC.
2. Even with the team score so close, they have most of our wins by 1 or two points which means those matches are toss ups, maybe giving us the edge for home mat advantage. They also have ZZ losing by one to a guy he lost to in SV, the only other time they wrestled.
3. They had us beating UNC, 27-4, or something close to that. Being a wrestling fan for a long time, but new to following VT wrestling, I didn't realize what an upset that was when they beat us. I knew we lost some matches that could have gone either way, two in SV, but didn't know we were so favored on paper. That's one of the best things about wrestling though, a couple of guys over-achieving can really make a difference in the total team score. And anyone could have a bad day really throwing a wrench into what was projected.
Can anyone tell I am psyched for this match on Friday. I'm actually more sad that I live in North NJ and can't make it to watch any matches live, than I am that I can't make it to watch Hokie football play in Lane. Can't believe I didn't start paying attention to Tech wrestling earlier! I can't wait to follow wrestlers from HS through their career at Tech, I am officially hooked.
Thanks again for the info, I will be wasting a lot of my time playing on the site.
