Not to re-open a 14 year old wound but anyone read "Four Days to Glory"?


Doing some cleaning upstairs and came across this book...Iowa fan friend must've given it to me years ago. I took a quick glance of the back and it's a book that covered Borschel and LeClere's Iowa high school accomplishments and first year at VT up until Brands left.

On the next to last page of the book, this is what caught my eye and, quite frankly pissed me off..."...the boys were left to make their own decisions. They could remain in Blacksburg and begin competing immediately for the new regime at Tech, at full or nearly full scholarship, under a longtime Virginia high school coach who was hired to replace Brands."

That's the published story and account...no mention of Kevin Dresser's name, the fact that he was an Iowa guy, National Champion, etc.....NOPE! Just a longtime Virginia high school coach. Wow.

Like many here, having followed the whole saga back in 2006 and the years of discussion afterward, I was/am tired of it. Still, that biased "journalism" re-ignited my hate-fire for Iowa, haha.
