My issue was not that Andonian (and Bolen 2nd match) lost Friday night

but it's HOW they looked while losing.

Both looked/were gassed and that's unacceptable (unless injured or ill) at the end of the year, imo.

If you're going to lose, get beat by someone better, not because you didn't have enough juice.

"Control the controllables"...being able to GO and having the lungs to GO 7+ minutes is a "controllable" in my (former wrestling coach) eyes.

(Again, I'm assuming they weren't injured or sick...)

Incase you were wondering about 2021 ACC All Americans -- wasris 03/22/2021 08:58AM

I am declaring 4 AA's. Mekhi is an All American in my book. -- Hokie Flyer 03/22/2021 09:27AM

My hopes for AA in 2022....Latona, Bolen, Mehki, Catka -- wasris 03/22/2021 09:52AM

The skepticism of Andonian seems overwrought. -- Hokiemacho 03/22/2021 12:01PM

I agree with this comment, I think we have GREAT guys on the team, but ... -- SimV Hokie 03/22/2021 2:07PM

Not sure we can judge... -- VPIGUY 03/22/2021 3:10PM

Sure, but I would also counter that they were 8-10 hours AFTER weigh in. -- VTraised 03/22/2021 3:18PM

I have to disagree...the 2nd day cut is always harder -- VPIGUY 03/22/2021 3:35PM

So did conferences with 2 day tourneys have an advantage? -- VTFirstGen 03/23/2021 3:08PM

Sure it is, but that’s across the board. -- VTraised 03/22/2021 4:19PM

VPI and VTraised, could you outline for us the steps.... -- wasris 03/22/2021 4:09PM

Different guys do it different ways. -- VTraised 03/22/2021 4:23PM

Agreed. Everyone has a different routine, but the guys walking around 10+ -- VPIGUY 03/22/2021 4:59PM

I forget. Do they weight in on 3rd day of NCAAT with 2 lb allowance? -- Hokie Flyer 03/22/2021 4:39PM

I believe day 3 is a 2 lb allowance unless something has changed. ** -- VPIGUY 03/22/2021 4:59PM

I have higher hopes....but that is why they call them hopes. ** -- Hokie Flyer 03/22/2021 10:24AM

Who else and why? Appreciate!! ** -- wasris 03/22/2021 10:25AM

Well I think we need to sort a couple things out on lineup first, but... -- Hokie Flyer 03/22/2021 10:31AM

We need to bring in a transfer at 197 -- OrangeHokieFan 03/22/2021 11:27AM

A quality transfer with one year eligibility would be good. -- Hokiemacho 03/22/2021 12:03PM

I like that kinda talk with a couple addons. -- wasris 03/22/2021 10:49AM

I wonder if -- Hokiefan94 03/22/2021 2:16PM

Sounds good.4Q, Academic AA, EWL/MAC champ at 184, seeded #14 2021 -- wasris 03/22/2021 2:36PM

It's early to talk lineup, but I'd love to see -- Wilmington Hokie 03/22/2021 12:13PM

Mehki moving to 174 is going to make another natty for him really tough. -- ElbertoHokie 03/22/2021 1:49PM

We could use another hammer. -- wasris 03/22/2021 1:57PM

Would love to see Borst at 197 -- vtdadingf 03/22/2021 1:33PM

Borst is not returning ** -- VT1986 03/22/2021 7:34PM

I would be surprised if Borst returns. -- Hokiemacho 03/22/2021 1:38PM

Yep!! -- wasris 03/22/2021 1:52PM

Bulsak 197 at Clarion in the portal as of today -- 133966Hokie 03/22/2021 3:01PM

Gas Tank Gary is also in the portal as of today... -- VPIGUY 03/22/2021 3:16PM
