What's this?

Calling all Ghost Writers!

This is an exciting offer from Will and the Tech Sideline staff that could give the Hokie wrestling team much greater visability – taking baby steps in the direction of the on-line publicity for PSU, OSU and Iowa wrestling. Thank you TSL ten-fold!!! A separate message page, yes. Also, before next season begins, wrestling members on this forum (Jersey, Hokie576, Texas, Lifer, LeDouche etc. ) should figure ways to quickly submit ghost-written drafts (appropriate for all levels of VT fans) for TSL’s review and finalizing – along the lines of the great article drafted this week by Hokie576. I basically did that for my son’s high school newspaper and sports blog because the writers there also were not sufficiently informed about the sport to feel comfortable writing about it. With help from this forum, TSL could provide a lot more deserved exposure for this team on the rise.

The first thing you need to do is give Jerseyhokie29 Guru status -- Chesapeake_Hokie 03/24/2016 09:28AM

Does that go for other sports too? -- EDGEMAN 03/25/2016 10:16AM
