Maybe it was a typo and they meant ESPN+

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months # ^

Hell of a typo

eshiben5 | 5 years 5 months # ^

All VT has to do is turn over its social security number and then it can freely interact with everyone!!!!

Get this shit off the message boards

Musky | 5 years 5 months # ^

I don't have a Twitter account I'd like Hokie wrestling to have a Parler acct so that I can follow. Is that asking too much?

Hokiemacho | 5 years 5 months # ^

Parler is now "persona non grata" so to speak.

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months # ^

You don't need a twitter account to follow along with the VT Wrestling tweets. I'd rather not have an institution that I love and respect associated with an alt-right hate website that calls for the murder of people that don't agree with their world views. There is no scurting this one. This shit does not belong on TKP nor anywhere.

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months # ^

Also as you notice me and Slice have been updating every match so you could have just followed the action here😂

Hokiemacho | 5 years 5 months # ^

Calling it an Alt-Right hate website is just political garbage.

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months # ^

Then you aren't up to date on current events...

Hokiemacho | 5 years 5 months # ^

I'm just smart enough not to take the party issued talking points a face value. You have sufficiently signaled your virtue so I'd appreciate if you leave it at that.

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months # ^

Here is some reading for you....

Thank you for assuming i'm only taking things at face value and haven't done my own research. You have signaled your virtue as well, and it doesn't appear to be vary virtuous.

This isn't an athletic department run website, so it's not the place to make direct requests of the athletic department. TKPers are providing updates within the thread for you.

Hokiemacho | 5 years 5 months #

Keep an eye on the Hokie Wrestling Twitter for updates on exhibition matches as well. Those have already started.

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Vt starts the day with Ohio (bobcats).

Started with a FF and a solid decision from Myers 7-2.

Tech leads 9-0

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Geradi in at 141 today with a pin. 15-0 Tech

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Andonian with the quick pin. 21-0 Tech

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Brady looked good, getting a Tech. 26-0

Hokiemacho | 5 years 5 months # ^

VT wrestling twitter says it was Clayton Ulrey

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months # ^

If he still had the epic mullet, it would have been easier to tell

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months # ^

Brady has blonde hair

Hokiemacho | 5 years 5 months # ^

At least Fisher kept his easily recognizable hair style.

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Mekhi gets the MD 12-2. 30-0

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Sam Fisher loses 8-5. Was a close match, Fisher's inexperience was probably the deciding factor.

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Catka wins 10-4. Pretty dominating win through and through

Hokiemacho | 5 years 5 months # ^

Really glad to see Catka out there and overpower his opponent. He is definitely the future at HWT.

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months # ^

Espically since Earnest is a fringe ranked heavyweight

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Ulrey is having a extra match rn. Guessing Brady will start against Kent State

Hokiemacho | 5 years 5 months # ^

Looks like Robie is mixing and matching his lineup. Has that luxury when Tech jumps out to a big lead. I'm really excited to see all these young guys get after it.

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months # ^

Agreed. Just looking for the best 57 option heading into the acc duals

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Urley wins 7-4

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Probably lineup against Kent st
125: Latona
133: Myers/Wittenberg
141: Hillegas
149: Andonian/Hart
157: Brady
165: Lewis
174: Scott
184: Bolen
197: Smith/Smeltzer
285: Borst

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Vt v Kent State

Latona opens up with a MD 10-2. Tech 4-0

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

God ESPN+ is as bad as the ACC network😂

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months # ^

It is just so so bad.

Hokiemacho | 5 years 5 months # ^

A twitch streamer has better production than this.

Hokiemacho | 5 years 5 months #

Wittenberg in at 133 and he is letting it rip. Went for a couple inside trips and double overhooks for a throw.

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Good work on that reversal by Wittenberg but then he gave one up😔

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Nice takedown👀

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

What the hell is the challenge?

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Awful call that was a takedown by a mile

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Hillegas with another pin! 10-3 Tech

Hokiemacho | 5 years 5 months # ^

He just went out there and ate that guy's lunch.

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Big pinfall from Hillegas💪💪

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

3-0 with 2 pins ain't a bad way to start your career😎

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Brady looking good in this match

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Actual Brady with the Tech

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Nice cradle for lewis to go up 6-0

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Nice 2 nearfall points

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Mekhi with the Tech

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Hell of a tech fall💪😎

Hokiemacho | 5 years 5 months #

Been waiting to see Howard get on the mat. Excited to see what he can do.

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months # ^

The guy he's wrestling is number 11 in the country

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

I've noticed that Mekhi is not going for pins. Hes looking for ways to improve his offense

Hokiemacho | 5 years 5 months # ^

That's a smart mentality to have if he wants to stay #1. Training with James Green can't hurt either.

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months # ^

Agreed. Always be improving your offense in wrestling

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Howard needs some kind of shot defense, bad.

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months # ^

Dude take it easy. Hes a redshirt freshman taking on a top 15 senior😂 only losing 12-8 is pretty good

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months # ^

I don't know how much more easy I can go? haha He got taken down at will, I think it's a fair criticism to say he needs shot defense. Also, he is a R. Soph, three years in college, you'd expect a sprawl or two.

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months # ^

Still out experience and adjusting to a new weight he'll be fine he still gots another 3 years😊

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months # ^

For sure for sure. I was happy to see it appears he has retained his motor even after dropping so much weight.

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Howard loses by decision. I don't think he stopped a single shot. He's got a motor, and is a big 74, but gots no defense.

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Bolen with a solid Tech

Hokiemacho | 5 years 5 months # ^

Glad to see him looking sharp after last week. He took a shot at getting a pin once the tech fall was secured.

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months # ^

Yep the hunter bolen I love seeing😎

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

My wrestler to watch out for this season😎

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Yep that was 2 all day

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

SHIT

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

JESUS

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Smith is just a really good counter attacker

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Gritty win for Smith in OT

Hokiemacho | 5 years 5 months # ^

To go from ahead to giving up an awful takedown late, getting the escape, and overpowering your opponent in sudden victory was impressive.

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

If he had the upper body strength of Smeltzer he would be a top 15 wrestler at 97

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

In other news we have locked up our first ever dual victory against Kent state😎

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Bah gawd lads they fixed the audio in the last match of the dual😂

Hokiemacho | 5 years 5 months # ^

Better late than never I guess.

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Borst w/ the Tech. Nice to see him generate some offense

Hokiemacho | 5 years 5 months # ^

So far he looks like he has made big strides during the off-season. Hope it continues in to ACC duals.

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

32-9 dub😎

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

My guessing lineup against WVU
125: Latona
133: Myers
141: Hillegas
149: Andonian
157: Brady
165: Lewis
174: Howard
184: Bolen
197: Smith
285 Borst/Catka

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Don't forget to switch to mat 1 gentlemen😊

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Go time😎

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Latona is a lanky man😂

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

PULLLLL😂

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Latona fought hard to not give up the TD to win the opening match v WVU, 3-2!

Hokiemacho | 5 years 5 months # ^

Quality win. First of many for him.

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months # ^

Yeah he's a kid too look out for 😎

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

NICE SCRAMBLE woooo that was close😂

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

So hard to score on lanky guys

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months # ^

I hated wrestling short guys. I'm average height, and I just had the hardest time getting in on like sub 5' 5" guys.

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months # ^

Imagine trying to wrestle dance😂. It goes both ways cause. It's hard to get under on small guys it's hard to scramble with lanky wrestlers

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Myers looking good😎

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Close to a major😔

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Myers with a solid decision. In control the whole time.

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Give me another Hillegas pin plz😊

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

God Hillegas is looking so good so far

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

I love how he looked for a cradle

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Oooof

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Yeah Hillegas has improved tremendously from HS to College so far

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Hillegas rides it out to get the Dec. Tank looked a little low at the end, but was dominant early.

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

You can tell Hillegas has been rolling around with Frayer. He defends really well with that chest wrap

Friendly thought for those providing updates: proceed under the assumption that not everyone is watching the match. Therefore in order for there to be value, there needs to be more context. This isn't a football live thread where most of TKP is watching and knows what you're talking about.

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months # ^

Ehhh I'll try😊

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Nice cradle😎

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Andonian ends the first period 9-3. Gave up a sloppy takedown early, but recovered nicely with a reversal to a cradle for back points.

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months # ^

That WVU guy is decent on top

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Not a great second period for Bryce. Gets ridden the entire period, but BA still leads 9-3.

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months # ^

Good reversal by Andonian

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

BA gets a reversal in the third to win 11-3 with the Major. Teach leads 13-0

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

That WVU guy is gonna be a decent wrestler imo

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months # ^

Wvu kid had some good shoots and some great top work just couldn't force any turns

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Brady with a takedown and about 2 mins of riding time heading into the second. Leads 2-0

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Brady is looking really good compared to last weekend

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Brady is looking real good. Going for the major

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Nice controlling 8-2 win for Brady. Now it's Mekhi time😎

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Brady won 8-2. Controlled the entire match, generated good offense, and was a hammer on top. Hoping his opening weekend was just an anomaly.

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months # ^

No Mekhi😭

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Makhi sits out the last match of the day. R. Soph Jordan Florence fills in.

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months # ^

Florence loses 12-4

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months # ^

He tried

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Former High school teammates crime👀

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Howard did a great job battling, just dug too deep of a hole. Loses 8-12

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

To little too late for howard loses 12-8😔

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Aggressive bolen best bolen up 9-2😄

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

15-4 bolen😎

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

18-6 MD for Bolen. tech has clinched the dual😊

Hokiemacho | 5 years 5 months # ^

I'm hoping that means Catka at HWT.

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months # ^

He is 😊

HokieSlice | 5 years 5 months #

Smith showed some heart with the late takedown. Good learning match for him all things considered.

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

You know. Even tho Smith lost getting that takedown proves to me he can be really good

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Nice 4 point move😎

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Catka is just a monster😦

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

24-10 win over WVU😎

ThunderingHokie | 5 years 5 months # ^

Good.

APrimusHokie | 5 years 5 months #

Good day Lads I see y'all next Friday😊
