So this is a mess, but heres the best i can tell for wrestling:
- VT owns the live broadcast rights to all home matches
- The ACC own all archive rights for all VT home matches
- The ACC is willing to grant those rebroadcast rights to ESPN3 if they cover the matches live
So VT can and has broadcast every home match in some fashion (hokiesXtra or ESPN3). Tech has its hands tied on the archive rights. If the ACCDN doesnt either archive it themselves or let ESPN3 have the match we dont get to see it.
The away matches default to the home teams. So Pitt was able to get ESPN3 to pick up the match. NCSU was either not able to or not interested in having ESPN3 pick our match up.
Other non ACC schools control the rights to our away matches. Edinboro for example has signed a contract with FLOWrestling to cover all their home matches. So VT edinboro this weekend will be on FLOWrestling.
Its a crap situation, but the important thing is Kevin Dresser and VT are making every effort in their power.
Yep.
Yarborough, Ball, McCargo, Dickerson, Leota....2016 was a good year for OL.....
We had a few tight end turned offensive linemen that did alright under Stinespring.
You cannot choose seats until the selection process begins in April. You will then get to select in order of priority.
Flipping Fox and Ross is not only good for the defense from a generic recruiting standpoint but flipping those guys from UNC would be huge as a signal. Think of it as a financial signal, regardless of the reasons, it's a negative signal for a company to not pay dividends if they have been doing so consistently. Flipping two recruits from UNC would be a positive signal for other recruits to notice. I think it would have a great intangible effect on recruiting moving forward.
Getting the WRs to enroll early will help a ton too.
I don't think it is a step backwards, just maybe not a step forwards. We appear on paper to have satisfied the need at WR with a heck of a haul there. We snagged some OL which is always nice. We needed some LBs which has been a miss thus far but could possibly change. We reloaded the cupboard with QBs and grabbed a very good looking CB.
We had some misses but I think our success in other areas even out to neutral. If we finish strong we could be in much better shape and next year hopefully we start on the upswing when the staff has a full year.
I guess I just don't understand the politics and selection criteria behind ESPN3 broadcasts. ESPN owns the rights to ACC sports so they can pick and chose what they want to air. How much does it cost to show a particular sport?
It is just strange to me that they have picked to air WVU and Pitt but not NCSU which will be a battle of top 10 teams for the ACC dual title and a trip to the National Duals tourney.
That's it....I was particularly impressed with the warp speed that Joey executes his.
You can see it on the highlights video at Hokiesports.com.

Thanks!
Yes, the new S&C coach called the players over winter break and told them to start getting ready, they will be worked hard and will be doing a lot more running and cardio type work than before.

Yeah so we had this debate last year when sal hit it. From the discussion i think we agreed that both moves use the headlock. The Cement mixer adds the opposite underhook to control, while the Gatot roll is for freestyle (where only back exposure matters). Not a huge difference and not worth arguing about.
One of the tough parts of learning wrestling is all the sport specific jargon. This is one of those examples.

# | Justin Fuente's Playlist, "Blue Collar" Style Impress Florida Visitors on Big Recruiting Weekend As a marketing major, we've been talking in several of my classes about how listening can be a bigger part to appealing to customers/clients than talking. Sounds silly, but this whole coaches listening to rap/dancing in the locker room thing might be effective. And I mean you look at someone like DABo Swiney and how well Clemson has been doing in recent years...not traditional but whatever works.
"YOU ARE THE WAFFLE GUY" Lost it
We used to call that the Gator Roll, up in IL/WI. Super effective in breaking dudes down from the neutral.
Cant pull the video from Hokiesports right now, but the move is called a cement mixer (or gator roll, though theres a small technical difference). Dance has a front headlock and will roll towards the free side, while simultaneously threading his off arm into an underhook. He will then reverse and settle for the pin if his opponent is caught off guard, which he is. Its a high risk high reward maneuver, that dance only attempts when he has the MD wrapped up. For another example, Sal did this in his miracle comeback last year at NCAAs. In this case he already has the underhook, and uses that to turn Cimato. Dance rolled the other way since he didnt have an underhook. Prior to this move he was down 10-4, and changed the score to 10-9:
We have plenty of TEs!
*ducks*
I'd be pumped if we got Pigrome, Fox, and Ross. We especially need guys like Fox and Ross to add some talent at DE and LB.

Yea..... still better than 2011 when we only took one, but we will need to take a few next year. Looking at the regional pool though I don't see many Offensive linemen in VA/NC/DC/MA for the 2017 cycle which has me worried on our prospects
Offensive lineman. We need some.
Da fuck is Gobblertown?
