In 2011 #12 ranked Virginia Tech Wrestling burst onto the national scence with a 2nd place finish at the National Duals. They upset the #2 Oklahoma Sooners in the quarterfinals, a win Kevin Dresser called, “By far the biggest win for the Virginia Tech program.” They then went on to beat #4 Wisconsin in the semi-finals to advance to the Championship match where they fell to #1 Cornell.
This definitely put Virginia Tech Wrestling on the map.
Against Texas A&M? I believe it was either '02 or '03? We beat ranked Marshall, LSU, and A&M in out of conference games that year (and they were all at home - had no idea how good I had it as a student). I can't remember if it was my Sophomore year or Freshman. But being in the stands during a legit hurricane, and watching us walk on a team from Texas... if there are going to be 64 seeds, this has to be one of them.
to events I actually attended:
1980 basketball game vs. Louisville in Blacksburg (we lost, but I've still never heard Cassell louder)
1986 basketball beats Memphis
1995 Sugar Bowl win over Texas
1999 Syracuse game (the 62-0 win with Gameday in town for the first time)
1999 national title game, even though we lost
2000 game at ECU (had a great time & then went to the beach)
2001 punt block vs. Miami (never heard Lane louder)
2002 football beats LSU
2003 football beats Miami
2004 football beats UVa, restoring order to the universe
2005 football season-opening win at NC State (great crowd, great tailgate, great game)

2010 football beats NC State on the road (very satisfying come-from-behind win)
2010 football beats GT (Wilson KO return TD #2)
2010 football beats FSU in ACCCG
2011 football beats Miami
I'm sure I forgot a thing or two.
plus the spontaneous pep rally / riot downtown the night before. unauthorized Hokie bird appearance in the back of a pick up truck, people getting arrested, the whole 9 yards.
this was my freshman year, heard the commotion from my dorm and we wandered out there. it was a good way to start things off
followed by 52-14
Where is Tookes?
Tech's win over Miami in 2004 winning its first of many ACC titles. Here is the go ahead
Tech strangling LSU in 2002. One of the the bigger non-conference wins the program has had. Remember this Kevin Jones run? I was in NEZ for it and I knew we had a stud on our hands. Everyone in the bleachers gasped, then lost their shit when he cut it back.
Rece Davis states around 2:30 into the video that not a single ball has reached the outfield. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIxN41iQM3I
chris fowlers reaction is priceless
Jeez, this one needs more pluses!
As a Pats fan i hope Belichick signs him. Hes done wonders with players that have big ego's. And will get everything he can out of Hall unless it turned into a Haynsworth situation.
Couple votes in addition to Tincher's:
1. The victory over Texas in the Sugar Bowl - it is our biggest win ever and started the BCS bowl streak.
2. The defeat of #1 (or would have been #1) Memphis State in '85-86 - the loudest moment ever in Cassell.
3. Les Hinson's 90+ foot bucket against Florida State - was in the Guinness book for a while
This one for sure. In fact, it is probably the single most impressive performance by any Hokie ever. Tincher not only beat the best team in the WORLD, but she no hit them...I think only two balls made it out of the infield. I also believe that Team USA had never lost before. To put that in perspective, it would be like the VT basketball team beating the Dream Team by 50.
That one's pretty popular with the people I know whenever we talk about FSU. Never thought about using it with the Mock Chop
^^ Youre right
he was my neighbor last year in the dorm....id recognize him anywhere haha
I was in Death Valley for this game, that victory was so very, very sweet.
what a catch, id never seen this before
winner
I could watch the full speed hit on loop for hours...so sick!!
That entire BC game was just absurd. Maybe not a "greatest-all time" but that was just so fun to watch.
