Tomorrow, Sunday, 2/1 at 2 pm VT will take on UVA in Charlottesville. If you are within driving distance, admission is free. It will likely be a pro-hokie crowd, we will send a lot of fans. Be loud and be proud. for those of you who cannot make the trip, @VT_Wrestling on twitter will likely follow the action. Also if youre flush with cash, UVA will broadcast it for a free on Cavaliers Access.
VT should be a favorite in 8 of ten matches, with UVA favored at 133 and 197 as a push. VT is really rolling right now with the lineup finally back and whole. Cheer on your hokies!

So are we assuming Haught will be back tomorrow? I was really hoping he would be back last night since it would of been a good match up.
Word leaking out of blacksburg is that haught and zavatsky may not go, Haught as preventative, zavatsky due to the flu
Zavatsky had the flu and we didn't use it as an opportunity to get the UVA team sick? Darn....

Here is the link to watch the match.
Edit: sorry, you have to pay
Wish they streamed it for free like Tech does. Typical UVA...
Looks like I will be closely monitoring twitter for match results.
I'm following VT and UVA wrestling Twitter accounts and they're both terrible.
The VT wrestling account seems fine to me. What don't you like about it?
Maybe I'm just selfish, but Id like an update more often than just after each match. An update after each round would be nice.
It is very difficult to tweet about it and take notes for an article at the same time since the matches go so quickly.
I can see where it may not be ideal, but it doesn't take 10 seconds to say something like "Dance up 3-1 after the first." I've texted people updates before when I've been at a Match. And other teams give updates after each period, or sometimes after points are scored. I follow the opponents' Twitter accounts during matches also.
That is fair. You should tweet at them and make the suggestion if you haven't already.
I thought about it. I just didn't want to come off as an A-Hole. Maybe the person running the Twitter account has other responsibilities during matches, but it would be nice to have updates more often.
Edit: I do agree that they do a great job letting people know when the matches are and key matchups.
Hokiemacho, I don't know if you're connected to whoever does the Twitter account, but it was fantastic tonight. I wasn't at home and had to keep up on Twitter. They gave updates after every score.
For those not there this gives pretty reliable stats tracking:

They also mistakenly put Dance as a fall when it was actually just a decision so the score stands at 7-4
