What's this?

Not really

Last year, only Oklahoma State, Nebraska, and Rutgers qualified 10 wrestlers for the tournament and they finished 2nd, 8th and 15th respectively. And of those, only Okie Lite was considered a contender for the title going in. I think having 7 to 9 wrestlers in the tournament, having most of them contend for AA honors, and having as many bonus point threats as possible is more important than just having a warm body in every weight class.

Yes it was Nick. It was ticky tack. -- Hokie Flyer 01/23/2017 5:52PM

Regarding Brascetta, more like a push than slap in my opinion. The other -- dallasvt 01/23/2017 10:04PM

Agreed ticky tack call. Couldn't remember if it was a shove or headslap. ** -- Hokie Flyer 01/24/2017 06:55AM
