Jersey Nailed it!
Great summary Jersey after a week of events few of us ever saw coming. And kudos to the Hokie coaches and wrestlers for handling this unforeseen circumstance better than anyone could have imagined. Here's what I posted in reply to the article:
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: the timing sucked … but I blame ISU and weak NCAA rules for that.
But in the end, the Hokie wrestling team will be OK this year and moving forward because Kevin Dresser built such an impressive program at Virginia Tech filled with coaches and wrestlers of character. Ironically, he built it so well that it will continue to survive and prosper even after he’s gone. That’s what great leaders do. Big things are expected at the ACC and NCAA tournaments this year, and that hasn’t changed. The unfinished goals remain the focus.
In the end, despite all the drama and emotion of this past week, the only thing left to say to Kevin Dresser is “Thank You” for everything he has done for Virginia Tech wrestling, his wrestlers, Hokie fans, and – even further – for wrestling throughout Virginia and the ACC. The man had a monumental impact.
Good luck to you and your family in Iowa, Coach!!! You will be missed and remembered fondly.
