The wrestling season has come to a close and on Episode 12 of Inside Virginia Tech Wrestling, host Jason Bryant and head wrestling coach Kevin Dresser break down the individual performances at the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in St. Louis and look forward to the future. Coach Dresser also has a clinic and a fundraiser for Hokie Wrestling in Virginia Beach this weekend as the NHSCA National Championships take place at the Virginia Beach Convention Center, just blocks from the oceanfront. I'd like to include a personal note to all the fans of Virginia Tech wrestling who listen to this show regularly -- THANK YOU. As coach Dresser explains at the end of Episode 12, Virginia Tech was one of the first programs to jump on board with the Mat Talk Podcast Network. The relationship goes back to when he was coaching at Grundy and I was a high school student at Poquoson. Coach Dresser took a leap of faith on this project and I feel it's been a success. Virginia Tech has become the model program for which shows on the Mat Talk Podcast Network are to follow. An engaged fanbase, I ask to simply leave a review on iTunes or on Stitcher for how much you liked the show. I appreciate all the feedback Hokie Nation has provided this year and we will continue on in the off-season with athlete interviews, we'll talk to alumni and keep you engaged throughout the offseason!.

The home slate is finished for the Virginia Tech Hokie wrestling team and on Episode 10 of Inside Virginia Tech Wrestling, coach Kevin Dresser recaps the finale and looks towards the last two duals of the season. Virginia Tech will head to Chapel Hill on Friday, February 20 to take on North Carolina before heading up to Long Island to take on the host Pride of Hofstra University on February 22 at noon. After those duals, the ninth-ranked Hokies will hang around snow-covered Blacksburg to prepare for the ACC Championships, which take place on March 8 at Pittsburgh. Coach Dresser talks about sending off the seniors and the opportunity to wrestle three duals at the Moss Arts Center. He also gives Hokie Nation an update on the status of Austin Gabel at 184 pounds.

On Episode 2 of Inside Virginia Tech Wrestling, we talk with associate head coach Tony Robie. The Pennsylvania native was a two-time All-American for Edinboro and then went on to coaching positions at his alma mater, West Virginia and Michigan before landing the head coaching position at Binghamton.  After one year at Binghamton, Robie came to Blacksburg to join Kevin Dresser's staff. With a wealth of experience, Robie was a natural fit for the program. Robie discusses the relationship he and Dresser have with the way they operate the program.  Other than his resemblance to Dan Henderson, Robie speaks on a number of topics including the upcoming Hokie Open, the season's kickoff dual a day earlier against Division II Newberry College and the intrasquad match on October 30, just two days before the Hokie football game against Boston College. So make sure you take that half day, get to Blacksburg if you're coming in from out of town and make a weekend out of it.  Robie also touches on Joey Dance's upcoming participation at the NWCA All-Star Classic and talks about his own experience in the match back in 1997. We'll also break a little bit of news about another Hokie wrestler who will be making an appearance in Philadelphia.  A reminder, you can always go back and listen to the show at www.insidevirginiatechwrestling.com and they can subscribe using iTunes on your computer or Apple device by going to www.insidevirginiatechwrestling.com/itunes.
