I just want to say, I was the original Seidel superfan and the only one who drove 10 hours in a day to watch him wrestle.

[Joe Girgente @Captain_Lil_Joe]

I've been hyped about Seidel since he committed to VT. He finally got to wrestle and proved what we knew.
He is a stud.

@GlobalWresOrder @LLovesWrestling You heard me!

[Joe Girgente @Captain_Lil_Joe]

@GlobalWresOrder @LLovesWrestling NCAA won't let him wrestle Davino. They'll find a way to have him meet Jax multiple times a year and never feed him Davino.

@irishexit69 @JBthehawkeye You responded to a prediction of Ventresca for 8th by saying he's too old to do that.

[Joe Girgente @Captain_Lil_Joe]

@irishexit69 @JBthehawkeye Which would literally be 8th or 4th in NCAAs, so either exactly where this prediction had him or much better. Your point doesn't make sense.

[Joe Girgente @Captain_Lil_Joe]

@jasonmbryant @CPyles8 Wow forgot about Justus, didn't know about Prater. Thanks Jason.

@treadmillhorse @asc7c @boyersnet Blacksburg summers are much less tolerable than they used to be. You used to be able to live comfortably through the summer with no a/c. No longer is that the case.

@KevinMeador4 @JagerHokie @GregOConnell4 They only host 1-2 matches per year in Moss because you have to pay for those tickets. They like to keep most matches free so most are in Cassell.

2025: Cassell - 4, Moss - 1
2024: Cassell- 4, Moss - 1
2023: 6, 1
2022: 4, 1

Want me to go on?

[Joe Girgente @Captain_Lil_Joe]

@KevinMeador4 @JagerHokie @GregOConnell4 Wrestling already wrestles almost all their matches in Cassell and has for many years.

[Joe Girgente @Captain_Lil_Joe]

@JagerHokie @GregOConnell4 Don't act like that $3mil in 1964 isn't the equivalent of almost $32.5 mil today.

And that $1mil = $2.5mil today. No one wants them to rename Lane or Worsham and the money then was more than enough to justify the original names.

[Joe Girgente @Captain_Lil_Joe]

@CPyles8 What have you done with Spey?

[Joe Girgente @Captain_Lil_Joe]

Ugh Mario Carini allowed 9 straight points in the 2nd and lost 9-8 in Fargo finals... he's going to have nightmares about that match

[Justin Basch @JustinJBasch]

That’s FOUR Fargo Titles for Virginia Tech commit, Melvin Miller! The future Hokie notched a 7-4 win over Rocco Cassioppi in the 165-lb Finals to secure the 4th stop sign.

[LiveBreatheHokie @burgfanvtsertc]

MARVELOUS MELVIN MILLER!!!
FOUR-TIME FARGO CHAMP 👑

The high school sensation continues his upward trajectory with another accolade added to the top recruit in the Class of 2027! @HokiesWrestling gotta be JUMPING #Hokies #GobbleGobble 🦃

[Joe Girgente @Captain_Lil_Joe]

When a fighter comes out of retirement, they have nothing to gain and everything to lose. And it's usually the latter that happens. Glad McGregor lost. He's an arrogant prick, a bad role model, and a bad person.

[Joe Girgente @Captain_Lil_Joe]

So glad Zain Retherford lost. Hope he learns some offense before worlds.

[USA Wrestling @USAWrestling]

Yep, you guessed it! 🥇
