First question in the mailbag! I wonder if we could see some of the smaller schools drop to D2. Thanks @GoGreenWrestle @InterMat

[InterMat @InterMat]

In this week's mailbag, @GoGreenWrestle talks about a major coaching influence from his youth (a familiar name), the Pitt gift, small schools place in DI wrestling and much more:

@InterMat What is the future for the smaller D1 wrestling programs? Clearly won’t be able to compete with schools that are getting millions from donors and throwing bags at wrestlers. What does 3 million do for a school like Pitt?

@JomboyMedia @TalkinBaseball_ Before they said it on broadcast I was thinking how bout we tell blue not to glare into the dugout when making a call.

I kept this story in my pocket for a long time....

In Pittsburgh, September 15th is Roberto Clemente Day.

Every year the whole organization fans out across the city. It's like Christmas. Roberto's family is there, Vera and the boys.

My first year as manager was 2011. We celebrated. We shook hands and moved on.
We didn't win.

19 consecutive losing seasons.

2012 rolls around. Same day, same celebration. We had another losing season, our 20th consecutive.

After the ceremony, Roberto Jr. walked over.

"My mom wants to talk to you."

We went into the dugout. Me, Vera, and her three sons.

She spoke in Spanish. I played four years of winter ball so I understood enough. She wasn't angry, but she was passionate. And I kept hearing Roberto's number come up.

Roberto Jr. translated.

"My mother wants you to know that there cannot be a 21st losing season. That was Roberto's number. It would be a disgrace to his legacy."

She was staring right at me.

Before I could even think about what to say, words came out of my mouth:
"I promise you, Vera. That won't happen."

Roberto Jr. looked at me and said, "You made my mom a promise. I hope you can keep it."

I said, "I hope I can keep it too."

I didn't tell my coaches. I didn't tell the players. I told my wife. That was it.

The next year, 2013, we broke the consecutive seasons losing streak. Ended it at 20.

On Roberto Clemente Day that September, Vera came walking across that field.

And I probably got one of the most meaningful hugs I've ever received in my life.

The players did all the heavy lifting. I just got the hug.

Some promises are worth making before you know if you can keep them.
