I'll testify that wrestling a dual at VMI is one of the most entertaining wrestling experiences of my life. Those guys threw cooked carrots at us!

Wouldn't it be fun to get to wrestle before one of the nation's biggest and most vocal college wrestling fan-bases? VMI regularly has more wrestling fans show up than most other college wrestling programs, as this fanbase national rankings documents:

It's so loud in their wrestling auditorium that they call it the Thunderdome:

I didn't go there but I have heard that VMI alumni loyalty is reportedly a leader, nationally. Graduates know that fellow graduates know how to do more with less, and that they did more than party during their formative years... ROTC scholarships abound @ VMI, and they give wrestling scholarships too. For more info:
