InterMat Wrestling - Virginia Tech's Dong to miss rest of season

BLACKSBURG -- Virginia Tech senior wrestler Jesse Dong will undergo shoulder surgery later this month and will miss the remainder of the 2011-12 season, as announced Tuesday by head wrestling coach Kevin Dresser. The 157-pounder is a two-time ACC Champion and three-time NCAA qualifier who is currently 7-0 and ranked No. 5 in the country at his weight class.

Because Dong has not wrestled in more than 30 percent of this year's season, he will be eligible to apply for a medical hardship waiver at the conclusion of the season. The Westerville, Ohio, native has not redshirted, so provided the medical hardship waiver is granted, he will be eligible to return next year for a fifth season. He owns an 86-18 record overall, including a 52-6 mark in dual matches.

In his absence, either Cameron Hurd or Matt Stephens will take over for the Hokies.

Just by reading the title of this thread I thought to myself, "He is going to have a cold dong by the end of wrestling season."

Wang is out, too. Lookin' for some mashed taters.

Any relation to Long Duck?

Let's all cross our fingers that the next article Pin puts up is called something like, "Doctors say surgery on Dong went well. Should come back bigger and stronger next season."

Headline:

"Dong-less Hokies pound NC State"

[goiahawks]

Hey Pin, have you (or anyone else) heard anything new about Long? What's he up to?

[Section136]

Maybe the University will promote a "Dongout" game for football next year instead of be bold wear gold. Bring your own taters.

[MNHawkeyeFreak]

Is Dong out for the season similar to Wang Chung tonight?

[theboat]

Its a shame all these comedic masterminds waste their A+ material on message boards, you guys should be making Millions, writing puns that eighth graders find immature.

This definately helps St. John out, still has to beat Dake, but one less hurdle to clear in St. Louis.

You mean St. John now gets to avoid beating up on the Dong?
