[Str8DBLz]

I'm assuming there will be tournaments add in?

 

[HOCKEYGOD11]

Nope. Think this is it in its entirety.

 

[nerfstate]

Glad the coaches can plan around the OTT “problem” but this isn’t the most exciting schedule....

Illinois is our best home dual at rec, no Suriano for Rutgers (not the coaches’ fault).

 

[The Japanese Whizzer]

No scuffle?

 

[psumacw]

no scuffle? no keystone?

 

[HOCKEYGOD11]

Nope.. it is as copied above.

 

[nerfstate]

It's like the whole team is taking the Kyle Snyder schedule. Almost like someone has a plan or something... Still, not super jazzed.

TaTo trolling already . . .

It will be exciting to murder Rutgers

 

[sunshinedynomite]

Sorry for asking where is a site for secondary tickets. I want to get America tickets for my sons birthday.

 

[SWPA]

No scuffle means there will be a wrestle off this year. Or it could mean the team is already set.

 

[PSU_Lion_Fan]

Airline tickets for the ASU match will be purchased this evening. Anyone else heading west?

 

[nitlion6]

I know there is always a good reason, but January 1 and 2 to January 10 seems like plenty of seperation so I am a bit bewildered as to why no Scuffle. Okie State and ISU have young teams and it is a missed opportunity to see those 2.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

FRL is saying there's a Freestyle tourney in Dallas? Modifying the schedule to allow for Freestyle stuff.

 

[Str8DBLz]

Casey hinted to this in his outlook posted last week

[pawrestlersintn]

When will the 2020-21 schedule be out?

First!!!

 

[Str8DBLz]

i would guess some where around 1 year from today... give or take 1 month

Senior Nationals, US Olympic Trial Qualifier is December 20th - 22nd in Ft Worth, TX.

I guess the coaches anticipate a fair number of Lions to be at that tournament.

One option for additional matches is for individuals to attend Opens.

 

[Truth_Talk]

It certainly looks as though there will be plenty of freestyle fodder for us to chew on during this upcoming season. It's going to be a unique year for sure.

 

[NoVa Lion]

What will we discuss between December 8th & January 10th

Did you read Lyons12 post? IMHO, there will be quite a lot to discuss.

could really change our line-up for January

if...

RBY qualifies
Berge qualifies
Aaron Brooks qualifies
Mason Manville qualifies
Mark Hall qualifies
Cassar qualifies

 

[1AA]

Interesting schedule. The coaches put a big emphasis on Olympic styles that's for sure. It seems they put the goals of the wrestlers very high. Gonna be a year like no other. Very excited!!!

Per FRL, no one on the current team is qualified for the trials

RBY qualifies

What would be the biggest change would be the weights RBY and Hall would go, if they decide to enter. Are they bulking up or cutting? Also, do not forget about Nick Lee and Beard as I can see both of them giving it a go. The weigh-ins for the Penn meet can be interesting.

Will you be arriving on a horse with no name?

 

[RoarLions1]

The coaches did what was best for the Penn State wrestling team, I really hope that is what fans see.

-- 8 duals at home, the most formidable opponent, by far, is tOSU, which will be held in the BJC
-- The weak home schedule overall is due to the Big Ten rotation, and the fact that two great duals are away (see next bullet), iow happenstance
-- Two of our best duals, on paper, are away (Lehigh and ASU). Lehigh away because it's their turn, and ASU away because it's a home-and-home contract, and this is their home dual
-- No Keystone, as that weekend conflicted with ASU
-- Army Invitational, as it's the weekend (Nov. 17), which was open
-- No Scuffle, as it's too close to Senior Nationals, and keeping the team fresh, and peaking for NCAA's was more important than attending this tournament

Keeping it positive, every chance I get to see the Nits is a plus, regardless of opponent. West Point is within travel distance for locals, so is Lehigh...as is the Big Ten Championship. Not bad, imo...

 

[Lyons212]

I would imagine that Verkleeren is a candidate as well.

would those eligible need to skip november/december duals in order to qualify for an olympic redshirt? or can you not qualify for an ORS after the season starts?

 

[El-Jefe]

From a participation standpoint, Olympic redshirt is same as regular redshirt -- you are shirting until you wrestle attached, then you are no longer shirting.

Kyle Snyder did not take an Olympic shirt in 2016, even though that was the plan at the start of the season.

 

[RoarLions1]

Wrestle in one match with a PSU singlet on, and there will be no redshirt, of any kind.

Oklahoma St: 74

... @ Iowa is the 9th dual on the schedule.

PSU could finish this year at 73.

Not at all. I think that will change often.

If my math is correct, if we run the table and win each dual, we'll end the season at 73 straight.

Sorry, didn't see this before my post.

 

[Lyons212]

If my math is correct, if we run the table and win each dual, we'll end the season at 73 straight.

If that occurs, PSU should schedule Oklahoma State for the 2nd dual in the 2020/2021 season.

Hear ya, though imo that's not the end of this time frame that is concerning to the coaches. Senior Nationals will be a brutal tournament, with guys that stay alive getting four, maybe five bouts. The Scuffle is also brutal, and is only nine days-of-rest later, with winners getting up to five bouts, and wrestlers getting more if bumped to wrestle-backs. Too close together.

 

[nerfstate]

I’m mostly bummed Mark won’t have a shot at being a 4x Scuffle champ, but that’s probably not #1 on his list.

The scuffle is great as a pivot to the B1G schedule, a good gauge for fans, coaches, and wrestlers. But we’ll all live, I suppose. Change is hard, but necessary for dynasties.
