Next Year's Schedule
- Thread starter John Beach
- Start date
I assume that Oklahoma coming to PSU this year equals a return trip there next year, but we'll see. Wyoming is off the schedule now with that home-and-home complete, opening up a new possible series arrangement with a team out west. Utah Valley would be fun, probably, as would Stanford.
If given a choice, though, a home-and-home with Virginia Tech would be fun.
Ha, late September or early October, if tradition holds, which I have no reason to think it wonāt.
Always wanted to see PSU do a weekend road trip to RDU to face NC State and one of UNC or Duke.
Weāre going to have to face the reigning Big Ten Coach of the Yearās team on the road next season, so we already know the 2026-27 schedule is going to be a tough one.
California road trip -- some combo of Cal Poly + Stanford or Bakersfield.
FULL COURT PRESS ON SAMMY SANCHEZ !!!!

Make it a good destination as I will likely be attending whatever out of conference away match we have scheduled..
I donāt know if the logistics could work, but if weāre in Norman and OSU is off the table, how about Little Rock?
I am guessing we will see a lot of VT, Okie State and Stanford mentioned (which are all very intriguing) but I will throw in Mizzu. I would be very interested in a NC trip.
THIS!!!!! And if it happens, you're all invited for cocktails at my place in Big Lex!!!!
(Note that this could easily be worked up to a weekend, either with a slightly more northern patsy (VMI, UVA), to another slightly more southern opponent (UNC, NCSt, App State, Campbell).)
One of the hardest things for Cael is filling his schedule. Teams dont want to wrestle Penn st. Filling the home non conference schedule isnt easy and with the home and home situations it's a bi*ch
someone pony up some cash and bring an event to Florida - I don't want to travel to cold weather places
I just hope we're heading back to Nashville
I like when larger programs "grow the sport" by wrestling at smaller programs so I'ld love to see Penn State at The Citadel or Presbyterian or Gardner-Webb. Make having season tickets a requirement to get Penn State tickets and those schools all sell out their season tickets in an hour.
Can they round up that many attorneys on short notice?
when do we have to start defending the schedule? How soon will accusations of padding the schedule and skipping the national duals event - (cause of the elite OK state presence with their killer soph's) - to keep the win streak alive come out?
A dual between us and the highest ranked non PSU guy in the nation at each weight. A prelude to nationals. Or us vs. the Japanese national team, the Russian national team and the Iranian national team. Yeah I know they don't wrestle folkstyle but still it's about trying to find competition and right now there isn't a team in the U.S. that can challenge us.
The issue is most programs like that are overmatched big time and losing all 10 matches in a dual is a bad look no matter who the opponent is. Also the risk of injury goes up when you're so overmatched
That's already happened some . But people don't understand the difficulties of making the schedule
Never.
Defending the schedule is a fool's errand. It will never be tough enough for the critics. Or for the fans who aren't satisfied with merely dominating the national championship.
I would like to see a west coast trip where we either wrestle USC and UCLA, or Wahington and Oregon.
Just wishing.
In a more real wish, either VATech or Okie St.

VaTech would be great next year. Also thinking about Penn and Columbia and South Dakota. Northern Iowa seems like it would be an energized crowd.
I keep wishing Iowa state and northern Iowa. I donāt ever see that happening 
You don't get to just make up things like the injury thing. The only wrestler who had a serious injury and missed time after wrestling Penn State was Angelo Ferrari. Are you saying that he was overmatched?
A wrestler is much less likely to be injured in a 2 min TF than an OT match.
A SoCon school would take losing 10-0 to Penn State at home if it meant selling out their season tickets.
A west coast trip with Utah Valley and Stanford would be awesome. Stanford is going to be very good next year
It's my opinion I never said it was a fact therefore it's not made up. Have you ever talked to anyone on Penn st staff about scheduling? Because I have and understand the struggles they have
You pull something out of your *** that is demonstrably wrong then try brag that you have all these contacts. Maybe they can coach you up to not be so incorrect all the time. You do need help on that.
And, No, I don't talk to Penn State's staff as I'm not a Penn State fan.
Not bragging at all. If I actually cared about that sh*t I would be on social media saying it. I'm on a forum with the same 50 people.
It's an opinion sorry you can't follow along get a reading comprehension coach
Cael talks to all of us casuals about scheduling. He gives us randos a lot of credit for the 86 dual win streak.
