Anyone know when it will be out? Iowa and Northern Iowa released theirs today. I was thinking it didn’t come out till September. Anyone know?

When did it come out last year? I feel like it definitely was released later than most.

Look for a thread titled:

I'm sure the author will post it there. ;)

Which school is that on the home schedule on the far right, some kind of cat? Missouri, WV, and Wyoming should be decent home matches.

Drexel? We couldn’t get VT, NC State or North Carolina? Wonder if that was the date he saved for Penn State and since they aren’t interested we got stuck with Drexel? Should have tried to schedule Lehigh. So Nebraska will be the big home dual along with NDI. Mizzou isn’t what they used to be. Tickets for that Nebraska dual are going to be hard to find if you don’t have season tickets.

Scheduling isn't easy . Also you can't wrestle top 20 teams in every dual. Drexel is at home so it wasn't a date he saved for Penn st

We’re two duals short. There are still dates.

from what I understand, we’re basing our scheduling off of looks and limiting matchups with teams that we may see at NDI. That’s some beta bs imo. We went from talking about anyone anytime and always wanting to compete against the best to cancelling VT’s return trip

It’s way too early for this kind of strategy and the fan support and donor support will undoubtedly take a hit. It’ll be small because it’s still an exciting time but the record breaking home duals and skyrocketing support from the bottom half will taper off

So Robie should be saying we will save a date for Oklahoma st every year 🤷🤣. Maybe they can make a Beta Boys page 🤣. Ok now it's time to be serious. Coaches HATE national duals for that exact reason because they don't like not knowing who they will dual. The anyone anytime anywhere statements are all BS from coaches . Coaches want to control everything and a tournament like that doesn't allow for it . Ask Pop how it is getting teams together for duals at his events. Everyone has a list of teams they won't wrestle because they already dual .

He mis-spoke. Dates wouldn't match up and we Wrestle them at NDI's anyway. Not sure what dates couldn't match up or how hard it was chased?

I do agree that this can impact fan support and possibly show a regression to the AD? But, scheduling is hard. We will still have uO and Iowa in the same year, so those schedule seasons will see a bolster of excitement.

If I were the scheduler, I don't know how I would get it done? I am sure there are several schools that don't want to Wrestle in GIA, which makes it even tougher to schedule.

You wrestle them at NDI? How is that a guarantee ? 🤷 Nice attempt at a clean up 🤣. So call out Penn st but not dual a top 5 team because you MIGHT dual them hmmm interesting

Haha, it's not an attempt at a clean-up. I should've said it's likely we see them at NDI and the later dates most likely didn't match up well for one or the other.

Don't be mistaken, I am not pleased with this schedule. I also don't blame anybody. Scheduling is difficult...I can barely get scrimmages for 2nd grade flag football scheduled.

Wrestling scheduling is a nightmare people don't realize it. And the best teams have a hard time getting teams to wrestle you at home . Most fans don't know that even in wrestling teams will pay others to come and wrestle them .

I understand the final teams for the Quad on 11/1 are still being worked out so who's to say a VA. Tech might still be in the works

I mean nothing’s guaranteed but I feel like OSU and VT are pretty clearly the two best teams in NDI

It's a quad? The word invitational was used that usually means it will be a bracketed individual tournament

We have Nebraska and Iowa on the schedule and tried to get Penn State, plus Ohio State or Virginia Tech at NDI and who knows who else.

Oklahoma State had the toughest dual schedule last year and we will have the toughest schedule this year.

The rub is that the home slate is pretty much booger. If they would've released the schedule prior to season ticket renewal, it wouldn't have sold out. I will bet that carries through to next renewal as well.

Again, I don't think this was intentional and could possibly be unavoidable...so it is what it is. If a guy makes a D1 roster, he's no chump.

Will you volunteer to kick DT in the shin for us ... or maybe at least JK if you are scared of DT? I hear you are fast so should be able to get away with it. :)

The toughest not sure about that but definitely one of the toughest. They had Iowa twice last year and Nebraska twice . So why not schedule VA tech even if you get them twice? The NDI is now cheating the fans out of another good home dual on the schedule

I guess you could listen to today’s FRL at the 18:00 mark you can hear some unbiased rankings on dual schedule. Even the almighty Corby would be surprised, just when we thought he knew everything.
I don't listen to many podcasts what was said? They will have a top 3 schedule this year for sure. But wrestling va tech maybe twice would make it even better 🤷
