Air Force is another school who can be crossed off the list of possible Penn State opponents:

Unless…of course….you wanted to host the match before the game. Might be a little chilly, maybe even snowy…..
Wyoming hasn’t won a conference title since the 90s when Joe Tiller was their coach. They’re not hosting a home playoff game anytime soon.

Crazy, Trainer Dan is a miracle worker but I'm sure he has not worked on that many cases of frostbite at one time.

On second thought, it would be like a dry cold plunge.

You saw it here first: Masanosuke Ono, Clarion Open Champion. 🏆
I hope he goes there and collects the helmet.



Also to the Edinboro Open for the sword. And any other tourney whose winner collects that type of award.

As for the Wyoming match, I’m not sure what time it’ll start on the east coast (there’s a two-hour time difference) but unless they’re the fastest arena turn around crew in history, I’d think 6pm ET would be the earliest with 8pm feeling more reasonable but, we’ll see.

You can cross Buffalo off the PSU dual possibilites list, but they will be at the Black Knight Invite:

I think you can safely cross Buffalo off any future Pen State schedule as long as the current coach is in place. His holding out ranked wrestlers against Penn State did not sit well.

Donnie Vinson? Who only just took over Buffalo in April, 2024?

When did he hold out ranked wrestlers vs PSU?

Thankful to anyone who can gently coach me up on this one; I'm a bit lost....

Pretty sure it was 2019. Last dual of the year, at Rec Hall. Buffalo sat several of their starters. Forfeited 141 and ran out backups at 157, 165, and HWT. Two of the backups (157 and HWT) were bumped up from lower weights. Buffalo actually had pretty good starters at all 4 weights -- 3 of the 4 starters were NQs in 2019, and the other was a 2x NQ in earlier years.

That was the infamous Todrank match -- he was a backup 149 facing Jason Nolf. No wonder he decided to have fun out there.

Anyway, Cael was not happy.

Buffalo's coach was Stutzman, now back at Bloomsburg.

“Nolf has had enough!”

Building Penn State's annual wrestling schedule is not so different than the whittling down of Bassett's collegiate recruiting list. Chinese water torture, drip, drip, drip...

Ha, it is somewhat similar to kicking a school off the list each week. Of course, we're doing that closer to daily, but the painful part of both remain!
