You saw it here first: Masanosuke Ono, Clarion Open Champion.

It is no Soldier Salute...err I mean the new Midlands.

It is no Soldier Salute...err I mean the new Midlands.

I don't know. The Soldier Salute has some quality in it. I think it compares in an OK manner to the Clarion Open.

 

[manatree]

No F&M.

No Morgan St.

Agree with that.

You can add Bucknell to the list of teams that Penn State will not face during its non-conference schedule.

That schedule only lists five dates, all at home. I do see they are having a quad with Morgan St, Virginia, and Hofstra. I wish more schools scheduled quads as they are a great fan experience.

Ah shoot, you’re right, I should have noted that. And agree on the quads.

Agreed, definitely comparable. It was more of a jab at Iowa highlighting "soldier salute champ" for their guys. Everyone put me on ignore over there....it is not fun anymore.

I am all in favor of jabbing, slapping or smacking Iowa at any and every chance.

Chattanooga is not on the Penn State dual meet schedule, but the Scuffle is set for Jan. 3-4:

That late date (not 1/1-2) pretty much locks the starters out of the Scuffle, since it'll be closer to B10 duals.

Backups + shirts could still go.

We’re not on Va Tech dual season but maybe we’ll see them at So Scuffle.

I know, stating the obvious, but backups + shirts could win it. The team will be at its deepest ever this season.

Good find. Thanks!

Tgar can confirm the Friday of Hockey Valley Weekend vs Michigan State there will be a BJC match. This would be January30th for those planning to attend.

That is all and carry on.

B.Y.O.Turtleneck.

It was from the curling iron.

It was from the curling iron.

That hasn’t been a plausible excuse for me in many years.

He is a monster, am I reading that right that PJ Duke is taking on the entire VT team in late February to get ready for the Big10s?

Make your reservations early. It is going to be crowded.

Teenage Raging Hormone Weekend not quite as catchy a name.

Circling back on this, Bucknell has now added its away dates, too, and those do not include a dual at Penn State:

This just in. Every D1 non-Big10 NCAA program has released it's 2025/6 wrestling schedule, and none include PSU.

Update.

The Sr. national teams from Russia, Iran, & Japan have all been added to PSU's upcoming season schedule.

How can you make this announcement without including which are home matches and will they be at Rec Hall or Bryce Jordan!

Son of Kauffman-Brand Open, freshman-sophomore division

I spent a lot of time in that bar in my younger years. Wish I could remember some of them.

Friday Jan 16 is Iowa dual time TBD guess is 9pm ET

Guessing between 9PM and 1030PM Iowa's reality sets in, HR melts down and I savor one of my favorite annual occurances.
Looking forward to who announces on Jan 17th they will be attending Iowa for 5 million dollars, and the inevitable withdrawal announcement.
