Penn State wrestling announces 2022-2023 schedule: Who do the Lions face, and when are the BJC matches?
- Thread starter GregPickel
- Start date
As a season ticket holder of both wrestling and hockey, couldn't they have figured out something better for Michigan BJC dual? Same time (7pm) as hockey against Notre Dame.
Time are subject to change due to television. So, I wouldn't say that's locked in yet, but you're right, that's both a bummer and going to be a traffic and parking nightmare.
Notable...WOW 2 meets in the BJC!!! Also, Iowa finally travels to Happy Valley! I hope they take their @SS kicking like men!!
Non B1G home matches:
1. Lock Haven
2. Oregon State
3. Clarion
Non B1G away matches:
1. Rider
2. Lehigh
Opens/Tournaments/Etc.:
1. Black Knight Open (Army)
2. Collegiate Wrestling Duals
Some random thoughts:
- of the non-B1G opponents, only 1 (Oregon St.) is from outside of PA or the PA area
- it's nice for the PSU wrestlers that the Collegiate Wrestling Duals take place after the fall 2022 semester finals are over
- two B1G duals in the BJC, against the best two B1G visiting opponents, is quite nice, though putting them on Friday evening during HS wrestling season could be a challenge for ticket sales
- Oregon St. is an intriguing OOC opponent
- it is nice to see CS and crew supporting the PA teams (and Rider -- right over the border) with matches
- with Michigan and Iowa duals at the BJC, the best Rec Hall dual is probably Oregon St. (written without checking their roster. 184 and 125 seem to be the only weights where Oregon St. has top wrestlers)
- the schedule has a nice pace to it -- not a lot of Friday/Sunday duals (3), and spread out over the season, which is nice for a team with young wrestlers at several positions
- it would be nice to see one additional elite OOC opponent on the schedule
- not that it seems to bother the team too much, but the schedule doesn't tax the team with a lot of traveling. They have an @Ohio State/@Indiana Fri./Sun. weekend, and a @Rutgers/home against Maryland on a Fri./Sun weekend. Beyond that, their trips are 1) to Army in Dec., 2) a Fri./Sun. weekend where they are @Rider/@Lehigh, 3) the Collegiate Wrestling Duals in New Orleans when they are on winter break, 4) a Friday trip to Wisconsin at the end of winter break where they don't have a dual on that Sun., 5) a Friday trip to Rutgersin February
- 4 B1G home matches and 4 B1G away matches
All-in-all, a very nice schedule.

Not yet. Unfortunately no info on that was included in yesterday's release.
I called NLC this AM and they couldn’t give me a date but said an email would go out to season ticket and NLC members in late October. I asked the same question about basketball in the Palestra and similarly there wasn’t an exact date but an email would go out in November.

I think what is going to make this year incrementally interesting and exciting is the new redshirt rules allowing redshirts to compete in as many as 5 duals. I’m anxious to hear predictions early and throughout the season. I haven’t studied up yet, but this could be impactful for Ohio State at BJC (Bouzakis, Feldman, Mendez). If I were a betting man, I’d say Levi will take advantage of this rule this year, and when he kicks a$$, Cael will pull the shirt. And in the unlikely chance that he’s human, he’ll keep the redshirt. Should create a lot of interesting discussion and speculation before big duals.
I think we are wrestling tOSU in Columbus this season. Michigan and Iowa are BJC matches. Your larger point is good though, and I wasn’t aware about the 5 match redshirt rule. Thanks.
