Dual streak at 71 (updated Feb 21 2025)

[Chickenman Testa]

Only 6 to go to tie the Cowboys streak of 76 set between 1937-51.

Of course, back then teams were worn out just trying to even get through Indian Country to Stillwater, so they were gassed before even getting on the mats.

The typical road trip to Stilly back then:

 

[bourbon n blues]

Should be 71 soon then they need six next year.🤞

 

[nittinsc]

That's back when it was a long train ride to Stillwater.

 

[Nitlion1986]

That's back when it was a long train ride to Stillwater.

Couldn't they just ride a tornado back then too?

Oky St alumni will want DT to get an early season match with PSU to try too break the streak. I don't see the PSU train derailing for a while!

 

[ccdiver]

Gonna bring a whole new level of urgency to the “when-does-the-schedule-come-out” posts next season.

Oh well. Don’t see that happening.

 

[Nitlion1986]

Not anytime soon.

Believe part of the streak was when Okie State was still "Oklahoma A&M"....

 

[Roar More]

Is it late October already?

 

[RandyL]

Thats like 5-6 duals a year back then.

A lot of 125 pounders didn't make it through dysentery.

 

[jmadden1998]

Wait…duals matter? Or just not a dual tournament. Relax. I’m kidding. Kind of.

 

[nerfstate]

Duals always matter.

 

[7brwnpsu]

Next year all matches should be scheduled at home!

 

[PSU_Lion_Fan]

Next year, OSU should be the 7th scheduled match and be at home.

I think that there was no season for 3 or 4 years during WWII

 

[hlstone]

Next year all matches should be scheduled at home!

As long as you are slinging t-shirts.

 

[diggerpup]

Should be 71 soon then they need six next year.🤞

If PSU staff mimics next year's schedule similar to the most recent years, potential #77 will either occur during Journeyman Duals or early/mid January in early Big Ten action.

Hoping the AD can pull a few strings and schedules potential #77 as a home meet.

 

[Kale_yeah]

Vs iowa

 

[PSUoh90]

I think the streak ends Friday night when the Eagles come to town.

 

[tullfan68]

Thats like 5-6 duals a year back then.

yea not many at all well we won't ever catch them in unbeaten yrs! WELL MAYBE

 

[tullfan68]

Who WAS Oklahoma State wrestling back then anyway?

 

[Conewago]

That's back when it was a long train ride to Stillwater.

In fairness, getting to Stillwater back then was probably easier than getting to State College.

If memory serves me right, well, let's say you're coming from Philly. I think it would be, take the Pennsylvania Railroad's old Northern Central route to Williamsport , then the Bald Eagle line to near bellefonte, after that I'm not sure. Lol Bob Knight wasn't too far off when he said Penn State was a "GD camping trip."

Edit: looks like there was a branch line to Lemont. I assume that had some passenger service but probably nothing special

 

[poorwrestler]

Cool dual streak, dorks.

Unrelated question, when is Roar going to do his big ten seeding projections? Can someone get him on the phone? I look forward to them every year.

 

[tullfan68]

Oklahoma 6 times!

 

[Cstroke]

He said he isn't going to let you see them this year for calling his BFF's dorks..
He's loyal.

Soldier Salute.

That would be a level of petty that I could respect.

He's down in the room working on them now.

Shoot. When did Roar suffer an injury?

Just for clarification purposes:

Jason Bryant writes:
"I've since written (multiple times, I believe) what the record is in NWCA poll releases. The "Division I" record is 76 (broken in 1951).

The NCAA record is 77 (St. Cloud State, broken in 2022 one match after they set a new record).

Since Oklahoma State's 76 was in an era prior to Divisions, I call that "major college" since it's a current Division I institution in an era that pre-dated even the college division.

The modern era record would be 70.

The all-time "D1" record is 76.

The NCAA record is 77.

Here's the working list (since that article was written in the midst of Grand View's win streak)

How about streaks in all collegiate sports. Let's see how we compare.

There'll be no need for clarification in a few years when our streak goes into triple digits 😎

UCLA had a long run in basketball

 

[impalanut]

the longest win streak in college sports is the Trinity College squash team. 252 consecutive victories, Ended in 2012. They also had 13 consecutive national titles, and their coach (who I knew in high school as a student) is one of the winningest coach in college 507w-29l

Just imagine if Tom Ryan’s tOSU team had to travel like that to get to PSU…Steiber would have lost to Zain by TF…even with Average officials!
