Can we please find another team to wrestle this weekend!! my god! Anybody, please anybody!!!!
Please!
Our football team played more than any other Big Ten teams, I think our wrestling team has competed less!
I am pretty sure Michigan just extended there pause in play last Friday.
At this rate, the NCAA tourney will consist of a Twister tournament via Twitch
I knew this was coming as soon as Young tested positive. That left only one more positive test until this would happen.
Crap - but now Howard can get in some matches without getting his arm ripped off.
It will interesting to see if the Hawkeyes come back from a long break as flat as we did. There is no substitute for live fire matches against unfamiliar competition.

This will end up being an asterisk year if it happens at all. With the 17 day wait and the 7.5% team lockdown. A number of kids and maybe some whole teams will get knocked out for either of the two tourneys Let's just cross fingers it is noone in contention for either team or individual honors.
Last week D3 canceled all winter championships. So "there will be championships" is actually encouraging.
NCAA Division III winter sports championships canceled
Low participation rates due to COVID-19 wipes out national championships in sports such as basketball, hockey and wrestling.
Without looking...... how about Lehigh ? As the man said, ANYONE ?
I dont see how only ONE guy can test positive, my prediction is more positive tests in IC
Obviously this is really a duck of Robbie Howard, who was about to enter the game and wreck Spencer Lee's perfect season.
Joking aside, seeing Iowa take the mat yesterday drove home the fact that I clearly don't understand how contact tracing works given Tom Brands' positive C-19 test last week.
Looks like Rutgers is free this weekend. Would it make too much sense to wrestle them?
I say lock the boys up in Lorenzo, cancel all remaining matches, go into B10’s and see what happens. With our depth, our room is all the practice we need.

Wwwwwaaaaahhhhh! COVID must have cradled ‘em up again. But seriously, this sucks all around.

Perhaps they didn't like the idea of wrestling without multiple starters and pulled the ultimate duck of pausing the entire program.
Be prepared for ZOOM championships… but really, is Iowa and others just prepping for the tournaments by getting sick now and getting "herd immunity" while PSU will be stricken during the tournament? Rutgers, Michigan St., Michigan, Iowa, soon to be Ohio State.... cancelling. B1G's in three weeks
Rutgers had to cancel this past weekend bc of Covid issues in their program, so not sure if they are able to go this weekend.
I'd be surprised if we got another dual in this season. A year ago I never would have imagined we'd be in basically the same place today after cancelling the NCAA tournament in regards to wrestling and basically the rest of our lives as well. What a wild, wild year it has been.
I think that approach should have been implemented months ago. Lets learn to live with it instead of in fear of it. Protect the vulnerable and lets move on. Just my approach and I know not everyone shares it, but the Gov. of Iowa seems to.
Iowa folks.. has there been any updates from HR on how Brands is coming along? Some people kick this quickly and hoping this is just a minor inconvenience for him.
I don't think so. If you test positive you are out for at least 17 days. Young is likely done until the conference championships. Not sure if there is a minimum length a team stays on pause. When PSU went on pause it seems that Cael either said or alluded to that they could have gone the following weekend but it was MSU that cancelled on them.
does anyone have a link to the conference rules for this post season? I have heard a lot of rumor's concerning the 4 match rule as well as at large bids...
So if Howard does not get 4 matches he can not compete?
The word has it that G.Kerkfliet will be released by Big10--with no matches can he compete?

I think the whole thing reeks of a DeSanto plot to avoid RBY.Obviously this is really a duck of Robbie Howard, who was about to enter the game and wreck Spencer Lee's perfect season.

As I understand it anyone can compete at the conference tourney. If they win one of the allocated spots they are in.
The 4 matches addresses a wrestler who cannot compete in the conference tourney. If they have wrestled 4 matches they can still be considered for an at-large bid.
Don't take this as fact though ... just my best guess.
