Not smart - you're giving the Cowboys more room to back up and play the edge.Iowa will host Ok St at Kinnick Stadium.
Well done.Not smart - you're giving the Cowboys more room to back up and play the edge.
That would be fun to attend. Two things:Iowa will host Ok St at Kinnick Stadium.
Word is Iowa and Minny are working on a non-conference dual.
I'd love to see PSU vs. Iowa, but also can understand if Brands doesn't want multiple non-conference B10 opponents. I'll blame Delany.
So how does attendance match up between Iowa and PSU?Perhaps Iowa is seeking to reclaim the record for the largest crowd to attend a college wrestling match.
Not certain if you are trolling or not. Article below. Iowa leads year in/out on overall and average attendance. PSU has the #1 and #2 overall single session attendance (15,967 last year). Certainly this will get destroyed if the match is held in Kinnick on November 14, unless the weather turns to crap. It certainly would be a fun match to watch.So how does attendance match up between Iowa and PSU?

An annual attendance battle between a midwest powerhouse and newly established east cost powerhouse would probably be pretty great for growing the sport of wrestling!Do you think penn State will answer with an even bigger attendance in Happy Valley next year? This battle could go back and forth! Ultimately PSU would win on seating capacity.
Next year? Why not do it this year and take a bit of the air out of the Kinnick match. How about the week before?Do you think penn State will answer with an even bigger attendance in Happy Valley next year? This battle could go back and forth! Ultimately PSU would win on seating capacity.
My guess is that it's unlikely in the near future. Penn State has historically been unwilling to even consider non-football events at Beaver Stadium -- to protect the grass field. (IIRC, Kinnick Stadium is turf, right?)
With a new football coach, new AD, and new university president, maybe they'd consider it. But PSU is typically risk averse and slow to change.
I'm also not sure if Cael would embrace it. Spectacle-wise, absolutely. He might object to the injury risk of cold and/or wet weather (State College averages 185+ days of precipitation per year).
And then there's the matter of finding an opponent willing to wrestle in those conditions and also willing to cancel or reschedule on short notice for bad weather (last-minute move to Rec Hall would likely flop -- tickets would be a mess).
