PSU 2019/20 Wrestling Schedule Thread
- Thread starter GogglesPaizano
- Start date
E-J is close, as long as nothing changes in the Big Ten scheduling model, we know each team's schedule into infinity and beyond
. It's that I have it memorized and have anal total recall that makes me such an odd duck. Big Ten teams are split into pairs. Each pair make up the seven "rivalries" in the conference. They are;
-- Penn State / Ohio State
-- Maryland / Rutgers
-- Illinois / Northwestern
-- Iowa / Minnesota
-- Nebraska / Wisconsin
-- Michigan / Michigan State
-- Indiana / Purdue
You can see, for the most part, it was determined by geography.
These pairs are important in two ways;
(1) It sets the ONLY Big Ten team that is faced EVERY YEAR. For examples; Penn State vs Ohio State, Maryland vs Rutgers, etc. happen every year.
(2) It sets how other teams come onto a team's schedule, and how they rotate off the schedule. Each pair will always be, both home, both away or both off the schedule. Sooooo...for 2019-20, Penn State has;
-- Both Maryland and Rutgers at home
-- Both Illinois and Northwestern at home
-- Ohio State at home (Penn State's rivalry team)
-- Both Iowa and Minnesota away
-- Both Nebraska and Wisconsin away
Therefore, PSU will wrestle every team except Ohio State two years out of every three, and Ohio State every year. Fans can go back three years to see who we will wrestle. For this year, for example, look at 2016-17, but remember we wrestle Ohio State every year (home, away, home, away, home, away, etc.), so they will be flipped (was away in 2016-17, will be home in 2019-2020).
Mens bball has a home game against NW on that date so unlikely that dual will be in the BJC.
They could get two events in if timed correctly. The dual at Ohio State last year started at 8 or 9 pm IIRC.
just for a good laugh. this is what is listed on track as the upcoming schedule
I remember the first time we had a BJC dual it was a problem scheduling it because Penn State said it would take more than just one day to convert from bball to wrestling or vice versa.
JSYK, I laugh at ALL your posts.just for a good laugh. this is what is listed on track as the upcoming schedule
its good for the heart, mind and body to laugh once in a while so i'm glad i can help keep your ticker ticking
Tom, is that you?
Sorry, should have said Tom Ryan, is that you.
Sorry for the confusion!
Here are pieces of the puzzle that I have so far, even if Keystone and Scuffle aren't firm.

Since 1/24 is at Nebraska, will take a guess that 1/26 is at Iowa. Although there is women's basketball at Carver that day, I believe in the past they have done a double header with wrestling and hoops.
Assuming that at least one PSU wrestler qualifies for NCAAs ...
Tan tom hates to wrestle in REC HALL so lets throttle Ohio state there...LOL
good idea starting another thread ... we should start a new thread on the schedule at least twice a week until it is released
Seriously doubt we're going to Keystone AND facing Penn in a dual.
It happens... when one has the original poster on ignore. My bad.
FWIW - Arizona State sports release article a few days ago mentioned “Penn State visiting in November”...
Yeah, but they don’t do daylight savings time either, so the concept of November is tricky down there.
To add to the Arizona craziness, the Navajo Nation which takes up a large chunk of NE Arizona does recognize daylight savings time. And the Hopi Nation, an island area within the Navajo, does not recognize it. Just a little trivia from your BWI resident geography geek.
