Is Iowa's schedule a joke?

Five duals and the B1G and NCAA tournaments?

[poorwrestler]

I think it’s just not fully updated yet

That looks like a partial Big 10 schedule.  The social media director must have had to leave early or something.  

You really thought this was their whole schedule?

This is what they released yesterday on Twitter for the B1G schedule alone...

I was hoping to see them against the Buckeyes, but I guess not...

I count 8 B1G duals.

they're on Oklahoma State's schedule as usual, late February, which is also not listed in the current Iowa schedule.

I did not, but to post a partial schedule is, well, stupid.

So, you didn't think it was actually their full schedule but started a thread anyway? 

I'm not happy that NC State hasn't posted ANYTHING yet, but I don't see a reason to start a thread on it.

Spencer Lee is now in charge of scheduling?

Did you notice the title of this thread?

[headshuck]

They are working around a full schedule of court appearances.

I certainly did.  You knew it wasn't their full schedule, but then had to ask if it were a joke.  Enough negativity in this world, C'mon man.

I didn't know that, or I wouldn't have asked.  Sometimes you have to accept what people say they mean, rather than assume whatever you want.  With all the nonsense going on within their program, anything could be possible.  Maybe they didn't want to wrestle the first semester with all those suspended guys missing.  Maybe, like UNI, they lost their wrestling facility and have to scramble to find another place (that's a joke, by the way).  I don't follow Iowa wrestling after I was booted from the cesspool for (AFAIK) questioning Spencer Lee's godliness.

The suspended guys won't make a huge difference, except probably at heavy.  Other than (supposedly) one of them, they won't be coming back second semester anyway.

I acknowledge your jest, but Iowa is building a new facility anyway, which may not have been able to happen without Rob Koll.  (Just ask him!) 

How dare you question Spencer's godliness.  What was the result last time he and Vito tangled?

Yeah, figured it'd be obvious/ideal those 2 schools wrestle each year. 

[bnwtwg]

Expect little activity from the big boys prior to conference duals this year. There will be an increased focus on 1) get through finals 2) senior nats. 

Enjoy the holidays and expect some headscratching January results from marquee wrestlers while shaking off the folkstyle rust.

No Wartburg duals to open the season with some wins?

Check the Iowa City West schedule.

They are posting the matches they will actually wrestle.

All the others they will "Pull a Spencer" and not show up. So, why put them on the schedule?

It's actually usually Iowa community college teams. 

I can never figure out how they are always shutouts.

[TitleIX is ripe for reform]

Wouldn't you prefer a partial schedule to a completely absent one?   The Hawkeye women still haven't posted anything for this, their inaugural season:

I'm not knocking the absence, just offering it as a comparison.

They might add the MGM Duals or the Golden Nugget Open.

I'm disappointed Iowa won't wrestle Mizzou.  Seems as if this would be a logical dual for both schools.  That being said, Penn State doesn't seem to be in a big hurry to wrestle Mizzou either. 

I know Brain Smith would love to add either team to his schedule.

He's a very smart guy!

(this feels like a Gimp joke!)
