2023 schedule
- Thread starter turfpoke
- Start date
First time since 1999 you guys will be attending Cliff Keen, apparently.
Bucknell in Stillwater for an early season dual 11/11, Cowboys @ Misery on 2/4. And Iowa state coming to Oklahoma the weekend of 1/26.
Lets see if it actually happens... Ive been burnt in the past with arranging a trip to a tournament the Pokes were suppose to be in and they decided not to show..
Chris Perry mentioned going to a "las vegas tournmaent" the other day on the Wrestling Is My Life Podcast
They have just had tournaments on the schedule before and either not gone at all or sent non starters... If I am going to travel across the country to see the Cowboys mix it up with some other top teams, thats what I want to see... Imagine the disappointment of going to the scuffle to see the starters in the same bracket as the Penn State starters and find out when you get there that we didnt send starters, only a few backups..
Don’t you know that not wrestling is the best way to preserve your ranking?
For your sanity and money I suggest just sticking with the NCAA’s as your tournament of choice. More and more guys are MF and no shows for mid season tournaments.
It would be nice if they didn’t drag there heels for so long getting the schedule out.
Looking at the CK list of teams it's going to be an amazing tournament, hopefully they continue going
Ohio State, michigan, North Carolina, Cornell, Arizona State, Nebraska, NC State, Virginia Tech, Purdue, Northwestern, Northern Iowa.........this is gonna be phenomenal if everyone brings their A team

Here's what I see so far:
11-Nov Bucknell
1-Dec CKLV
10-Dec At OU
19-Dec At Wyoming
19-Dec At N. Co.
30-Dec NC State in Sicily
12-Jan At Pitt
14-Jan At WVU
21-Jan Oregon State
28-Jan ISU
4-Feb At Missouri
10-Feb SDSU
18-Feb OU
At Minnesota and hosting Iowa dual will be on the schedule for early December and late January I would imagine.
UNI also hasn't released its schedule, but they should also be on the schedule.

Just glad there isn’t another bout at the ball park vs Iowa where we give up a home dual.
So far Im not a fan of wrestling in baseball or football stadiums... It doesnt seem like they have figured out how to do seating, you essentially go to watch the big screen..
Does anyone know if/how I would be able to get tickets to the Italy dual. Last time wasn’t it at a military base?
Related because this is part of our 2023 schedule for some of our individuals is 23 and under Worlds where Plott lost to Japan 2 to 2 and then Japan lost the next round and so Plott was eliminated. Plott gave up a takedown in a whizzer situation. He had a leg several times but the Japan wrestler kicked out both times. Alveraz lost 12 to 7 to Brock Hardy but had the lead in the second period but gave up 2, 4 point moves and lost. He looked good sized at 65 kg ( 143.3 lbs). It seems like it has been a while since we have had good news ( like a big name commitment).
Trackwrestling shows 21 registered for this weekend's Bob Smith open. No names released yet.
Flo indicates around 187 of the 330 ranked wrestlers ( over half) will be at the Vegas Tournament. We will really have a better view of our wrestlers and where they stand nation wide in their weight classes. A great opportunity for us to jump in the rankings. I can't wait to watch on Flo. I think these wrestlers could make the biggest, most important jumps (Thompson, Spratley, Jamison, and Williams). We will also get a chance to see if our 3 All Americans can compete or beat the best. Also this weekend we will be able to see how our younger wrestlers do at the Hays Kansas Tournament as Wrassler 17 indicates 21 Cowboys will be there.

Seeds are out and Vito isn't there. Spratley is seeded 10th at 125, Daton is seeded 1st at 133, Jamison is seeded 11th at 141, Williams is seeded 10th at 149, 157 is not seeded in the top 17, Olejnik is seeded 3rd at 165, 174 is not seeded, Dustin is seeded 4th, Surber is seeded 4th at 197 and Doucette is seeded 8th at HWT. Projected team points puts us in 6th place with Nebraska winning.
Bob Smith open registrants drops from 21 to 14, plus Alvarez (141) unattached.
Hughes also at 141.
No Travis (thought he might be at 157) or Robb.
Simpson is wrestling which is good news with Doucet & Carroll dinged up.
Ishmael Guerrero is unattached at 157.

Not seeing any brackets or bout board on Flo lol I guess I cross reference track if wanting to watch?! Guess it’s just football for me
Lot of guys that need to continue to develop and help improve depth
I think Hughes at 141 is smart in that he does not need to focus on weight much and he can just focus on getting better as a wrestler. Plus the way Coach Smith talked about this year's recruits Sakamoto may take 133.
OSU still has too many gaps & logjams.
Lots of potential quality options at certain weights and huge holes and lack of depth at others.
It seems like there are some guys that could be quality 174’s, but they need time to develop. No plug and play option like the one they have at 165.
