TnT are just low tech guys. Leaving a scrap of paper, with the schedule on it, on a wrestling room table is way more their speed.
25/26 Schedule Updates
- Thread starter The-Dude-Abides
- Start date
Benefits of selling out every year and not needing to promote a schedule to fill seats.
The downside is having only 6 meets in CHA. The upside is we are wrestling more highly ranked teams early. Hopefully, it helps us in March.
Worst home schedule since pre-covid. Only 6 home duals, and one of them is on a Thursday. So that means 5 home duals for me.
Just published my preview for the 2025-26 slate - incl. what we know so far regarding times/TV/streaming/etc., plus a thought or two about each of the 17 dates:

Cant wait to see this season start. Been a terrible summer with Bassetts decommit and Spencers loss at worlds. I needed a little getting myself right and found it on YouTube. Check out last year Buchannan against Nebraska and Angelo against Plott, guaranteed to pick ya up.
Be of good cheer, our team is better this year. Look at all the guys that joined this fall.
And still no tough tourneys like rest of country.
No scuffle, no midlands and no vegas! They shoupd be at vegas! Oh but bellimine is on!
Could be:
25- better
33- same
41- worse
49- same
57- worse
65- same
74- same
84- better
97- worse
Hwt- same
Can't wait to see this year's team in action. Lots of great matchups for many of our guys even before big ten season.
According to someone on here, plan is for some to wrestle at Midlands. Nothing like that would be on the schedule at least not yet.
Nasir Bailey is really good guys. Also I don’t think it’s possible for us to be worse at 141 than we were at the end of last year.
Made mistake here, thought Parco was 41 so yes we are better at 41.
Teemer definitely better than Williams by far to begin last season.
I would agree with 157 being worse if Teemer would have had a full healthy year, but our 157 most of the season was a 149 true freshman, who is short for 149. I would like to see what he can do at 149 this year, but doubt he will do as well as Parco.
I’m excited to see what Williams will do up a weight. Could possibly solve some of his gas tank issues. Being in a better room and if the gas tank issues are resolved, I think his results this season will surprise some people, for the better.
Teemer was a stud, but as soon as he tweaked his hamstring he was a shell of himself the rest of the year. Sure would be nice to get the lineup to NCAAs healthy for once. Was pretty rough watching Parco and Teemer go out that way last year.
I think not cutting as much and training with us will get his lungs fixed up. Williams is very talented with a large skill set, he just needs the proper training imo. I think he is on a mission to right the ship, end of the day he may be exactly where he needs to be!
Having the benefit of hindsight, injuries last year, we are better at 149 and 157. Was horrible both got hurt in action.
Nasir is going to be really good guys. Going to finish top 4 with an outside chance at the finalists. He was cutting a ton at 133.
"...like the rest of the country."
You mean other than PSU, Ohio State, Nebraska, Minnesota, North Carolina State, or UNI? Including Iowa, 7 of the 10 top teams at last year's NCAA tournament ARE NOT attending any of the events you mentioned.
Seriously...that was a clueless at best comment.
And you don't think National Duals is tough? (PSU isn't going to that, either.)
Also, claiming the Midlands is a "tough tourney" is hilarious.

I have been very bullish on him this offseason. Drilling with Caliendo certainly won’t hurt anything for him. He has some potential big matchups come national duals, depending on how things shake out, and I hope we get to see him in a couple big matches there, be able to see where he’s at early.
Looks like my prediction of someone making this comment was correct.
Just sooner than I anticipated. lol
Does anyone have a tougher schedule than the Hawks? Would have to be a Big Ten team due to the Duals & Tourney. Add ISU and OSU plus the Soldier Salute alone and that's formative.
I await Anon's intelligent response.
He's going to have to explain to us how he defines "rest of country" first. Because it doesn't include most of the top teams.
And than throw in every team getting up for the Iowa dual to put it over the top. I guessing a majority of our away duals are the top attendance for the opposing teams as well.
uuuuuh, was looking for a team that you claim has a tougher schedule than the Hawks.
Wrong guy look at the last digits on the Anon, you are looking for 76.
Appreciate what you do for the Hawks.
Too many Anon's on this board. Need to send you all to 'the bridge' to determine who gets to keep their name, rest of you must change.
Not sure if it is tougher but pretty good schedule for Okies. They have Stanford, Nebby and Iowa. Va tech, ISU, UNI Missouri in conference. Southern Scuffle, National duals and a few decent lower tier meets with Little Rock and Air Force.
We could probably use @Wrestleknownothing to throw something together based on rankings.
The Iowa Women open their season next Saturday at Luther Hill (Simpson) Invite. The live stream will be on IAwrestle.

Wonder who all is going. The Iowa duals are next day in Carver. Busy weekend for them.
