New thread for those that dont want to sift through the other one
Dude…. Half that info is about other teams besides the Hawks. Don’t you realize this is an IOWA message board? Did you really have to mention anything about the other teams? Lol
Taking a second look…. Most of that release page is about other teams… Sheesh…
Per WrestleStatAny info on Soldier Salute? Curious that Iowa abandoned Midlands…interested in the teams that want to come to Coralville over the holidays.
Agreed. The goal should be to peak in November, and stay at that peak through March. There's no way that will lead to any injuries, highlighted by the fact that Iowa has never had a starter with a significant injury.I like that they are having back to back weigh ins in mid November. That will help get the weight down and get them ready for 3 day weigh ins at the NCAA tourney.
I didn’t think he’s saying they should peak in November, I hope no one thinks that peaking for 5 months is sustainable. I think he’s saying that back to back weigh in days helps wrestlers understand what March tourneys will be like. With all the young wrestlers Iowa has this year, back to back weight management days are extremely valuable. Learning proper weight management can be a pain in the ass, early season tourneys are a great learning tool.Agreed. The goal should be to peak in November, and stay at that peak through March.

Nothing curious about it, Midlands canceled on everyone last year. **** that tournamentAny info on Soldier Salute? Curious that Iowa abandoned Midlands…interested in the teams that want to come to Coralville over the holidays.
This. Loved that tourney, but it was going downhill anyway. Plus, we have top notch guys setting this up in a great area with an awesome venue. Count it!Nothing curious about it, Midlands canceled on everyone last year. **** that tournament
More proof that Midlands is dead
They previously had an everything pass (every event on btnplus) and a school pass (every sport for your selected school). I think it was last year they unveiled another option where you can select a sport and get every event on that sport (for example wrestling gets all duals and tournaments covered on btnplus) but you wouldn’t get other sports of your preferred school so no mens or womens bball on btnplus or no gymnastics or no swimming, whatever a person would be into that’s covered on btnplus.Is Big + sport specific now? I thought in past it was for all sports if you subscribed.
Looks like 69.99 for wrestling. Only option is annual, no monthly.They previously had an everything pass (every event on btnplus) and a school pass (every sport for your selected school).

And there’s different prices depending on which option you choose. But historically the big tens and midlands were viewable with just an Iowa school pass and idk if it’s only tournaments that Iowa was physically at or if those tournaments were viewable with a school pass regardless if your selected team was there.
From what I can tell, this is a traditional tournament structure, not duals.I've been off the board for awhile - who will be there is this a dual format or individual bracket?
Add UNI to the list.From what I can tell, this is a traditional tournament structure, not duals.
Teams (as of this posting):
MEN: Army, The Citadel, Columbia, VMI, Wyoming
WOMEN: Central Methodist, Columbia, Indiana Tech, Iowa Wesleyan, Life University, Simpson, Tiffin, William Penn
South Dakota State has listed it on their schedule, but no official announcement from the tournament yet.
The TV and streaming availability looks to be pretty straightforward this year.
5. The Big Ten tournament will be on B1G+ and BTN. Usually, only the finals are on BTN and everything else is B1G+.
Add UNI to the list.
I see the Luther Open is day before Hawks opening meet with Cal Baptist. I wonder if there will be fewer Hawks entering this year.
I’d like to see the Hawks wrestle the Panthers every season. Maybe first meet of year.Nice. I've been in the camp that really wanted to see them back on the schedule, but didn't necessarily want to lose a full competition date for it. Soldier Salute seemed like a good way to get both, so glad it happened.
I think the individual mats fall under the ESPN3 option, which is not part of ESPN+. Must have a TV provider to view them. How they differentiate the two platforms is anyone's guess....6. The NCAA tournament will on ESPN networks/platforms (but not ESPN+).
