Does this really surprise anyone?

Sorry to ask this here, didn't really see any wrestling thread.

Is it normal to have almost a month off between the last Big Ten duel meet and the Big Ten tourney?


Gable will waltz to another Big Ten and NCAA title, before moving on to the WWE. Too bad we don't have a better team around him!

Any Gopher wrestling fans (left) on the Hole? Bueller? @salzie ? (or were you just posting the story?)

I guess to try to answer my own question:

2018-19: last duels were Indiana Feb 17 and Rider (non-conf) Feb 21, with Big Ten tourny Mar 9-10
2019-20: last duel was Nebraska Feb 21, with Big Ten tourny Mar 7-8 (which was held, NCAA's cancelled)

2021-22: last duel Ohio St Feb 11, with Big Ten Mar 5-6


So seems like they could've tried to have one or two more this weekend-ish?

i loosely follow Gopher wrestling, as I do all gopher sports, but I would consider myself a fan.

Long way to say just posting the story

Same, I don't closely follow it.

Seems since J Robinson was fired for that scandal, Gopher wrestling has slid into mediocrity. Notwithstanding someone like Steveson!

And it’s tough for me to be so enthused in the program given that the best wrestler in the history of our program has… baggage.
