Is it too early to start thinking about the race for the 2021-22 NCAA wrestling championship? No, probably not -- especially now that we know that Iowa will be bringing back all 10 starters from the team that won the 2020-21 NCAA wrestling championship, ending the program's 11-year drought and claiming a 24th team title. Iowa will enter 2021-22 as the favorite to win again, given that they're the current title-holders and they're returning all 10 starters. A repeat championship is not guaranteed, though -- Penn State finished as runners-up to Iowa this past season, but claimed four individua...

; TuneIn (maybe) ANNOUNCERS: Shane Sparks and Jim Gibbons Iowa opened up their 2021 season with a dominant win over Nebraska and if the transitive property applies to wrestling (it does not), then they should be in store for another easy win tonight.

Wrestling: Huskers Dominated by Hawkeyes Share this story Photo by Hunter Martin/Getty Images The No. 6 Nebraska wrestling team traveled to Iowa City, Iowa to take on the best of the best in college wrestling. And the Huskers were served some humble pie thanks to the Hawkeyes. Top-ranked Iowa beat Nebraska 31-6 after winning the first six matches to go up 24-0. Iowa showed why they’re at the top. And to be honest, the gap between them and the rest of the field is quite wide. I expect Iowa to do this to many of the top teams this dual season.

; TuneIn (maybe) ANNOUNCERS: Shane Sparks and Jim Gibbons And we're back! It's been over 10 months since the last time Iowa wrestling competed in a dual meet (a 34-6 win over Oklahoma State in last year's regular season finale), but after a long absence, Iowa wrestling is finally set to be back in our lives tonight. Huzzah!  Iowa gets the 2021 season underway with a visit from a a feisty border rival, #6 Nebraska. Nebraska-Iowa duals have often been chippy in recent years and there's no love lost between the Iowa and Nebraska coaching staffs; how will that dynamic play out in a Carver-Ha...
