In what could be the only collegiate wrestling watch ever scheduled on Twitter, Penn State announced today that it will play Iowa in a non-conference dual December 21 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

It all started yesterday afternoon when Penn State wrestling coach Cael Sanderson (@caelsanderson) sent a tweet to Iowa wrestling coach Tom Brands (@TomBrandsHAWK) pointing out that the always exciting Penn State-Iowa meet was not on the schedule due to the normal conference team rotation.

@TomBrandsHAWK there seems to be something BIG missing on our schedules this year…

Brand responded to Sanderson with his first tweet ever.

@caelsanderson yeah. I agree . Lets do something about it. — Tom Brands (@TomBrandsHAWK) September 5, 2013

Sanderson wanted to the meet to be at Rec Hall. Half an hour later there was no response from Brands.

@TomBrandsHAWK warning stalling

Brands responded later saying that Penn State owed Iowa two matches in a row at Carver Hawkeye Arena. Sanderson agreed but on one condition.

@TomBrandsHAWK ok fair enough. can u guarantee we get the tiny locker room with pink walls?

— Cael Sanderson (@caelsanderson) September 5, 2013

Brands agreed to Sanderson’s condition — and more.

@caelsanderson we can guarantee the pink locker room- and a sold out arena.

Brands had an opening around the winter break and Sanderson said that the team’s schedule was tight but they would make sure to fit Iowa in.

@TomBrandsHAWK schedule’s tight but we’ll make it work. Send a date and we’ll lock it in.

Of course, there’s a good chance it was all scripted, because Penn State announced only a day later that it would be heading to Iowa City to avenge last year’s 22-16 loss. But either way, Penn State fans should be excited that two of collegiate wrestling’s most storied programs will be meeting after all.

Penn State’s schedule is also highlighted by a dual meet scheduled for the Bryce Jordan Center against Pitt.
