Bucknell's round robin event with VMI and LIU is taking place today. So it can be done.

The only live results I'm finding are on Bucknell's twitter feed. Looks like the Bison are 14-0 so far, with several wrestlers 2-0 on the day.

The most recent prior dual meet cancellation that I can remember. About 15 years ago we had a quad scheduled in Stabler with American, Rider, and Rutgers. We had maybe 4 inches of snow in the Valley, maybe 8 in NJ. Rutgers got up early, drove across the Delaware, and were told that the University was closed. So of course instead of spending 7-8 hours wrestling in the Saucon Valley, wherein all the roads were cleared, they drove back before the snow ended. (Rider and American competed with us.

Back in 1978 We had a Stephen King level of Flu. All but one starter was really sick. I think We cancelled one Dual (Temple?) and maybe postponed another (Syracuse?) The Dual with Cuse we used 158 and 167 guys I don;t Remember, Each Had 1 career win Joe Hockman and Jim Leiser, The Flu was so bad Mark L gassed in the EIWA finals, and could have lost.
Any other cancellation / postponements?

We ended up with one dual at the Hawaii thing a few years back if that counts.
We canceled the last two bouts of the Army dual in '80 the first year of Stabler when someone from Army threatened to plant a bomb (not really although it was a bomb threat)

Cornell had two duals canceled because of weather two seasons ago. Their first opponent at the South Beach Duals (One Of The Dakota States) couldn't get to Florida for the first day. Then their dual with Sacred Heart was snowed out.

In 1971 Cornell and Syracuse missed EIWAs due to a late blizzard. The show went on without them.

But Colgate and Army made the EIWA that C + S missed.

There was also a Va dual or National Dual where the first round opponent did not show and we got a bye

Hofstra's season is kind of pretend.

Simply AMAZING...

Other than mook-in-nator's faux play by play, this dual string is over 6 tantalizing pages long without ANY wrestling done on the mat. :P
