So when does Spencer Lee get to return to college? LOL
Iowa at Mn PBP thread
- Thread starter Valholl
- Start date
Gable moves so smooth. Honestly, I'm glad he came back to wrestling. Hopefully he does Freestyle aswell. He can make good money doing this now! Why not?
He isn’t a threat to get a takedown. Sure he’s in every match but it’s only cuz he’s 5 7 and guys have a hard time taking him down.
One would think if you played in a professional sport, that would void your college eligibility.
Gable absolutely destroys BK but shows him a lot of respect after the match. For sure grown as a man.

Somewhere a Gopher fan is saying "they were stalling and it was a fair catch"

That was cringy, Gable talking in Ben's ear from behind
He was asking him if he was alright. No disrespect at all
I think his chances to AA are pretty much non existent.
He's probably looking at a seed at Nattys somewhere between 12-15.
Blood round might be his ceiling.
Great dual overall for Iowa. Minny is a solid team this year. Great fan support there for us. Love to see it! Go Hawks!
And he's still younger than Nelson...
Me too. He’s a helluva lot of fun to watch. Crazy athletic for someone his size. Olympic gold medal match was incredible.
Gable really took it to him but agreed, no disrespect there. Gable knows what he is and what BK could be in the future. Respect
100% he was complimenting Ben and telling him he has a bright future. Or he was saying I'm better at wrestling but you're better at football

How? To me it looked like respect and likely giving some encouragement. Nothing cringy about it.
The heel schtick never felt authentic to me. It felt like he was playing a character.
Hawks took care of business, but Gable is a bad man. He made that look so easy.
Makes sense considering the profession he was trying to get into. Glad that’s done and he can be less of a prick
Everyone here seems afraid to say anything remotely harsh about GA because his father posts on this forum from time to time.
But the hype when he enrolled was real.
Hell, even at 174 next year he’s going to be undersized.
Seems like a good kid and I hope he can AA before he graduates.
At many of these upper weights, the elite guys are dropping 15-20 lbs to make weight.
Especially considering part of his pro career was in wrestling that he was paid for. Can a football player go NFL for a year and then return to their college to play again?
Good dual, fun atmosphere regardless of the outcome. Props to y’all. See you at Big Tens 🤝
His losses are to #4 McEnelly and #7 Allred. He has beaten #11 Smith, #12 Ruth and #18 Rogotzke. Starcocci and Keckeisen top 2 by far. Then Plott, McEnelly, Berge, and Foca are 3-6. He's going to have to beat someone of that caliber to AA most likely.

Heartbreaking loss for Gabe. Just did not have a takedown in him tonight. Not that its something to brag about but isn't that the closest match for McEnelly?
I’m not afraid to say anything. I just don’t think it’s worth bringing the heat and trashing him.
For all you know he said “You’re a great wrestler. I hope you stick with the sport, you can do great things.”
He was definitely an ass early in his career. He's matured tremendously.
I mean what harsh thing do you want to say? He needs to open up more and try to score? Absolutely. PapaBear knows that. The guy he wrestled tonight is a tank. And Gabe went down to the wire with him on the road. . He will be fine
