NCAA Championship Thread: Session IV

Psu guys celebrating this shows how sick they are. They’ve had so much success they fail to comprehend what a loss feels like.

Pride cometh before the fall. I don’t know when or where but karma will catch you. Celebrate teams success but no one should celebrate Spencer’s loss after all he’s been through.

I’m still proud as hell and I hope he can find a way to hold his head high after some time. After getting to know him these past six years this will haunt him. He will beat himself up. Laugh at him now, only shows your character. I’m truly gutted for him. He must feel devastated
SOTE
 
If you are gonna lock there you better do something with it. Locking around the abdomen and just sitting basically sets yourself up.
Yeah very true. What was he doing? I hate to say it but this does feel like another failed match in regards to going in with a plan, given the opponent and context. Context being Lee isn’t 100%. I hate to give psu credit, but there top guys never lose these matches. Never. Sure most our guys are 80% as talented but lee was the one who was a blue chip talent

The lee’s have trashed psu‘s staff for the last five years on the trail. It’s personal

Agreed. I don't like the "I don't worry about the opponent, I just wrestling my match".

Brands teaches this and Lee says that in interviews

Ultimately he got the review call and started on top in his best position with under a minute left and let him escape. Guy's usually don't get out there. Spencer had that pale clamy look we have seen at times when he struggles with energy.
 
The people laughing? I don’t understand that thought process. They don’t know him. All they know if he’s at Iowa and they blindly hate Iowa. Take a few minutes, sit back and realize there are people behind the names you see on the screen. It’s disgusting. I don’t even know what else to say. I hope Terry is close to Spencer right now. He’s about the only one that can talk to him. Their relationship and Terry s experience are invaluable now.

It just, sucks. Man does it suck.

It’s ridiculous. There is naunce, where you can focus on your opponent and not wrestle your match but it’s foolish to not have a plan. Ramos is a big move guy. Should have never gotten in compromising ties.
 
This doesn’t diminish his career at Iowa at all. He will always be remembered as one of the best ever. Be thankful you got to enjoy him as long as you did.
Of course it will diminish his career. That’s like saying if Pat Mahomes lost this Super Bowl, never won another, that losing the Super Bowl wouldn’t diminish his career. Lee is an all time great Hawkeye, but he’ll never be a top 10 wrestler all time. Anyone who won 4 is above him. He’s still awesome and I love lee but this diminishes his career much like metcalf losing diminished his. And David Taylor losing two diminished his.

If he can win a gold in Olympics and multiple worlds that could shift his overall resume, much like Taylor has.
 
I’ll always be a Hawkeye, but our universities and their athletics program are going down with our horrible lack of state leadership. It will be this way for the foreseeable future. One day the rot will end, but in the meantime, truth hurts.
That's the dumbest statement I've ever seen. What the hell does state leadership have to do with our Athletic programs. Our Athletic Dept is 100% financially independent and the State has zero say in anything in the Athletic department. And if we want to compete with the blue bloods of the world you need to throw your morality right out the window to win at all costs. PSU wrestling is the perfect example of that since Cael arrived. So again, I think Pennsylvania might be a tad better place for you...

It doesn’t diminish what he already accomplished. You can’t diminish that which you haven’t achieved.

Come on guys. Every fan base has the ultimate trump card over Penn State. Only school I still shudder when I see someone wearing a Nittany Lion or see the words Penn State. Don’t know if that will ever go away. Don’t need to feed their trolls.
