Prolly referring to Rivera’s response that Iowa was happy Spencer doesn’t have to face him.Nothing he said was unfair as far as I heard?
That's why he's competing for Puerto Rico!He's going to get his a** kicked if he goes to the U.S. Open or World Championships... He's not world class.
I certainly thought that Mueller would be a better match up for Lee than Rivera but I would honestly take Lee over Rivera if they wrestled a third time anyway. To say Rivera is not at that level when he is 2 and 0 this season against junior world champ Lee doesn't add up to me. Don't downplay the competition, Rivera is VERY good and a threat to Lee the next two years. Here's hoping that Lee can be the next 4x champ all the same
Listen to his comments at the 2:20 mark
Yep, said as much yesterday. He didn’t deserve the big ten title and still thinks Spencer and Iowa we’re avoiding him and glad he wasn’t in the finals.
You're an idiot.Iowa was avoiding him at the dual, there is no legit reason to get upset at him for calling out the Hawks behavior and actions
There are legit reasons Lee didn't wrestle. Protecting Lee's health is the correct behavior and action.Iowa was avoiding him at the dual, there is no legit reason to get upset at him for calling out the Hawks behavior and actions

Lee beat Mueller

Precisely. As happy as I am for Spencer's win, he has yet to beat Rivera. You can't "legitimately" dismiss Rivera.

And iowa has never won a national championship since wrestling began a few years ago. Love the education hawk fans get on this board.Precisely. As happy as I am for Spencer's win, he has yet to beat Rivera. You can't "legitimately" dismiss Rivera.
That was a poorly thought out statement.Precisely. As happy as I am for Spencer's win, he has yet to beat Rivera. You can't "legitimately" dismiss Rivera.
Once Lee gets his strength back, Rivera better not go down or give up a td or he’ll get teched.I certainly thought that Mueller would be a better match up for Lee than Rivera but I would honestly take Lee over Rivera if they wrestled a third time anyway.

Except that they are 2-2 against each other, with Lee owning 3 and 12 point wins and Rivera having 4 and 2 point wins
On the plus side, I have had poorer ones!That was a poorly thought out statement.
Sorry, I poorly stated and corrected.Did I miss the matches last year?
Except that they are 2-2 against each other, with Lee owning 3 and 12 point wins and Rivera having 4 and 2 point wins
So, how does a split relegate Rivera to a non factor?
Because he’s only beaten Spencer when we was sick and recovering.
Are you really this stupid?

Oh...so you want to 100% dismiss any notion that Rivera's improvement was a non factor? Maybe so. But, I am smart enough to wait until next year before I want to make a definitive statement.
Hot take.....Rivera places worse than 3rd next year if Lee wrestles and does not take a redshirt.Oh...so you want to 100% dismiss any notion that Rivera's improvement was a non factor? Maybe so. But, I am smart enough to wait until next year before I want to make a definitive statement.
And then compliment Rivera in the post match interviewHimself Howe and Brewer all knew deep down this was the year they a shot at beating him.
Rivera runs around the mat like he won the NCAA title both times after beating Lee and the best part for me after Lee destroys him next year is Lee will just take off his ankle bands shake hands and walk off the mat. No antics no big deal.
And the 2 point win being at least slightly controversial. But to LionLovers point, Rivera has beaten Spencer and only Spencer, his family and the staff will ever really know if he was healthy this year or not.Except that they are 2-2 against each other, with Lee owning 3 and 12 point wins and Rivera having 4 and 2 point wins
