Spencer and Gavin

I was there and obviously the decibel level raised, but that always happens when there is an upset or a fall. There was no one booing or trying to get stall calls.
LL, was Schalles really an "underdog" heading into the match? Schalles had pinned something like 20 out of 22 opponents going into that match I believe?
Sure. There's going to be a reaction, a "buzz". Death, Taxes and Sun Rising in the East type of thing...........
Sadly, This is spot on. Somebody even said "6-0? The other kid must of been allowed to just turtle up"
BREAKING: People discuss how serious knee injury likely affected athlete's ability to perform!
what did Teasdale have to say on twitter. he must have removed it bec all I see is apology for his language and respect for both wrestlers
My question on this whole thing is this. Spencer has now had 2 significant injuries in the past 2 years with his shoulder and his knee. How concerned should we about him being injury prone or is it just bad luck?
He recovered from the shoulder to win a world title. I think he will recover from the knee and win a national title.
Penn States Hwt has had a couple of serious injuries and been just fine. Injuries are always a concern with a physical sport.
Ha....regardless of whether Carl ran him out or if he figured out how to get himself out of a shitty situation "I" still enjoyed watching a former Penn State and underdog wrestler win that day.....

Also cheered for DT to beat Dake so not completely against Penn State and do enjoy great wrestling and stories like Jenkins and DT or Mocco. Even though Mocco left Iowa for OK State...
Stepping up? He climbed up.
Jeezus H....a torn ACL is a serious injury.
You're a moron.
Everything you need to know about this subject was explained by Desantos comments after the match. Classy kid who admitted that the Lee he just wrestled wasn't the Lee he knows or faced before. All class from both the kids.
A HUGE underdog. He came out of nowhere, form a nobody school and beat a STUD returning state champ. Nobody gave Schalles a chance to beat Bimbo Chatman...except Schalles.
Schalles never won a state championship before this match.. This was were the legend of Schalles was born. The kid he beat at the state championship returned the following year and became a state champion again....after Schalles graduated.
Everyone thought those pins were "fluky." He was so gangly looking, that he looked more like a second team basketball player than as stud wrestler.
But, even the Dan Gable called Schalles the greatest pinner he had ever seen. So, in retrospect, those pins weren't flukes.
As an aside, Schalles's feat was a little like Vision Quest. He actually came to my high school to scout Chatman wrestling a regular season match. He KNEW he was going to end up wrestling Chatman for the championship. Great story. Great wrestler.
We all know that Oklahoma State could never wrestle on such a tiny mat with less room to run and stall!

But they would always be on the edge.
what would be the use of having a larger mat than those used at Nationals?We all know that Oklahoma State could never wrestle on such a tiny mat with less room to run and stall!
