Hey Wahlberg: 30 posts in one thread. You are on a roll trying to make a point. From my perspective, Spencer put his heart and soul into this program. He often competed hurt or sick and made our team better for it. He helped us win our first team title in 10-years and didn't get knee surgery so he could compete for a team that had the chance to win and did win a national championship. He competed this year 10-months removed from double knee surgery, when it generally takes 11-12 months to return from one ACL repair let alone two. He did so, because he didn't want the Hawks to lose to Iowa State and if he doesn't wrestle that night we do lose. He won a national title after tearing his second ACL in the Big 10 final.... I could go on and on, but my point is that Spencer Lee has earned the benefit of doubt. He has represented the University of Iowa in a stellar manner. He has helped us recruit and was also a part of a culture change in the program. You can go on and on, but you cannot diminish him, as much as you try, the impact he has had on this program.
So, you can try for a record number of posts on a single thread. Keep up the key board warrior approach. I think the record is 35 posts on a single thread so you're close, don't fade now. Go for it. You seem intent on refuting any attempt to support the young man. Frankly, I think you sound like someone with an ax to grind. The Hawkeye Banquet is this week. Show up, put on a name tag with your real name on it versus your screen name that makes you very brave and easy to be so critical. Once inside the banquet room, take the microphone from Tom Brands and tell that crowd what you think of Spencer. Let them know that you know better than the coaches, trainers and the athletes themselves how to run a program. Let them know how much you disagree with the decision made and share with them your own uninformed perspective with those that truly know the why. Tell them that despite world, Olympic and team titles won by that coaching staff that you know best. Be determined. You posted 30 times on this thread. I challenge you to get 30 comments behind the podium after you rip the microphone from Tom's hands. Put your toe on the line, step up to the podium and engage those that you are being critical of or just be another key board warrior that is brave behind a keyboard and a screen name. Or, you can step up and put yourself out there in person and stand up for your convictions and show us that your more than a sad, scornful, weak, impotent and fetal positioned idiot in the face of any person-to-person exchanges.
