I'm thinking since it's pretty much spykers call on who we press, it's probably his call on when and how often. Caels just along for the ride when it comes to recruiting.
Sad but Spyker is almost ignore worthy. I have never seen someone post so much with so little information. It would be a 1st for me to put someone on ignore simply because of the annoying factor. His only saving grace is he takes his lumps in stride and IS STILL VERY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That first sentence might be the funniest thing I have read in awhile. Well done sir!
Carr was not on his game all day yesterday. Put on his back in 3 straight matches. Was able to pull it out in the first 2 but not the last match.
He looked gassed early (taking injury time) in some matches that he gutted out. I would not be surprised if he was under the weather.
So much FULL COURT PRESS has to wear him down.
So tonight I met with a wrestling ref that does college and high school, and a number of the elite high school tournaments. I asked what he had done lately. He mentioned a few and then said he'd done Ironman this weekend. My reply was to ask who impressed him the most at Ironman. He thought for a short bit, and then said "Hovis, from Poway." We chatted a bit more, and I found that he reffed the Hovis - Carr final.
I told him (the ref) that Hovis had gotten a lot of discussion over the weekend as a result of his win over Carr. I also mentioned that there were some suggestions and/or guesses that Carr was sick. He said that anything is possible, but that Carr looked fine to him in the final.
The ref saw Lee's match, but did not ref it. He said it was pretty obvious that Spencer was ticked after the match -- probably because he had given up the TD. He went on to say that right after the match Spencer was doing wind sprints. He felt that (being annoyed at less than perfection, and then taking it out in a workout) were part of what makes Spencer so special. I opined that perhaps it was Spencer adopting the Iowa technique. (During the PSU - Iowa dual at Rec Hall in 2012, I saw several of the Iowa guys running wind sprints in the hallway after their matches. I asked someone from Iowa about it (not sure if he was a trainer, or what), and he indicated that it was part of their cool-down procedure after a match.)
You mean the Iowa technique for giving up takedowns? JUST KIDDING ... but thought for a second when I read this that that's where you were going with it.
