Congratulations to Iowa for winning its first team title in 11 years. Too bad PSU owned the night and will be remembered more for its performance than this Iowa team. Wrestling is an individual sport, your job as coach is to help your athletes reach their goals. Brands failed.
Eierman went to Iowa to win a national championship, oops lost to the PSU guy (BTN even included him in an "On the Mat" episode). Kemerer has been the good soldier at Iowa, oops lost to a PSU guy. Marinelli, another #1 seed, losses in the quarter finals again (at least it wasn't against a PSU guy). No wonder they are a little bitter.
If you are an elite recruit, what program are you more interested in? The one with the team title and 1 champion or the one with 4 champions, 2 of them head to head against Iowa avenging earlier losses. Obvious answer.
In the words of Tanner Boyle "You can take your trophy and shove it", PSU back on top next year.

I was kinda thinking that if Eierman and Kemerer won titles, they might be less likely to return next year.
Do they really want this grind again.

Ok guys, season is over. Let’s get chopping wood and carrying some water. No days off.
Everybody keeps saying "in decade". The last 10 champs are Penn State with 8, Ohio State with 1 and Iowa with 1. Until today they had not won shit in a decade. It has been 11 years since they won a championship.
It probably won't happen again until 3 or 4 years after Spencer takes over.
The "test board!" Could you imagine if your first board posting experience was there? You'd never fking return for a second visit! LMAOOOOOOO!
That same thought crossed my mind.
Maybe...maybe not but I'm willing to bet Cael and PSU won over even more young kids and recruits. When they see PSU putting out National Champs like they do, we may no longer even need a damn slush fund....
or Willie.
Iowa fans should be down on bended knee to Kemerer; I am pretty sure Spencer Lee has said that Kemerer is one of the biggest reasons he ended up at Iowa.

That’s not a sure thing. Yianni will also be given credit as returning two time champion as well and seeding COULD....not saying will, but could end up with Nick as 2 and Jaydin as 3.
Excuse me while I pour another Pappy Van Winkle and re-watch this.
Depending on Van Ness situation
Lee might go to 149, Beau down to 141.
like a combination of the x files, jerry springer and the drudge report —a very dark place lmao.
I'll be goddam if I am going to do my wife's chores!
Griffiths is OW, sticking it to Stanford even more.
The question now is do they want the grind for another runner-up medal.
He’s a dick and was a boring ****ing wrestler
‘People need to stop making judgements on a someone’s character based on an interview right after a match. I will admit it wasn’t the best look for Lee, but I have heard nothing but good things about him. I am not about to label the kid a dick based on that interview.
Lionvision thru go psu sport.com under multimedia. Byers audio should be on there. Sorry not good at posting links
I disagree with all that say he was dickish, etc. I saw a kid that was relieved. He tore his ACL (again) 8 days ago and watched all of his teammates lose tonight, as well as their rivals for 4-4. Quint asked him what he had been through and answered. He didn't make excuses and said they kept it quiet so there would be none.
I just saw a guy that was happy he won. yet relieved. This may sound wrong, but it's not easy when everyone expects you to be perfect. My guess is he felt the burden of carrying his own and his team's expectations and was just honest. I don't think anything differently after this interview than any other I've ever heard him give.
Pyles' plan should include "learn more about what I am talking about!"
Being a dick is a scatter plot. 99% of his plots are in the not a dick area of the chart. That one was more firmly in the crotch than AJ
I’m with in stumbling distance.
“When someone shows you who they are, believe them”
Like you said, he came off smug. And while he didn’t toss his team under the bus, he definitely placed them in front of it.
Agree, wasn't the best look, but not much time to process a lot of emotions. Feels bad for his teammates who lost, particularly Kemerer. He did not get bonus, maybe that cost him the Hodge. He has a recently torn ACL and the Olympic trials in a month (getting a NCAA title might have cost him a shot at an Olympic team birth).
