Tough draw, huh?
Tough draw, huh?
Nobody is unbeatable. NobodySpencer Lee is unbeatable. It's incredible that he can go out there and win without any ACLs..
You're right. I didn't say they won shit in a decade. I said they got one 2nd place finish in a decadeEverybody 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.
you're right. Haven't heard that from Spencer before...That interview though. Seemed a bit chip-on-the-shoulder-ish. A lot, actually.
All very plausible. Plus, he's been in the Iowa program for 4 seasons now. That alone must take a heavy mental and psychological toll.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).
My guess is that they are back next year. Olympic cycle begins next year, wrestle another year of folkstyle and then concentrate on freestyle.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.
By all accounts, Lee is a good kid. But how hard is it to be magnanimous in victory?you're right. Haven't heard that from Spencer before...
Need a link...Lionvision thru go psu sport.com under multimedia. Byers audio should be on there. Sorry not good at posting links
Has a team ever had 4 champs and not won team title Before?
Wait, per HR, wasn't Iowa going to beat PSU by 50+ and challenge the all-time scoring mark? I'm corn-fused...
not so sure of that... no proof or evidence as of late (last couple of years)F*ck. Our best 57kg tears his acl a month before effn trials. Sucks
If this is true, Iowa should not be champions. He should have had a flagrant misconduct and lose all his points earned.Not sure if true or not, but in the other thread, a poster said DeSanto threatened to kill a female official.
Like Bo Nickal?By all accounts, Lee is a good kid. But how hard is it to be magnanimous in victory?
Need a link...
Yeah, he accomplished a lot playing through major injuries. But, he was fishing sooooo hard for some ass rubbing he made Captain Ahab look like a fishing amateur.By all accounts, Lee is a good kid. But how hard is it to be magnanimous in victory?
He was joking? LolNow that was a good joke!
Like Bo Nickal?
Seriously, some of these wrestling interviews are among the worst in sports because the guy has just stepped off the mat and is still juiced and amped up. If the guys (Lee in this case) had 5 minutes to chill and decompress, the interview might well have been very different.
Spencer need only take you down one time in FS, if he can win here, I see no reason he cant go at OTT.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).
Would have been nice to win the team title, but going six-for-six on Saturday is something I'll take any time.Does anyone give a shit we didn’t win team title? I’ll take 4 champs than 1 anyday
Iowa fans should be down on blended knee to Kemerer; I am pretty sure Spencer Lee has said that Kemerer is one of the biggest reasons he ended up at Iowa.
Can you mix me one of those? WowIt’s late and I’ve had two margs but I think I got it. Penn State 2022:
125: Spencer Lee (Howard RS, Steen GS)
133: Roman Bravo-Young
141: Nick Lee or Beau Bartlett
149: Shayne Van Ness or Nick Lee
157: David Carr or Brady Berge
165: Shane Griffith (Facundo GS)
174: Carter Starocci
184: Aaron Brooks
197: Michael Beard
HWT: Greg Kerkvliet
I think he doesn't like Iowa any longer. Fed up with the drama maybe?He came across dickish to me. A departure from his typical classy demeanor. He seems to have regressed as a person while Desantos has improved as a person.
Completely agree and I said that to myself Thursday.I'm almost to the point that I think it's a "problem" with medications. And now the devious side to me so turn away if you dont want to watch but Desanto wrestles like a complete beast when he's pissed off. The entire year he didnt have that edge to him until Nationals. Now If I were a like a Hawk fan (more specifically...Vodka) I'd think they took him off his meds to get that edge back.
Ok... pile on.
Need to start a Go Fund Me for an expansion to hold all the pictures and future trophies.Will they have enough wall space in Lorenzo for four new champion pictures?
actually thank you, the link provided is a wonderful story about the pit bull puppy Jake on pit bull radio...maybe tomorrow it will work?He gave you instructions for how to find it. You were just too lazy to follow the instructions, and hoped that somebody would spoon feed it to you.

Has there ever been a national title winning team’s fanbase who had a less enjoyable Finals Night?
