He has probably had to listen to Brands dribble gibberish in his ear about how they got screwed all night and he needs to go out and win it for all the hawkettes who were screwed out of the proper stalling points and victories.
Roman, Nick, and Carter executed a perfect plan against exceptional (and favored) opponents. They took their opponents into deep waters and pounced when it mattered. Very impressive.
Aaron has been one of my favorites on the team since he showed up, but it would sure help my blood pressure if he would not let guys with a puncher's chance like Hidlay stick around late in a match. He's such a joy to watch and the final score tonight doesn't reflect how Aaron controlled that match. BTW, I have a feeling his ankle is bothering him more than he lets on. He came up hobbling during the semis match.
PSU will be ranked 6th.

Penn State Perfect In the NCAA Finals!
The Penn State Nittany Lions (6-0, 6-0 B1G), under the direction of head coach Cael Sanderson, added four more national champions to its growing list of title-holders at the 2021 NCAA Wrestling Championships. Penn State went a perfect 4-0 in the NCAA finals, with all four individuals winning...

All true. Google it some time. It was bad enough that a high school sports hero (in the 80s when this shit was condoned) actually got suspended for an entire year. If it happened today, it would be front page news.
still not as bad as Cael throwing a chair
When did Cael throw a chair? I guess I need a Flo subscription or something...All true. Google it some time. It was bad enough that a high school sports hero (in the 80s when this shit was condoned) actually got suspended for an entire year. If it happened today, it would be front page news.

@wrestlingnomad
PSU going 4-0 in the finals is Cael's way of reminding Iowa they're just renting the trophy for a year
Cael lost his cool & threw a chair after the infamous J'Den Cox roller skating win across a puddle of sweat vs David Taylor at World Team Trials several years ago.
Cael should have thrown the ref across the mat, but he's too polite for that behavior.
He flipped a chair over on to the mat when David Taylor and Jaden Cox wrestled. The mat was a slip 'n slide due to sweat and Taylor was pushing Cox across the mat like a sled. They didn't stop to wipe the mat and Taylor couldn't finish a TD and lost. Cael.....and thousands of others......were a bit upset.
Well the Olympic trials just got more interesting for PSU fans. Several more qualified!!!
This is true, there is a court record available online but doesn’t give the detailsAll true. Google it some time. It was bad enough that a high school sports hero (in the 80s when this shit was condoned) actually got suspended for an entire year. If it happened today, it would be front page news.

Pretty sure this is mostly in jest, but 4 years in that program could probably brainwash most anyone a little bit.
meh. In HS he would stand over and peacock kids he pinned who were clearly outmatched. I know I’m in the huge minority here but I never liked him. He did change in college and was definitely more likeable these days
I’m sure this is an unpopular opinion but it’s accurate
Disappointing that some on here would be critical of Spencer after that interview. He just went through hell and they stuck a mic in front of him right off the mat. He didn't denigrate his opponents. The trials almost certainly loom large in his mind as well.
I'm sure you all were pissed at Bo after his post match interview when he pinned Martin too.

If Spencer pinned Suriano to clinch the title he could say whatever he wants and I seriously doubt anyone would complain.
but again, I will add that I’m in the extreme minority who has never liked him (unreal wrestler, never liked his attitude)
Personal note (after a couple of glasses of red wine): Each year and for quite a while, just before the NCAA finals, I put in a hard timed run of a mile on the track or a measured course on the road (after a number of miles warm up) and imagine what it is like to push it again for seven non-stop minutes on the wrestling mat.
I almost always chose a particular Penn State wrestler to focus on as I run and usually select a guy I know has a relentless drive and gas tank. In the past, I recall picking Nico and Zain, among others, who were in the NCAA finals that day.
Today (about 5:00 or 5:30 PM), I picked Nick Lee and for some reason, I decided to go for 8 minutes instead of the usual timed mile distance (6 to 6 1/2 minutes). Subconsciously, I probably thought there was a good chance for OT and kept pushing the pace after hitting the mile mark until almost reaching a mile and a 1/4 at 8:02.
Watching three guys in a row pull it out after 7 minutes in regulation in SV (overtime), I took an extra vicarious delight in the wins at 133, 141, and 174. Not, of course, because I did anything to help, but rather because I could better imagine the intensity and focus of pushing it past what you think your limit actually is.
Congrats to the Four Horseman! And thank you for the inspiration. We all need something to help us get by after a long year of quarantine and social deprivation. Here's to looking forward to an even better 2021.

Spencer Lee has just been awarded a suicide prevention medal by the governor of Iowa!
I hinted about this over there when a couple of the most knowedgeable were talking really stupid. It doesn't bring out the heroes that want to fight against all the other injustices in the world like ankle rides, roids,slush, Ali shuffles, Teasdale,etcAll true. Google it some time.

I saw that tweet. The comments from Iowa fans are hilarious.
But Brands is a born again Christian so it’s all forgiven (eye roll)
There's a federal case involving a temporary restraining order filed on Brand's behalf lifting the suspension and allowing him to compete in the post-season. He lost the case and couldn't compete during the rest of the post-season. No position was taken by the court on his guilt or innocence in the alleged incident giving rise to the TRO. This case was more about the school's right to suspend him. But Iowa no doubt knew about the incident when he was recruited, so he's long been absolved by Gable.All true. Google it some time.

I noticed the same thing. It looked like Brands had his panties in a bunch with Spencer right after the bout and it looked like Lee was giving it right back to him. I remember thinking at the time “the kid just won a national title, what could you possibly be pissed about?”
I couldn't really tell. He may not have been mad at all. He's not exactly one to smile a lot.
The comment about Sasso having to pay the Steiber tab you're referencing involved District 11 kids. Oliver when he threw his silver medal in the garbage spoke volumes on how he felt about the call.
Sasso should of won that match last night. He would of under Penn State coaching mentality. the Ohio State philosophy is more conservative on creating scoring opportunities.

They could interview the PSU guys before the session starts..........
Kid is seriously jeopardizing his freestyle career for those bozos. Taking advantage of his willingness to sacrifice. He should take a med next year and heal up
He can go OTT, but might be difficult to takedown Gilman and others, all who are significantly better than Courtney.
That is why there are Olympic Red Shirts. Spencer was chasing two goals at once, team title for Iowa and Olympics. He got the team title, however the Olympics was probably more important for him. For the OTTs, he is now at a disadvantage and you never know what happens down the road. Take Wade Schalles, in 76 fractured vertebra, in 80, Olympic boycott.
