Clutch RBY!!!

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

McGhee panicked. Bad shot. That RBY can’t show up tomorrow or Vito mops him. Thankfully I don’t think he will.

 

[mcruny42]

RBY is proof that Spencer F'd up by not coming to PSU. Ice cold in the veins, closer!

 

[nittinsc]

pheeeew!

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Rby is ice cold. He's so good.

 

[mcpat]

We saw Lee lose by fall. Fix lose by major. And RBY survives. Crazy first two weights.

 

[Pitchfork Rebel]

No remach with Fix.

 

[billrag]

McGee had locked hands twice and he was gifted that reversal. I can't believe how bad the officiating has been in this championships. That said RBY did what he needed to do and all is well.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

RBY score?

6-4 TD in OT

 

[RB-Old]

Man did RBY keep his cool there.

 

[tullfan68]

Does Spencer med for. the rest of the tourney?

he was probably injured!!

 

[NittanyChris]

WOW!!!!

RBY!!!!

Lee and Fix lose but RBY’s mental toughness prevails!!!

 

[pish69]

Wow he is so cool and locked in. I thought he should have taken neutral in 3rd. Happy as hell he got it done

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

I get it we don't like Iowa but at the end of the day Spencer is good for the sport and seems like a good person so I can't help having some empathy for a legacy ended twice so close to being a 4 timer.

Not really, that's absurd. Why would I not feel great for Ramos beating a prior multi-year Champ - he seems like a great kid????

 

[pish69]

Jesus Christ. My heart rate after these first two matches. This is incredible stuff

 

[jmadden1998]

I hate all of you. And I’m drunk

 

[Aardvark86]

Poor Mrs Lee lost it and they put it on TV.

Was it better than the Michigan football kid?

 

[mcpat]

Hey - I missed the first four semifinal matches. Anything happen?

 

[RealMicah]

My heart can’t take these past 2 days for
real

 

[nitlion6]

So it’s tough to win four NCAA titles, I hear.

You have to be great.

 

[Bob_Anderson]

Was it better than the Michigan football kid?

Yes, it was an all-timer

 

[PSUcup1]

Great job RBY

 

[Flying_Tiger]

Should we start a GofundMe for new eyeglasses for Mrs Lee?

 

[psualt]

Was it better than the Michigan football kid?

Yes.

 

[nitlion6]

As a PSU fan / Iowa “disliker” I thought I wanted to see it happen, but seeing it actually happen gives me pause. I feel bad for him.

Nope.

 

[Aardvark86]

So two bricks have backfired so far. Lessons to be learned?

 

[Pitchfork Rebel]

Jesus Christ. My heart rate after these first two matches. This is incredible stuff

My normal pulse is 55, I just checked 78...

 

[PSUcup1]

McGhee panicked. Bad shot. That RBY can’t show up tomorrow or Vito mops him. Thankfully I don’t think he will.

McGhee was tired and went for it.

 

[caliPSUfan]

These semis are freakin nuts! My heart is going to explode! RBY is just so freakin cool under pressure - insane!

 

[Little J]

Stay classy Penn State. Parents are proud and live it through their kids. We never like to see our kids not reach their goals.

 

[Raw Daddy]

Who's gonna make the .gif? That's gonna be used on these boards in perpetuity

Dear Lord thank you baby Al Gore for making the internet and father Gates for making the computer so I can watch this .gif forever. Gilman decks him by the way.

 

[pawrestlersintn]

Lee's mother went apeshit and broke her glasses.

Post video.

 

[okinburg1]

6-4 TD in OT

Thank you sir!

 

[BigFella235]

I nearly threw my remote at the screen when they cut to Vito walking off the mat as they were scrambling.

McGee definitely panicked in OT. He took a terrible shot from distance then tried to scramble out of it.

RBY’s body language after he got behind was what I’d point out to my wrestlers. He just kept coming forward and creating opportunities

 

[zzs006]

**** did RBY have my heart beating. Why did he go under in the 3rd? Wasted a minute of time. Ended up not mattering but it seemed odd. I can’t think of a crazier start to a round than this one

 

[JOESTROSSER]

McGee had locked hands twice and he was gifted that reversal. I can't believe how bad the officiating has been in this championships. That's sad RBY did what he needed to do and all is well.

Ref looked stunned it was over turned.

 

[kps7987]

Not really, that's absurd. Why would I not feel great for Ramos beating a prior multi-year Champ - he seems like a great kid????

After watching your posts the last few days I get it that you struggle with complex thought but a person can be happy for one wrestler and at the same time feel bad for the other. They are not mutually exclusive.

 

[Flying_Tiger]

Why would RBY take down when riding time was going to go over a minute negating an escape? He threw away almost a minute of time. I swear coaches need some kind of decision card for choosing top, neutral or bottom like NFL coaches use for deciding whether to go for 2 or not.

Agree, that was not a good choice. Why waste time trying to get out when you were most likely giving up the riding time anyway. Thankfully it didn't cost him the match.

 

[nitlion6]

tom brands is such a bad coach he’s made ME hate wrestling

Damn. You posted something I like.

 

[I.J.W.T.]

Alirez just smacked Beau in the face on that TD
