Was that you? Wasn’t me. I can’t find it now, but it was a solid point.

It definitely got chippy. I’m pretty sure those 2 don’t like each other much which should lead to a great match. AB’s defense has gotten so good and he’s really controlling people with his underhook. Will be interesting to see if he can use it to control space against Zahid. I’m picking AB but feel like it’s a true toss up match. I’m also not a Zahid fan so I’d love to see AB beat him and have 2 NLWC/PSU guys ahead of him. I would also love/hate to see a best of 3 between AB/DT. Don’t think AB is quite ready to take out DT but these young guys don’t seem to be intimidated and have come to wrestle. Never thought the Bartlett/Lee match would be so closeBrooks versus Valencia could be fun. If I remember correctly, it got somewhat chippy the last time they met. Valencia seemed to think he was not being respected enough.
And in the realm of "things we can control," maybe we collectively can stop obsessing over the guy, his family, and coaches so much? Maybe? Bueller?There are 10 fantastic US Open Finals, but everyone is talking about the ducker in Iowa, his weird parents, broken glasses & the super weird old man interview.
Family of weird-os should go away for a long while, and stop taking spotlight away from the wrestlers who actually wrestle.

OK I have tried and tried, but I cannot figure out what GIA means. Can someone please enlighten me? Thanks in advance.Lugo's, Eierman's, and Spencer's withdrawals from the US Open, Coralville World Cup is no more, and Kemerer may best both HWC 79kgers.
The self-proclaimed GIA/HR off season from hell continues.
I will be rooting for DeSanto to pull an upset to provide some glimmer of hope.
The new name of the Hawkey Report (and accompanying forums) is "Go Iowa Awesome." So "HR" is now "GIA." Or, if you're me, "Gallagher Iba Arena"OK I have tried and tried, but I cannot figure out what GIA means. Can someone please enlighten me? Thanks in advance.

U.S. Open today, NFL draft tonight, shaping up to be a good sports day.

It was good enough for him to finish the match--but his motion was severely compromised, and his motion is his biggest strength. Haven't seen any updates, don't expect any either.Any updates on injury to Carter? Pray it is not serious
I’m pretty sure his dad is setting up a news conference to discuss it as we speakIt was good enough for him to finish the match--but his motion was severely compromised, and his motion is his biggest strength. Haven't seen any updates, don't expect any either.
Is he wrestling back?Any updates on injury to Carter? Pray it is not serious
It would surprise me if he does.Is he wrestling back?
And didn’t Pyles miss a Golden opportunity to ask Lar about certain calls to certain individuals where he promised meetings with TnT?Having experience interviewing people who don't want to reveal the truth I found the Mr. Lee interview cringeworthy. I try to get past the fact that Spencer is not speaking for himself and a parent is doing an interview for a college graduate but whenever he is asked questions where there isn't a clear answer or he doesn't want certain details revealed his speech cadence is completely off. He answers some questions so fluid but these are not information seeking questions but when asked specifically about injury there is a prevalent stutter and filler words until he can determine the right way to answer. So outside of speaking for you adult son, he did not present a positive image in the content and appearance of deception.
I was just about to ask the same thing. If he does his likely first match would be against Marinelli. I really doubt he competes today though. His movement was so compromised and he had no power on his penetration steps.Is he wrestling back?
Or missed an an opportunity to ask Lar if wifey has gotten a new pair of specs?And didn’t Pyles miss a Golden opportunity to ask Lar about certain calls to certain individuals where he promised meetings with TnT?
I could be wrong, but I believe AB controls the match from start to finish.It definitely got chippy. I’m pretty sure those 2 don’t like each other much which should lead to a great match. AB’s defense has gotten so good and he’s really controlling people with his underhook. Will be interesting to see if he can use it to control space against Zahid.

The drama doesn't come when he enters a tournament, just whenever he exits without winning it.Yeah it’s weird. It’s as if the Lee family thinks everyone watching only cares about Spencer Lee. Hell you had an Olympic Gold Medlaist in the tournament. So many great wrestlers yesterday. I didn’t see any other parents interviews after an injury.
My take..if you too injured to wrestle the whole tourney, don’t enter. If he reinjured himself after his quarters match, then W/D like a normal person. If someone asks you a question, tell the truth..shouldn’t be this much drama every time he enters a tournament
There is another angle that showed his mom just sitting and looking down (and crying) after the glasses moment. If you don't feel sympathy for her as a human there ... I don't know what to say.I am clearly in the minority, but I felt sorry for Spencer at NCAA's. I felt sorry for his mother when her emotional reaction went viral and resulted in the creation of hundreds of memes and jokes. I even felt sorry for Larry after about 5 minutes of his interview. Too long and Too many questions which led to some cringe-worthy moments. There.....I said it
I don't understand why they didn't just have HWC release a statement, not even having dad do the interview.I am clearly in the minority, but I felt sorry for Spencer at NCAA's. I felt sorry for his mother when her emotional reaction went viral and resulted in the creation of hundreds of memes and jokes. I even felt sorry for Larry after about 5 minutes of his interview.

A whole lot of people lose a lot more than Lee. A whole lo9t of parents don't act like this.There is another angle that showed his mom just sitting and looking down (and crying) after the glasses moment. If you don't feel sympathy for her as a human there ... I don't know what to say.

Too many posters here with ADHD / OCD can't drop a topic.My thought on Lee is if you don’t like it, don’t watch the interview or devote a 1000 posts about it.
Don't forget some tit-for-tat about whether or not that one post of mine was homertastic or not!Too many posters here with ADHD / OCD can't drop a topic.
Such as, there will still be a dozen or more posts about SL during the US Open finals tonight, along with another half dozen posts by freestyle haters dropping in to say "fReEsTyLe sUcKs i cAn'T uNdErStAnD tHe sCoRiNg!!"
[yawn emoji]
Pretty magical, cause this time he exited without losing too!!The drama doesn't come when he enters a tournament, just whenever he exits without winning it.
