If you dodge wrestlers and take matches off during the year, should you be considered for the Hodge?

If a football player, who is in the running for the Heisman, takes a game off against the best Defenses on their schedule they wouldn’t be considered.

There should also be a Dodge award for the highest ranked wrestler who ducks the most ranked openents. In theory if Gable gets caught, which is highly unlikely, Spencer could be in line for a twofer. (Dodge & Hodge)


PS - Qty of quality matches is taken into consideration. Snyder was potentially affected by this factor. If Spencer wrestlers only the 7 minimum matches as some are specialting, he will probably not win against Gable..... Or Starocci :)

IMO only wrestlers who have excelled at their weight thru the course of the entire season should be the only ones on the ballot. Sure a wrestler can miss a dual or 2 for an injury, but sitting out half a yr no matter how dominate they are that half, should not even be on the ballot.

So is Nick Lee out of the running because he just missed a match he could have wrestled because he was dinged? I hope not

It’s the Kyle Snyder rule. If Kyle Snyder didn’t win it the year he did spot duty, no one should
 
You just missed about 80% of the words in the original post.

Have you got your womb implantation surgery done yet so you can have Saint Spencer’s baby? I hear that’s a common procedure in Iowa hospitals right now?
Womb implantation to have Saint Spencer's baby? Wtf man

What makes you think the guys at WIN Magazine wouldn't simply give Spencer another top-secret Hawkeye bump like they did last year? Perhaps they can just give everyone a trophy?

I'd like to think that's still true, and it should be ... but can't help but wonder if last year created a new precedent -- that the voters are now enabled to claim a tie instead of making a decision.

I could very easily see Lee wrestling very few matches and having a higher Most Dominant score than Steveson due to quality of opponents (plus the lower-scoring nature of HWT vs. 125), and getting votes accordingly. Essentially this was the 2021 NL Cy Young vote: the winner was statistically more efficient, while the runner-up pitched 28% more innings -- which means he pitched deeper into games where pitchers become less efficient. Effectively, the winner was rewarded for facing a less difficult schedule.

Speaking of baseball: as far as other sports go, Rafael Palmeiro still has his Gold Glove.

Was Spencer dinged? Serious question.
Honestly, I don't know. Hopefully he is just on a pitch count due lack of ACLs. I'm worried about Warner, Murin and Kemerer aswell. Iowa will need all of them to repeat
 
What's wrong with Kemerer? (Besides arthritis)
Ask Tom Brands. He might tell you. 😉 I've heard a rumor but it's not worth repeating(friend of a friend). Unfortunetly odds are Iowa and Penn State don't make it to the post season completely healthy or with the 10 guys each team intended to take. The lineups in March could surprise us forsure

Between a brutal conference dual season, conference tourney, and Covid which will probably bite someone, I say the odds of PSU and Iowa fielding their top 10 starters fully healthy through nationals is less than 50%. Iowa aside from Marinelli last year has been pretty lucky. PSU over the last 4-5 years not so much - Suriano, Berge, Shak, Cassar, Conel, Cutch, Howard, Nolf...
 
Have no problem brands sitting spencer so he can be healthy to try to get his 4th, but if you only wrestle half a schedule compared to other hodge contenders who wrestle a full schedule, you have to be a infatuated homer to vote for the one who wrestles half.

Second, where have I ever said anything remotely like that?

You know you have a sick obsession with Iowa fans who obsess over Spencer lee, right? Your incessant talk about everyone’s fanboy over him makes you seem like a fanboy yourself. I mean, it’s not like people don’t build up Count Carl over here…yourself included. Then you go over to HR and try to play nice. You’re a weird son of a gun. Like some other people I can think of………

Hey chuckwagon go ask HR when they will let me back on will you I'm still banned. In other words HR members haven't grown a spine yet or they wouldn't be so afraid to debate. Oh and Spencer Lee isn't even close to being the best all time wrestler just saying
 
Why should I be deprived of all the entertainment on HR. I like dumpster fires and I relied on that forum for a few good laughs a week. In private of course I never laughed in anyone's face but still lol

So this weirdo bandwagon guy is all up in arms about a few St Spencer posts (I guess a few is incessant) when just a short search on HR turns up this gem from him:


Iowabandwagon said:
You literally have a guy over there who makes 50 usernames on this board talking about having Carl fix the youth Greco debacle. Let me repeat that…Carl fix GRECO. And here you are worried that Gable is still getting his shine on. Apparently, your coach could probably cure cancer but you already knew that. Gable deserves all the praise he gets and nobody even mentioned anybody else. What’s wrong with you? Go wax Carl’s head and while you’re at it, stroke the beard of Casey cunnilingus.”

Guy goes after our lovable Johnstown and Casey (of all people).

That guy has a lot of class, all of it low.
 
I still don’t know how Spencer tied Gable last year.

The HWT field was/is far better. If Gable goes undefeated this year, he should be the unanimous, sole winner.
 
Well..don’t go over to HR kissing everyone’s ass from now on, chickenshit testicles. Or should I pull up all of those posts compared to all of the ones over here? You’re a clown. El jeffy: psu fluffer like Johnstown (which is acceptable because you don’t go to hr and bend the knee). And district poor: who is better than Spencer? I can see Carl, I can see dake and I can see an argument for maybe (big maybe) 2 others but not even close? You’re a turd too. If Carl had no ACL’s, Paul jenn wouldn’t have been the only one to beat carlos. Those are just your envious psu ties blinding you. Spencer, if he wins 4, would be in an elite group of 5. How is that not close, moron? I’m from PA but I hate PA people. Bunch of cow shit huffers who don’t live in reality. Good luck with the world beater Bartlett and his impressive 1-0 victory who you all predicted to be on the podium. Haha. The worst part is that I respect the hell out of psu wrestlers, just not this message board. Darn, what will I ever do? Can’t wait for nationals.
Why do you beat around the bush so much? Tell them candidly how you really feel. They might completely understand & respond in a manner of benevolence towards your honest disposition. Worth a shot I'd say.
