I am good with Guinness and a home grown ribeye, cooked medium rare! I’ll throw in a good bourbon and some @hlstone cheesecake for dessert!
I don’t consider myself a senior poster, but I recognize a good deal when I see it!

I don't know about ... He was pushing off of his heels pushing/bridge like motion. Picc really locked it tight!
1. His health had nothing to do with today’s match period. He did a split and got cradled same thing happened to Megaludis a few years ago he lost the match but didn’t get stuck.
2. I hope he gets healthy as I hope to see him represent the US for many years to come.
3. HR has several posters that are clueless period. Lack of experience actually taking the mat is obvious.
Maybe it was getting bounced R12 last year and having his last two matches of 2018 ending by Pin and TF but something is motivating Picc like no other .... he's literally a different animal this year.
He's well on pace to be a Hodge Finalist if he keeps this up (28-0, 80% + Bonus Rate, just packed the returning champ)

Spencer vs Picc rematch is gonna be fun!
I sure hope Roger's is in the Cowboys lineup for nationals. Really want to watch him in Pittsburgh

1. I agree, I think he was gassed after the first but didn’t have any bearing on him getting cradled up. He’s been vulnerable quite a bit this year in that splits position. Picc had it locked up a couple times last year in the dual but couldn’t do anything with it.
2. Agreed
3. Agreed, the quality and knowledge of posters there has gone down over the last couple of years and is often unbearable to read.
I was watching PSU match and flipped just in time for Lee's 2nd period. For the lumps Iowa took, I still think they wrestle tough. For Tom to say they need to get in better shape he's going to kill them because to a man it appeared they pushed to the end. AD wrestled tough, though Fix would have a td fest but was wrong. If you're going to wrestle a Hawkeye you better be ready to 7 min's IMO.
On the plus side- Lugo a finalist again.

Karma is a BITC*!
No, I’m still waiting on confirmation of McDonough and Clark’s injuries their Senior years.
The bottom line is you guys have no idea whether he had mono or not.
Yeah, that’s the bottom line. The only “confirmation” is Ironside saying on the radio earlier in the season that he had a “mono-like illness.”
He won ten matches between losses and looked fine. I agree SL is an all around better wrestler than most but it isn't out of the question that some of the 125 lbers are catching up to him .people are not wrestling scared like they used to .he is going to face some stiff challenges in the near future whether he's sick or nkt

HR told me there'd be days like this
That would be Steve Grace, the “non-homer” who consistently refers to Iowa and Iowa’s wrestlers as “we” “us” and “our”, as in, Weigel has our leg. Lol.

i hear you know a guy named Spyker? there's $250 in it for me. well,
I don't know Lee or anyone on the Hawk program, so I'm not taking any position on this. However, I do remember about 20 years ago that Darrell Vasquez from CA and Cal Poly had a promising career ahead of him where he had already made it as an AA in college. Everything was cut short because he contracted a mono like illness that does not go away. I don't remember what it was called, but he eventually had to leave school and I don't think he ever competed again. Very sad story, and I sure hope that Lee isn't dealing with something similar.
How had Lee's match proceeded prior to the pin?
aaah, I see it now. Scoreless 1st; 2nd - Pic escapes, and gets td into fall

The guy who was on KXIC? Yeah, he can describe the action, but Cowbell nailed it, every match was the Poke "has our leg." Our leg.
The NBC Notre Dame crew thinks that guy is homertastic.
Nobody claimed David Taylor had mono either when he put his head to close to his knee against Jenkins and paid for it.
It's important to be good in all 4 positions.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), also known as human herpesvirus 4, is a member of the herpes virus family. It is one of the most common human viruses. EBV is found all over the world. Most people get infected with EBV at some point in their lives. EBV spreads most commonly through bodily fluids, primarily saliva. EBV can cause infectious mononucleosis, also called mono, and other illnesses.
Lee looks exhausted but the larger issue might be how limited he is offensively. He scores with his firemans/kelly action from neutral but struggles when an opponent won't give him a handle. He is the best at his tilt I have ever seen, but not much else on top. College wrestling can become cruel to guys who lack diversity in attacks. He will still maul 95% of college wrestlers at his weight, but imo will struggle with the best couple of guys because of lack of scoring in other ways. A guy like Bo or Nolf can create offense from so many different attacks you simply can't scout your way to a close match without deciding to run. Bull has some of the same issues- Good leg attack and a mean chin whip, but he isn't going to surprise you with a bunch of strong kung fu you weren't prepared to counter attack. Spencer could use a Casey Cunningham to open up additional scoring and so could the Bull.
This is exactly what I've been saying. If you sit down and say, "how do we game plan for Spencer Lee?" you can sit down and write down about three very specific things you need to do to beat him. And then if you go out there and execute your game plan you can beat him.
Then you take a guy like Jason Nolf. Try sitting down and writing down a game plan for beating him.
Whenever I say that Spencer Lee is not dynamic, this is what I mean. Jason Nolf is dynamic. He can wrestle you any way he wants and win.
That and the Casey Cunninghams of the world are scouting Lee...those scouting reports have greatly closed he gap on Lee for those who can take advantage of them. Big reason whey Joseph beat IMar.
Tom and Terry were great but certainly not diverse or dynamic or whatever word fits best. M* was not great and even less dynamic. Where would Spencer get help in this area? It will have to come from outside that cave.
Spencer may need to do the Snyder thing. When stuck, spend a week in State College with the PSU staff and learn.
Stieber is the closest college comparison to Lee style wise, and he wasn't exactly renowned for a dizzying array of attacks. Even his coach said his matches were "double, bar, pin." He did a few things extraordinarily well.
Zain also said he didn't care if everyone knew what he was going to do. because they couldn't stop him.
No need to over-think this to death. Usually the simplest solution is the best one. Don't put your head near your knee.

Lee is an outdoors man and a hunter--could very well be Lyme disease--I hope not, he is one HECK OF A TALENT
I agree with you Jefe, but.....
All of the best we have see developed a new set of tools as time went by. Taylor was a crab ride beast in year one, and by senior year, used it maybe a 3rd of the time. Zain, everyone knew what was coming....bow and arrow...which did not exist in his freshman year. Instead you got wrecked by a leg ride and a trip to the MRI booth from the accompanying power half. Joseph is definitely not the same wrestler today and neither was Tank from beginning to end. They all look different as they acquire new tools and gain mature muscle. It isn’t just the experience of wrestling. It’s what is applied applied from the experience.
If course wrestling is basic and foundational. It doesn’t matter what they expect if you execute and impart will but those athletes are the best because they can change their game.
When they don’t change....well, then we have a good array of examples I don’t really need to provide names.
that is a very good possibility, everyone has a ceiling. it just seems to me that SL has had gas tank issues this year, and I do not recall him having these issues in the past. It could also be that SL is not thieving in his new environment, maybe the pressure is getting to him, maybe his training is not what it should be.
