Not the first time we have heard it. Very cool...now I can take something stupid over to HR and apply it to all PSU fans ;)

Hey Spyker...might want to look at Larry Lee's resume. More than qualified for the job. One might even say he probably took a step down in pay from Carnegie Mellon to Coe.

Tom Brands went up to Coe College with his version of Luca Brasi (M*) and Vito Corleone'd Coe's President..."Made him an offer he couldn't refuse." Spyker...you are the gift that keeps on giving.
spyker is doing his best to undermine the Hawkeye program...
 
Nothing harsh just a bunch of guys around Nico talking about it at the match on Friday.....Thank God we have Cael and a clean program...None of my business for real but i would not want to be questioned...JMO
Nico's reaction:

Do you remember Nico's record against Matt McD? You really ought to meet Thomas sometime. Really nice fella

I'm sure you are right about Gilman, but that does not excuse his behavior on the mat. Also, I don't see what the fact t
He didn't just make those up. He's been making up stuff like this for a long time.

Bingo, basically spyker is full of it, and as a Penn State fan I personally am embarrassed by his behavior over and over again.

Mr Lee worked at CMU while Spencer was at Franklin Regional, which is an elite university.

It sounds to me like he has the resume & qualifications to get a solid university position almost anywhere on his own merit.

Spyker has been doing whippits again.
 
"Coe College President David McInally has appointed Larry Lee as the new vice president for facilities and operations. In this role, Lee will have overall responsibility for all campus facilities and grounds, Kohawk athletics and food service.

Lee has worked in various administrative positions in higher education for more than two decades, including service at the University of Denver, Allegheny College and Carnegie Mellon University. During his career he has held positions of increasing responsibility at colleges and universities, including director of athletics and recreation, associate vice president, senior associate vice president, and vice president for finance and administration."
 
I picture him walking around the room like he's DuPont at Foxcatcher...

Ugh...you used the D word. Almost like using the "S" word.

But yea, I picture him walking around outside looking in the windows. He was in the same bldg as Nico when he was talking about Larry Lee's plum deal...therefore, Nico must agree.

VP at school A hired as VP at school B. Clearly Brands made this happen.

To preface this, I'm not a Hawkeye fan. I grew up in Ames and was a big ISU fan until Cael left and Jackson ran the program into the ground. Now I spend more time on PSU boards that ISU. I worked at the University of Iowa for years and now work across the street from Coe. My son has practiced in both the Coe room and Carver Hawkeye.

Coe is a small liberal arts college 30mins from Iowa City. It makes zero sense that a small liberal arts college, with its own wrestling team, and limited budget, would somehow have the money or the desire to scheme with Tom Brands so he can get a top wrestling recruit. Yes, Spencer's dad got a good VP job at Coe. Fortunate timing for him and the family. But to suggest this is some nefarious
scheme by the Hawkeyes to pay Spencer seems like quite the stretch. This is one conspiracy theory that you guys should probably let go.

Unless somebody can prove these accusations I recommend they keep their mouth shut. With all that has went down at PSU over the last 5-6 years I always cringe extra hard at PSU fans throwing allegations around with absolutely no proof that they are true.

Again, in this case, singular. As in one.

Probably way off the mark here, it's a long shot I know, but what if the confident, competent, young wrestler has a confident, competent father?
Even a further stretch, but what if all of us, achieved spyker's goal and are talking about him again? There are so many better discussions worth reading than this nonsense.
 
I understand that, but this is not the first time I've seen a PSU fan do this on a Rivals message board. We, as a fan base, should all know better than anyone the value of not making outlandish claims if there is no evidence to back them up.
Again it is spyker...3/4 of the board has him on ignore so they can't condemn him. Other than 2 posters this board is as sane as any on the internet.
 
Has anybody ever seen Spyker and JustWrestle133 posting at the same time?

Not implying anything, but you can infer whatever you want.

No. I respect every program to a certain degree....Just stating what i was hearing from very reliable sources at the match....Oh well none of my business anyway...I am just pumped and getting ready for Okla State....Hope to see EVERYONE there cheering our butts off for the National Dual Championship....
 
Has anyone on here ever met SPYKER? The claims and background don't line up with his nonsense, spelling, grammar or insanity.

I think a reference to what he's seeing in "practice" appears in virtually all of his posts....making his posts read very similar (as in, if you've read one, you've pretty much read them all).

Follow the correlation here. Larry Lee went from working at Microsoft (CMU) to a small startup (Coe) because he can and he's obviously very invested in his son's career. Why do you care? Suriano not good enough for you? Support the team. Write your memoirs on the inner workings of the program, support Cutch because that Cassar ship sailed weeks ago, and otherwise STFU.

Parents want to see their son, a special talent, compete in college. Dad looks for jobs in general area of son’s school. Applies for and gets a job for which he is eminently qualified.
Good for them.
Wish them the best.
Nothing but respect for them....Just stating facts...No biggie....Have known Larry for probably close 15 years from going to wrestling tournaments with my own son....

By any chance was your "very reliable source" at the Maryland match more reliable about Larry Lee's hiring than Larry Lee himself?

So who are these "others in the know," who would have factual knowledge -- not just speculation -- about Brands' involvement with a hiring at another school?

President of Coe College sitting in your section of Rec Hall? Terry Brands? Mrs. Lee?

True friends of Spencer's dad call him Lar or Double L. You must not know him very well
