Will he actually stand on the podium for his 6th place finish? It will be interesting to see if it happens.
Spencer Lee forfeiting out the rest of the tourney.

Is it wrong of me to wish Spencer would have got decked tonight instead of last night?
Yes! Lol, the sooner the better for me. Plus then we have the drama of the family leaving.
Losing last night helps those of us who argued with Iowa fans that Nolf was the better wrestler. 4 finals vs 3.
Thought that would happen. He did the same thing his freshman year when he lost to Ronnie Bresser at Midlands. Medical forfeit out on the backside. People were complaining about it then. He then came out of redshirt that year and won NCAA's.
It’s normal for anybody to check out of a hotel on the last day of a tournament, right?
Meh...I don't care about that. Would have enjoyed it more seeing them make Spencer's match the last one and he proceeds to get decked. Just like in movies, I think the "fire works" are best saved for last. Lol
I was having a conversation unrelated to Spencer. It was before he lost. It was actually about Bo Bassett because we passed on the escalator.
I was saying the spotlight is fun when you’re winning. But it cuts like a knife when you are on the other side. You have to have the mettle to live in the spotlight both times. He’s not the first champ to fall, he won’t be the last.

This weekend does put that argument to rest, doesn't it? Don't worry Iowa's js will be around to tell you Spencer's career was superior because, well because he says so.
Not if they planned to stay for the coronation ceremony that would go late into the night. Drive home in the morning.
I'm friends with Bos uncle. He went to Nationals but still was there for workouts. Those kids live it 24/7.
A friend said hopefully Larry is driving, his wife can’t see and son has no legs!
I know, I know, I am terrible for sharing….

A friend? You mean Warners mom?
Looks like he's on the mat for 5th? There you go Spencer. Way to handle it. I'll be sure to stand up and applaud when he steps on the podium tonight. No booing this time through.
Edit: This is not what happened, Lee hasn't made an appearance.

He showed up, walked out onto the mat, shook his opponent's hand and mff. He did it the right way and I respect that.
Edit: Unfortunately, this is wrong. That was Brands on the side of the mat, not Lee.

Really first I heard of it. Glad he did that it shows not only respect for himself and his teammates but also for the great sport of wrestling.
No, and was bouncing around prior and pacing. I almost thought he was going to go.
You did deserve it… they’re obviously hurting and you chose to pile on… calling one of the greatest of all time 'soft' was classless and unnecesssary…
The beauty is they’re banning folks for saying the things their coaches scream at the opponents for 7 minutes every match.
How’s Ironturd handling things? Madder than a judo mom at a wrestling match, I reckon.
Hoping someone tries to put a pair of broken glasses on the 6th place podium spot tonight.

Are you sure that wasn’t Brands warming up? I saw the same thing on TV but pretty sure it was Brands warming up for Plott.
Lee was not there. I just went back and watched.
Yeah, I was watching MatCast and initially thought it was Spencer warming up. Ended up being Brands
Right. He didn't show for the consi semis, why would he show for the 5th place match.
Contrast Spencer with Mekhi Lewis who signed autographs for the Nebraska kids before heading into the tunnel after losing to Labriola last night.
I'm banned so I didn't participate in any of the extracurricular activities last night on hr. I did cringe a few times as I thought maybe what was said was a little over the top. I also know by reading threads on that forum that most of hr brought this on themselves. Alas, this isn't about hr this is about us and I'm glad I didn't run it in. Bad karma to begin with. As for Lee losing, this was one of the craziest national tournaments I have ever watched. Anyone and everyone was going down and even RBY was behind at some point as was all of our freshman. I continue to get a whole new level of respect for these young men and the sacrifices they make along with their families to get to this point. I really enjoyed watching Levi's post match interview and how he shared how much time and effort was put into his development. That sense of gratitude from PSU wrestlers is what stands out the most when they are in the lime light. We Are
Hence my confusion. Someone on the Spencer forfeited out of the tournament thread specifically said he walked on the mat and forfeited but nobody mentioned it here?
Agree with every word here.
I just love the irony of the supposedly level-headed folks on that board banning folks for saying exactly what their coach himself says every match and every minute.
? I watched him pacing at the side of the mat, take off his sweatshirt and walk out and shake hands? I haven't even gotten into the whiskey yet.
Maybe, but I don't so. I'll rewind after the Bartlett and SVN matches. If so, I'll own my mistake. Stand by.
You sir, are correct. That was Brands. Damn, maybe I should start on the whiskey? I'll edit my previous post.
