Spencer Lee Promises Iowa Will Be 2020 National Champions!

Fa

Fair points and I dont fully disagree, I personally feel we have only seen the tip of the iceberg with Spencer. Yanni could be #1 on that list their body of work has not yet been seen lots of things could change. All great things for Wrestling I will take SL.

I certainly hope both of these young studs and several others have a ton of international success. I do think the door is more open for the lightweights than for a Mark Hall. Bo, Nolf, ZV, and any other guy competing where we have a world champion in the path.

Here is another question who has a larger overall impact lifetime on the Fingerlakes region wrestling and Cornell Dake or Yanni? I say Dake
Here are 2 "ii"s, please use them before Nerf has an aneurism.;)

But doesn't that argument diminish Spencer's perceived impact? Iowa was already Iowa.
 
First off if that is the best post you can make stop posting because its not a good look for you. And what if Zain keeps betting Yianni then what would you say.
Zain doesn’t seem like the short selling type, much less a gambler, but he’s also generational. I’m just happy you edited your last post to get Diakomihalis’ name right, or I was going to have to hit you with another Nickal gif.:D

Yeah I was a bit slow there duly noted.

He certainly could've had fun and fired up the crowd without using those same words, predicting a victory. Poor choice of words on his part, in my opinion.
I rarely post on here being a Hawkeye fan and all but I have to call this out as I have seen this guy be just as big a homer as some of the guys on HR. This might be one of the dumbest posts someone could write. Read it again and tell me I'm wrong.
 
The future, Senior Level, has yet to be written for both Yianni and Spencer. I'll always root for the NLWC guys, but for these two, the skies the limit.
Both are classy guys that have and will represent the USA well. Their legacy will be wins and losses, however, as that's how guys are remembered.

It's dumb but I know you've read Ironbrains post on the HR and it's no where close to as dumb as the stuff he post. It's also no where close to as dumb as Grip saying Iowa will shutout PSU this year in the dual. Also don't forget that someone predicted that Iowa would score 170 at nationals last year.

Why all the Hawk fans here lately? Are you guys in the middle of reinventing wrestling or something?

That God damned 3 inch binder is gonna be the death of us...

To be fair, I think it was their "million dollar donor" that predicted the 170 points at nattys. I mean his wrestling knowledge does seem rather suspect but I'd say they would be foolish to call him out on it.

Fair enough :D. What donor was that?

Don't you remember 170 pt talk here last March?
 
LMAO! This is great! Reminds me of tOSU's arrogance and smack talk two years ago. Why is it that these challengers are so cocky while the Champions who have won 8 of 9 remain humble and grateful? The answer is coaching, plain and simple.

Does this hurt your feelings? Is it OK for Bo to talk about PSU winning titles, but not Spencer? You can't have it both ways.

Also, he's a kid that's speaking to a stadium full of Hawk fans. What did you want him to say, "Buy your tickets now to watch the Hawkeye's finish behind Penn State at Nationals!"

I don't have a problem with what Spencer said, but there is a huge difference between what he and Bo said. Bo said it after winning his 3rd and 4th team title not as a prediction.
 
I forget his name. I havent been on HR lately since Mike "I bend to the crybabies because I have no balls" Zierath banned me again. I'll check later when I have time.

I thought that you posted as T.A.J. on HR. Is that not you?

Well I figure you guys have been over on HR for so many years making your “points”. Whats good for the goose... Plus I wanted to see where everyones thoughts were outside HR on some preseason topics.
 
What are you guys talking about? Is it worth talking about? #ihatereadingaboutHR

Each base has their overboard fans I will agree. I live in the real world when it comes to how many points we will score at nationals or shutting out PSU in a dual. I'm just saying this guy has a history of making stupid comments galore. I get being a fanboy, and yes Iowa has theirs as well, and cracking jokes or making a funny all in good fun, but some posters just believe everything they type.

P.S. Isn't this the guy that lost a bet, had to wear a Hawkeye shirt, and then put it on under another shirt? Maybe even a PSU shirt? Sounds about right.
 
The difference is Iowa had actually scored 170 and Penn State has not

I'd say anyone predicting 170 is delusional (or at least has unrealistic expectations).

But, the people predicting it for the team that has scored at least 120 for the past 4 years are slightly less delusional than the people predicting it for the team that hasn't scored 100 in 8 years.
 
Back then, scoreboard operators chiseled updates into a giant stone.
Hmm I did not see either one of you two backing up your BS on the Wager thread.
And atleast you guys have added humor and have valid points. Some of you should be calling out your more illegitimate posters ( rassling). We call out each other on HR but that guy makes everyone look bad.

1) I'm sorry I made you sad when I brought up your shutout prediction. The good news on that prediction is the dual will happen this year and we'll see how close you were.
2) I have 21 post on this board so I would hardly consider myself a "BWI poster". I enjoy reading BWI because they do call out posters for bad takes and are pretty welcoming to other fan bases.
3) Thanks for the chuckle saying that the HR calls each other out o_O
 
170 at NCAA's is not the goal. Even some here predicted PSU to be close last year, which I guess was possible if the stars aligned...though frankly it wasn't important.

The landscape is different than 1997, and I may not see 170 or more in my lifetime. Fine with me, as the odds are great that I'll see more National Championships.
 
No overreaction on my part at all. Since when does 'shake my head' mean outrage? And how is it misguided hyperbole? Big deal, I said everyone likes that we have 'fun', doubt that that is far from the truth. You want to play word games, have fun with that. My point was that the original poster is making something out of nothing. Maybe I should check with you in the future before I post...

Can you check with me, too? I'm gonna approve it but just check with me anyway.
