Man, if Spencer Lee was so vulnerable and gassed you would think the #6 ranked wrestler would be able to take advantage of that! 

"Oh no, Spencer only beat his top 10 opponent by 6 and didn't give up any points besides an escape!"

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Quite a bit of season left... we'll see how it shakes out.

Three duals and B1G tourney right?

Sure. And, don't forget NCAA's... if the discussion is about vulnerability - it certainly includes the big show, too. 

Like I said, quite a bit of season left.

Glory will major Lee.

Like I said, "correct?" I wasn't challenging your take. It was a question? Take it easy...

What part of my post wasn't 'easy' enough for you?

The part where you commented...

Carry on.

LOL my guy he didn't respond to you. Double username syndrome?

NVM he is probably just excited.

Maybe true - but I was kind of hoping for a friendly wager with you.

One possible approach to beating Lee for a top 5 or 10 wrestler.

1. Slow down and stall (if necessary) for the first period. Better to give up stall points (e.g., play the edge) than takedowns or turns.

2. Give up no more than 6 points to Lee in the first (or 8 tops). Coaches and fans should push for arm bars to be ruled as potentially dangerous

3.  Choose top in the second.

4.  Ride Lee very hard.  Tire him as much as you can.

5.  Keep him from scoring a TD if he escapes. Stall if necessary.

6.  Take Lee to the 3rd period.

7.  Wrestle your butt off.  Get a TD or two as Lee tires. Yes, it's possible.

8.  Go for a cradle or another big move (cow catcher; Turk).  Try to win on points or a pin or even going to OT (Has Lee ever been in an OT match?)

Easier said than done.  It helps if you have some length, a good gas tank, and some flexibility to avoid arm bars.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. I appreciate you offering your opinion but you offered literally nothing of substance. An absolute nothing of a post.

Ummm.. sounds like you were thanking me for my insight? right? That's how I took it.

If not - then maybe it was a "nothing of a post" by you.

You decide and let us know - that would be good substance.

I'm sorry you don't understand sarcasm. I wish you were smarter. I hope those close to you encourage you to be a continuous learner.

Lee will wrestle 1-2 matches at B10s and then MFF out. It won’t hurt his seed, he will lock up the #1 seed.

You may be right, I probably don't 'sont' you. But thanks for that post with real substance (maybe sarcasm.)

Nicely done. (Or is that sarcasm?)

I bet Spencer Lee meets or exceeds his seed. Do you think the Missouri wrestling team will do the same?

To be fair to @GreatWhiteNorth I'm pretty sure he at least knows how to correctly spell, 'fish"
