I really enjoyed the Spencer Lee era

[Wrassler]

Knees are not good! No way he wins internationally 

[CHROMEBIRD]

Can Spencer can still get to 100 on the backside? If so we will see him wrestle consis.

[Grecojones]

So Less be getting beat by Greco techniques for a while now. Sebastian Rivera beat him on body locks, and this season Ramos threw him… how the bell did T&T not game plan for this?

Does Lee go again tonight or does mom have time tomorrow morning to hit up LensCrafters?

Yes if he takes third

No, he's not the GOAT. It's past time for the Hawkeye fans to recognize that what Tom Brands said about Spencer Lee being the best wrestler of all time was MOTOVATIONAL. Spencer Lee is a fantastic wrestler, a beast, a hammer; everyone knows this, and nobody denies it. He is NOT the GOAT, not at the NCAA level and certainly not at the global level in men's freestyle. I hope he finishes the tournament and gets third in his usual dominating fashion. It will help him get over this loss. I hope his knees are strong enough to wrestle for the 57kg spot on the US team. I believe that if he's healthy, he has a good shot at it. Rest well, Spencer. Life is long, and in the scheme of things, this is a big bump that you will recover and bounce back from.

At NCAAs, you never wrestle in the same session following a top-side loss.

Ah, that's good... Mom wouldn't want to miss seeing Spencer in the consolation bracket. Good luck going for 3rd, Spencer! 

[D3 for LU]

Ah, give the kid a break... he lost biggly to Ramps.

I'm thinking Glory will be favored Sat. nite.

(Though, Ramos will make a game contest of it.)

Would be nice to see Lee get to 100 even if it's not the way he planned. But if he doesn't show up, that's fine too. Let him go on Spring Break, kick up his legs, sip on some Margaritas on the beach and be a college kid for a change.

[Wrassler]

Glory will win by four or more! Pat just destroyed a game Cronin!

Relax. When Brands and the fanbase call Spencer the goat it is actually just a coping mechanism.

I feel bad for the other entries at the US Open. It’s going to be a slaughter.

[Formally140]

Lee had been wrestling with the dangerous type of arrogance and bully boy attitude that always makes me think a guy can be beaten when someone can find a way to stay in a match with them.. did I think it’d be Ramos.. no. I honestly thought he’d just fizzle out on the Senior Circuit. But I’m not surprised either 

When I suggested that he was a bully boy wrestler who’s cardio would be looked at much differently if he wasn’t a Hawkeye and other reasons.. I got screeched at.

Nah

[headshuck]

I don’t think so. If he gets a TD, against elite freestylers, he won’t have enough time to get his arm bars and tilts setup.

I’ll take these bets. I don’t know about tomorrow but I do know about April. It’s going to be a bloodbath.

I don’t do bets. And I just own it if I’m wrong. But his bully style wrestling is not a fit for the Senior Circuit 

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

Does this put Spencer behind Logan Stieber in the pantheon of college greats?  I think it has to since 4 > 3 even if Lee won is 3 in more dominant fashion.

2. Dake

3. Lee

4. Uetake

5. Stieber

Lee is behind Nolf, Nickal, etc.

Getting decked in a semi-final drops him way, way down.

How’s about a friendly wager. Obviously only so long as Lee shows up.

If Lee wins the US Open, you make your sig “I was wrong about Spencer Lee and I can’t wait to see him take out Gilman on June 10”

If Lee doesn’t win, what should I put for my sig?

[Pinnacle]

Lee ain't top ten now. The way he won is great, but too many bad losses.

No.  He definitely is.  I challenge you to list 10 you'd put in front of him.
