Lee wrestling today?

[Perry]

Did he not weigh in? Does he still get a medal even if he doesn't show up at weight to start the day? 

[Kov88]

Honest question, is it his knees still?

Still wondering the status of Iowa’s team points if he doesn’t make weight by not stepping on the scale.  Does medical FF nullify that issue?

I don’t know. How much you want to bet he has another torn ACL? In my experience, when you have kids that have multiple ACL repairs and continue to wrestle, it’s not if they will tear it again, but when. I highly doubt he is not wrestling just because of ego.

...and if he won last night?  Would he med ff today or wrestled?

We all know that answer especially with it being for 4. Be nice to see him show this afternoon to get some applause from the crowd for his career accomplishments and see his team try to push to hold on the 2nd place.

What if a kid gets knocked out in the semi-finals, or breaks an arm---we've all seen horrific injuries throughout the years.  Do they expect those wrestler to get up out of their hospital bed and come to weigh-in?  

Now--with that all said, 5 minutes after the match last night I stated that was the last time we'd see Lee wrestle in college. No way he comes back the next day......not being prophetic, just that many of us have seen this in the past and just sort of knew...

Excuses are for…GOATs???

Uber maybe taking awhile to get him to the arena. Mom wasn’t cleared to legally drive him in this morning.

Tag Drake in I’m sure he’s up for wrestling whenever he can. 

I believe Dake is now too young to wrestle in college.

[CHROMEBIRD]

Spencer doesn't owe anyone anything after all he's done for the sport and us fans, but he should have at least gone out and finished what he started, and do it for himself. Brands was right that he needed to move on from the loss and I agree that showing up today would've helped him to process and heal from it. MFF only gives power to the haters and allows the loss to fester in him.

Re-watch the match. See if you can pick up on leg problems early in the match. Watching it as it happened it appeared to me he was having problems with both legs. Knee or whatever, he did not have the drive with then as usual.

No surprise he is too hurt to wrestle today.

Getting beat will do that to ya.

Good joke but it’s Drake as is Ayala not Dake. The guy that got blow back for not bowing out to Lee in the finals of the Soldier Salute event.

opps - my reading comprehension needs work.  And my glasses are perfectly ok.

I bet Ayala’s mom now feels vindicated for her take on “selfish Spencer”

I agree, but are you sure he would get applause? For some reason he got booed his HS senior year at states and that still bothers him. Fans can be brutal and it seems like a lot of people are upset about him MFF out

[gimpeltf]

That used to be the rule, but not anymore.  In the past, not making weight at any point of the tourney resulted in all team points being voided.  I recall Joe LeBlanc from Wyoming getting a 'pass' on the rule when he missed weight on the final day in Philly (2011).  I believe the rule was formally changed after that season.

I think farther back than that. I think I was still working the event. My last year was 2006. I remember a discussion of telling the appropriate people prior to the morning weigh in. It did involve an Iowa kid.

As long as Spencer takes the podium with the other 125s I have no problem with any of it (not that my opinion really matters in the grand scheme). Now if he big times the podium tonight… that’s a tough look.

The boos were loud, but I hope Lee understands and remembers that most at states were cheering or at least not booing.  

I predict a huge ovation when he makes an appearance.

Is this his retirement?

would not surprise me even a little bit...

[Formally140]

I don’t relish it. At all. I’ve actually defended his decision to wrestle at Iowa.. 
 

but I’m not shocked he lost. Kinda figured if he lost it would be exactly like that. I also figured he wouldn’t show up. Is what it is. 
 

He wrestled with a bit of an entitled attitude this season that made him even more vulnerable in my opinion. 

I hope I lose my sig bet with Bnt, but I was right about Lee so far

[Scouts Honor]

everyone all year: why are they making him wrestle,he is hurt, iowa sucks...such a grind

today

man lee is such a pussy
