So, he lost and hung it up. Just own that you want to be butthurt about it. In English this is what we call moving the goalposts. You were indignant bc “Nobody ever forfeits out of NCAA’s, but Spencer did because be’s a special level of quitter!” rather than an injured athlete being smart, which is a very regular occurrence, yes even at NCAA’s. You now have proof. The other athletes who are a “special level of quitter” from that year are Peyton Robb, Trent Muñoz and Trent Hilger. All elite quitters over the course of their careers clearly.

Not butthurt that he quit, trust me. I actively root against the Hawks. My point is, would he have wrestled in the national finals or not? Yes or no? If the answer is yes, then he should have finished the tournament. Period.
AgaveMaria Posted March 13 Posted March 13 "Spencer Lee...who sacrificed who knows how many ACL's |" He only has four. Two on each knee. As for him quitting - he did it. Brooks is a different story. He was not beaten, totally humiliated with his mommy becoming an Internet Sensation with a possible future as an eyeglass model looming - he did what the coach said to protect the knee. T&T did not come out and say Spence was injured. Basically they played turtle over it. 1 ” Never attribute to inspiration that which can be adequately explained by delusion”.
SocraTease Posted March 14 Posted March 14 5 hours ago, Rassling said: Unrelated, another interview with a PSU a few weights up just happened. Most interesting to me is what he said about Cael coming to his school and asking his teammates about who in the room hates to lose, etc. Cael is a special dude on and off the mat. It's the quiet, efficient, polite killers you have to watch out for. Like "No Country for Old Men". Nolf, Sanderson, Zain, Stieber, Kerk, etc. Off the mat, as chill as a calm cat can be. On the mat, everyone is just prey. 1

"Just have me wrestle every single kid in the bracket one by one and I’ll take them all out inside three days. That’s the same plan. I think it’s more enjoyable this way." If the brackets came out like that do you think he would have complained? Or would he have been stoked? Edited March 14 by fishbane

This is the result I’m expecting out of Carter @ 100%.

I also don't think he could beat the other 32 guys in a 3 day period. He barely wrestled 32 matches in two years and now he says he will do it in 3 days? In reality he wouldn't need to complain Cael and PSU would do it on his behalf. 1

This year results against NCAA opponents based on their Seeds: MD over #1 Lewis Dec over #6 R. Welsh TF over #10 Incontrera MD over #12 Kennedy ***TF over Wittlake who I believe was ranked #7 at the time Pretty impressive results from the notorious staller Edited March 14 by PortaJohn I Don't Agree With What I Posted

And they do different things. Both types of cruciate ligaments (ACL and PCL) help to control the front to back movement of the knee. The collateral ligaments (MCL and LCL) control the side to side knee movement. Craig Henning got screwed in the 2007 NCAA Finals.

But now that you mention: that dec over true freshman Welsh isn't bonus points either. Nor is Kennedy a top 10 seed. The Lewis match didn't count. Do you think he will bonus Lewis next week? Because what I read in the post that I responded to was that he was going to bonus guys like Bo Bassett did at PA states. Bassett went pin, pin, tech, tech. You really think Carter is going to do that? Edited March 14 by Interviewed_at_Weehawken

As for Lee..if he was hurt, then no he didnt quit. If not, he did..I don't know 1
