D3UC157 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I’m sure Spencer will get his fill of lauding at NCAAs by all fanbases. That seems like the appropriate time. (Steiber was going for 4, can’t imagine a standing ovation for him at PSU) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightweight Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 20 hours ago, SocraTease said: Quite frankly, that is the way I recall it-- that the crowd was rooting for DeSanto and his "vision quest" upset. In fact, I've heard Lee say in an interview that it was one of the only times that the crowd was rooting against him and booing him. Maybe it was because a PA guy (Lee) was going to Iowa (while DeSanto was staying in the state and going to Drexel). Maybe it was because DeSanto was getting after it and it appeared like Lee was stalling (which he was). Lee was spent and barely hanging on. I know I was rooting for DeSanto and the upset at the time. Here's the match: Thanks for the link. I think we can agree to disagree on this one. You were rooting for DeSanto and I was rooting the Lee, the WPIAL guy (plus the history), so we probably both saw/heard what we wanted to see/hear. (I will, however, point out that your guy was wearing the black singlet. Just sayin'...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you were in attendance as was I, how long was Spencer on the mat after his hand was raised? I was on my feet applauding, and before you knew it Spencer was gone and it was on to the next match. The booing before the match I was not a fan of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fan's reaction in Iowa City is almost identical to the reaction of the PSU crowd. Your statement is factually incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there and there were plenty of Iowa fans who stood up and clapped, including myself. Same thing happened for Ed the following match.

Wrestleknownothing Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 How many of the Iowa fans were applauding Moore not getting teched or pinned? Gibbons seemed to think that was noteworthy as he mentioned it twice. From that video there is no way to know who was clapping, how many were clapping, or what they were clapping for. 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw you edited your response to me before i had a chance to respond. I will reaffirm that @82bordeauxis correct that Spencer Lee received the same post match response from fans at the BJC as did David Taylor at Carver based on the YouTube video Bordeaux recommended to watch.

There was booing for pretty much every Iowa wrestler. I don't approve. I think it is classless to be honest. What I was talking about is that there was no more of a standing ovation for David Taylor in that video than there was applause after Spencer won. It was pretty much the same. Totally unremarkable.

JeanGuy Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 This whole thing is crazy. I thought the whole Steveson victory lap last year was weird. It wasn't this longtime great capping off a tremendous career. This was a college kid saying I am not coming back and taking the money. All that is fine but it certainly doesn't need to celebrated. As to Lee, I was at the dual and it never even occurred to me to give a standing ovation. He is a super senior finishing his college wrestling career in a few months. Should Penn State have provided a gift like cities did during the Kareem retirement tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragit Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 There are several moving parts here. I don't think there was much of a cheer for Taylor in Carver. Nothing remotely like Steveson. Which makes sense. 1. Closer, big dual vs ended, not competitive dual. 2. College star vs someone who just won a gold medal for the good old USA. The times that the fans tend to give those types of ovations are at Big Tens and NCAAs. Which makes sense since they aren't home crowds cheering for one team to trounce the other in a head to head dual, and since it's the end of the season, a better place for a summation. I remember Taylor getting a big ovation from the crowd a few weeks later at Big Tens after he beat Moore again there, including from Iowa fans, it was pretty cool. The video is here, they cut it off after a few seconds but it's already starting and building before the tape ends. (This is actually just an excuse to watch the incredible Taylor move at the 6:00 mark, which triggered some of the fullest oohs and aahs I've ever heard at a match.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
