Lol you know why

Why would he?

Oh. Good one.

Who did he duck?

Who from Iowa has ducked this year?

Since we are digging up old coaching vids, can anyone post the video of Cael crying, throwing a chair, and getting kicked out of the World Team Trials? I believe it was 2019 right after David Taylor lost to J'den.

If you're saying Iowa fans booed DT, you weren't there.

Wrong. 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. The PSU section was maybe 30 people. 82bordeaux said it was the same response as PSU gave Spencer, so to quote him, his statement is factually incorrect

Please point out in this video where Iowa fans booed DT. I am hearing claps after he majors Moore in Carver.

Oh yea, because we always see a ton of 10 pushout tech falls in freestyle, right?

DT nailed it.. I wonder who he is talking about..

Just out of curiosity, who do you think DT is talking about here?

Because most knowledgeable wrestling fans acknowledge greatness, just like Iowa fans did in Iowa City with David Taylor, Ed Ruth, Gable Steveson, etc. Add to it that Spencer is a PA native and instead they chose to boo him just shows what we already knew about that fanbase. Either way, I'm sure Spencer isn't losing any sleep over it.

Jesus, there is so much stupid in this post. 1. I wasn't pointing out PSU 125 to show they underperformed. I was responding to someone saying it was a lopsided dual, which is really wasn't. You don't have 5 weights not score an offensive point and another lose 18-2 and call it a lopsided win. 2. I said, "Matches were 6-4, I believe the match points were close too. Within 5 points? That's not lopsided when you consider Iowa wrestled a backup 165 lber at 184 vs a 2x champ." Brooks scored 22 of their 44 match points vs a 165 true freshman back-up wrestling up two weights. Do you think he scores 22 points on Assad? 3. You're right, Vespa did take Spencer down and did a great job getting teched and not pinned (thanks to some help from those bonus PD calls). Either way though, Spencer was getting 5 or 6 and was going to be putting up points, back up or not. That is NOT the same with 184 with Assad wrestles. It's most likely a major as worst. Now does that help clear up your obvious confusion from my initial post?

Dude, PSU didn't score a single offensive point in FIVE matches and got teched 18-2 in another match. TWO of their returning NCAA champions won 2-1 on a riding point. WTF are you talking about Iowa stalled to keep it close? You actually think Starocci and Dean were working for points? Brands kept his position and stayed in the middle of the mat the entire match. That's not running, dawg. Brands was never close to winning just like Bartlett, Van Ness, and Facudno were never close to winning. The only Iowa wrestler who truly stalled was Teske and he paid for it.

How so? Drake Rhodes is a 157/165 true freshman back-up who wrestled 184. Marco Vespa is 125 RS sophomore who wrestled 125. You really can't figure this out?

Yea and you'd have a point if he bumped up two weights to wrestle him. Edit.. Lol, maybe 3 weights? Roster has him 157/165 true freshman: https://hawkeyesports.com/sports/wrestling/roster/season/2022-23/player/drake-rhodes/

PSU didn't score an offensive point in five matches, and two of those were returning NCAA champs (141, 149, 165, 174, 197). They got teched in another match (125). Matches were 6-4, I believe the match points were close too. Within 5 points? That's not lopsided when you consider Iowa wrestled a backup 165 lber at 184 vs a 2x champ.

The fact is was mixed as all is embarrassing for PSU fans.

Keckeisen, Vito, and O’Connor

Are you able to watch ACC Network events on ESPN+?

Just out of curiosity, at what level does one have to compete to be more than a "fan" to you? Is D2 high enough or do we have to make a Senior World team before we can debate with the great LJB? I don't think you realize how arrogant you're coming off in this thread, almost as if you're gatekeeping the sport. "Me and mine have had a certain experience with the sport, so every person has to have the same experience or else they have no idea what they are talking about." It's very cool that your son is having success at the highest level, but that doesn't make you some oracle of the sport. You've already done a great job of proving that in this thread.

Sooooo, in other words, not facts. Also, what makes you think a 24 year old athlete's best days are behind him?

I am not sure you understand what this word means. Saying things like Spencer is "not even a little" technical or "Lee has never separated himself as a wrestler but he can definitely beat up some runts and mids in the c league" aren't facts. They are opinions that clearly stem from sour grapes. Also, I'm still laughing at the fact that LJB brought up a story on a message board about Spencer mean mugging his son 10 years ago, but then claims he didn't care about it. Lol sure, dude.

Everyone is disagreeing with my unpopular opinion. I better just chalk it up to hero worship. Arrogance and stupidity, a deadly combo lol.
