I guess we have to watch a bunch of guys standing around waiting for review instead of potentially watching a team title clinched?
2023 NCAA Championship Session V Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Word is lee mom cut herself on broken classes he is taking care of her. Total classless move to opt out. Could have helped team but nope. Good for brands for throwing that brick
And if he wants to medically forfeit out, fine, I guess. I don’t agree with it, But at least show up and support your teammates who are wrestling today!!!
Beau is about to clinch our Tenth National Championship under Coach Sanderson!
We should all cut Spencer Lee and his mom some slack. He was 5 feet below the summit he had been preparing to climb his whole life since he was probably 5 or 6 years old. My heart broke for both of them. It's unfortunate the thing with his mom was caught on video - I am sure she won't feel great about that, but I certainly understand.

Van Ness with a excellent match against the fourth seed from Virginia Tech!
Both SVN and Beau will wrestle for third place.

I think the ref awarded Hensen an esc just before the buzzer, so it was a 5-3 final score.
Penn State wrestling wins 11th NCAA Championship in school history
Penn State wrestling rolled through the field at the 2023 NCAA Championships en route to the school's 11th team title.
Yep, you are right. TV wasn't updating and I needed to post the clincher story. I'll circle back and update that ASAP!
I am not sure how anyone can agree or disagree since none of us know the medical situation for Lee.
Robb (Nebraska) - Franek (N. Dakota St.) in SV, tied 1-1. Some wild action for such a low score.
Edit: Franek works out of a crazy scramble to get the TD just before the end of SV, 3-1

Parco defeated Max Murin (Iowa) in the other consolation semi, 4-3.
Really happy for both SVN and Bartlett. They overcame some tough losses to quality opponents during the regular season to peak at the right time for the National Championships.
#5 seed Quincy Monday (Princeton) vs. #3 Dean Hamiti (Wisconsin) in a great consolation semi. It's 9-7, Monday, with 30 sec left.
And that's the final score

A battle of Wyoming Seminary alumni…
Let's keep this rolling. Wrestling smart and strong.
I need to make beer run soon. The smoker is on for later today. Heineken is gone and I can't drink too many Erie Brewing Railbenders.
Spence Lee is one of the very best ever. Sad way to go out on this tourney. Sorry his mom got caught being completely out of character. Personally, would have preferred to see him come out and forefited in front of the crowd so fans could send him out the way he deserves.
So proud of our team; their interviews and their wrestling. Just outstanding young men being molded by the best.

Really? I jumped up and down for the underdog. Remember lee went for time in match before so he had so much in the tank. Kind of like the heavyweight kerk wrestled who ran out of gas that had a win over a gassed Elam who had absolutely nothing left the whole 3rd period.
Cameron Amine (Mich) vs. Shane Griffith (Stanford) in SV in the Consolation semis., 1-1 going to SV
Nothing in SV, so we're going TB
Griffith takes bottom in the 1st, and gets ridden out.
Amine takes bottom in the 2nd (surprised), but Amine gets out with 11 sec left.
End. 2-1, Amine wins

Which is why, for now, he deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Well done beau and svn. They both wrestled well and helped psu to win it all!!
What's on the smoker? I thought about making something yesterday but my luck it would need to come off, @Tom McAndrew and I would be trading bouts back and forth, and it would be ruined. Lol.

True story- my parents sent me to ballroom dance class At Wyoming Seminary Day School when i was a kid. It was always a mad scramble when we were told to ask a girl to dance. One time I got hip checked across the room when I was about to ask a cute girl for a twirl. Scott ( we’d later become LL teammates) sent me flying. I was a lightweight. Scott was a heavyweight. I had no chance.
