Should have happened when ISU got the 4th place trophy by a point or so a couple of years ago. People tried dismissing it at the time thinking only top 3 would get trophies (walked back) but that was the moment imo.
Appreciate you V-baby for making sure to point out it’s a KID. Penn state and osu recruit high school kids that make SR world teams we don’t. Holy cow. I don’t see how one can defend the brands anymore.
Didn't Spencer Lee wrestle in the Olympic Finals just last year with his multiple injuries? That doesn't scream "ruined" to me, but uuummmm.
I get what you’re saying I do. But, tom and Terry are beyond defending at this point. They have essentially destroyed the greatest college athletics dynasty ever.Didn't Spencer Lee wrestle in the Olympic Finals just last year with his multiple injuries?

Lincoln Mcllravy was a generational talent too, apparently "ruined" by Dan Gable. So we know it happens.
Disappointed for Spencer, but I'm gonna wake up and see the sun shine again tomorrow, probably will for you too if you let it............
I sent an email request to cancel my inner circle membership this morning. Until they change the Hawkeye wrestling club coach I’m done donating. Too much secrecy and too much loyalty to nice guys that are not getting it done.
I’ve cancelled my inner circle until they make serious club level changes
Announcers were concerned the taller guy cutting from 61 would be gassed. Is it the weight cut. He’s so short, but I do remember him saying he had to be up all night on a treadmill to make weight for one of his matches at the Olympics. I don’t think he has the length to move up to 61 or 65. Is there any technique changes that could make a big difference? What partners would he have at okyst or PSU that would get him over the top, who aren’t competing for the same spot on the world and Olympic teams? Does anyone think he throws in the towel after this big disappointment, or does his obsession with Olympic gold keep him going 3 more years?
My statement went over my head? Are you retarded? Go touch grass you moron.
He'll be 27 next month. I can't imagine him throwing in the towel with the Olympics on American soil in 2028.
Spencer carried the Hawks program the entire time he competed for Iowa, imo. We became complacent with the team floundering as long as SL gave us some bragging rights. Now what?
That is so true. He can judge his life by his disappointments or his successes. No one ever really reaches their goals. They always want one more.
They have not destroyed it. They have simply maintained it. The problem is that others have passed them by. I can't help but think that their biggest faults are that they do not cheat, they are loyal, and they do the best they can all the time. Who would have thunk those would be faults and lead to the slipping of a program. In what other world would those things be a reason to condemn someone?
Didn't he quickly tech the Turkish wrestler in the match before his loss?
