Jimmy Cinnabon Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Apparently he isn't even in the city anymore, much less the arena to support his teammates. What gives? Is he having emergency surgery? As the undisputed leader of the Hawkeye team I think his teammates would have appreciated his moral support and presence as they fight out the medal rounds. And what about his best friend and mentee, Real Woods, who has a tough final tonight? Just find it odd that a leader of men would vanish unless there is a legit medical reason he had to leave Tulsa. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHROMEBIRD Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 It's too bad that he split. Remember that standing O Griffith got after his last match about a half hour ago? Spencer would have gotten 10 times that for his farewell, deservedly so. He may not realize it but that show of appreciation from the fans in Tulsa was probably something he needs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingcement Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) Sounds like he didn't leave Tulsa although that was a rumor floating around. https://iowa.forums.rivals.com/threads/spencer-lee-will-medically-forfeit-from-the-wrestle-back-round.415280/ Edited March 18, 2023 by flyingcement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Spencer doesn’t show to the podium I’ll remember his college career as him being graceful when it gave to him and a sore loser when it took from him. I genuinely feel bad for him that what is probably an impulsive decision will leave a stain on his legacy. Edit: if Spencer is still at the BOK and takes the podium, disregard my post. His legacy as one of the best to ever step on the mat won’t change in any way to me. Edited March 18, 2023 by goheels1812 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgaveMaria Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Doubtful he left. He will man up and show up at the medal presentation. He fought the good fight and lost. Hope he takes it like Gable and Karelin when they did not finish #1. ” Never attribute to inspiration that which can be adequately explained by delusion”.

Not sure “sore loser” is the best label of the situation. He didn’t throw a fit or act disrespectful in the defeat. And I’m not sure just skipping out on the podium would be enough to consider it “sore loser” level, though it would be disappointing. Though I feel he and his coaches will have him straight enough to appear for the podium moment. He may be distraught and even mentally in a bad spot, but I don’t feels I’d make my core memory of him a “sore loser.” Edited March 18, 2023 by MadMardigain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not “sore loser,” but bigger than 6th place is a better descriptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
