Which get's boo'd all the time and voraciously in Hershey. Half the people in the crowd wouldn't even know where he is going to college until they aren't reading about him in the paper's PSU wrestling recap.Ģ) any booing during the match from my vantage was directed towards stalling. It's a HS crowd and PA, while being big PSU fans - is the best HS wrestling state in the country. I get it - we are on an Iowa forum - but the hammers above is right. Did not pay any attention to what happened to Spencer after the match or on podium because I was occupied except for the rousing, over a minute, standing ovation that the crowd gave immediately after it's conclusion.ġ) first of all, the fact that Spencer chose Iowa plays little or no factor in this story. I was in the stands that night in Hershey watching closely. But since they didn't know, it was David vs Goliath I honestly believe if people knew he went out there with torn ACL, you would have people cheering Lee. You know Lee is cocky, confident whatever you want to call it, to go out with a torn ACL and honestly believe he can't be beat. In this case he at a crowd closer to Desanto, he's the best wrestler in HS, going for his undefeated 4th state title, Desanto on a "vision quest,". Then there are some that just keep their heads down, go to work and do their jobs and they never get boo'd (ex Clark)Įvery situation is different. Some kids bring it on themselves (ex Gilman or Downey) He's a great kid as is Spencer but he has that look like "I can't be beat and I'm gonna laugh in your face if you truly think you can beat me" When Nickal lost last year to Martin, people went crazy, called Bo overrated, etc. I have nothing but respect for Spencer Lee. Especially to a kid that comes across as cocky and TRUST me I'm not saying that in a negative way.

It sucks when it happens to "your guy" but it happens all the time. There's so many scenarios studs get boo'd, jeered whatever and we all know it. If they're not booing you when you lose or mess up, you're probably not the stud you think you are. Sounds like the young man hasn't been boo'd much if ever. When I played and I was big in high school, a bunch of games when we would play opposing teams would chant "he's on steroids" every time I touched the ball. No ones ever been to a high school game and one team has a stud (any sport) and people yell over rated or some kind of rhyming chant? If not you haven't been around high school sports much The greats are always gonna get jeered when they lose. I would guarantee the majority of the people that gave Spencer the business that night were probably between the ages of 15-30. That being said when I played football back in the day, it was commonplace for people to jeer, boo, give it to a stud from the other team when they lose.
