Penn State Claims 10th National Title; Matt Ramos Upsets Spencer Lee & More | B1G Wrestling & Beyond 

Will they ever develop another 125lber though??? Suriano curse?

For me it’s a toss up between him and Starocci both undefeated and both were clear of the competition in their weight classes

@@michaelmayo2489 I'm not opposed to co-hodge winners but I lean Parris. Might not have always appeared this way cuz on the scoresheet, but he DOMINATED EVERY OPPONANT. Then again, so did Starocci

Vito Arujau dominated the number one and two seeds. He should get it.

@@yourdaddy6030 Parris dominated the #3 (Hendrickson) and #4 (Cassiopi twice) in his weight class and beat the #2 guy (Kerk) three times. Vito had a loss in the regular season to Glory. Parris also led the nation in pins (11) and had a 63% bonus rate. Parris statistically had a far more dominant season than Vito and went undefeated. The only other guys with an argument are Starocci, O'Connor, and Alirez.

He has no reason to be pissed. He gave up halfway through the first period. 😂

Agreed. And that does qualify for a medical forfeit. But, he should have clarified why he medically forfeited because fans began to twist themselves in knots making excuses for him and trying to steal the credit from Ramos. All Ramos did was outwrestle Lee on this day. The spectacle that followed was all Lee's doing.

Couldve been one of the elites .... not sure what happens in year 4

@@jannorris4140 He is one of the elites. One of the top 10 best wrestlers all time.

Penn State

Reminded me of the prison shower scene in American history X. 😂🤣

Stop making excuses for Spencer. If Spencer didn’t think he could compete at the national level he wouldn’t have competed. Spencer lee said it himself excuses are for wusses.

He was not hurt. He made that clear. He was simply outwrestled. He also made that clear. He did not look tentative about taking shots. He took one within seconds of the match starting. He took a LOT of shots as the match progressed. Matt Ramos simply shut down his offense. Ramos learned from their last match that he had to defeat Lee's attempts to pin him, which he did. Then, he had to come up with a pinning combination of his own. We saw him practice it during the match, when he head/arm pinched Lee and rolled him at the end of the first period. Someone said Ramos simply got lucky. Well, luck is when preparation meets opportunity. We saw Ramos' preparation when he flawlessly executed the pinning combination he had prepared, at precisely the moment he saw an opportunity. That's wrestling.

In their 2 matches, Ramos has more takedowns and more near fall points against Spencer Lee. Ramos simply is a bad head to head matchup for Spencer Lee.

I can believe RBY lost. He wrestles not to lose. It was just a matter of time before someone came out swinging and roughed him up.

Watched the SL match closely. It was clear something was wrong with him. His aggression was not there, he also looked very tenitive about taking a shot. And yes, he was hurt, ordinarily it would have been like his last match with MR. Thats wrestling, and MR wrestled a great match.

@@hdvictoryford5329 He wrestled like that most of the year! Heck he tech fall Mckee at the Big Tens but struggle on his feet with Mckee.

@@vincecapri1 I watched every match I could. And in this one he was not at all like himself. The man was hurt. And there were some matches he seemed to struggle some. But many times during those matches his aggression and re-shorts were always attempted. This last match was clearly different.

He wasn’t hurt, but he had double acl surgery a little over a year ago. His conditioning was way off and he wasn’t as sharp as he would have been. He probably took 6 to 7 months with no wrestling. The ncaa tournament is a grind he wasn’t as prepared through no fault of his own. I know he will come back from this a better wrestler, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he wins an Olympic medal.

​@HDVICTORY ford just this tournamnet? What a joke. The whole trope of Spencer Lee does not look like himself has been the ongoing theme ever since he lost to Sebastian Rivera. You say Spencer Lee didnt look like himself? I say Spencer Lee has looked the same the past 5 years. Ramos was beating Spencer during the dual 8-1 during the first before Lee pinned him. I believe had Ramos avoided the pin, he would have won in the 3rd. The match was not a fluke. It was a deliberate absolute legitmate win.

Almost?

@@yourdaddy6030..... only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

And pronouns for everyone.

Yeah because wrestling for years with not even recovered ACLs is easy 💀

@@quvvee Lee wrestled all year and in the B1G championship. He shouldn't have wrestled this year if he hadn't recovered from the ACL injury.

@@georgesealy4706 yeah so he could stay in college for six-seven years like everyone wants

I agree. Dean lost in the second round, which meant tons of 'wrestle-back' matches one after another. He gave everything he had.

I’m sure you know both of them very well. And their personal medical histories. No one cares who you respect. Your obviously a PSU Homer. So I’m sure you woulda pushed Suriano to tough that out too, huh? Remind to avoid the area wherever you coach.

You had meant to say I’m sad wrestlin is over.

Nah wrastlin’

100%

Hodge is for the season, not just the NCAA tournament. Vito had a loss during the season

I think the dude is both mentally and physically spent. Wouldn't be surprised if he just goes into coaching.

Like so many other sports parents, can't cope with a loss. I've seen parents and competitors alike, that can't handle a loss! Smash things, cry, you name it.

Says the two guys who never competed at an elite level at anything in their lives. 😂😂

Uhhh the Olympic training center for wrestling is NOT in Penn state…try again😂😂

Olympic training center is in Colorado

You mean the Sanderson Training Aggressive Ripped Studs facility (STARS)?
