[JOESTROSSER]

Phuck yes!!!

 

[mcpat]

Phew. Poise and savvy.

 

[LDandy]

Stud.

 

[McScoreley]

F ESPN

But also ... I don't know how RBY continues to do it.

 

[sneedram55]

RBY!!!!! never in doubt 😉

 

[okinburg1]

RBY score?

 

[I.J.W.T.]

Clutch RBY!!!

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

McGhee panicked. Bad shot. That RBY can’t show up tomorrow or Vito mops him. Thankfully I don’t think he will.

 

[mcruny42]

RBY is proof that Spencer F'd up by not coming to PSU. Ice cold in the veins, closer!

 

[nittinsc]

pheeeew!

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Rby is ice cold. He's so good.

 

[mcpat]

We saw Lee lose by fall. Fix lose by major. And RBY survives. Crazy first two weights.

 

[Pitchfork Rebel]

No remach with Fix.

 

[billrag]

McGee had locked hands twice and he was gifted that reversal. I can't believe how bad the officiating has been in this championships. That said RBY did what he needed to do and all is well.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

RBY score?

6-4 TD in OT

 

[RB-Old]

Man did RBY keep his cool there.

 

[tullfan68]

Does Spencer med for. the rest of the tourney?

he was probably injured!!

 

[NittanyChris]

WOW!!!!

RBY!!!!

Lee and Fix lose but RBY’s mental toughness prevails!!!

 

[pish69]

Wow he is so cool and locked in. I thought he should have taken neutral in 3rd. Happy as hell he got it done

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

I get it we don't like Iowa but at the end of the day Spencer is good for the sport and seems like a good person so I can't help having some empathy for a legacy ended twice so close to being a 4 timer.

Not really, that's absurd. Why would I not feel great for Ramos beating a prior multi-year Champ - he seems like a great kid????

 

[pish69]

Jesus Christ. My heart rate after these first two matches. This is incredible stuff

 

[jmadden1998]

I hate all of you. And I’m drunk

 

[Aardvark86]

Poor Mrs Lee lost it and they put it on TV.

Was it better than the Michigan football kid?

 

[mcpat]

Hey - I missed the first four semifinal matches. Anything happen?

 

[RealMicah]

My heart can’t take these past 2 days for
real

 

[nitlion6]

So it’s tough to win four NCAA titles, I hear.

You have to be great.

 

[Bob_Anderson]

Was it better than the Michigan football kid?

Yes, it was an all-timer

 

[PSUcup1]

Great job RBY

 

[Flying_Tiger]

Should we start a GofundMe for new eyeglasses for Mrs Lee?

 

[psualt]

Was it better than the Michigan football kid?

Yes.

 

[nitlion6]

As a PSU fan / Iowa “disliker” I thought I wanted to see it happen, but seeing it actually happen gives me pause. I feel bad for him.

Nope.

 

[Aardvark86]

So two bricks have backfired so far. Lessons to be learned?

 

[Pitchfork Rebel]

Jesus Christ. My heart rate after these first two matches. This is incredible stuff

My normal pulse is 55, I just checked 78...

 

[PSUcup1]

McGhee panicked. Bad shot. That RBY can’t show up tomorrow or Vito mops him. Thankfully I don’t think he will.

McGhee was tired and went for it.

 

[caliPSUfan]

These semis are freakin nuts! My heart is going to explode! RBY is just so freakin cool under pressure - insane!

 

[Little J]

Stay classy Penn State. Parents are proud and live it through their kids. We never like to see our kids not reach their goals.

 

[Raw Daddy]

Who's gonna make the .gif? That's gonna be used on these boards in perpetuity

Dear Lord thank you baby Al Gore for making the internet and father Gates for making the computer so I can watch this .gif forever. Gilman decks him by the way.

 

[pawrestlersintn]

Lee's mother went apeshit and broke her glasses.

Post video.

 

[okinburg1]

6-4 TD in OT

Thank you sir!

 

[BigFella235]

I nearly threw my remote at the screen when they cut to Vito walking off the mat as they were scrambling.

McGee definitely panicked in OT. He took a terrible shot from distance then tried to scramble out of it.

RBY’s body language after he got behind was what I’d point out to my wrestlers. He just kept coming forward and creating opportunities
