Per Spencer, the only two programs he considered were Iowa and Penn State. Reading between the lines of what Spencer had to say, I think he felt he needed to be pushed hard to reach his potential and he felt Tom and Terry could do that for him. It has been mentioned ad nauseam here, but I think Spencer would have been better served under Cael's measured tutelage rather than the frenetic coaching approach of Terry and Tom.

Even in this interview, Terry keeps piling on the praise of Spencer. I can't imagine the stress of trying to live up to those expectations. I ultimately think it has been those expectations that have hindered Spencer. I also don't think it is unreasonable to think Spencer's chronic injuries stem at least in part from Tom and Terry's approach to training.

I suspect you're going to have to travel to Gunma, Japan. Articles written in 2016 indicate he was coaching high schoolers there.

Hey Aaron, as a fellow Christian, I think a new fiance deserves ultimate respect. If you want to be grabbing her tits, maybe that's your thing, but to post to Instagram where the rest of the country, not to mention her father will see them on display? Maybe it's just me...

I agree with you. To be fair the pics were on the fiance's Instagram, not Aaron's.

All I saw was a happy loving couple. It looked like she had good wrist control and was setting up an arm drag in another photo.

Congratulations to Aaron and future wife.

Gotcha. Sounds like a nice place 🤩

It could just as easily be main branch of spring creek, but upper section. It is very narrow up there in many places. Part of Joe’s house straddles the creek there too, above Lemont. As a kid growing-up in State College, I caught many the size of that rainbow on the quarry property just below Joe’s house. Wish I could go back to those days, lol….. It used to be amazing fishing top to bottom, full of lunkers, since no stocking / no harvest for a long time after the rutgers-nease chem. plant spill. Spring-fed cold water and no harvest sure does a wonder for growing big fish. Guessing the regs. are still the same.

Best tasting too.

Pushing a operation recovery never worked for me. In spencers case, several poor med decisions, in my view, were made for the team and Tnt tenure.

Bitter sweet I guess. It would be good if that team in the Western part of the state would have top ten teams from time to time.
