mr.nonothingatall Posted January 31 Posted January 31 No shockers here, as brands says "we need to score more" One thing he did keep talking about was needing to take there temps? And the wrestlers need to wrestle hard no matter how they feel? Not sure if that means the team was down the the sickness or what? Anyone have any other take aways from the presser? Full of un-bias blasphemy.
Hammerlock3 Posted January 31 Posted January 31 (edited) ummmm its nice of brands to do them, lord knows they don't do him any favors... Edited January 31 by Hammerlock3 "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."

This quote seems to match what ur saying.... Sad seeing wrestlers willing to take more accountability than coaches. It's not right. Full of un-bias blasphemy.
Maxwell Smart Posted February 1 Posted February 1 That's exactly why people outside of Iowa like Drake. Haven't heard many of his takes before, but he always represented the Hawks very well ever since he joined the program. The real shame is that he feels he needs to protect his coach from what is deserved blame. He'll do well in life after wrestling.

As a kid growing up in iowa, you dream of being a Hawkeye. I it shows in our in state recruits. Drake, block, over the years I can think of many more. When u have kids that care about the college and not the coach, they care about the opportunity to do what they have dreamt of and it just means more. Those are the guys that develop. I feel like iowas instate recruit always have developed at iowa slightly more than outsiders. Full of un-bias blasphemy.

They're not gonna cry and supplicate themselves in compensation for only producing a top 4 team. "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."

My logic is that I feel like they never say anything in the press conference other than "we need to score more" or "we didn't show up in a few matches" They should be more of "we weren't prepared at several weights where we should have been" Or literally just be even a little honest with the fan base. Seem like every presser they have they say " drakes a great leader" and "drake is our anchor" And now it's obvious drake is feeling that a team failure is his fault and not the coaches. The coaches should be leading. Full of un-bias blasphemy.

Brands is up their oozing pain and frustration, don't think that indicates a lack of accountability. The recent thing thats been repeated ad nauseam is "we have the guys", to me that seems like if they fail thats a direct admission of responsibility, but you could respond by saying they are denying the reality that they are not up to the recruiting job... If i took a few minutes a found brands saying something along the lines of "the buck stops here" would that be enough for you to say they don't lack accountability? All i'm saying is they seem accountable to me. "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."

The coaches should be leading. I’m confused. ”we need to score more” Is a bad answer, but “we weren’t prepared at several weights” is a good answer? If there’s one thing Brands shouldn’t be criticized for it’s his press conferences. He probably gives the best press conferences overall in D1. They can’t all be great though.

While I think that is there way of saying they are responsible. It is not a good way to say it. Kids could easily see "we have the right guys" as a, I'm failing my coach. My coach thinks I'm capable but I'm not proving myself. Or my coach thinks I'm dragging the team down when I shouldn't be. Which might be the brands plan to get more effort out from some guys. However there may be guys on the team putting in the effort that are hearing him say that and thinking that they can't keep up or can't continue to get any better and put too much blame on themselves... Such as drake seems to have. Full of un-bias blasphemy.

We need to score more- the kids failed to score We need to be more prepared at certain weights - several guys need to spend more time with the coaches getting ready for there match. Or the coaches didn't do a great job of getting several guys ready for this match up. Is how I'm trying to make it sounds. But idk. I'm not there PR guy. Thank god Full of un-bias blasphemy.

The Minnesota match thread on the Iowa board barely got 6 pages during the match, fans were leaving early to beat traffic...it really didn't take long to reach irrelevancy. Or people aren't as close to the reactionary social media lunatics as we would like. "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."
