Brands would take 10 Taliban in his lineup if it would help him win a title.

Well, if you aren't capable of developing your own studs, then might as well buy them from other teams. The Brands are smart to realize this.

Where you came up with this number I have no idea.

Just because you had a miserable time doesn't mean everybody else will. Weight cutting wasn't fun, but otherwise I enjoyed my college experience, and I wasn't that great. If everyone thought like you then college wrestling would be history.

This. They can't develop their own wrestlers because the old school Brands brawler crap doesn't work anymore, and they're incapable of evolving. The sport has change and they can't keep up. Even their store bought team can't excel under their leadership.

Todrank (who at best was below average for DI) knew he was going to get blasted, but he was wrestling up from 149, lasted longer than expected, and scored legitimate points against Nolf. It was stupid to taunt him, but he still had a better night than he expected. He fights MMA now. He said this about that match during an interview: “My whole wrestling career, I was a s***head,” Todrank laughed. “I talked s*** during matches, I did little antics here and there; I did this my whole career. It was [Nolf’s] senior night, so I had come to the decision that I wasn’t going to do my antics or talk mess. At a point, he shoved me and I kind of shoved him back, then the way I wrestle, I try to circle and create angles. He got frustrated trying to chase me down, so he double foot jumped at me and I heard a whole section of the audience laugh at me. When I heard them laugh at me I was like, ‘All right, f*** it, I’m turning it on now.’”

AI without the I.

Does Austin Myers have any eligibility left? I'd love to see MacTruck back on the forum.

Absolutely. I don't agree with, but it's facts. And a poster calling 'dumb post' on it needs to catch a clue.

I'll say what half of you are thinking, 3 black coaches with no connection to the program will go over like a fart in church in Iowa City.

Fair enough, but I've been to both, and Iowa ain't recruiting based on their locale. Greeley isn't the shining star of Colorado either, but there's no comparison between the two.

So Greeley is 30 minutes from Boulder, Denver, Estes Park, and the Rocky Mountains, and Iowa City is 30 minutes away from.....?......Cedar Rapids?!? I understand that you're a homer, so am I, but dude, seriously?!?

If you can't beat 'em, buy 'em.

Really want to bring up the past? I remember when Iowa won trophies and titles with their own wrestlers. Now they buy 2/3 of their points and still can't trophy. How's that working out? I understand that times have changed, but christ, if they even did a half-assed job of developing their own talent this year then they half trophied.

It wasn't, but stealing studs from other teams is not the answer. That does nothing but hurt the sport.

I'm very sorry that Iowa buys 2/3 of their NCAA points yet still can't buy a trophy.

With their own wrestlers. Take away Iowa's store-bought transfers and they take 18th.

As if Iowa cares about that. You don't get the 5th best team money can buy by worrying about stuff like that.

I think you think wrong. Just because it's the same sport doesn't mean that everyone who likes men's wrestling wants to watch women's too. Don't mess with a good thing, keep the women separate.

He liked the style he had mastered, claiming a veterans world title in the early 90's. He was a beast!

Not PC, but dead on.

Won the war? He just got his ass beat and wrestled like a punk. JB had every right to be pissed.

Yep, and not in a good way.

That went over like a fart in church.

Rumor is BD paid hush money to Jimmy C for.........improprieties. Not saying it's true, but it would help explain why JC is still allowed on the forum. Just what I heard.
