He was saying that Hegel’s Rechtsphilosophie was a work of sophistry and Richie heartily disagreed
Well, now it makes sense. Lucky they didn’t come to blows. Those are fighting words.
Can you imagine the PSU coaches ever engaging an opposing wrestler like that? Bad look for a coach.
Stating the obvious here but Terry Brands should probably grow up at some point and stop trash talking opposing wrestlers, at least collegiate. I do appreciate Tom, however, taking the high road and politely clapping while Lewis was looking for a response.
That's pretty funny. A rare philosophical reference kamakaze-ing into the world of wrestling. Almost as humorous as Kierkegaard's wry remark about Hegel's Science of Logic—namely, that it was a great work but would have been even better if Hegel had admitted at the very end of hundreds of pages of complex reasoning that it was all just a Gedankenexperiment (thought experiment). [Somewhere, Woody Allen might be considering this as a scene in a future film called "Wrestling with Absurdity".]
I don't think you can be embarrassed....don't you have to have a conscience first?
Tom Brands is great for college wrestling.
Terry Brands is an asshole who belongs in a mental ward.

You definitely have to have at least a small amount of self-awareness and the capacity for shame.
If Terry (first of all his name is f**king Terry) had the guts to join the military and the smarts to do it as an officer....just google the term “fragged”.
What a hilarious jackass.
Pretty much agree. And btw I never wanted to be the one to say it. But when I saw Spencer lee at PIAAs pushing an overmatched kid after pinning him... I wasn’t surprised at all when he went to Iowa and said terry was the reason
Yeah I had zero problem with what Massa or Lewis did. They have to listen to a coach chirp at them and talk smack and be quiet? Screw it they won big matches and gave it right back!! If you can dish it out...
That said Tom Brands showed class and composure in both of those instances.

Anyone ever read the blog wrestling for Gable?

Terry Brands is unique. I didn't like him at first because he was so moody and aloof. But I think a lot of that was because of his natural intensity. He cares so much about winning and losing. You can see it when he wrestles.
Tom is the same way, and I admire that. I respect that.

We drove back to Iowa City in the early evening. Tom Brands was driving, and Terry was in the back seat, and all of a sudden they started arguing about something totally stupid--a song on the radio--and within about 5 seconds there were fists flying. I swear, it's like they're 2 years old.

Can’t argue with that take. Like I said though I do understand their take too. It’s not like they were chirping or flexing off marinelli, they just sick of terry or whoever is constantly shooting their mouth off when they are trying to wrestle a match. They are human and probably sick of it. Think about it. Two separate wrestlers went at the Iowa wrestling staff emotionally after winning. Why is that???
Does Lewis wear a Kendall Cross shirt at Nationals?
I don't like the showboating especially if it lasts more than a few seconds, but after hearing Terry chirp the whole match I can see where the desire to make him eat it would be strong. I think Tom probably needs to reign Terry in a bit.
Tom is really great for PSU wrestling. In wrestling politics, Tom and Cael usually agree about what is best for the sport and Tom has not figured out how to challenge Cael for dominance in the sport. Tom probably does enough to keep his job at Iowa since at this time their is not an obvious choice to do a better job.
In the Lee vs Turk match, you can hear the announcer say "one Brands left and another one shows up." Almost immediately after that comment, Turk went into thug mode and starting banging on Lee's head. I have to assume that was Terry replacing Tom.
Here is a link to the match for those with FloPro. Go to 7:48

I've written this before, but many years ago, when Terry was heading up UT Chatt, they dualed with UNI at the West Gym. Some UNI fans were lightly ribbing Terry and he kept signaling for them to come down and face him, face to face, all while the dual was in progress.
I kind of guessed him to be a hopeless loose cannon since that time.

BUT, Terry sure seems to have a knack with those 125 and 133 pounders, and why he stays on staff.
Turk acted like a twerp and was probably following the cue of a coach that likes to twerk. But, I had the impression that the timing of that right hook (or was it left?) that drew the penalty made it look worse than it was. That’s why I think he was protestive at the end.
When the coach is yelling at the opponent (not the opponent's coach), it is an indication of poor sportsmanship. No reason to go there.
Thanks for quoting me. Not going to change my mind. Shall i dig up some old BWI threads on Richie Lewis? Lot of compliments sent his way..
Come on Turk the remark was about Terry, the "adult" in this situation.Thanks for quoting me. Not going to change my mind. Shall i dig up some old BWI threads on Richie Lewis? Lot of compliments sent his way..
I have an older brother. I love him and want only good things for him. He frequently does things to embarrass himself and others. Not great. Wish he’d stop.
Was wondering when you would show up? As a PSU fan I love your outlook on them, and I personally hope they never get rid of them at Iowa!!!!
The more I think about this, I would be almost certain that what Terry Brands did in this case would be (1) against Iowa's institutional policy of code of conduct and/or (2) against NCAA policy.
Perhaps the AD at Iowa would like to review this?
