I would also assume Iowa ducking VT in the National Duels a few years ago was part of the plan as well. It worked, since it helped to destroy it.
HR is going to need a lot lip stick to dress up this pig.
I flipped through the in-match thread. Most posters we're pissed Lee didn't wrestle. Of course there were a few that tried to rationalize Lee not going. The rationalizations are pretty funny for the most part.
He probably wouldn't know. He did the Evelyn Wood speed reading bit on the binder and now Terry uses it as a booster seat at his desk.
Iowa has a great recruiting strategy for high quality back ups. Tells them that they'd be sitting at most big time programs, but here at Iowa you'll get your shot at glory against the high ranked guys while the starter watches and you can start eating in early March when the starter takes over for tournament time.
This right here^^.
I'll give Brands maybe an ounce of credit for not blatantly lying, but it's an incredibly lame statement. He basically acknowledged that part of the Iowa staff's plan is to hold certain guys out when there is a decent chance they might lose a match. That's actually kind of sad for a program as proud (at least formerly proud) and with the history of Iowa. Yeesh.
its really sad what the Brands brothers have done to that once proud program. I would feel bad for the fans, but most appear to be in lock step with them. Maybe it's a case of Stockholm syndrome.
HR has put lipsick on the pig, took it back to the crib, and wrecked it. TnT are executing a genius strategy.
When Brands this year refused to travel to Penn State knowing if he did his Hawks would take a total ass whuppung in front of 16,000 fans in the BJC and the 1,000,000 more viewers on BTN he because numero uno Mr. Quack like a Duck. All he is doing with the micro management of who he doesn't want his kids competing against is just putting distance between himself and all other duck leaders.
Sleeping that long would cause your family concern and would probably result in a 911 call. Just saying. Do the more sensible thing. Turn the channel for 30 minutes. Then turn the match back on. You will have skipped some serious nothing time and Marinelli's match should be starting.
at least Jack Hawkins was at least ...artful.. the inference could be the name of a jack nickalson movie
Its a great recruiting strategy, come to Iowa where you are get to wrestle the best in the post season.
Nerd alert:
I have a greasemonkey script I've messed w/ in the past that "finds and replaces" words for you on webpages you visit. I re-enabled it this morning, after adding the text to replace any mention of "hawk" with "duck." Then I went to HR to read around for a while. Hilarity ensued--especially w/ all the usernames "DonDuckeye, lol). I'm easily entertained, but I had a feeling someone else here might also be similarly afflicted.

Flo had a video up of Tom leading the Hawkeye's into Welsh Ryan Arena yesterday. This explains it all...
Yup. And if they meet in the finals of the B1G tournament, Spencer can injury default to prolong the mystery!
Injury default would be a loss and could impact his seed at Nationals. He would need to MFF.
I'm really enjoying this. Even Google Knows:Nerd alert:

Also useful to turn "Carl" into "Cael, the GOAT"
Hey now. The kid has a bright future, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Maybe Cassar or Stoll will humble him.
So does drool, but what do goats have to do with ducks?
Si Robertson put his sweet tea down to applaud this post..Instead of bobble heads, teams should hand out duck calls when the Duckeyes visit.
Just don't give one to Stoll. He'll end up with a load of bird shot in his other knee.
Can you imagine if opposing fan bases started bringing duck calls to matches, and used them during the intros. That would be funny and sad at the same time.

Careful Dog.., if you get 3 people comin' in with a duck call, comin' in sittin' down and quackin' on a duck call you may start an organization, and if you can get 50 people walkin' in, sittin' down and quackin' on a duck call you may start a movement

My little town in NJ has a celebration every August. Part of the celebration is free concert in a park and fireworks. Two summers ago, Arlo Guthrie was the performer. The show was okay, but I started getting a little bored so I started walking home. By the time I got to the mountaintop where my house is, I heard him starting to play Alice's Restaurant. I had to turn around and go back.
