Psychopaths. The Brands brothers are psychopaths.
The whole Hok athletic dept has some serious issues. Lawsuits, racism, anger management, psycho coaches, etc... Barta must be so proud.
I believe it was Carr in the presser that said he loved those and the robes.
It's kind of fascinating. It's like you think the whole thing is just going to blow up at some point, and never does. The Brands boys might just be the ones to blow the top though...
We won't be able to compete with Iowa in wrestling until we get the funds. They're paying the team manager 6 figures to clean mats after practice because her husband is a stud wrestler 11 months out of the year
The Brands' coaching demeanor is terrible and I feel comfortable saying this because it is on public display all the time. I don't know them as private persons, but the legal history is a matter of public record.
More broadly, I question a sporting culture that allows rich, entitled, 50-60 year old coaches to act out like petulant 12 year old bullies. Not all coaches do this, and I only respect those that don't. Maybe the old timers can enlighten me--did Harold Nichols carry on like this? Gable certainly did from what I've seen.

It's one game out of the season, sure it's nice to beat them, but it doesn't define the season.
Why did Terry Brands run over to the ISU player area? All while Dresser was shaking hands with other Hok staff. Did someone say something to him? Was he just trying to get a last word in? Was there someone in particular he was targeting? He didn't seem to be wanting to fight or he would have gone after someone. I enjoyed seeing our wrestlers stand there with more poise and maturity and let it dissipate.
Delusional squawk fans imploding on their board. Dresser pegged it perfectly. They do no like it when someone hits back at the bully.
I'm not quite old enough to remember a lot of coach Nic's tenure, but he was generally regarded as one of the most respected men in the sport, so I think it's safe to assume there was nothing remotely close to what we see out of the Brands on a regular basis.
I've never seen it anywhere else for that matter. Some jumping around in the corner, or calling for stall? Celebrating after a TD or a big match win? Absolutely. John Smith working the refs or whining a bit much for my taste? For sure. But jumping around like freaking zoo monkey while chirping with fans and the opposing coaches for the entirety of a dual is just not something you see anywhere else. Barta doesn't have the sack to control these guys. Literally, the ONLY person in the world that could control those two is Gable, and it'll be a cold day in hell before you'll ever see that.
Seeing them trying to justify Terry's actions on Twitter is quite the treat.
Brands were the first wrestlers to demean their opponents by shoving them out of bounds routinely. It was promoted by Gable culture as “aggressive wrestling”.
Their antics as coaches are also a first and certainly have been developed. Followed by Doug Schwab as a close second. He was worse when he was an Iowa assistant.
I hope Schon brings that heat in the years to come lol
@GTO we need a poll on the worst case of nepotism in the Iowa AD.
