Can you explain the logic behind this "ducking" that you frequently speak of?
Brands is notorious for ducking his wrestlers to prevent them from losing and hurting their seeding. He sits fully healthy guys often. You must be new to Iowa wrestling

Asking Tom why CyTwins says Iowa wresters are ducking? Seemed like it made more sense to go straight to the source, but I appreciate the suggestion
No, you asked for the logic of the ducking CyTwins spoke of. That's like asking CyTwins why Kkkirk is a stone cold racist? In both cases you'd need to go to the offender if you want to know the why/ logic.

You are assuming the "ducking" is a fact. And I am not, maybe that the breakdown here.

So the premise is, dont wrestle a guy to hurt your seeding if there is a chance you lose?

Not very well then. I think your emotions might be getting in the way of rational responses. Its ok
I answered the question you asked. Not sure how that is emotional. But given your terrible comprehension skill I understand your confusion.

You responded, but in no way did you answer the question i asked. Which, by the way, was not directed towards you. I would like to give you another shot to redeem yourself though...And I will modify it a bit to help you. Can you explain why "ducking" is a beneficial strategy in collegiate wrestling?

So this fall Iowa is down by 7 to Indiana but score a TD as time expires. Kkkirk leaves the offense on the field. Petras scans the D then receives the snap and takes a knee. Why would you ask CyTwins why he did that?

So what you’re saying is, you can’t answer my question. I can see that you are trying hard with your football scenario (bonus points for kkkirk). And while I appreciate that, maybe it’s time for you to hit the bench as I’m worried that you are getting in the way of me getting a real answer. Still, it was nice talking with you..

That's Brands strategy yes
How would you get ranked highly if you didnt wrestle anyone? I mean you just can't skate through to a high seed without wrestling. Still, my troll would be that he ducks not because he thinks they will lose but because he doesnt want someone he may face later to get a chance to wrestle them and adjust to it.

I mean Kemerer is the unanimous #1 guy at his weight and ducked the first dual. You can't duck in postseason but Brands does it A LOT at duals. It's a bad look for the sport and even Iowa fans hate it so it's not a troll from me

Congrats to Iowa on the shared regular season conference title. Not outright like Iowa State football but still something they can be proud of

Well Iowa might win it all now. What a terrible loss for Michigan. Prayers to Micic and his family

Just an FYI Nelson Brands got destroyed in a match and bit and scratched the kid while getting beat today. It was pretty bad

There is legitimately no proof of Brands biting, the only person who claims that is the father of the wrestler, and he’s known to start drama and stretch the truth.
