Iowa entered Voinovich as the Big Ten rep prior to the dual vs OKST where Jordan wrestled.

i don't buy the 'Williams was injured' theory.
Brands said in his interview that vv showed a little more heart which is why he went with him maybe i misunderstood that?

And going up the against the likes of Nowhere State and obscure D3 schools. Wait until OK sate and other relevant schools have programs...

For crissakes, the women are fighting it out against the likes of McKendree? and other tiny schools. Honest question. If I was a woman, Iowa vs the rest of the field? Currently it's Iowa by a mile. So as far as I'm concerned, the women should have 10 national champs until real schools have programs.
I take it you don't follow women's wrestling at all.

Hold on.

He missed 2 months with injury, was clearly injured again in his last match, NCAAs is 12 days away, and you want him to go even more?

Great call, coach.
To the great spooner it was already discussed for him after out on backside before tourney started.

Wrestler scores fewer points against the best wrestlers. We will give you the big brain award for the day. And never mind that’s a different argument.
It's not "wrestler scores fewer points against the best wrestlers." Its wrestler has no offense to speak of against decent wrestlers, regardless of what weight class he wrestles. I'm with Nashville, but you keep insulting people.

I’m just saying. You were the one that brought up all that offensive and aggressive stuff. :)

He said “a little more fight there maybe”. Well I thought Kale Peterson showed a lot more fight than Bailey, and he went with Bailey because your lineup is better with Bailey in it. Everyone knows that. How many times has Brands said you put your best lineup/team on the mat especially when it counts.
The whole 157 situation is bizarre. Giving VV easier opponents leading up to conference — #28, UR, UR. Williams very competitive tight matches with three top 5 ranked guys. Just another self inflicted wound by Brands.

I don't either. Williams was given the "if you don't care why should I" treatment. He may have qualified for Nationals, but he wasn't doing anything once he got there, so BFD.

I don't doubt that Bailey was in the same boat, hand "injuries" aside. To his credit, or detriment depending on how you feel about him, he showed what he can do a bit yesterday when he actually puts forth some effort. But he also showed what happens when he quits wrestling so....
