What's this?

Brand said himself that he is/was thinking of rankings. When asked why he

sat Lee out. The additional loss could be the difference between a 2 or 4 seed. 4 seed means he could see Rivera in the semi's at NCAA's. My guess is that Brands knows Rivera has Lee's number and is doing whatever he can to avoid him.

This is completely Brands' style. He plays to the rankings, and avoids higher ranked opponents and teams whenever possible. That isn't what wrestling is about... it is about facing off man vs. man, and taking on all comers. He is a big Orange at the end of the day.

Gabel the coach may have been OK, Gabel the "ambassador" not so much. -- HokieJack 01/28/2019 8:27PM

Why would Lee duck him? I would think he would want another shot at him. -- dallasvt 01/27/2019 7:37PM

Maybe if not 100% wants to avoid psych of consecutive losses ? ** -- wrestlingfan 01/28/2019 05:28AM

If not 100 percent, then he has a legitimate reason, and nothing more needs -- dallasvt 01/28/2019 1:08PM

Thanks for the explanation. In this specific case, I am surprised by this -- dallasvt 01/27/2019 10:29PM

Brands is just looking out for Brands....he wants the title to be tied to -- RJHokie 01/27/2019 10:32PM
