We all know PSU has the market cornered on FUN, so we know that is not a smile. It is more likely him wincing while trying not to crap his pants after slamming 1 to many Ensures after weigh-ins

On page 15 the real Ray Brinzer shows up and answers the question of did he wrestle his first match of the year once at B1Gs “Yes, in 1993. Oklahoma State signed for my transfer two days before the Big 10 Tournament.” And PSU’s177 lber Matt White was not / is not happy.
We discover that Gumby once coached Brinzer and overall a huge, collective man crush is (re)developed by the Board for Brinzer. And for a few days Brinzer actually seems more important that Brody.
Brinzer explains to Lyco1990 that telling lies is not all bad.
By page 16, Tailgate Tom realizes that it is the REAL Ray Brinzer and not just a handle. I assume that his NOT the real Tailgate Tom

Better than the wall that Trump would promise to build us, the Brody Grothus acts as a Trojan horse and effectively keeps out the illegal posters from the East. This HR cocoon that was the Brody Grothus thread was shattered when the PSU faithful realized that Ray Brinzer had audacity to defeat a PSU wrestler. Other thoughts to hide in plain sight for thread titles: “Why Iowa is great” / “Using a toothbrush daily” / “Here are some books that I read this year” / "Why clean underwear is a good idea"
BTW in 1993, Iowa won the NCAAs with 123.75 pts. and PSU finished second 87.5 pts.
Brinzer finished third that year, losing to Kevin Randleman, that year’s champ.
KWood went OT to tell us he saw the swimming/diving team @ the Sarasota Y. Not sure that fit and we slightly hate him for posting that as a blizzard arrives in the Midwest.
I dropped a hint for someone to find the EB video, which is something that 86_90 could do the next time he goes back to the future.
Lyco1990 issues an apology to Brinzer
Brody goes to Flash Flanagan Open and, well, the posts that follow are somewhat hopeful at best.

Good point, Willie. Hard to tell who's cutting the cheese there. Whatever the case, they seem to be having a lot more fun than we allow at Iowa.
It's so funny to me that Iowa gets labeled as not having fun, when IA has two of the funniest coaches in all of wrestling. It would be impossible not to have fun with the Brands.

I'm afraid that I have nothing to contribute, but I really want to see this thread reach 1000 posts.
Love to see Brody beat Jack! Make me feel a lot better about our chances in the national tournament!
I think you have contributed as much as, at least, 950 other posters.
So what say ye, Brody Posters?
Bowie, Frey or Lemmy?
I want to pick Bowie, but my freshman year of college, my floor's song was Hotel California. Somebody made T-shirts with "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device" on the back.
Needless to say, Kwood is not the first "slightly off-kilter" friend I have ever had. The "lounge guys" once debated the 10:30 after the news watching of Cheers vs Star Trek. And don't even suggest watching Cheers and switching over at 11:00 for the second half of Star Trek. You can't follow the plot! If the College hadn't invited a couple of floormates to not participate after that first year, I'm sure that argument would still be on.

Like so many others, I would have much rather have seen V tech or Mizz come to Carver Monday. With NC St coming and the fact the duel is on Monday, I have to admit that Brody's match is 80% of the reason I'll be in Carver Monday night. I believe
Human nature is a funny thing. Grothus goes toe-to-toe with the #7-ranked guy in the nation (Thorn) with a great chance to win the match. Hawk fans have some hope. He gets throttled by the #3 guy and we now have a bunch of geniuses coming out of the woodwork ripping on fellow Iowa fans who hoped Brody would come on at the end of the season. . . as if any of us had any clue at all. Pretty weak.
The Brody Grothus era has come to its sad end. The cut ruined his wrestling body and mind.
It would be better to finish with Carton.
Good luck Brody where ever you go from here.

I agree, do a wrestle off for B1Gs. BG gave it a good run, but you can't get teched in your last dual in Carver.
Tough call on Grothus vs. Carton at this point. I'd still go with Brody, considering that Topher didn't do anything to grab the spot and that this is Brody's last go-around. I also think Brody has the better chance of scoring some at Nationals, as rough as his last outing was. That said, I don't think those points will be relevant, as I think PSU runs away with it this year. Not being doom and gloom -- just recognizing reality there. In any case, I'd stick with Brody at this late stage for the reasons stated above but wouldn't complain if Topher got the nod. Both kids, and would love to see both have some success on the mat.
I'm not a quitter either Kwood, but this thread is running out of steam - kind of like our hopes for a Brody AA run. At 992 though. Got to push through the thread fatigue and finish this out strong.
Just thinking about the NC St match. Brody just stood around waiting for the other guy to shoot. The other guy did, quickly, and took him down. And again. And again. Brody did nothing to change his strategy. Why not do the double-unders thing, tie him up, move him, hang on the head, get to your own offense? That's how he beat the top four guys at 149. He went after them. Don't stand two feet away from the guy with no hands on him, which is exactly where that guy wanted Brody, because only one person could possibly score from there, and it wasn't Brody. Randy Lewis can stand two feet away from a lanky guy like Burleigh and react with his own throw and pin from the feet. Brody is no Randy Lewis, unfortunately for the Hawks of 2016.
I'm still holding on to some hope that Brody can pull a James English and climb onto the podium in the 7/8 spot. I can't see him higher than that to be honest.
