Brands is the man

Iowa wrapped up the NCAA wrestling title early Saturday morning when ISU's Nick Gallick lost in the 141-pound consolation semifinals.

The Hawkeyes won just one of four consolation matches themselves in the morning, but the damage was done.

Iowa is once again king of the college wrestling world and there is one person responsible - Tom Brands.

Brands has returned Iowa to its tough, aggressive ways. He was named Big Ten Coach of the Year two weeks ago and should get the national award, too.
