Interesting that the hounds aren't at the door like they were for Jim Zalesky's head.    :-X

Brands is the guy the Boosters, and Gable loved, not Zelinsky. I think he was always looked at as a band-aid to be ripped off later. I believe as long as Gable is working in Admin, Brands will have the job.

No, he is not.

Can't wait to see the Hawks win a title this year  :)

Sorry, I should probably not have said "working" as that infers that he is employed by Iowa. He retired from his associate A.D. position but it still instrumental in the wrestling program and boosters.
