Tom Brands Quotations

Academics and wrestling, you cant separate the two.

It's like our daddies and moms always used to tell us growing up, you don't get what you deserve, you get what you earn.

I don't believe in dreams. I believe in going after it.

Produce results on the mat AND in the classroom.

We don't deserve anything; we must work for everything.

You don't get what you deserve, you get what you earn.

The only thing you deserve is what you earn

It wasn't a street-fighting contest, but it was a street-fighting mentality. And frankly, that's why the Brands brothers had a bad rap. Nobody could handle the level we competed at. Nobody -- except for the people that was on our side.

I worked with Iowa last night. They're looking to bring me in sometime next week. I have not talked to Ohio State - we've been missing each other.

There is concern that we are taking a step back. I don?t guarantee anything like results, that?s just not the way I was raised. I?m not saying there is just unbelievable greatness waiting to happen ? but we have potential for that just because of guys? attitudes and work ethics.
