Oh yea, wins like that definitely instill well earned confidence and raise expectations. Of course, adding up his avoidable losses certainly does the opposite. / When Brady got smashed by O'Connor a year or so ago, it seemed to totally wreck his confidence. That night, I thought Brady looked ready to brawl when he walked on the mat, but his confidence -- and his spirit to fight -- left him before the match ended. I don't think those weapons made an appearance again until nationals. He started this season looking promisingly aggressive, but he's now again consistently handing over pending victories. Giving his intensity and attacks a vacation after the first period does not appear to promise him success any time soon. / I think it was Troy Steiner who said something like, "If he's going to beat me, I'm going to make him go through hell first." Latona, Henson, and Bolen (when he's at his best) display that attitude. Brady has the tools. At this point, it wouldn't hurt him to take the halter off and turn himself loose. I know all of us would love to see him win ACCs.
