Big Ten wrestling champ credits glorious mullet for his big win

In hair we trust.

Iowa’s Sammy Brooks won the the 184-pound Big Ten wrestling championship title Saturday and gave some tips for success in his post-match interview.

“You can’t grow a great mullet in a day, you can’t win a Big Ten title in a day,” Brooks tells his interviewer very seriously.

Big Ten Network’s Shane Sparks didn’t know quite what to do with Brooks, but Brooks knew exactly what the crowd expected from him.

“These fans just respond really well to a good haircut,” he said. “That’s what I was working on ... just making sure I had it fluffed and feathered the right way.”

Inspiring.
