“CLOSING THE GAP by Mikey”

Only a major for Mitchell. That clinches Hodge for Mendez... 
Mitchell still 100% bonus. Mendez with his 3rd regular decision. If Mendez wins the hodge it’s a travesty
You get a bonus! You get a bonus! You get a bonus!
MM should, at this point, be outlawed from wrestling. What absolute domination!
Seriously caliendo should get some kind of reward to have wrestled messinbrink 8 times and lived
Duke looks bigger then messinbrink just saying. What scale are they using
Mitch almost makes me want to hate wrestling and reflect on why I waste so much time on this sport....
At this point I ALMOST feel sorry for Caliendo. If they wrestled 1,000 times, Mitchell wins 1,000.
I feel like I already watched that last match. Like 8 times over 
Barr 100% Bonus as well.

I actually truly feel for Caliendo. He is my favorite current Iowa wrestler, and it can't be fun to continue to be stopped by Mesenbrink. He might have been a two time NCAA champ if Mitchell didn't exist.
At this point, Mesenbrink is just in his own tier and has been for quite some time.

No way he wrestles like this at Nationals (he's going to be better)
Haines - Minto should be a good final.
Hopefully, Levi gives Coach Manning more reasons to go a little loco on the sideline.

We have one more year with Mitch. Is it possible we will ever witness someone as offensive in college in our lifetime?
Gas tank fo days, and every move in the book. Truly amazing to witness

Mitchell pulls into a tie with Mendez for most points in the tournament (22.5)
Imagine the mindset knowing you have to wrestle someone each time that dominates you says a lot about caliendo's character.
Marcus hasn’t close to scoring once. Davino has been on Marcus’s legs plenty of times. It’s a bad matchup up. If you are using a Hail Mary win by Marcus to say they are even. They aren’t. Marcus hasn’t come close to cracking Davino’s defense .
New nickname: Mikey “Groundhog Day” Caliendo!I feel like I already watched that last match. Like 8 times over
Yeah, okay. Get a bit of knowledge. Other teams, specifically, tOSU should be on a National Championship run this year. Give the other sides some credit. They show up, and they are phenomenal wrestlers. Take your ok dude and shove it.
My biggest concern for the finals was davino then Mcenelly. Minto looks huge.
