I agree, but as many have said, we're likely looking at OT. Ferrari will wrestle most of the match from his knees, and the Iowa faithful will be begging for stalling on Rocco. Lol
At Carver the opposing wrestler can be winning 13-4 and the Hawk faithful still sing "heeeessss staaaalllllinnnnn!" The guy wrestling the Hawk is always stalling, it is what they have been taught and all they know.

I think Calliendo is hands down Iowa's best and remains their ismost aggressive wrestler (Angelo insert yawn here).

Calliendo has clearly separated himself as the #2 wrestler in the land at 165, on a tier of his own by a good amount over #3 and below.

This isn't the first time we have seen this where Iowa has a elite guy that will never win a NC, but had it not been for a PSU wrestler he would have been a multi time champ.

Messenbrink is just that good, and so was Zain over Sorensen.
Calliendo lost to Lockett I thought. At the ok state duals thingy.

Why do so many people think our undefeated returning/formal finalist is the underdog at 184? I don’t.

Slight underdog. At Carver. One year separated from the finals at a lower weight. Also, while a finalist, he had 5 loses with 2 against Ruth.

And, most importantly, Angelo is Iowa's #1 hope at an individual title. An upset sounds nicer and will bring more entertainment on HR than Welsh winning as the favorite.

Brands has lost whatever's left of his psychotic squirrel mind.

Says the Penn State dynasty will not happen. Where has psycho-squirrel #1 been the last 15 years? It has happened, it is happening.

To borrow a quote from Cato the Elder:

Ceterum (autem) censeo Iowum esse delendam

Furthermore, I think that Iowa must be destroyed.

There are two Iowa wrestlers I don't hate with every fiber of my being.

Caliendo and Kennedy. They show up, shoot, and counter.

Ayala, Fiat, Kueter sicken me.

Is this the week we sneak onto Iowa's campus in the middle of the night, glue blue and white lions on their welcome sign, and paint a Penn State singlet on the Gable statue?

What am I saying. Such antics are reserved for rivals. I'm sure Cael is just trying to decide whether to reward some of our room guys with the chance to wrestle in the once-hallowed coliseum of an ancient dynasty Friday night.
Repaint the tunnel blue/white.

Poor GIA Media have to listen to that and act like he said something. “Thanks Tom for letting us know that you know where you’re wrestling next week. We’re all clued-in now. You’re the best.”
I’ve heard GIA Media guys have left to take PAID IOWA HATER jobs for less money
