BIG10 FINALS 2025

[SCHawkFan]

Put his head down and gets pancaked

Stuff happens. I remember when Lee was pinned.

 

[tigerhawk2015]

Yep, my weekend just cleared up. No point watching this garbage.

Sadly I agree with this. In the years that I haven’t attended we’ve always had three days of getting together with a couple of tvs set up and ate, drank and cheered for our Hawks but no one is interested in doing it this year. Our ages are 29 to 65 so it’s a couple of generations of fans that have lost interest. I’m still a season ticket holder and have been for 25 years but I don’t think I will be getting them next year. If we aren’t willing to try something new to change things up this product has gotten really stale.

 

[The Vak]

Brutal (in a good way) counter by Kasak. I cannot believe, given his history, they didn't stop the match after he stumbled and grabbed his head.

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

Yikes, the side of Kasek's face. He looks like he wrecked a motorcycle and faceplanted on sandpaper.

 

[Jason.D.Brantley]

Ok Calidendo and Messenbrink up next.

 

[The Vak]

Damn it, now we have to watch Mesenbrink-Caliendo.

 

[dtripp26]

Not impressed with Kasak. Capitalized on mistakes but ran away the rest of the time

Amazing considering he had the only 2 TDs of the match. He got dinged for stalling and responded with a TD and backs. I wish our guys would respond like that!

That’s a side effect of something i think…sorry, couldn’t help myself

 

[hawkeyealumni]

Someone at Clearasil get Kasak a NIL deal.

"Not impressed with Kasak.."

Kasak 12 v Cannon 2. Impressed

 

[MSU158]

That came off a REALLY bad desperation shot. I would hope nearly all Iowa starters would score there with their opponent being that out of position and off balance…

 

[dtripp26]

How is it possible that every time Manning is on TV he's whining to the refs!

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Hawks got everyone right where they want em. Getting shit seeds at ncaas only to run wild and knockoff everyone.

Nah.

RIP Iowa wrestling once again.

He definitely wasn't offensive minded. Too strong for that kid though.

That skin infection looks like more than acne, they better get a handle on it.

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

Will Caliendo come out balls to the wall and try to wrestle Messinbrink’s match like the last two times? Or do you think the Iowa staff might try a different strategy?

 

[MSU158]

Wasn’t there a big stink about skin check procedures? Was he part of that?

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Here comes more shit sandwiches for the Iowa fanbase, because we need to not have nice things.......

 

[redghost1974]

I think you got to start stuff arming him in the face to force a bad shot. Russian tie up or underhook to close the gap.

Lay off the PEDs for starters......

Sadly, there isn’t a strategy that gets Mikey anywhere close to Mitch. To be fair, I don’t think there will be one for any opponent Mitch faces the rest of his NCAA career…

 

[bdcolt45er]

Hes gotta catch him in a scramble or something that he can score big on.

 

[Jason.D.Brantley]

#1 Messenbrink 3
#2 Caliendo 0

END OF 1ST

 

[Jason.D.Brantley]

2nd period
Caliendo escape
3-1

Only way someone is beating Mitchell is by pinning him.

 

[Jason.D.Brantley]

Start of 3rd

 

[The-Dude-Abides]

Has Mesenbrink given up a TD this year?

 

[dtripp26]

No threat to score.

 

[Muscles1989]

Cali wrestling pretty defensive, slower, keep center mat. Not a bad plan against mess, only down 3-1 after 2

 

[Jason.D.Brantley]

Messenbrink escape
4-1

 

[Jason.D.Brantley]

Messenbrink 4
Caliendo 1

FINAL

 

[Pennstate1985]

Cali wrestling pretty defensive, slower, keep center mat. Not a bad plan against mess, only down 3-1 after 2

That is how you stay close enough to MM to capitalize on a mistake. Coming at him is lethal.

 

[GableBeer]

Honestly great job Mikey.

 

[kwik44]

Same Psu bs.

 

[Muscles1989]

I’ll take that loss. Seemed like a better match for Cali

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

Sadly, there isn’t a strategy that gets Mikey anywhere close to Mitch. To be fair, I don’t think there will be one for any opponent Mitch faces the rest of his NCAA career…

That was the match. Great defense and look to get a good shot in. Great match from Mikey…use that going forward

 

[kjb32812]

Has Mesenbrink given up a TD this year?

One, I believe

 

[hawk224]

Kasak 12 v Cannon 2. Impressed

A guy who’s that good doesn’t need to be backing off the mat

 

[MSU158]

Only way someone is beating Mitchell is by pinning him.

He did a great job keeping his hips back and staying square with him. Still, never came close to scoring, but maybe he can build off that.

 

[js8793]

That was a really impressive performance from Caliendo.
