Who is the ESPN 2 guy who said Go Hawks and waved flag?

[Ihawkhoops]

Anyone catch this right before cutting away to the Iowa-ISU game the other night? ESPN 2 anchor said something like "management doesn't like us to wear team colors", then said "Go Hawks" and pulled Iowa flag from under the anchor desk and waved it just as they cut away to Hilton.

Who is he?

Chris Hassel. Believe he is from Iowa and a UI grad.

After the game, he walked back onto the set and asked the other guys how much Iowa won by. That hurt. :-(

from Muscatine, but i think he went to St. Ambrose.

Talented dude.

After the game, he walked back onto the set and asked the other guys how much Iowa won by. That hurt. :-(

Then he asked how many Uthoff got, had 30 at half. They said 32, Oh.

Then he said "Rose Bowl." They said yada yada Sparty. Oh.

He said "Go Hawks" and bolted, representing.

It was all pretty well done.

He used to be a sports anchor on WHO channel 13

I usually don't watch the news on WHO but mostly where I saw Chris Hassel was on Sound Off. He did crazy stuff on there. I always thought when he did his monologue on Nebraska it was because he hated Nebraska but the link below says he was a Nebraska fan through and through.

I always wondered if his craziness was why ESPN wanted him as I believe they came after him, but I guess not. All I have seen him since he went to ESPN he is in a professional role.

You would never guess he was one and the same in this video.
