It is time to Cessspool this thread and so I will. First of all Mikey is a stud and I am proud he is an Illinois kid. and I want to say it before I derail this thread.

I ordered something online the other day and after I placed the or, but before I paid for it, I got a message. "Mikey packs all our shipments. Mikey works very hard. Would you like to leave a tip for Mikey? All money goes directly to Mikey."

I thought - "are you kidding me? This is what we have become. Now people who are loading boxes are asking for a tip from a stranger for doing their job. WOW!!!

Hey, my kid needs to fill his tuition fund.

On a side note, I hope the pills I sent made you feel better about yourself.

Tell Mikey he should have worked harder in school. I ain’t tipping the dude for doing his job.

Sadly, these days you can work very hard in school and still pack things while you look for better work afterward.
But no, I'm not tipping Mikey for doing his job either. And I don't want any pills from Pennsyltucky.

Nice work Goright for cesspooling this thread!

Take a pill from someone at PSU and you’ll wake up with your rear end hurting.

Start? Pfft...given the number of guys at his level they have had in the HWC, we've been in "start" mode for years, if not decades.

Hanging on to our favorites because they were good guys from an underachieving college program is part of the problem.

Man, this is a tough crowd. I see where you are coming from. I think it starts and ends with the coaches. Everything else in the middle is just peanut butter and jelly.

I still have not received my order. I am beginning to wonder if Mikey holds a grudge.

Or if he's still wants payment. Maybe if you said some nice things about him, or voted for him, you'd get your order.

He left Iowa and joined Spartan RTC so yeah we lost him also to another RTC.

Anything more on this?? There's been no announcement to my knowledge.

Heard he was visiting Michigan. Woods , Lewan and Ragusin are there so it would sense. They trained with Izzy growing up

Think i saw some stuff about him and Spartan RTC at Cornell as well

Mr. PeanutButter · 2026-10-22T13:40:31-0500

Losing arguably the 3rd most credentialed wrestler in the program sucks. Especially to a rival RTC

You might have been confused by the same post I misinterpreted. That comment apparently was about Kemerer.

Oh okay yah that could be it but I thought i saw a podcast today that the Cornell Kevin guy left a comment saying mikey visited the Spartan RTC but I could be wrong

Word is Mikey is headed to Michigan. Sucks

If this is true, how is this somehow the transformative springboard for Caliendo becoming a factor at the international level?

Have nothing but respect for Caliendo and his accomplishments as a college wrestler. No one worked harder, he was mentally tough even when things didn’t go his way and he never made excuses. But having said that, azzhat Messenbrink toyed with him, and Messenbrink isn’t a guaranteed medalist at the world championship level.

Does he have dual citizenship somewhere? Michigan has been very good at getting other countries medals…

Could be he just got a job in Michigan and wants to keep training. Maybe they offered him more money than HWC. Doesn’t have to be an anti-Iowa thing.

Caliendo just beat Burroughs 7-5. He was up 5-0 with :40 to go

GableBeer · 2026-10-23T22:00:03-0500

Great training partner for Cliff Keen I guess.

JB, completely out of character, did nothing the first period.

Agree JB didn't do much in the first.Caliendo had Justin Peete ISI wrestling in his corner. Peete is now the head coach at Hononegah where the Cassioppi's are from

Where is Mikey??
