Mitchell Mesenbrink

Imagine how demoralizing Levi and Mitch back to back in a dual will be
Even really, really good teams are going to get blanked from 141 on up, unless someone takes a night off.

As an example, if Sasso goes up to 157 next year, I don’t think tOSU wins a match other than 133.
 
Yep, Iowa's lightweight dominance pretty much ended with the graduation of McDonough, Ramos, and Marion.

Since 2013 the dual record from 125-141 is 12-9 PSU

I did a little more research. We have a 13-7 advantage in post-season action over that period.

The best lightweight room in the country? 25-16 (head to head) over an entire decade suggests that the narrative needs to change.

One caveat; we failed to qualify at 125 some years, so that might have robbed the Hawks of a few NCAA matches that likely would have gone their way.

I don't care if it feels like cheating. I want PSU to bury the field this year and every year.
Bury Iowa and a few others. But I’d love to see an ACC team give us a run for our money. Or ISU or Mizzou. Would like to see WVU competitive, too (though that’s not very realistic anytime soon).

Variety is the spice of life.
 
Thanks for sharing this link!:)
Even that “off-year” when we allowed Iowa to have the Team title;)
My memory is failing a bit. Can you help me recall?

Was that the year when PSU had 4 champs and Iowa only 1? Sounds like the back side points system is out of whack, just ask Ben Askren about that one.

Did they actually beat all of the competition and win a true 'national' championship, or did the Ivy's and their hammers give a pass to the Hawks as well?

I smell a nasty asterisk.
 
How good is Mesenbrink expected to be.. ik he beat Haines but that was in fs.. what u guys think of PSU’s chances to break 97’ hawks scoring record?? I think it will depend a lot on how Good Mesenbrink is..

I scored the hawks record at 172 under today’s scoring. They had 31.5 bonus points. It’s fun to say PSU has a chance at that, but if I’m being honest, I don’t see enough bonus from the squad to do it.
