There is no concrete evidence that anybody tried to kill him. Some goofball kid in PA, who wasn't politically inclined either way, taking a couple shots and getting his head blown apart. A lot of unanswered questions. Sketchy as the day is long. But that punk kid was no assassin. And some lookie-loo on a golf course who took no shots at all. Don't be wusses. I worked bars more than long enough. "86" means we're out of it - or it means to kick someone out.

What's interesting about the guys going to OSU is that their entertainment value. I doubt there's three guys who are more fun to watch in the 2026 class than Forrest and the Raney, who are all massive risk takers and don't mind giving up points as long as they score more. Vega and Lockett have flash too, as to a couple of the others. You may not like them, but they're going to be one of the most entertaining teams to watch.

Unfortunately it probably won't. The Safesport Code is pretty clear that (a) solicitation for prostitution is a violation, and (b) pleading to a lesser charge won't preclude them from finding a violation for what you were charged with. I doubt the public release of information has helped Snyder's cause. It's utterly ridiculous that the Safesport people have taken it upon themselves to claim jurisdiction over such matters. There's no victim. They need to worry about conduct where there's an actual victim, and stop sticking their nose into other peoples' bedroom to see what consideration was exchanged between two consenting adults. We don't need the morals police telling us who can and can't be on the world team. For an added dose of irony, prostitution itself is *not* a Safesport violation. Only solicitation. If the woman had paid Kyle to give him head instead of the other way around, he'd have been fine. Kyle's only hope is they adjudicate it quickly and let him off with an admonishment. But the odds of that are basically zero, as Safesport is famous for its foot-dragging and indefensibly slow handling of cases. On top of that, they're in turmoil after firing their CEO a few weeks ago, when it was learned he'd covered up the fact that their investigator was arrested for stealing money from a drug bust (apparently THAT crime is OK), which came out when he was later arrested for rape. (Details here.) Don't count on Safesport getting their act together before the weekend. Hope Snyder keeps his head up and comes back strong, and Safesport gets the reform it badly needs.

And dang, watching that video really makes me miss the Rob Kohl Cornell days. Another example of I wish I appreciated it more while it was happening.

I always have to catch myself on Flo. They are annoying with content control, but my god they are AMAZING artists when it comes to telling athletes' stories. The best part is how they get people comfortable enough with opening up about their realest, deepest realities.

I love how literally you’ve taken this thread title’s question

This comment reinforces the general sentiment best

You're just making things up because it makes you feel better. It is literally impossible to be prepared for any claim a person might make if nobody has made it before. Impossible. No amount of preparation can prepare you for the every single possibility. You're expecting an impossible standard, and as usual, just sliding past the first point I made because you don't have an answer for it.

It’s called preparation. It’s almost like you think they didn’t have this dip shyte come on the program and speak to what he spoke to. This is what used to be called journalism. It isn’t any more. Now it’s nonsense. But Thats cool.

I believe and I could be way off, but he’s still recovering from ACL surgery. He did wrestle HS albeit limited, wanted to win another state title.

No. Firstly, I have no idea if he pushed back, the video stops immediately after he Markwayne makes the claim. Secondly, you can't be immediately prepared to refute any claim anybody makes in an interview, especially of you have no idea if they're going to say it. That's why it's on the person putting forward the claim to prove it, not any and all listeners to refute it.

On FRL, Jordyn mentioned his next competition would be Fargo. Anyone know why he didn't compete at the US Open?

A prominent reporter on an excessively liberal news station. Not sure how old you are but back in the day they called it the Clinton news network. Thad’s sort of how long it’s been super left leaning. With that said. Someone said Biden stared this deal on the most liberal news section in the whole earth…. And no one challenged him. That’s evidence enough to ask you to refute.

This definitely wasn't his first rodeo.

It means quick visit. It was reported shortly after the article broke that it was in Snyder's texts, I'm assuming that's where he learned what it meant as that was the first time I'd ever seen it.

Yup. Just some of that famous altruistic and deep-seated love for Iowa that permeates the non-Iowa wrestling fanbase.

That's my point. He says only a serial offender would know what he and Snyder know. I still don't know what it means. And don't want to, either.

I was lucky enough to be just a few rows up from the mat for his semi in 2016 at the Garden. Between his wrestling and his smile he just lit up the arena. I'll never forget it. Best wishes to him in his future endeavors.

To be fair did anybody know what the term QV meant before this came out?

You have to offer evidence for people to refute, otherwise you're demanding they prove an ambiguous negative, which is impossible.

I have learned that Iowa fans don't know the difference between the future and the past. Iowa rhetoric is starting to sound like the drunk fat guy at the bar talking about what a killer arm he had back in '86. "Back in the day we were amazing!" Recency matters Hear are the national championship years for Iowa: 1975, 1976, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2021 Here they are for Oklahoma State(hence the reason for no more John Smith and hello David Taylor): 1928, 1929, 1930, 1931, 1933, 1934, 1935, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1946, 1948, 1949, 1954, 1955, 1956, 1958, 1959, 1961, 1962, 1964, 1966, 1968, 1971, 1989, 1990, 1994, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 Now for Penn State: 1953, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 Titles in the past 25 years Penn State - 12 Iowa - 4 Oklahoma State - 4 Minnesota - 3 NCAA Titles in the past 15 Years Penn State - 12 Iowa - 1 Oklahoma State - 0 Oklahoma State is more than a year deep in very proactively doing something about this. Oklahoma State actively killed their programs sacred cows to move forward to progress and long term health of the program. Non-hawkeye fans aren't raising these questions because they dislike Iowa, it's because they are concerned about Iowa.

Cael doesn't look like he's stopping any time soon and Cunningham will have his 2 sons on the team, I bet when they retire it will be Cael, Casey and Cody together. They are all early to mid 40s.

Aaah. The super great depression is coming. I forgot.

I’ve no idea who you are boss. But you didn’t answer the question.
