I don't see it like that.  I see it as this being his full time job and he found a place where he thinks he can get even better at his craft. 

Yea I get that but it’s just kind of weird to me when I hear him say things like he’s a fan of PSU wrestling. I understand that’s his home now but it’s still odd.

He couldn't beat Sadulaev and sought out improvement. And Tom Ryan never taught him how to get out from bottom.

Snyder was never going to beat Sadulaev once he grew into the weight. He could have the best coaching staff in the world in his corner and it wasn’t going to happen. He should thank his lucky stars Sadulaev isn’t allowed to wrestle at the Olympics.

 I honestly don’t understand how a person can just turn their back on the program where they had great success in. Did Snyder get screwed over by tOSU or something?

 

There is a video he did a couple weeks ago with a former PSU wrestler (Can't remember his name) and he said it was the best place for him to improve.   With Varner in the room and several other great practice partners.

Tom didn.t need to.  Snyder had about 200 takedowns in college.

Back in the day there was this kid, Dan Gable, was an Iowa State stud.  One day became a huge Iowa Hawkeye fan.  It happens

Mesenbrink hammered Monday 12-1.  

JB is sitting in the true third place match but will he wrestle?    Maybe he will wrestle in the challenge tournament against selected Penn State fans in the arena.

NLWC has like 8 out 12 guys in the MFS finals. It’s just the best room in the country right now.

Building a legacy at another school via coaching is different. At least in my opinion it is.

Luckily you have the same hindsight we all do to know this statement is true. At the time the series was 1-1. Keep trolling for laundry though.

I'm sure Tom Ryan understands what Kyle did.  You're not accusing him of turning his back on Hofstra by transferring to Iowa

Nolf v. Dake round 1 now!

Snyder won a world gold medal at 19. Beat our Olympic Gold medalist to make the team. He has 7 world and 2 Olympic medals. I believe 3 are Gold. Sadulaev was the best pound for pound wrestler in the world. Both of them both lost at Worlds last year.

Yes!

Dake looks good so far

Dake draws 1st blood...

PASSIVE BLEU!

[Takuto_Otoguro]

Wasn't it the loss to an old Sharifov in the world semis that made him switch?

 

Regardless, as good as PSU is, it didn't work. I don't think he's any better than he was before.

To cool the temperature in the room, I want to provide a love story. Zac Braunagel is one match away from the third place bout just like his girlfriend, while his brother Danny Braunagel is already in the third place bout.

All that despite these NLWC refs. 

Yes, because "nlwc" refs would naturally focus on screwing Illinois wrestlers. Long known fact.

2-0 Dake at the break...

Activity point for Dake... plus a pushout pt as well?
