Snyder in or out?

Are you suggesting that he could win 2026 Worlds if he moved to Stillwater?  I'd be super happy with a medal at this point.  I just don't see either happening in a full field.

Actually, with the right bracketing (or if someone sits out), I can see him as a bronze.

I have zero insight into his personal life, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say he's probably sleeping in a new bedroom. We are (mostly) all adults and have probably seen a friend/coworker/enemy on the rival dodgeball team go through infidelity on one side or the other. What usually happens? Typically two scenarios:

1) Everything stops for the philanderer. Everything. Reasons vary, but this is the most common outcome if the partner chooses to proceed. Results... vary...

2) Everything is poured into work because the partner chooses to move on after betrayal and the philanderer has a sole focus when nothing else is left.

If 1 then Snyder's done. No more medals. He may compete, but I'm calling it. He still belongs on Mt. Rushmore. If 2, then 2026 world champ incoming and it will be from Stillwater. This has been your daily dose of USAWTMZ.

Do you think Cael’s basement would still be an option?

Taylor bringing him to Stillwater would be pretty ballsy, but I could see it.  I feel like he’d be more likely to go to a lesser program though, maybe back to his roots in Maryland?

Maybe Cael has a doghouse?

My understanding is that they are following established procedure.  If Snyder were to not give it a go, Zilmer wins by forfeit.  Zilmer earned that spot, just as Snyder earned his own spot.  If they were to change the established procedure at this point, they would be opening themselves up to litigation and hard feelings from Z.  They can change it for next quad (maybe even next year), but my guess is they are stuck with this system for the time being.

(I made it through the whole post without saying "withdraws" or "pulls out.")

Hmmm... made through ALL THAT without Syderus interruptus, eh?
