Kyle Snyder comments...

[amalone]

While he admittedly has friends on the team, Snyder brings a different mean streak to this one.

"Something about when you put them all together and they wear a Penn State singlet," he said. "I just want to destroy them. ... I just want to beat them worse than I've wanted to beat any team since I've been at Ohio State."





Let's go then... Kyle.

Pfffiiiittttttt

 

[ClarkstonMark]

Zain, Bo and Rasheed with pins tonight

 

[SJP80]

Kyle’s comment is how I believe he should feel. Good stuff. Good for the sport!

 

[WildTurk]

I won't put it past him but i will be very surprised if Rasheed pins Moore

 

[RVARZR]

I take this as Snyder trying to get his team and fans excited about the biggest dual meet of the season.

I suppose on top of that there is a bit of jealousy against a team that has won everything for so long. Everybody either loves or hates a sports dynasty. Not many are in between.

Good for the sport?
Which sport MMA?
This is college right?
Maybe my age is showing, but what happen to sportsmanship & respect for your opponent?

 

[PSUcup1]

Wouldn’t bother me at all if he said these things PRIOR to Nolf going down.

A lot easier to run your mouth knowing your opponent is not at full strength- missing their #1A weapon

It's tribalism. Amazon product ASIN 0615233163

Snyder can run his mouth all he wants. He is the best in the world.

Easier still to run your mouth against Northwestern or Indiana or Michigan State, right?

Without scanning his twitter feed, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Snyder didn't tweet anything significant about those teams.

 

[PSUcup1]

Snyder can run his mouth all he wants. He is the best in the world.

Of course..., About His individual match.

About a team that’s short handed is a bit different imo

I think he's a good sport and he definitely respects (and likes) PSU's wrestlers. He's just fired up, and that's what college sports is all about.

2 Time World Champion, Olympic Gold Medal winner. 2 NCAA champion. And he's fired up to beat PSU. I think that tells you something about great PSU wrestling really is. Even with one of our best wrestlers out.

What was said that was disrespectful? That he wants to beat us more than anything? There’s no trash talking there, just passion and rivalry. Not much different than rivalry from whatever era you are from. There’s are not too many current guys in wrestling that are respectful as Snyder. He gets it.

I see they stole the Miami football turnover chain idea and now have an Ohio State wrestling “pin chain”.

 

[nerfstate]

A lotta bluster from a guy who's earned the right to flex as much as he wants. Still--I agree, absolutely nothing disrespectful about sharing a desire to "crush" a worthy rival. In a little over a month, I'll never root against the guy again, probably.

He does know he can only wrestle one of the 10 matches though, right?

I doubt Snyder harbors any of that jealousy.

My sentiments exactly. And I'm sure if Suriano stuck around he'd be real humble and sportsmanlike.

I kinda thought the same thing. Nolf went down and they/he smelled blood in the water. He might have done it anyway, who knows.

Yeah. Again. Not a big deal at all

And I’d have LOVED to see this last week. But it rings a bit hollow following the Nolf injury.

 

[razorsedgeCE]

It's a great thing when people "love to hate" Penn State wrestling, means we're doing something right!!!

 

[Conewago]

I don't care who he is, or how many times he could whip my butt, but I'll be danged if I care one lick in Hell for what any old BUCKEYE has to say. He can win as much as he can win, but he ain't a Pennsylvanian, and worse still he's still a dirty BUCKEYE no matter what. He chose that life and condemns himself! GO STATE!!!!

 

[86PSUPaul]

Lol, tell us how you really feel!

 

[Conewago]

I may or may not be drinking ..... so that's all I've got to say about them Ohioans

 

[86PSUPaul]

He is warming up in his team USA singlet. I am not sure how I feel about that.

 

[Law-Deezie]

When you’ve accomplished what Snyder has you can say whatever you want...whenever you want.

 

[funkisfun12]

I would go with "may", and that's 100% acceptable. GO LIONS!

 

[NittanyChris]

We will just have to project the estimated 8-9 point swing that Nolf's absence costs us to see what might have been if both teams were at full strength.

 

[El-Jefe]

He is warming up in his team USA singlet. I am not sure how I feel about that.

Looks better on him than his school's singlet.

Then again, widespread poison ivy looks better than Ohio State uniforms.

Maybe he'll forget to change out of it and get DQ.

 

[Conewago]

Disagree

Even a fool, if he keeps silent, is thought to be wise.

I should know!

 

[TangSoo]

Keep it real!!

I see your point but the guy is an Olympic & World Champ and he’s still in college...hell with the NCAA titles. That said, someone said it best...his comments about wanting to beat PSU, when he’s “COMPETING AT THE WORLD AND OLYMPIC LEVEL; WITH SUCCESS” speaks to how great PSU is and has been the past 7-8 years...they’re on his Bucket List...nice place to be...

 

[Chickenman Testa]

My message to Captain America:

 

[ptomaselli]

Destroy? I think not!

 

[BigFreddy]

Olympic champ or not, that's exactly why you don't run your mouth on Twitter.

This ain't Siberia, Kyle. This is Rec Hall.

That is what talking trash will get you!
World champ but couldn't score enough team points to "DESTROY" the Lions.

I guess Kyle forgot to bring "hell with him"...

Anyone think that Snyder learned to keep his dam* piehole shut next time?
