Tom Ryan's comments after the match

How great was the PSU fan walking by talking smack during the interview.
Priceless!

Frankly, I like Tom Ryan. Sometimes his comments get under my skin, but generally he is gracious even in defeat. This isn't the first time he's complimented PSU wrestlers. The taunting of the passersby is uncalled for. You don't kick someone when they're down. Show Penn State class - as exemplified by Cael and James Franklin.
Just hope that guy doesn't do that to Terry next week. He'll take him out!
Not much. We saw how our lesser guys fought to minimize bonus when one of their hammers gave up critical bonus late in the match. We know who has a great program and it is not the team that lost last night.
If you listen all the way to the end, Ryan again calls for dual meet results to impact the national tournament. This is total BS, the National tournament should stand alone for the team title. I hate when Ryan and a few others push for combining dual meet results with the team title at NCAAs and on this I think Sanderson and the Brands brothers are on the same page.
The difference, Tom, is in order to be ready for these moments....the ones where you force NATO and Snyder to score lots of points is have them wrestle like that, with pace, all the time You know...like our guys...like Bo who picks up dual winning 2 NF points with 2.8 seconds when the swipes start.
This!
David Taylor - “If you have grown up your whole life winning 4-2, you don’t all of the sudden say ‘I’m going to win 10-2 in college.’ It’s a mindset and a lifestyle. If you want to win by 8 points, you have to push outside your comfort zone.”
I have a hard time understanding Ryan in this. It sure sounds like a dig at PSU (5 great wrestlers), but all the points of distinction for a good program (vs good team) apply VERY WELL to PSU. If it was meant for PSU it sure doesn't apply at all!
