I agree. If he is 100% should be a lock to start and be a leader for the defense.That's great news. Very important part of the D this year
Great news that he’s 100%. Perhaps a safety will play some LEO? His DUI was last season. I believe he was suspended 30 days which included Bowl prep and trip to NYC.Start the first game after his off-season OWI? That isn't very Kirkish.
On Passing situations as a linebacker?? Blitzing Qb would be NITEMARE?That's great news. Very important part of the D this year

Super Extra Pumped to have a 100% Brandon Snyder ready to go for the season. Brings a physical presence to the defense. Hope he's a bully back there. Go Hawks!
.....His DUI was in December. Suspending an injured player from a game he was not even going to dress for sounds like something Dantonio would do.

He wasn’t allowed to go to the bowl game so if he was going to be suspended for game 1 then he should have traveled.I should clarify. I am a KF fan largely because he has stood for accountability and has been consistent in imposing consequences when his players went over the line. I am also happy that Snyder has recovered. He will help the team. He messed up. I would expect him to be suspended for the first game based on similar situations from the past.

We dont blitz. We dont think it is fair to our opponents.

People make mistakes. A DUI certainly is serious, but the young man has paid the consequences. Time to move on.
BTW: Think about all the crimes and immoral acts people in the highest positions of government, education, entertainment, religion, and every other field have committed as adults. We all are flawed. Let's avoid the temptation to be sanctimonious when it comes to college athletes.
Good luck with that in todays world.People make mistakes. A DUI certainly is serious, but the young man has paid the consequences. Time to move on.

He’s gonna have to battle to get on the field. Iowa’s young safeties are studs
So, would a true freshman have to wait until their redshirt is over or until they get on the 2 deep to take their suspension. I think missing a bowl trip and all the money/gifts And 40 days off the facility should count as something. I personally hate penalties that are not immediate. Crossing over to two seasons and 8-9 months becomes extreme. This might be the first that I recall to have a punishment cross to next season.
Just curious how you felt about Rucker's deal with MSU in 2010. He was in jail 8 days and missed two games while in jail. There was a howl of indignation on HROT when Dantonio let him play against Iowa with no school-imposed consequence. He wasn't going to play in the prior two games because he was in jail. Snyder wasn't going to play because he was injured. Saying a guy served a suspension when in fact he wasn't going to play anyway seems a bit disingenuous.
And let's be honest about how much of a punishment it was to not be able to go to NYC at the end of December.
And as for it being unfair to carry over a suspension, I know of cases where HS players have been suspended the first game of the season for getting kicked out of the last game of the previous season.

He didn't get to travel with team to NYC. I'd say he probably viewed that punishment as bad as missing a game on the field.
Is missing the free trip to NYC or missing the N Illinois game a harsher punishment?Start the first game after his off-season OWI? That isn't very Kirkish.
