Yup, and I shed tears listening to the game the night he died.

Should have rode into the sunset after last season. It'd be nice if they'd wait until after the season so that we can send him out with a beatdown.
Don't worry, he'll announce the week of Farmageddon and getting every ******* call possible.
It wasn't so many years ago that a truly bad Colorado team announced they were firing Dan Hawkins during the week leading up to our game, and they played their best game of the year and beat us.
OMG - I want a K-State beat down this year almost more than anything else. CMC isn't the run-up-the-score type, but I sure wish he would make an exception regarding Snyder.Should have rode into the sunset after last season.

Final score: Iowa State 31, K State 14. Oh, wait, upon official review...So his last game is vs Iowa State? (Again). No thank you.
In 2004 it was KSU’s last game of the year, and yes we still had the MU ********.2004 wasn't the last game of the season and was at KSU. That win set up for the Missouri debacle the following week.
2005 was at home when that team was in the process of making it look like they'd figured it out.

KSU, hands down, has owned us since 2008 - they have legitimately beaten us. But did you watch last year's game in Manhattan? That, by far, is the biggest hose job in ISU sports history. To have a head ref wave off 3 flags in one game that benefited the SAME team - whose coach, most people (including the refs) assumed, would retire at the end of the season - was a total travesty! The last one was especially egregious that cost us the ability to basically score to put the game out of reach OR, at the very least, bleed the clock to almost zero & bleed KSU out of timeouts. I expect us to beat KSU this year - but you can't put anything past the Big XII officials when it comes to favoritism (for another example: see the hose job vs UT that likely saved Mac Brown's job for the rest of that season).
Wouldn't you be either way?
And this is something new???
So typical Saturday?
As opposed to any other game day?
"What is a day that ends in 'y' for $400, Alex?"
So, normal Saturday routine?
Never thought about it that way before, maybe ISU can do some history here and get rid of two Kansas coaches in the same year.I wonder if the timing of this rumor is a result of KU canning Beatty. Maybe they both have a similar shortlist? North Texas coach Seth Littrell?
I want you to know I feel like we were jobbed last year. Having said that, I have no doubt that coach Snyder has the utmost integrity, and honesty, and didn't have anything to do with it. I wish him the best, I know he's a good man and a truly worthy College Football Hall of Fame coach. I wish Coach Snyder nothing but the best, except 11/24/18.I've responded to these kinds of threads on other boards occasionally. It's sad for me. I know Bill a little. Our son started at K-State just as coach Snyder turned the program around, then got his MBA the year Bishop took them to the front step of the national championship game.
Bill is a wonderful, caring, giving human being. He doesn't cheat the task of life. Never takes a shortcut. Has brought wonderful football to K-State and around it contributed immeasurably to Manhattan and the university.
So, this is no fun for me. I hate seeing it end. I don't like writing about it. But one thing is for sure, whoever follows Bill Snyder will have the same monumental task as replacing Knight at IU, Bo at Michigan, and Evashevski at Iowa.
This score should happen. We are a better team than last year and they are much worse.Final score: Iowa State 31, K State 14. Oh, wait, upon official review...

Especially after what happened last year...
His post game answers on the QB situation this year have been really out of character as well. He also had that situation with the kid in the summer who wanted to transfer. He seems to be miss applying his own standards to himself and its just out of character and makes me think he is losing what made him so special for so many years.
