Post retirement Bill is absolutely adorable.  It's interesting how the media has changed the way it perceives LHC Bill Snyder.  He used to be considered a weird eccentric who scheduled creampuffs.  Now he's a classy elder statesman.  It probably helps that Snyder has been much less combative with members of the media since his return.

Most coaches would be grumpy and downright indignant after suffering a demoralized (and possible season-crippling) loss to North Dakota State.

But not Kansas State’s LHC Bill Snyder.

Instead of stewing about last week's stunning 24-21 defeat, Snyder sent North Dakota State quarterback Brock Jensen a note telling the senior how impressed he was with his game.

I think he said the same thing to Akron or some pud team in their locker room after we had won 70-0 or something

To be honest it kinda pisses me off. If you love them so much Snyd's why don't you just go coach them :curse:

I'm sure some of our players feel the same way. Which might be part of the intent.

Schemer's gonna scheme.

Coach Snyder spoke to many visiting teams in their locker room after games when we were destroying non-con opponents here. Their coaches always praised him for it.

Does anyone remember what North Dakota State quarterback Brock Jensen said after the game.  He was in tears and said this was the greatest win ever for NDSU.  So this was their Super Bowl; and much better win than the two FCS championship wins.
If I was Snyder, I'll send the boy something to remember his greatest achievement.  Guys. it doesn't get any better than this.  :kstatriot:
Id say in terms of magnitude, and how much it puts NDSU on the map nationally, this trumps the 2 FCS championships combined. Every football fan knows a hell of a lot more about NDSU than they did after the two championships.

The two championships(and if you want to count the 8 D2 ones) mean more to the program than the KState win. If that makes any sense.

This one is just on a whole new level of awesome.

Suck it, Broadway.
Your Cajuns were ill-prepared and no match for my well trained youngsters.
Perhaps more time spent studying and practicing instead of drinking moonshine and chasing cousins would help.
I expect to see better things from you in the future.
Please share this with your teammates.
Warm regards,
Bill

why do you dislike this MIR?

The same reason I didn't like when he used to talk to teams that we stomped. Just coach your team get all of that stuff out of the way on the field in the post game handshakes. I'm guessing if Shaq Reed wrote that qb a letter telling him how awesome he was we wouldn't be talking about how awesome it is. Not that it matters but I bet other coaches hate it too.

And carnes is right, its a little god complex-y. And to me it says "You were much better than I thought you'd be, good job little boy" Do you guys think he wrote one of those to Marcus Mariotta or Nick Florence?

Enough reasons?

I love the pen color though and he has great handwriting.

Those are fair reasons, MIR.  I don't see it that way, but I understand where you're coming from.

Anyone who ever complained about Nebraska's applause should feel the same way about this.

Talking to the other team after a game (unless invited to) is a bit douchey, I agree, but a letter seems different and more personal. 

I don't really care if he does or doesn't do things like this, I was just curious why someone would have a strong negative reaction to it.

Personally, I would be totally stoked to get a note from an opposing coach after a game, especially a coach as well regarded in the college game as snyder.

I can see MIR's point of view and almost commented with similar sentiments. By talking to the other team or writing a letter such as this, you are implying that you are far superior.

It's a backhanded compliment of sorts.


I still like that he wrote the letter and used to talk to opposing teams.

Well Nebraska's standing Os are the epitome of the self absorbed conceited nature of their fan base.  We all know how they didn't show this tradition for us when K-State had the superior performance.  But some individuals can step aside from their own disappointment and recognize a truly superior performance by a player or team.  I don't know enough about Snyder's personal method.  We've all heard the god complex-ie(y?) things he has done, but he has done some really gracious things too.  Having this come out in this context could put it in the gracious category.  A photo op with kid post game while handing him a werther's original from his pocket, very god complexy.

He also wrote a letter to the band after last week's game apologizing for K-State's performance.

honestly I think it's stupid...if you want to tell the kid good job do it after the game like most coaches do. don't need to write a letter, honestly if I was a KSU player it would piss me off.
