&@#% This Meltdown, I'm Excited

[j-vonfeldt]

 

I know the 75% of the board is melting down (some sarcastically) because we didn't get Patterson, or because they think Bill is too old, or because they just like to over-sensationalize to get attention (Rusty), but I can't help but to be excited for next season.

I also wanted Patterson, but I grew to dislike him through the process, and am not upset we didn't get him at this point.  After I watched Bill at the press conference today it was pretty obvious that he is still the same guy, and will still give us a great chance to win.  I think the 3 years off were probably good for him actually.

Most of the posters here are too "hardcore" for this, but I do enjoy the sense of morality, respect, and "family atmosphere" that Bill strives for.  It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside, and reminds me why I'm such a huge K-State fan. Even though technology has probably passed him by, those attributes will usually work better than the fastest blackberry fingers in the Big 12. (see: Ron Prince)

For those posters that are glad to see him back, you aren't alone, and for those that really are bashing Bill, go root for another team, because Snyder is Kansas State Football whether you like it or not.

dude, it's cool to be excited. we are KSU fans. eventually we will all be excited.

I hope you and the rest of the "go find another team"-ers never ever ever bitched about Ron.

i was optimistic about prince and wished he would succeed until the very end because he was the coach of my favorite football team
i know, might be a hard concept for you to understand

j-von's post pretty much sums up how i feel
i am very excited for the future

You don't see a difference between complaining about a coach who had never done much at K-State except beat Texas, and personally bashing the father of K-State football?  After some of the comments I've seen, I can sortof understand those muslims that after a terrorist attack say "They aren't real muslims.  I'm left trying to figure out if all those spewing such vile crap aren't really K-State fans, but just trolls on a message board, or if they really are the "new" KState fan.  If it is the latter, than I weep for my alma matter.

Both were (are) our coaches, and there is nothing we can do about it.  If you don't like it, THEN YOU CAN GIIIIIIIIIIT OOOOOUUUUUUT!!!!!!!!!

[ltrain37]

The whole thing was a little anti-climatic...I was ready to be all   if it was patterson or all   if it was someone like mccarney...but then it turned out to be bill   ...now I guess I'll wait and see who the assitants are.  I do think the Snyd will get more out of his players than Prince...Prince was full of bs and I think his players saw through it.

Some of the people on this obviously arent "real" fans. They should be finding a lot out about themselves. But, in the event of huge success by Coach Snyder, they will all be back saying they'd been here the whole time and had season tickets since 1981. It sucks!

Couldn't have said it better myself.

TP, no offense, but can we not turn this site into a constant questioning of everyone's K-Statriotism?  I don't want to have to start everyone of my posts with "I've had tickets since [random year] but....."

Well, it is sortof a defense mechanism.  I certainly don't want to believe that K-State has such stupid bastards in their fan base, so it leads me to wanting to question your "K-Statriotism".

Hey, I've had tickets since 1996, you can't say that.

no, what it lends itself to is zero discussion, just people having pissing contests about their K-Statriotism.  No one wants to talk about why Bill failed, they just answer with "you're stupid" or "you're not a real fan" It's amazing, there were only about 15K in the stands for the North Texas game in '89, yet to hear all KSU fans talk there had to have been a packed house.

You are calling what is going on at this board discussion?  Its scum like Pete, yourself, and others crapping on anyone that thinks Snyder will do a good job, and completely blasting Snyder on a personal level, and joking about wanting him to die, so we can get a different coach?

My GOD man...This is Bill Freaking Snyder.

LOL.  I know, I couldn’t figure out if he is just f’ing with me, because basically his post proved my point. It’s bill, so just shut up and don’t question anything, don’t discuss anything because at the end of the day, it’s Bill.  No discussion, just raise your right hand out towards the sky, palm down and march.

dude, do you seriously not realize why you are offending some people? c'mon, I love you and all (seriously, LOVE) but don't be dumb.

[SupremeWildcat]

 Maybe it's because Catzacker has only been a season ticket holder since 1996.  I don't think that you can fully understand what a legendary coach Bill Snyder is unless you sat through those years before his arrival.  
Those of us that had tickets through the 80's truly understand.

[steve dave]

If you don't like it, THEN YOU CAN GIIIIIIIIIIT OOOOOUUUUUUT!!!!!!!!!

These are about the only kind of posts that really piss me off.  Christ, we aren't kstatefans or gopowercat.  Everyone is entitled to say whatever they want one way or the other.  Liking the coach has nothing to do with being a KSU fan or not.  Hell, showing how pissed off you are about the hire actually shows how much you care about the team because it means it got a rise out of you.  The same can be said for being stoked about the coach.  I'll never tell someone they shouldn't post here or be a KSU fan for liking or disliking anything anyone ever does...I mean, I will but I won't really mean it.

I just don’t like discussions/posts that are meant to be retorts/replies to my posts to end with “it’s Bill”. And that’s what’s happening.  It’s GPC here.  I throw out perfect, precise examples of why I question this hire and why I think it won’t work, and what do I get?  I get the same crap that you get on GPC….not counters to my points with actual facts or anything, I get “you’re not a fan” and “you’re stupid”

…..well f’em, I don’t care if I offend them.   At this point, it’s pretty much the funnest part about Snyder’s hiring.  Because they actually think that I want this to fail, that I will be cheering for the other team, that I’m some terrible fan.  I laugh because I’ll be at the stadium, I’ll be cheering, I’ll be donating, I'll probably be sitting right next to them....but I shouldn’t have to post that as a preface to every goddamn thing I say, which is what this site (practically in one day) has turned into.

Sorry, I forgot there for a second what a retard you are.  I'll explain it better this time.  Regardless of whether you feel Snyder was the right choice or not, personally attacking him, insulting him, and making up stupid names for the man who took K-State football out of decades of futility, and created a perenial top-25 program?  That is crossing the line at 100mph and not even looking back.

You want to discuss whether Snyder was the right man for the job?  Cheers!  Go ahead!  You want to personally attack Snyder and joke about his death?  F*#$ you and DIAF.

no, but the old man jokes obviously piss others off (i silently laugh) and you should understand this.

[jthutch]

My question is who else could we have gotten that would have appeased the doubters?  All the names you threw out there like Tuberville, Bowden, Fullmer?  These guys would cut off there right testicle before coming the Manhattan Kansas.  Venables was a maybe but not a lock and Patterson got Fitzed out of the job.  Now we get a solid guy who will bring some stability to a job that nobody wants due to a bad administration that is going to be gone next year.  This is the best possible hire we could have made in this situation IMHO.  We have someone who loves the program and the area.

I'd love to have a discussion about why Bill "failed" his last couple years.  I was there, I remember that it sucked.  Coaching had gone down hill, recruiting was a joke, etc etc. but that doesn't mean that if he's ready to make another run at it, k-state fans shouldn't be behind him.

He looked burnt out when he left, and he looked like old school Bill today, which is why I said the 3 years were probably good for him.  I'm not saying I wasn't worried either, but after I saw him I realized that maybe it was a competent hire.

I'm sure if you guys were looking at Paterno after his 3 win season in 2003, and his 4 win season in 2004, you'd be saying the same thing, but then forgetting about it after his 11 win season in 2005.  His situation is different for many reasons, but it still holds some similarity.

Everybody has freedom to their opinion, and I realize that people follow k-state for different reasons.  Some follow it to see winning at any cost, which is cool with me, but you guys need to understand that some people live it for the culture behind it as well, and I felt like giving those fans refuge amongst all of the hate and stupidity being thrown around.
