I went to a funeral today for a friend of mine that I grew up with - went all through grade school and high-school in the same small town. He was a rabid K-State fan his entire 33 years of life - I really do not think I ever met bigger one - he blew my EMAWness away. Anyway, after college, he stayed in Manhattan and eventually got a job with the athletic dept. as an IT Specialist.
After the funeral, when people were shuffling out of the small Baptist Church in little Eudora, Kansas, my wife and I spotted Coach and Sean Snyder, they were seated on the other side of the church. With all of the talk and publicity today about dirtbag coaches treating players like crap or cheating like crazy, I feel blessed and lucky to have this man representing my university. The fact that he traveled 2 hours for a funeral of an emplyee of the athletic department says so much about the type of person I have always known he was.
I just wanted to post this so some of you who enjoy badmouthing coach or calling him immature names might think twice about who this man is and what he means to true K-State fans.
