I never get tired of reading articles that retell this story.  I was there in '86-'90 and the transformation of K-State football is one of my most favorite things in all the world.  Parents everywhere should read this  to their kids at bedtime and the world would be a much better place.

While Kansas was beating up Kansas State in 2008, a Kansas State graduate ran into LHC Bill Snyder in the press box. The grad had a look of disgust on his face. Snyder pulled him aside. Snyder’s look was granite and will.

Snyder growled: “Look at me. OK? We’re going to turn this around.”

Three weeks later, LHC Bill Snyder became head coach at Kansas State again.
Looks like that win hurt them more in the long run.

Would not have pegged LHC LHCBS as a growler.  Also not someone who would want face-to-face, sustained eye-contact with a rando unless it was a staring contest.

Definitely great capacity for meanness, but to me it's like an ice cold rage.  Razor sharp.  More terrifying because it's controlled, harnessed.  He wields it like implied violence. :dunno:

If it was in the pressbox during the game, he knew who the person was and they were probably family with a big donor who has input. Bill was schemeing/laying hey ground work to get the job back.

No it's not.  It's accurate and beautiful.

Opposing fanbases love to talk about how terrible KSU is historically, but I love that aspect of K-State.  Without that history, LHC Bill Snyder is just some generically pretty good coach who went to some bowl games and won a conference title at some generic BCS school.

Our astonishingly bad history is what makes all of this so unlikely and unique.

The whole thing is condescending
No it's not.  It's accurate and beautiful.

Opposing fanbases love to talk about how terrible KSU is historically, but I love that aspect of K-State.  Without that history, LHC Bill Snyder is just some generically pretty good coach who went to some bowl games and won a conference title at some generic BCS school.

Our astonishingly bad history is what makes all of this so unlikely and unique.   



Posnanski's writing style is far more insulting than the story. I don't mind when good writers tell the story.

Posnanski is to Albom as Stine is to King.

pffffft
