Title: Another National Guy Writes Article About Snyder :sigh:
Post by: kso_FAN on October 31, 2012, 08:57:15 AM
This time from some Grantland guy.

Even after reading the Snyder formula/story for the 158th time it really doesn't get old. (http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/8570686/kansas-state-head-coach-bill-snyder-heisman-trophy-candidate-collin-klein-led-their-team-8-0-season)

"The whole time, he clutched a clear plastic bag in his right hand, as if he'd somehow detoured to a bulk-foods market for caramel creams on his way upstairs."

Some coaches find their edge in an offensive philosophy or a defensive scheme; Snyder's, at this point, seems based largely on accumulated wisdom.

I have an RSS feed for Weinreb's articles. He's one of the few Grantland authors who write intelligibly on college football.

When he was 28 and coaching at a high school in Indio, California, he tried to hire a hypnotist so he could find a way to compress six hours of sleep into one. (The plan failed.)
:bill: Might have worked if he could override the dancemachine programing.  :bill:

I've always wondered what an RSS feed was....and I still don't know.

His wire-rimmed glasses were perched on a vaguely avian nose, lending him, from the right angle, the look of a learned eagle.

Is this the first time Coach has been compared to a bird?  If so, bravo Mr. Weinreb.

Does it look different than throwing a javelin at anything else? no.  Does it look different than how a javilen is thrown 99% of the time (for distance)? yes

I'd heard the hard butter and hypnotism stories before, but I don't recall this...

They left out the one about snyder only letting players sit on one side of the plane so their rest wouldnt be disturbed by the sun on the other side.

Yeah. All these anecdotes are all rehashed to us. But it's fun to see national writers discover them.

it used to be impossible to get through marysville without getting stopped by a train. I once got stopped by 3 trains in marysville including the crossing just north of town. it was the worst.
