Title: Snyder Writes NDSU QB a Congratulatory Note, Wins Heart of Nation
Post by: DQ12 on September 08, 2013, 09:15:16 PM
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.

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:

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.

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.

According to Shaggy, Bill has sent similar notes to Mack Brown in the past:

Dear Mack,

 I wanted to send a quick note telling you how much of a gentleman you are. No other coach is as gracious as you are after yet another humiliating defeat. The way you constantly praise me, my staff, and my players after each game has done much to add longevity to my career and sustain our recruiting. I know your are catching heat in Austin right now, but I want you to know that no single person in the Big XII has done more to ensure competitive balance in the league than you have. It would not be nearly as entertaining for the fans of the other schools if Texas were a football juggernaut like they used to be. I hope you make it to 2020.

 Sincerely,
 LHC Bill Snyder

 P.S. Tell Miss Sally I really enjoyed the oatmeal raisin cookies. The extra plump raisins do wonders for my 74 yr old plumbing.

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.

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.
I bet you guys are gonna glue it on the team van,right next to the NC decals

I would probably use it as a recruiting tool if I were Bohl: "You too could get an official letter from LHC Bill Snyder when playing here...that's more than recruits for Kansas State can say."  :whistle1:

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.
In reality it shows how much he didn't care about the game. Probably thinks it will help us in the long run

the reason this pisses me off is that snyder was the reason we lost and everyone here could see that the entire second half yet he feels the need to congratulate this kid. it's fine that he did. the kid did well. good for him. it's a nice gesture. WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO CONGRATULATE HIM ON A NICE rough ridin' GAME EVEN THOUGH HIS TEAM LOST, THO!

While this particular case is pretty cool, I've never understood why Snyder has gone to talk to the other team on a regular basis.   But many of our fans think it's just awesome, and I think it's pretty disenginious and frankly a little condescending.   It's been a nice turnaround at K-State, and Snyder is worthy of many accolades.   But it's not like there's a $hitpile of crystal footballs busting out the walls of the trophy case.

It also bugs me that we still run actual plays when the game is in hand and all we have to do is take a knee.  It's going to get somebody hurt one of these days and frankly it's just a dick move.

I seem to recall running a few unneccasary plays at the end of games last year with Sams and on several occassions the tackler went straight at Sams' knees.

Hey great, the guy looks awesome when the other team has given up and basically doesn't give an eff, they just want to get off the field, but by golly we got those extra reps.    :jerk:

I like the notes,  people chose to make them public on their own accord.   

-Do not like the post game locker room visits (and I don't care what people on the other team say, they're just being nice)

-Do not like the running of actual plays when a knee can be taken and the clock run out. 

Just, you know, making myself clear here.

I am sure people with tuck like tendancies are reading this thread in a state of rage.

If I were the QB of NDSU and had just knocked off the reigning Big 12 champion on the road, and then I received a letter from LHC Bill Snyder congratulating me, I would think that was just about the coolest thing ever. That letter would be framed and I would make my coach display it in the school's trophy case.

I'd be pretty pissed if I got beat and Bill strolled over to the locker room to give our team a chat, though.

Uh, I didn't say that at all. I think you and others are confusing how I feel about this specific instance as opposed to how others should feel. If this qb viewed it as cool, than cool. Not sure I would in his spot though.

I do think this is similar to the Nebraska fans clapping and fans of other Big 12 schools, including posters on here, bitched about it forever. Some fans and opposing players thought it was classy, others thought it was disingenuous.

All Wildcats are great, CF3. Well, maybe not those guys on the GPC politics board, but almost all of them are.

Sorry, I must have confused your " :flush: " post as you thinking it was a negative thing.

Did you read my previous post, you are confusing me right now? I view it as pud, I don't think that everyone should share that view. I think I have stated it about half a dozen times.

MIR gets kinda dumb when he disagrees with people.

I'm very confused as to why you guys want me to view this the way that you do. Seems weird that it offends so many. I like women's basketball, the rowing center, and the wildcat march. Quick everyone use 5 pages telling me that I should hate these things.

edit: don't bbs and drive

WBB - inferior product.
Rowing center - takes up parking space; you'd have gotten to park closer and pak'd longer Saturday if it vanished.
Wildcat march - I don't think I've ever seen it, but I'm sure SWP would be better in its place.

MIR, i am not trying to convince you to think differently, but:

Snyder talking in opposing locker room after 70-0 beat down = comparable to Nubb clapping

Snyder writing a letter to FCS QB after enduring an embarrassing loss = exact opposite of Nubb clapping. people don't ever bitch about Nubb fans being over-classy when their team loses.

I'm not questioning his sincerity, but looking from the outside to me both feel like pats on the head. I still wonder if Lache got a letter, if he didn't then I'd question the sincerity.

thought it was a simple good job letter. pretty cool is what i thought, he's written tons of these and this one just happened to get publicized.

however thankfully goEMAW was here to bring me back to reality and remind me of all the ways that it could be potentially viewed as negative. what a rough ridin' bad person that bill is.
Think whatever the eff you want to think bro, no one gives a crap. When I thought about why I didn't like the letter never did "I gotta convince rando guy, emawblast, to think like me" cross my mind. Get over yourself shitbag.

Jace should overlay that with a blank piece of paper and do a pencil or charcoal rubbing over it to see who the previous recipient was (assuming it wasn't the NDSU QB).

I'm not sure how much is on purpose, but its like Snyder did a 180 for PR since he came back.

That's so true.

He's also become softer in how he handles the media, especially female reporters. Although he's still a little curt sometimes.

Clint Trickett @CJTrickett9
This was honestly one of my goals for this season and game. Coach Snyder is the epitome of college football coaches!

I assume this meant one of his goals was to get a written note from Snyder. :D

By any means necessary

I bet Joan wrote it.

I bet Bill had her write 12 of them at the beginning of the year and just leave the name out until later.

Petty should be getting the same note.

Bill could just send it now.  I mean, Petty probably doesn't have a clear head on recent happenings.

Bryce would probably not show up for the game Saturday, just think that it happened last week.

Snyder estimates he’s sent one of these handwritten notes after nearly every game since he became the head coach at Kansas State in 1989.

“I wasn’t a good enough player, so if anyone sent anything to me, they were mistaken,” Snyder says.
