Huge tip of the hat for getting 9 wins out of that rolling gang of stories around the fire on a cold winters day bunch of walk-ons, legacies and DITR's.
Also, a huge tip of the cap because you've embedded a perpetual dichotomy of feel good'ism when K-State wins games and all the tucks and announcers can drone on incessantly about how LHC LHC Bill Snyder and staff do it with walk-ons, lightly recruited kids and 16 points cultist. Then on the flip side, when K-State gets worked by a team with superior talent, that has good coaches and is prepared for a game, the same legion of tucks can all line up and say that you and your staff are trying to beat future NFL guys with Bazooka Joe and the Diamond in the Rough band.
It's a D. Scott Fritchen world at K-State, where the coaches are never really accountable when the team doesn't perform and you too cool for schooler goEMAW'ers are just going to have to learn to live with it.
