Things we learned: Week 1

[steve dave]

Maybe Sean was preoccupied worrying about his daughters coming engagement that he forced 50k paying ticket holders watch?

[Stevesie60]

Did you guys know there's a Snyder who plays on the team as well?

Huh. Small world.

the happy couple walked up and down my aisle about 15 times.  distracting me, Pat Bosco (sitting 3 rows behind me  ), and others in the process with their 4 quarter receiving line.  drawing attention away from the field is not the correct way to support the KSU Cats.  a shameful display it was indeed! 

Dr. Bosco and myself will expect better things at future home games from those around us.

...with a team that was missing their #1 QB and WR...

THIS.

Both D_Scott AND Cassidy intimated in multiple tweets about how this would lead to a big day for KSU.

The defense did have a big day.  Would've been a shutout had Bryce not fumbled

Actually i believe that was there starting QB according to Wyatt..

T.J. Pryor is their normal starter (or was last year). He was a freshman last year and led them in passing and rushing. Also, never listen and/or absorb anything wyatt ever says

Congrats on the win EMAW's !!! 

You'll be thrilled to know that Michigan also was victorious on Saturday.. We were able to defeat the WMU Broncos (my alma mater), well actually WMU quit in the 3rd quarter because we kept getting weather delays..

It was bittersweet for me, being that I spent 5 great years at Western Michigan.. It was like choosing between the love of your life, and a hooker that you visit weekly for a few years..

Anyway, the important thing here is that you guys won, losing to FCS teams really suck.. Everybody struggles against shitty teams now and again, but as long you escape with a win then it's more of a learning experience, or some crap..

michiganisgood,

have you guys ever had the daughter of the head coaches son (who happens to be our special teams coach) proposed to during the actual game and they put it on the big screen and stopped play for it? because it seems like it's probably a fairly common thing.

[/quotedidnt know Sean's daughter was getting married also..I mean like it was Whitney who was proposed to right?

did this really rough ridin' happen?  that takes the k-stateo cake, if so.

[kso_FAN]

Whitney is Sean's sister and Bill's daughter FWIW.

[Dr Rick Daris]

Whitney is Sean's sister and Bill's daughter FWIW.

oh yeah. I guess there are just so many snyders involved in ksu athletics that I sometimes get them confused.

[Pete]

Don't forget the part about him being in the pre-game color guard as well.  He's a fireman.

yeah, I mumped that up

[The Whale]

Wait, so Whitney isn't marrying Tate?

I thought I heard something about trying to keep the bloodlines "pure".

[pike]

The head coaches daughter, special teams coach's sister, and a linebackers aunt all got engaged the other day at the Bill.

This team's FHSU?

[Emo EMAW]

I got into it with a few tucks, even a younger tuck, over the special teams.

I can't remember if it was Lockett, but someone caught a punt on the 3 yard line and was quickly tackled very close to our goal line.  I went ballistic. I screamed "let the rough ridin' ball go!"  This old man turned around and said "gotta catch the ball to score."  And I retorted "not on the rough ridin' 3 yard line!  You let the ball go!"  He didn't like my signs of disrespect and turned around.  Then I started complaining about the special teams play and how the coach must be horrible and this younger tuck commented "well the coach's name is on that wall over there [/pointing to wall]."

Yeah it was Lockett.  He did it twice inside the ten, which drove me nuts.

Bad discipline/coaching.

[Emo EMAW]

Oh I almost forgot.  The old tuck after I yelled at him said "well that's Lockett's kid and he's got a lot of pressure to return those for touchdowns."

do you guys think it's possible that sean is such a "punting coach" that he coaches our punt return to do things to hurt our own team but would help out the other teams punter? i hope he isn't doing this, but based on what i saw last week, i have to say it's possible. he should be put on probation immediately until it can be inspected at least. if he's cleared, then i have no problem letting him back on staff but i would want someone to be in charge of him and watch him.

rick daris is just a screen name you idiot. i'm ray mother freaking guy for all you know. what a joke this place is. 

[Emo EMAW]

More like Ray Finkle.

[Stevesie60]

You guys have no idea how much pressure Sean has on him to be a successful Associate Head Coach. There's no way he's able to focus on a aspect as insignificant as special teams when he is associately in charge of every player, offensive scheme, defensive scheme, and not to mention all of the assistant coaches. Maybe you guys should sit back and think about how much is on Sean's plate before you start criticizing something as unimportant as punt returns.

[bigwillie20]

Love how we got a holding penalty on a punt and the rough rider still blocked it
