Will old man snyder ever win another bowl game?

[Please]

Just curious.. A lot has happened since 2002.

[Unruly]

Probably.

[pissclams]

i think he probably will too.  agree with unruly here.  never underestimate the ol' ball coach over there in lil' ol' manhattan kansas, also known as titletown.  for me though, and i'm being honest here, bowl game wins has never been a metric i paid much attention to.  sure it'd be great to win them all but they're really only exhibition games, save for 1 of them, and mean nothing.

big 12 trophs are the measure of a gridiron man.

[wetwillie]

Is there financial reward for winning the game?  If not it probably won't happen on purpose anyway

You know you're elite when you haven't won in the postseason since 2002.

[Rams]

more importantly, who cares?

[Pete]

I do not care if he never wins another bowl game.  Just keep having the wonderful seasons that lead to them.

[bws]

Elite schools shoot for conference championships (3 division and 2 dr peps) and 10 win seasons (up to 9 now!!). We don't really care about the result of exhibition games. Weve been to so many they all kind of blend together. Only one counts. The trips are fun though.

 You'll get there KU.

[LickNeckey]

really don't care

[star seed 7]

the chances that snyder wins another bowl game are better than the chances that ol' charles will take ku to a bowl game.

hope that answers your question well enough.

[PowercatPat]

You know you're elite when you haven't won in the postseason since 2002.

Or a conference championship in 45 years.

[DQ12]

I don't know.  I doubt it, really.  For whatever reason, ever since '02, Snydes just has been a bad bowl coach.  I don't know whether it's easier for teams to prepare for our offenses now or Snyder outthinks himself, but we always underperform in bowl games.  A lot of people here say it doesn't bother them, but it does bother me.

Bowl games, especially awesome bowl games (cotton, fiesta, etc) are a blast to go to, but they're not as fun when you don't win.  Fun, but not as fun.  I love Snyder to death, but he needs to figure out a way to win bowl games, or those huge crowds that travel over a thousand miles each year are going to start to dwindle.

[DQ12]

Having said that, fantastic moments during regular seasons are far and away better than any bowl game i've been to, even the ones we win.  Outside of the National Championship, there is nothing like a great regular season conference W.

Its hard to see someone in such obvious pain cry out for help over and over again, and theres nothing you can do 

We're here for you when you want to talk about it, beems.

[Institutional Control]

Unless it's a national championship bowl, I don't really care about bowl games. I would much rather have a Big 12 championship over a bowl win.

[420seriouscat69]

Some teams try to prepare for bowl wins and some teams try to prepare for conference titles and natties. I guess if winning the aloha bowl feels your needs, good for you! If you won the big 12 and have no shot at the natty, than prepare for the next season in your exhibition game. The outcome doesn't matter, we all know the natty comes down to the elites, if you're not in it, than prepare for next season, the chowder puff bowls are for teams trying to break .500.

[pissclams]

this sums it up well.  the bowl game, to me, is nothing more than a chance to celebrate everything that led up to it.  and no one, outside of ku fans, remember who was in what bowl game last season, let alone who won and lost them.  it's sad and pathetic that they think they've got a talking point on their hands.

i pity ku fans, i really honestly pity each and every single one of them. 

[sonofdaxjones]

Look at the enraged #20straightconferencelosses/#45years fans.     

[wetwillie]

Can you imagine having to trot out the women's track thing again and again.  That was to kill him inside.  I honestly can't believe he has continued it.

Looks like we've found the one honest, non-butthurt, good person on goEMAW.  No surprise that he goes to Illinois now.  Once you escape from the propaganda in Butthurtville, you start to see life differently.

Stars win bowl games. Imo, this is where the cruit strategy gets us in troubs.

The entire nation celebrates college football.  We tear conferences apart on account of college football.  To have a team that wins on Saturdays is a truly a joy.

Jesus that is a humiliating list.  Just terrible. Un-American, even.
