saw the handwritten snyder note to the okla st kicker tweeted earlier today. the predictable "omg, snyder & k-state is so classy!" tweets followed.
anyway, it got me to thinking: is k-state the most likable football program in the country? i actually think they might be.
here is my list of most likable college football programs nationally:
1. k-state. harmless little engine that could type program. snyder is beloved, people gush over the handwritten notes, program "does things the right way (!)", emphasizes family, never breaks rules, beats the tar out of texas.
2. duke. this is kind of a weird one since the hoops program is so hated. perpetually awful for decades and played the role of ACC's punching bag. now they're respectable. most people seem to like cutcliffe. the uniform/color scheme is sweet. spurrier voting them into the top-25 is always a fun offseason story.
3. okla st. am i wrong about this? i don't know anyone that hates okla st despite their success. most like their uniforms and stadium. they're not annoying like big brother oklahoma. they're a good team, but rarely a GREAT team, and are almost never a legitimate national title threat. usually have fun high scoring games.
4. oregon. uniforms and color scheme and pacific northwest mystique. the stadium looks cool. many people think the duck mascot is the best. probably occupied #2 or #3 spot in chip kelly era.
5. boise state. college football's only version of cinderella. probably #1 on this list eight to ten years ago.
just missed the cut: washington state (harmless, pass-happy, leach is coach), stanford (i despise them personally).
