Let's talk about this-- Miracle in Manhattan HOF discussion

[Kat Kid]

Games-  clear preference for historical context and landmarks as opposed to actual game content/opponent quality.  The 2002 USC game is better than several of those and 2012 OU is better than the UT game etc.

[Dr Rick Daris]

i think historical ones are what you remember the most long term, so i'm ok with some/most of the list. i mean, we've had some great b burners w/ iowa state but you won't find any game with them in my top 10,

[Kat Kid]

All-Snyder team- 

What is this Goolsby nonsense?  I want Travis Wilson.

[Dr Rick Daris]

the obvious with this insert is that the mercury knows snyder is retiring. will miss bill a lot. i think he's pretty snarky behind the scenes and i've always appreciated that about him.

[Kat Kid]

Ty Zimmerman over Jon McGraw is absurd.

[Kat Kid]

Brooks Barta over Terry Pierce!!!  LOL

[Kat Kid]

How did Laird Veatch not sneak in there?

[Kat Kid]

Mueller over Andrew Shull I will listen to, both had bizarre regressions in their production senior years

[Dr Rick Daris]

starting to look like kk doesn't really want to "talk about this" and really just wants to spout off his "takes". i mean that's fine but the thread title is certainly misleading.

I can't argue with much of that at all.  They did a good job.

I completely agree with that 1998 NU win being the biggest win.  There is no doubt in my mind.  I wept for joy and pride at that game, and every person around me did the same.  I have never, ever, experienced anything like that at a sporting event before or after.  I'll remember that for the rest of my days.

Ty Zimmerman over Jon McGraw is absurd.

McGraw was HM all big 12 as a JR.

Zimmerman was 1st team all big 12 twice and 2nd/3rd team all American twice. At least HM all big 12 all 4 years.

Yes, it was magical.

I'd put several guys ahead of Mueller, specifically Nile Wire.  But, I am emotionally attached to Nile Wiren.

i'm not arguing for one over the other but mcgraw was drafted in the 2nd round and had a ten year nfl career.

I enjoyed that game because of not only the game, but the entire season and week leading up to it.  The entire season was geared towards beating NU - we dngaf about basically anyone else.

[8manpick]

Holy crap he finally posted the article

that same emotion wants me to put Gaskins at lb.

i had a friend/roommate postpone his graduation from college so he could stick around for that fall season. everybody just knew we had a shot at something special/national championship/etc.

No doubt who the better pro was, but I thought this was about who was better while playing at K-State.

Rock Cartwright was the best FB and the best name in program history

[POD Lasalle Edition]

Damn Impressive Career for Coach Snyder. You're a lucky fanbase for sure.

[Dr Rick Daris]

i honestly have no idea what this is about. just adding a data point. does the mercury offer specifics on why they picked who they picked? i really liked zimmerman.
