Kansas State brings back Bill Snyder.

November 25th 2008 16:13
The AP reported yesterday that Kansas State’s all-time leader in football wins (136-68-1) will come out of retirement for his second stint with the Wildcats. Bill Snyder, now 69, had retired only three years ago after returning K-State to national prominence.

Under Snyder, Kansas State became one of only 6 schools in college football history to appear in 11 straight bowl games (1993-2003). On the flip side, the Wildcats will join only Northwestern as the only programs to have lost 600 games all-time. Ex-coach, Ron Prince, had a 17-20 record and was fired only 3 games into the 2008 season but finished out the remaining games.


Known to build strong programs via the junior college recruiting ranks, Snyder will once again be tasked with turning around the program and building on his earlier success dubbed the “Miracle in Manhattan”.

I know nothing about football. I'm just wondering why the vote count is so low? It doesn't seem right...

I'm not quite sure how the 'votes' work either - it might be so low right now because the post is brand new and not many have viewed it yet.

Randy?

Maybe, Jesse-podoll. But this blog was established awhile back. Are you a guest writer or does it belong to you now?

I'm a newer member of the blog - but it's my experience that each post gets a 'vote' ranking - not the entire blog. For instance, if you click on "NFL Playoff Picture: AFC" (left hand side, middle of page under "Popular Posts") you'll see it has a 49.

You may be right, jp. I've been at this a little over two years, started with low vote counts and now have a pretty good following (mostly because I tend to tick people off frequently!) Keep at it and I'm sure your numbers will grow.

You're welcome. It might be a little harder for you to tick them off than it is for me. I write about politics!
