The Rise of Kansas State (Ft.

Historically, without Bill Snyder running the Kansas State football program, the school has struggled with an overall record of 355-553-40 with a man named Snyder not serving as head coach. The Snyder era has been the lone bright spot for a struggling program that may be one of the toughest jobs in all of college football. That was the viewpoint until the arrival of Chris Klieman. Klieman has rebuilt Kansas State into a Big 12 conference power who is always in contention to win the conference title and with the expanded playoff, may even have them in the position to compete for a national title. This is the rise of Kansas State.

Bill Snyder is easily one of the greatest coaches of all time and it’s great to see him get credit for accomplishments

[@jerrygleeson4769]

Bill Snyder was so far ahead of his time, when it came to offensive football. He was one of the few offensive minds who could mesh multiple concepts, seamlessly, into one philosophy. Those offenses in the late 90s and early 2000s were fun to watch and study.

[@TheJakeUtube]

When the AD that hired Bill Snyder was doing his due diligence by calling other coaches to ask about Bill, he called Bo Schembechler at Michigan and Bo's response was "Get him the fuck out of the Big 10". That speaks volumes.

Snyder won 11 games 6 out of 7 years at one point

[@graysongilbert8126]

Back when regular seasons were only 11 games, they were only like the 5th or 6th program to ever achieve that. Genuinely one of the best non-championship runs in CFB history, and likely the most underrated.

[@DamonNomad82]

4 of those seasons came back-to-back, (1997-2000) which was only the second time any team in Division 1-A/FBS had ever accomplished that (the other being Nebraska from 1993-97). For someone to achieve that at K-State, starting less than a decade after the end of the "Futility U" era, is far beyond amazing.

[@DamonNomad82]

I lived in Manhattan, KS from early 1988 to the summer of 1990, so I got to see the impact of Snyder's arrival firsthand (though sadly not to stay long enough to see the big on-field breakthrough that started with Snyder's second season). I was very young at the time and had no interest in sports until later, but I was still impacted by it. My mom had a friend from work who was married to one of K-State's starting defensive linemen at the time, and that player actually ended up quitting the team after Snyder arrived because he thought Snyder was out of his mind expecting the players to actually put in the effort and try to win. I also remember how wild the town got one September weekend in Snyder's first season with the team, as the Wildcats had WON a football game for the first time in three years (which was almost half my lifetime at that point)! It rivaled the celebrations of winning national titles I later observed while living in Lincoln, NE in the mid 1990s...

Hard not to root for K-State

[@TimeConceptSports]

Collin Klein was that guy back in the day. K State was one of my go to teams on NCAA 11 because of him lol

[@anthonyorman596]

Ou fan and K state was by far the team I hated playing because you know it's going to be a grind but as a kid especially in the 90s when we sucked because of the probation K state was who I rooted for watching Snyder build that team up against them Nebraska juggernaut teams of the mid 90s K state was the only team that could give the Huskers issues

[@wesray603]

Thanks for this good show. I think the KSU Wildcats are contenders for the playoff.

[@ilovedevinj]

Kansas St. will forever be good in my books after the Colin Klein era. I miss that so much

[@NickDowse-pg1cb]

Me too, still have hope Avery can become a heisman level qb without Colin

[@trevorthiessen6317]

Dude you should have been around during the Bishop and Ell Roberson/Darren Sproles years. None of the teams since then have been able to match the talent on those teams. Man those teams were fun to watch. That said, I love K State football and every year is always a lot of fun. Really looking forward to this year.

[@trevorthiessen6317]

In 2002, with Roberson and Sproles, Kstates defense led the ncaa in scoring defense at only 11.8 ppg, while the offense averaged 45 ppg. In 1998 with Bishop, they scored 48 ppg, while the defense gave up 14.3 ppg. In 2012 with Collin Klein, the defense allowed 22.1 ppg, while the offense averaged 38.8 ppg.

[@Redsox4444443]

Dalukes calling himself a pessimistic KSU fan is just perfect.

[@Robertoduran1106]

Hey mate, loved the video, but the audio seems to briefly cut out mid-sentence at times. Just wanted to make you aware.

[@lamonesjr4744]

Excellent video

[@kerrymcdonnell8929]

Lets Ride

[@RussellConwell12]

Ultimate Crossover episode

[@user-ec5xc9ym8x]

Peak collab

[@jemmitt21]

I found the audio kept cutting out every few syllables…

[@ItsJakeWilk]

Before Snyder, it was the toughest job in college football but after he left it, it’s not even close to the toughest job. He turned an undesirable job into a desirable one.

[@JabaJabaJib]

Can you do one on KU

[@SumoZerrs]

I went to school with some of these people

[@disabledhunter6813]

Good episode but couldn’t make it through whole video with the audio cutting out a lot.

[@mistyrains939]

Please do a video on kentucky football- somebody has to 🙃

[@Cristalack]

Running back on the thumbnail?

[@edricklouidor2362]

Hey could talk University of Arizona Wildcats football !

[@favre4ever39]

What was controversial about the 98 big XII game?

[@derrickcoupe8632]

Do SMU!!!!! Please 🙏🏻

[@topdollaju4964]

Do UConn

[@dingerboi4]

That WVU team seems like a trap

K-State LOST to Rutgers in the Texas Bowl.

[@Youngboylang_]

If they on the rise then why did WILL HOWARD LEAVE 😭

[@davidklotz1532]

Will Howard left because he was pushed out by how good the freshman was behind him. Similar to how Baker Mayfield transferred because Patrick Mahomes was behind him at Tech.

[@wakeupidiotsnow2611]

Will Howard has no speed and no arm. He is a graduate transfer to the BUCKWHEATS!

[@kaydencooper619]

Because he would’ve lost the starting job the Avery.

[@Buccey]

Because they brought in a freshman qb who was gonna start over him the next year goofy ahh

[@Buccey]

Also will Howard isn’t that good and didn’t fit the offense

[@THE-BASEMENT]

Stop trying to sound like a sportscaster by lowering your voice at the end of every other sentence. Just use your regular voice the way you would talking about sports to your friends, not like you are on TV. People come to YT for authenticity, not to hear someone trying to sound like he is on TV.
