I think it's a combination of things, that Snyder may had stuck around a little too long after 2003, but also the fact that Oklahoma got good and Texas got good, as well as assistant coaches under Snyder, who has excellent recruting skills left as well.

I think it's a combination of things into one.

Saul answered it, but yeah.

OU was good before 2003. So was Texas. The recruiting was just not there.

Compare our team from 2004 to today. I mean, Dylan Meier - seriously? :shake:

They were good before 2003, yes. That's where K-State had some of their assistants (Bob Stoops anyone?) bailed out on K-State in 98, which severed some of their recruiting in Texas and Florida. I can't recall when Bennett moved on to SMU, but he also had strong ties to Texas as well.

Oh, this K-State team is a hell alot better than 2004. I mean, Dylan Meier shouldn't even been QB'ing, let alone be on the D-I level.

This seems like as good of thread as any.

Does anyone have a .gif of Prince's celebration from last week?

So, Mangino got lost on a recruiting visit to KC.

Stopped and asked a gas station attendant, "How can I get to 435?"

The attendant replied, "Eat more salad?"

LMAO

I'm a KSU homer?!! HEH!

More like a Heavyweight fight. The Cripple fight is in the Big XII south, my friend.

Well, maybe not so much a KSU homer as just a plain old KU hater. Your hatred for everything KU clouds any sort of rational thought. Anything you say about KU must be taken with a grain of salt.

So you're saying he's Skip wearing purple-tinted glasses?

BTW, I scored some tix to this game. Mangino better not let me down. :cuss: I'm going with my wife and FIL, who both happen to be Wildcat fans. Ugggh. Hopefully, we will see a good game.

Seeing that he has only won 2 conference road games, you may be in for a long day. :)

Where are you sitting?

Yeah, I know. A guy at my wife's work had 3 tix for sale. He couldn't go this weekend so he sold them to us. When she first asked me if I wanted them, I'll admit I was hesitant. MM hasn't given me much reason to be confident with his teams' abysmal road record in the conference (or even outside the conference). But since she is a KSU fan as well as her dad, she decided to get them whether or not I wanted to go. Basically, I'm going whether I like it or not. Even if KSU wins, I hope for a competitive game. If it isn't, then I'll be ready to kick the fat man out of town.
