re: I know it's not SEC related but Kansas State hires NDSU Head coach to replace the

Tuberville would suck eggs at Kansas State. It's about resources. Auburn has a recruiting footprint in the South, especially the states of GA and AL. K-State is in the middle of nowhere in Kansas. Snyder made his career scrabbling together JUCO transfers and 2 stars into contenders.

Tuberville took a program in crisis and returned them to a contender without actually winning a championship. I have no doubt that he could have done the same at KState with or without Tony Franklin. You guys get so upset that not everyone worships a guy with a 4-38 record versus top 10 opponents

So different conversation but I also think whats happened to Auburn over the past decade is pretty amazing. I remember when I didn't think twice about the program. Auburn in my opinion is a privilege to play.

Been wondering when someone would hire that guy

As a pure football coach Bill Snyder takes a backseat to NO ONE in CFB in the last 60 years. Not Paul Bryant, not Nick Saban, not Woodie Hayes. He was the most detailed human maybe ever to grace a sideline.

Look, I get what you are doing man. But before Snyder arrived at Kansas State, they beat 4 ranked teams in their school's history. They were 4-106.

Snyder won 23 games against ranked teams (23-61-1).

I get that beating 23 ranked teams isn't some amazing number, but you can't compare Kansas State to blueblood programs. It's Kansas State. That would be the equivalent of someone getting Vanderbilt or Kentucky to within 1 game of a national championship.

Just admit you're wrong and let's move on. Kansas St when Snyder took over was today's Kansas/Rutgers/Oregon St but had been that way for the previous 40 years. He took them a game away from the NC twice, and also had numerous top 10 finishes. Don't let the last few years take the shine off the dude. He was an incredible coach.

Just stop. The dude took walkons and 1*s and won major college football games and bowl games. He’s one of the best coaches of all time. You’re a damn idiot.

Who give a flying you know what about big 12 news?!

wonder if he’ll end up being as wildly overrated as Snyder

New to college football I see. Well, it's played with this thing called a "pigskin" (it's a ball shaped like an egg) and your team tries to move the ball to the other teams end of the field by running with it or throwing it to another teammate.

Lot of people watch this event in a thing called a "stadium"

They jump up and down whenever the ball is in play, it's just unreal. Oh, and get this , they even have bands playing in the middle of the contest. Not kidding you, dead serious.

And for some reason, after the game is over, some of the players get mad and dump a huge bucket of liquid on their coach. Or it could be he gets hot running up and down the sidelines and they just trying to cool him down or something.

Then there are these really weird men dressed up like Zebras, I kid you not, and they run around blowing whistles trying to get everyone's attention. My neighbor calls them Attention Whores. For some reason they all have yellow hankerchiefs and they must be drunk or something 'cause they can't ever hold on to them. Always dropping them.

Heck, one of them there stadiums has a guy who still thinks WWII is going on. He brings a cannon and fires that damn thing off. So far no casualties thank goodness.
And they got these real pretty girls wearing reallty short skirts standing on the sideline waving these colored paper like cloth things around. I think they trying to get a date. Anyway it's a neat event and you should come watch.
