Bill Snyder has lost his mind


Recommended Posts


Granny Snyder the hypocrite

 

 

Flunking out of Mizzou in 1958 helped make Bill Snyder who he is

 

 

While Snyder joked that his initial failure at MU was because his IQ was probably “single-digit” and acknowledged there had been some “goofing around,” he soon offered what he believes was the most telling reason:

 

Without a strong academic support system at the time, without “all those things that they have now,” he was “just lost.”

 

When Snyder, who has previously referred to himself as the “10th-string” quarterback on the freshman team, returned to his home in St. Joseph, he was heavy with guilt because of how his mother, a single parent who worked at a department store, had sacrificed for him.

 

That’s when then-William Jewell football coach Norris Patterson offered Snyder fresh hope in the form of financial aid if Snyder would “do right,” “take care of business” and perform in the classroom.

 

With that offer, which included a chance to play football again and work as a custodian at the athletic complex, Snyder was revived and wasn’t going to squander the opportunity.

I posted some stuff about this in the '17-18 CFB thread. It's total bullsh#t on his part. I'm curious to see the list of 35 schools though

I read that none were big 12 schools or future opponents of k-state. I also heard that some of the schools were fcs.
