Per one of his family members (who a friend of a friend of mine knows quite well), Coach Snyder is fine. It was all rumors, started on a KU message board, and passed by well-meaning people around a couple of B12 athletic departments, from where it spread via text message. Glad to be able to report that it's not true.

From what I'm hearing, it may well have been something that was an overreaction by a nurse who saw Coach Snyder come in with some relatively minor discomfort in his chest, or something to that effect. Everything's still remaining kind of sketchy right now, though.

If you get any updates let us know right away, OK? I'll try. You guys are the only message board I could find that's picked it up thus far. I'm HOPING that the old saying, "no news is good news" is true here, and that the fact that it's NOT a huge story splashed everywhere means that it's not life-threatening. Maybe it's just as simple as Coach had some chest pain after a jog or something like that. Every man a Wildcat.

From a Cat Fan: Unfortunately, this appears to be true. I just received a message from a friend of mine (a Hawk fan, no less) who has contacts all over the Big 12, stating that Coach had a heart attack this morning, and is in the hospital. No word on how severe, nor any type of prognosis. For once, if this is true, our old saying at KSU rings true: Every man a Wildcat.
