do you seriously realize how bad KSU was? they were about to drop football. only the solid basketball teams of the 80's kept them from being booted out of the Big 8. they were beat by Austin Pea.
in 11 years Snyder took the worst football team in the nation to a Number ONE ranking, and if Bishop would have just fell to the ground, the 1998 title game would have been different. we were one fumble away from a shot at a national title.
rag on him all you want, his system works. I loved KSU in the dark years, and love them even more now. If Snyder sees no reason to play those games, then who am I to complain.
granted, I would like to see a more challenging team than some that he lines up, but is NU all that different?? in thepowerhouse days, you played Pacific in thier first year or two of DI ball.... and one year when Miami and NU were bitching about wanting to play, KU and another team offered to play each other, leaving the date open for NU /Miami but the big boys decided to not accept the offer... so go look at NU's history...it aint as pretty as you think.
plus, NU has that gay blow up doll as a mascot! Herbie Husker was a cool deal, now with this new thing, you ought to be ashamed
