PrintEveryone knows Kansas State coach Bill Snyder is old, especially without Joe Paterno to compare to anymore. But exactly how old is he? ... well, he's 72 - that was too easy. But what does it all mean? And how can WRNL present it to you in childlike terms? And can you make it sort of like the song "We Didn't Start The Fire"?
All that and more ...

If you're reading this the last 11 years should be pretty self-explanatory. iPod, iPads, iPSUmolestations, etc. If you do happen to be less than 11, its probably time to stop reading this site before your parents catch you.

That...is most hilarious
Love trashing a Big-10 school, any Big-10 school. Particularly the resident community college of the Big-10 (although no longer alone in that status since Nebraska became a member).
"Scientist clone a sheep: retitled - A KSU grad clones his girlfriend"
Now that’s just not nice. We all know it was a bunch of Scots who did that in Edinburgh.
You know what hasn’t happened since Snyder was born? Iowa State winning even a share of a conference football title. Actually, that might have been before Snyder’s dad was born (1912 was the most recent!). Don’t be jealous.

You're in the wrong place
Winning a conference title in football is every Cyclone fan’s worst nightmare. We’d much rather get a slice of the revenue of a BCS-AQ conference than some dumb trophy.
...? You can't do both?

Didn't we win a share of the North Division Title a few years ago?
Good enough for me! Plus beating Iowa 5 years in a row in the early 2000’s is much better than a conference title.

Got 1
someone may have to actually research this – but I believe the only Big 12/8/6 team ISU has a winning record against is …. the mighty Wildcats!

Correct, 49-41-4.
But 5-5 with Baylor at the moment.

HA
Not much to worry about there. I dont think too many people are jealous of K-state. Either way your entire football history is going to kick the bucket here any time now, and lets not forget what happens when he’s gone… *cough ron prince era cough*.
and what has K-state won like 1 conference title 15 years ago? seriously, you’ve won 1 bowl game in the last ten years, check yourself before you start running smack as if K-state = OU.
by CyssorMeTimbers on Nov 29, 2011 5:30 PM CST up reply actions
Wait, K-State =/= OU?
Now I’m confused.
Would you like some Freys with that?

OK
The syntax doesn’t make sense to me.
What does ‘=/=’ indicate, and in what language?
As far as I know it means "does not equal"
But I’m still confused.

I think so?
I use /= or != for not equal.. but I’m Asian, so I’m at a higher level of math understanding. No big deal.

Disappointed
Your first instinct should be to use ~=.
isn't that about equal?

Ha, that's actually what it should mean
Matlab uses it for ‘not equal’.
Also, CanAzn I need to clarify:
I did not mean to imply that I was in any way disappointed. != and /=, in that order, are my preference too.
What I meant was that your parents must obviously be disappointed in you.
That's a given.

6 is all you need
It is the number of points a football team has added to the scoreboard upon completion of the PAT.
Well, I've never had to use that symbol in word processing, so forgive me for not using proper characters
I was not a math major and only ever used math by hand, and this was my best approximation of a “does not equal” sign.
When written out, the “does not equal” symbol is an “=” symbol with a slash through it. This is what I was trying to convey.
And also, I was trying to demonstrate a light-hearted acceptance of the fact that KSU is no super power when it comes to football. Obviously, though, I failed miserably, and will now retreat into internet oblivion.
Would you like some Freys with that?

No need to apologize
Seriously, I just assumed it was some language I didn’t know. There are a lot of them.
Now I get what you did.

It was 8 years ago thank you!
It was KSU’s only title since 1934 (even before Snyder was born, good lord).
You do understand I’m doing some mild trolling to generate interest in FARMAGGEDON this weekend, right? Oh, and to Iowa and Nubs fans, fuck you. Farmageddon is ISU vs KSU.

you can't even seem trollish when you try
get some of you’re thuggy-ier BOTC members over here – you’re too nice.

Thanks? I guess?
By the way, your picture is awesome, but it would be better if it was in focus!

God damned dude
My Mom (I love her and all) looks like an older, slightly skinnier, Rosie O’Donnell. You’re a lightweight, or those are some serious beers.

I'm a lightweight - and I have really low standards
just because I rock, doesn't mean I'm made of stone.
You'd have to be a lightweight if you only drink that weak ass Natty Lite.
Would you like some Freys with that?

its symbolic ... like the Statue of Liberty
except instead of the French giving it to us as a gift, a Mizzou coed gave it to our coach and in return got his ass fired … even trade really. Tiger-whoures

I'm sorry about your mom's hair cut.

Agreed...
although i think the majority of Cyclone fans have said fuck you to both these school’s fans a lot already…there’s plenty room for more. Seriously, idk how either Memorial or Kinnick can handle that amount of douche…

dammit - I over work spell check so much it just gives up towards the end.

It was so good, I half wondered if it was intentional.

probably a freudian slip

That was the most depressing two years ever. At least I ate a lot of BBQ and got drunk in P&L after.

Last year was nowhere near as deflating as 2009. Probably helps that A. I wasn’t there and B. I never felt we were really in the game. Even after Klein’s TAINT.

Were you there in 09?
My buddy and I were in the parking lot afterwards using beer cans as footballs and mock kicking PATs.

Yes
And ironically, we were doing the same thing with a couple weirdos wearing ISU flags. Wonder who those guys were…
