or was it just me?
Dear @Chief_05:
A couple of weeks ago I visited with the new students to Kansas State University. Several thousand of them attended a pep rally at the Family Stadium. I shared with them my congratulations and my admiration for selecting Kansas State as their school of choice. I emphasized the caring relationship between our faculty, alumni, community, state, student body and our football program, a truly special relationship.Again this summer as I traveled throughout the state and visited so many gracious alumni and Kansas State friends at a dozen Catbacker functions, I was reassured of the belief that prompted my return to the Kansas State University football program seven years ago.As I have stated so many times publicly and in my own thoughts, we (my family & I) came to Kansas State because of the people, and returned to Kansas State because of the people. You have been the foundation of the development of our football program and our University. You have taken our game attendance from 13,000 to 51,000. You have proudly followed our program throughout the country providing Kansas State, as I've proclaimed so often, with the three largest crowds in the history of college football to cross a state line to watch their team play and above all have genuinely cared about your "family football program" for the right reason.
As the 2016 season is about to be underway, I hope you will join us in supporting your program by filling "your family stadium" with caring passionate K-Staters. I understand that at least 6,000 K-Staters are expected to travel to California for the Stanford game in support of our young people. And thank you for recognizing that this is about far more than winning and losing and that its true meaning is relative to the development of quality young men who establish character and intrinsic values that will guide them to successful and meaningful lives.Thank you for caring.
Warm regards,
Bill Snyder
