An excellent inside source for 28 years gave a very informative talk about various topics:

Snyder most unique person he has been around. Very complementary of him, but said there was a noticable drop in recruiting over past few years. Nothing new and he didn't give reason.

Prince most profane person he has ever been around. He couldn't go two sentences without swearing. He even swore in front of Wefald, Tim Weiser and Pat Roberts. His good assistants couldn't get away from him fast enough.

Snyder strenously asked Stadium announcing team not to give Miami-UCLA score during Big 12 Championship game in St.Louis.

An influential alum was standing on sidelines at St. Louis with source and he told source he had $ millions of endorsements sitting on his desk if we win. Source told him he just jinxed the game.

Chad May was a surfer and wanted to show team how to surf during Hula Bowl trip. He went to North Shore where there were very high waves and jammed neck and head into the sand. He could barely move his head and his neck very sore for game next day.

In 1996 Cotton Bowl against BYU K-State players partied and BYU didn't. Very hot game as K-State was cramping and BYU wasn't. Mormons don't drink and not caffein either is what speaker said.

He overheard Pellini call Snyder an asshole for running up the score in 2003. He loved it!

He really likes Klieman and staff. Klieman's first comment in first joint meeting was who is on radar and we need to go get them.

That's what I remember and thought some find interesting.
