Re: Snatching Defeat from The Jaws of Victory

There are no trophies or banners for leading at halftime. It is an arbitrary point in the game that means virtually nothing except for completing the result on the coin flip. Disagree. As stated above, the more points you are behind the more possessions or turnovers that are required to win. On ave...

Re: Snatching Defeat from The Jaws of Victory

Yep, and I think about half of those losses came in the last 5 years of his tenure. What was the record when K-State was behind at half? What was the in conference record? Easy to figure. Just look at all the games played, those in which he was leading and figure out the wins and losses. Of course,...

Re: Snatching Defeat from The Jaws of Victory

A rarity, HCCK has now lost three (3) games this season when leading at halftime. "Under Bill Snyder, the Wildcats are 180-11 (.942) when leading at halftime, including a 61-4 (.938) mark in Snyder’s second tenure, which began in 2009."

Re: Snatching Defeat from The Jaws of Victory

We’ve been so used to Snyder teams doing all the little stuff right to win when the Cats are outgained and outplayed. Now, it’s clear (horrendous record in close games) that this staff is capable of doing the exact opposite. 2 of the last 3 games we have seen our Cats be clearly better than the opp...

Re: Snatching Defeat from The Jaws of Victory

Said it once. We lost because we were outcoached. You do not lose a game when you are up eleven (11) points at the half. People can say that FHCBS was conservative. He was. However, he rarely ever lost a game when he was leading at half-time, and he most certainly was capable of picking up 2-3 yard...

Re: 'Cats v Bears

Let’s be honest. Snyder wins this game even with Howard but loses to OU. Their is upside and downside to Klieman, but still think his ceiling is high. Mess I dunno. 31 pts with Howard starting is quite remarkable. To gain that much rushing with no qb threat is remarkable. The last few possessions w...

Can't say I saw a complete defensive meltdown coming in the second half, but other than that the outcome wasn't terribly surprising.

Too bad we aren't leading any more.
I blame Gene. Job security is a bitc$
