2009 Kansas State Football Preview:
Head Coach: Bill Snyder
The big story of the 2009 Kansas State Wildcats football season will be the return of former Head Coach Bill Snyder. Snyder coached Kansas State for almost 20 years before retiring a few seasons ago. But now Coach Snyder is back on the sideline in Manhattan, where he'll have to get used to coaching in a stadium now named after him, Bill Snyder Family Stadium. This could be a great move for the Wildcats if Snyder can reclaim some of the success he had before retiring and get KState back playing in the Big 12 Championship Game.

Kansas State first fielded a football team in 1893, and aside from some good seasons in the 1920's and '30s, including a conference title in 1934, KState was historically one of the worst programs in college football. Bill Snyder's arrival in 1989 changed all that. Snyder's tenure would have the Wildcats win more games in 17 seasons than they'd won in 50 years. The Wildcats would play in 11 bowl games and win 4 Big 12 titles. Some of the talented players to play at Kansas State include Steve Grogan, Mark Simoneau, Martin Gramatica, and Michael Bishop.
The Kansas State Wildcats play their home games at the Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium. Known as “The House That Bill Built”, the stadium holds a capacity crowd of 52,000. Between 1996 and 2000, KState would win 26 consecutive games at the stadium. Bill Snyder's influence is apparent at a Wildcats game, where although their success is relatively recent, there's no lack of tradition or honor evident at a game.
