Kansas State head coach Bill Snyder is known for writing letters to players on opposing teams after great performances, but on Monday, Snyder penned a different kind of letter.
According to the Wichita Eagle, Snyder sent a letter to Kansas State students apologizing for his team’s embarrassing 55-0 loss to Oklahoma over the weekend.
The letter was distributed via email by KSU athletics. Here’s what it said:
Kansas State University Students,
First, let me thank you for caring so very much about our football family of which you are a tremendous part. And, please accept my apology for the manner in which we represented you on Saturday. I know you are pained by the outcome, as I am. I hope that you will appreciate our players for never giving up even in the face of such adversity and the loss of so many of their teammates. I am proud of them and must do a better job of preparing them than I did Saturday. Please know you are greatly appreciated and considered a major part of this football family.
Thank you again for caring,
Bill Snyder
The loss was the third straight to a ranked Big 12 opponent for the Wildcats, dropping the team’s record to 3-3 on the season. The first two losses – to Oklahoma State and TCU – were by a combined total of only nine points, but Saturday’s loss to the Sooners was the worst shutout home loss in program history.
The Wildcats have a chance to get back on track this weekend with a road matchup at Texas (2-4).
