As if you needed any further confirmation that ageless Bill Snyder is indeed the classiest man in all of college football, here’s Reason No. Infinity.
Snyder’s Kansas State Wildcats continued its spell over Texas, jumping out to a sizable first-half lead then holding on for a 24-21 win over the Longhorns. It was the fourth loss in five games for UT, further cranking up the heat underneath Charlie Strong‘s coaching seat.
In fact, the loss likely served as one of the final nails in Strong’s Austin coffin.
Perhaps sensing what the loss meant to his counterpart on the other sidelines, Snyder took the time in the postgame handshake to offer what were no doubt heartfelt words of encouragement to the beleaguered Strong.Bill Snyder with encouraging words for Charlie Strong after the game pic.twitter.com/HfrTb35z76

What else, though, would you expect from a man who still handwrites notes to opponents after they beat his team?
