Coach Snyder will be missed, not only at Kansas State University but in all of college football. He did the impossible and should be commended for what he did for the university! Enjoy your retirement Coach!
Whenever I'm feeling blue I watch this video and get pumped up all over again. I was at almost all of the games in here (give or take) in the Snyder era. I'll never forget 'em.
I remember all the other top teams fall that day as a Tennessee fan. Had to be a rough day. I can 100% relate. Our 2001 sec title game against LSU cost us a chance at another title, and it still makes me sick. It's hard to even enjoy highlights from that year.
Coach Snyder accomplished more at K- State, and getting the most out of the players he had. What he did without a hundred million dollar budget is amazing beating teams like O.U. He is the GOAT. I think there is a few folks in oaklahoma might agree.
Coaches are measured by the number of national championship s but no one looks at the the turn around of losing programs. No other coach in the country could have the patience to do what coach Syder accomplished in Manhattan He was the right man for the job ! GOAT !
I've never been so moved by a video about my favorite team that has been my favorite since day one of birth. even non-fans should recognize the awseomness of this and atleast be moved a little
My family and I lived these games. Best times of my life. The Nebraska snow game, the Big XII title games, all the wins. I was there. A bit of me died in 1998 at that A&M game and another bit of me died when Snyder retired too early. Now that he's back and now that we're relevant again I want to add more chapters to this video. GO CATS.
Bill Snyder's "Powercat" and the K-State uniform. Took the idea from Hayden Fry at Iowa when the Hawkeyes switched to a Pittsburgh Steelers replica. That's a sharp look for the Cats with the Dallas Cowboys replica. One of the best uniform/helmet combinations in all of college football. There's nothing quite like it...
Lifetime Horns fan and UTEP Miner fan here.....nothing but respect for this school and Coach Snyder......I was a big El Roberson fan,,,,hopefully Dana Dimel from that pedigree can turn the Miners around....Love my Horns but y'all ruined some of my Saturdays.....Love the way Deuce plays....God bless 🙌 and be safe
I have watched this (and the other versions) dozens of times and I STILL tear up. My first year at KState was 1989 and the first game I saw us win (in person) was the Texas State last second touchdown. Still my favorite game.
From an OU fan/alum, this was a great tribute. Mad respect for the Cats, and Snyder.... Every OU fan knows, whenever the schedule comes out, K-State is gonna be a war, no matter where the game is. This vid should have shown the battles from 2000-2001... Even though K-State lost those 3, the 2 regular season meetings in Manhattan and Norman, then the rematch in the 2000 Big 12 title game, they were classic games, every one of em, and to win or lose anyone of those... almost meant nothing.
The year is 2003, I look through the NCAA 03 Rosters and see a quarterback named Ell Roberson--he's fast. Then I see his running back, also fast. I proceed to run the speed option down my brothers face for the next 6 hours with little resistance. I am the Playstation 2 King. Thus, a love story is written.
As a Wildcat alum, having attended 3 out the 5 games highlighted in this, I can say this is an incredible video!! I pray Bill returns the program to greatness... One recommendation for the editor of this. Maybe at the end, put in the quote from Bill during that first press conference about this being a huge test, one not to be taken lightly. You know the one... Yeah, that would be awesome
That game against Nebraska in the sleet. That is the first K-State game that I have a distinct memory of. I remember watching games before then, but that was the first game to ever mean anything. It's great when the first game you remember watching is one of the biggest wins in school history. Here's to the team that wins and wins and doesn't get any respect by default, we earn all of the respect we ever get, overlooked and underrated we will prevail and we will win.
I am a Nebraskan and have greatest respect for Bill Snyder and great admiration for what he has accomplished at kansas state. Now that Nebraska is moving to the big ten, I am hoping Kansas State wins the Big 12 every year and that it can sometime play Nebraska in the national championship game. machuskers
Im a life long nebraska fan, but i have to say the first time i saw this video i thought it was pretty cool and gave me some chills. especially when Newman returned that 2 point conversion. what haapened to the music at the very start of the old one though? why is it what a wonderful world now?
Yes K-State is not the best in the all of College Football. We dont have National Championships in our trophy case. But we will be remembered as the team that couldnt beat a high school football team into a team that every one was afraid of with a Hall of Fame coach. We have over come so much and to be where we are is amazing. Other teams start out good and stay good. K-State works to be good and now all that hard work has paid off. So all you haters think about history before you come on here.
ITS THE SAME PLAY, ELL ROBERSON TO TERRY TOUCHDOWN, THEY RAN THE SAME PLAY THEY DID IN NEBRASKA OH MY GOODNESS!~ GOOSEBUMPS BEYOND BELIEF CUZ I WAS AT BOTH GAMES AND WAS SHOCKED MYSELF AS A KSU FAN!~ OH MY GOODNESS TIS AWESOME!~
If Ell doesn't get hurt in 2003 we play for the Natty. If Bishop secures the ball a little better we play for the Natty. Surely, our time has come. Here is hoping that Bill has a no. 2 QB in place, opens up the playbook so we can get out front early and play a few key backups. If there is a team that has the mental edge I would say this team as much as any in the past knows what it takes to win. Last year made this year in terms of mental toughness, commitment, buy-in and so forth.
@jdhaist13 I was there, remember seeing that UCLA had lost on the score board, which meant had k-state won we would have been in the championship game, a great chance we missed out on...
@jdhaist13 Thirteen years later and the mere mention of that aTm game is still painful for me, much less the awful Alamo Bowl that followed. But the 2003 Big 12 Championship made/makes up for it. Can't wait for this season and the Brown bros.
I attend K-State, and I have to say, our football team is the trolls of NCAA. We're not supposed to win. We're not supposed to be where we are. But we are, seemingly by no reason other than it bugs the crap out everyone for us to get this far
@jdhaist13 I am still bothered by this 12 years later! I was watching it my freshman year of college and FREAKING OUT (I did not go to KSU). I still wonder how the program would have changed if we would have won the Big XII Championship game, gone on to the National Championship game and won it. Then in 2003, Roberson got hurt and we lost those 3 in the middle and won when he came back. Two great chances at greatness and we came up short.
Let's keep things in perspective. Look at the physical plant, commitment and the resources available in the State of Kansas to remember what a herculean job it was for Snyder, et al, to accomplished what they have. Compare Missouri as an example, the State has a population of about 6 million(almost triple that of Ks.) and the Tigers are the only major Div. 1 program in the State. What have they done with that tremendous advantage? Not much. We beat them 66-0 in '99, for illus. purposes.
as a KU fan, this gives me hope,,,KSU has been as bad historically as KU is right now..but all it took was one coach to step in and change the entire fortunes of a FB program..KU needs to find its Bill Snyder
Yeah, our highlights from 5 (FIVE) National Championship seasons don't even compare! BTW, good job last year. I enjoy watching you guys beat up on most of the Big 12. Keep it up.
you couldnt make it in the Big 12 so you ran away with your tails between your legs. Indiana, Purdue, Illinois, Rutgers, Minnesota, God your conf sucks
@@powercathill tbh, you're right. I miss the big 12. We play teams like Rutgers and Maryland when we should face Kansas and ksu. West Virginia would be weird, though.
Coach Snyder will be missed, not only at Kansas State University but in all of college football. He did the impossible and should be commended for what he did for the university! Enjoy your retirement Coach!
RIP Fatty. You were inspiration to many of us.
Rest In Peace brother. I’ll remember you forever for this video
this video is sole proof why snyder is the best coach
jesse beeghly agreed
Great video. I'm a Nebraska fan, but this is awesome. You should be proud of your program. You have the greatest coach in the history of the game
Bill Snyder is the greatest coach in college football history hands down not even a question
Whenever I'm feeling blue I watch this video and get pumped up all over again. I was at almost all of the games in here (give or take) in the Snyder era. I'll never forget 'em.
I love how its blank on the 98 big 12 title game...I pretend that day doesn't exist also haha. EMAW
I’m saying this as a die hard Aggie... Even I kinda wish K State had won and gone onto the natty.
I remember all the other top teams fall that day as a Tennessee fan. Had to be a rough day.
I can 100% relate. Our 2001 sec title game against LSU cost us a chance at another title, and it still makes me sick. It's hard to even enjoy highlights from that year.

He was the right man for the job ! GOAT !
Coming back to this after the OU upset in 2019. Chills.
I've never been so moved by a video about my favorite team that has been my favorite since day one of birth. even non-fans should recognize the awseomness of this and atleast be moved a little
Go Cats.
My family and I lived these games. Best times of my life. The Nebraska snow game, the Big XII title games, all the wins. I was there. A bit of me died in 1998 at that A&M game and another bit of me died when Snyder retired too early. Now that he's back and now that we're relevant again I want to add more chapters to this video. GO CATS.
EMAW. Go Cats!
That a&m game broke my heart
Bill Snyder's "Powercat" and the K-State uniform. Took the idea from Hayden Fry at Iowa when the Hawkeyes switched to a Pittsburgh Steelers replica.
That's a sharp look for the Cats with the Dallas Cowboys replica. One of the best uniform/helmet combinations in all of college football. There's nothing quite like it...
The 43-0 score in the KU game cracked me up. 😂😂😂
I still won't invite you to my house for Christmas dinner, but this is still the best KSU video I have ever seen.
Lifetime Horns fan and UTEP Miner fan here.....nothing but respect for this school and Coach Snyder......I was a big El Roberson fan,,,,hopefully Dana Dimel from that pedigree can turn the Miners around....Love my Horns but y'all ruined some of my Saturdays.....Love the way Deuce plays....God bless 🙌 and be safe

I've watched this video about 100 times, and it still hasn't gotten old. EMAW
From an OU fan/alum, this was a great tribute. Mad respect for the Cats, and Snyder.... Every OU fan knows, whenever the schedule comes out, K-State is gonna be a war, no matter where the game is.

No coach in the history of college football has done a better coaching job ever. Bill Synder is truly the Coach of the Century.
Thank you so much for this video! I almost cried watching it! XD
This one always gets me so fired up. Tomorrow will be a great day. #fatty4ksu I'll be yelling for you this year.
Here from the announcement of Snyder's retirement
The year is 2003, I look through the NCAA 03 Rosters and see a quarterback named Ell Roberson--he's fast. Then I see his running back, also fast. I proceed to run the speed option down my brothers face for the next 6 hours with little resistance. I am the Playstation 2 King. Thus, a love story is written.
We need a redo of this in 2020, longer and higher quality video now allowed on youtube
As a Wildcat alum, having attended 3 out the 5 games highlighted in this, I can say this is an incredible video!! I pray Bill returns the program to greatness...
One recommendation for the editor of this. Maybe at the end, put in the quote from Bill during that first press conference about this being a huge test, one not to be taken lightly. You know the one... Yeah, that would be awesome
wow. teary eyes and chills. i am so pumped for the ksu-oklahoma game saturday. GO CATS!
One of the more perfect 10 minutes you could spend on the internet. Watch this video.
Thank you, Coach Snyder!
That game against Nebraska in the sleet. That is the first K-State game that I have a distinct memory of. I remember watching games before then, but that was the first game to ever mean anything. It's great when the first game you remember watching is one of the biggest wins in school history. Here's to the team that wins and wins and doesn't get any respect by default, we earn all of the respect we ever get, overlooked and underrated we will prevail and we will win.
I think it's time for a much appreciated update video. Klein era would be a great addition to this video
Best Kstate football video ever made.
best ksu video ever! GO CATS!
It almost brings tears how much I miss this...
He was a legendary poster on goemaw.com along with the genius behind this video. He passed away last year suddenly while taking care of his brother
Nice Video. Good to remember on a day like this. Fighting ever Fighting for a WILDCAT VICTORY! GO STATE!
This deserves over a million views. RIP Fatty
Definitely the best K-State video on CZcams, RIP Fatty
Dam what a vid.
I am so proud to be a graduate of that "little engine that could" university.
Bigger and better things are ahead.
I love the fact that you left out the 98 CCG. I also love the KU Radio play by play over the 2002 material.
Goosebumps. I'm ready for September.
Legendary video.
dude ur videos are the best go KATZ final four contenders
Forever in our hearts.
How have I not seen this video yet? Amazing
thank you for that clip of the tu fans after the jordy nelson return. nothing better than sad people in orange.
excellent vid
Its really sad that Fatty is dead. Thanks for all these videos.
just two more wins and this team is in there. Im an SEC fan, but you better believe im rooting hard for a deserving program like this one.
Here's to another Aggie-Wildcat Big XII Championship game in 2010
Awesome video
I am a Nebraskan and have greatest respect for Bill Snyder and great admiration for what he has accomplished at kansas state. Now that Nebraska is moving to the big ten, I am hoping Kansas State wins the Big 12 every year and that it can sometime play Nebraska in the national championship game. machuskers
RIP Fatty. What an awesome video.
gets better everytime.
beautiful.
This is a Classic.
Im a life long nebraska fan, but i have to say the first time i saw this video i thought it was pretty cool and gave me some chills. especially when Newman returned that 2 point conversion. what haapened to the music at the very start of the old one though? why is it what a wonderful world now?
@BenBobVids Could not agree more. Awesome video.
Yes K-State is not the best in the all of College Football. We dont have National Championships in our trophy case.

So all you haters think about history before you come on here.
Mostly true except for the part of being a team everyone was afraid of. Not everyone.
I LOVE MY WILDCATS NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!!! PURPLE POWER!!!!
type in man gives birth to kitten. funniest video on youtube.
i was watching this today nebraska doesn't have highlights like this!~~
ITS THE SAME PLAY, ELL ROBERSON TO TERRY TOUCHDOWN, THEY RAN THE SAME PLAY THEY DID IN NEBRASKA OH MY GOODNESS!~ GOOSEBUMPS BEYOND BELIEF CUZ I WAS AT BOTH GAMES AND WAS SHOCKED MYSELF AS A KSU FAN!~ OH MY GOODNESS TIS AWESOME!~
dude ur videos are the best go KATZ there final four contenders baby woooohhhhooooo gayhawks are goin down
I'm a Texas Tech fan and I love it.
Am I the only one still bothered by the 1998 Big XII championship game and how it fell apart? AMAZING VID by the way.
@machuskers i wish all nebraska fans had respect like you.
The K-State fan needs to update this video for all of us
If Ell doesn't get hurt in 2003 we play for the Natty. If Bishop secures the ball a little better we play for the Natty. Surely, our time has come. Here is hoping that Bill has a no. 2 QB in place, opens up the playbook so we can get out front early and play a few key backups. If there is a team that has the mental edge I would say this team as much as any in the past knows what it takes to win. Last year made this year in terms of mental toughness, commitment, buy-in and so forth.
This video brings a new image to me. An image of an individual that was BITB at what he did.
Ty, Vegas has odds on NoDam, but I think Bama gona bring it home to you. Roll Tide and Go CATS!
@jdhaist13 Most of us will never forget 1998 and the treachery of Stoops, et al.
@a7b7c78 It would be amazing but I'm not surprised ESPN didn't bother doing that for some reason, maybe he's going to have a full length movie.
@jdhaist13 I was there, remember seeing that UCLA had lost on the score board, which meant had k-state won we would have been in the championship game, a great chance we missed out on...
Anyone else watching this before the big 12 title game tomorrow?
RIP Fatty, you will be missed.
The Oklahoma fans are STUNNED!!!
The night "Sooner Magic died......"
go cats!!!!!!!
@jdhaist13
Thirteen years later and the mere mention of that aTm game is still painful for me, much less the awful Alamo Bowl that followed. But the 2003 Big 12 Championship made/makes up for it. Can't wait for this season and the Brown bros.
GO STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I attend K-State, and I have to say, our football team is the trolls of NCAA. We're not supposed to win. We're not supposed to be where we are. But we are, seemingly by no reason other than it bugs the crap out everyone for us to get this far
You missed the 1970 6-5 season under coach Vince Gibson in your list of winning seasons.
look at us nowww damnnn baby
Kansas State had a good run back in the late 90s, 2000 or so, but eh, they'll never be that good again.
@jdhaist13 I am still bothered by this 12 years later! I was watching it my freshman year of college and FREAKING OUT (I did not go to KSU). I still wonder how the program would have changed if we would have won the Big XII Championship game, gone on to the National Championship game and won it.

7:41 Right Tackle gets OWNED.
This feels so good after blowing Baylor out 52-25!
forever in our hearts #fatty4ksu
as a KU fan, this gives me hope,,,KSU has been as bad historically as KU is right now..but all it took was one coach to step in and change the entire fortunes of a FB program..KU needs to find its Bill Snyder
GO CATS
Well KSU hasn't been an easy win at all since at least 2010. They make you earn it. I think they'll win the big 12 this year.
how it ends?? would have fit pretty well..
Yeah, our highlights from 5 (FIVE) National Championship seasons don't even compare! BTW, good job last year. I enjoy watching you guys beat up on most of the Big 12. Keep it up.
you couldnt make it in the Big 12 so you ran away with your tails between your legs. Indiana, Purdue, Illinois, Rutgers, Minnesota, God your conf sucks
@@powercathill tbh, you're right. I miss the big 12. We play teams like Rutgers and Maryland when we should face Kansas and ksu. West Virginia would be weird, though.
lol, why is Roberson featured in the "Birth of..." ??? 2:25
@jdhaist13 You're not the only one by a long, long shot!
You can say we should have lost, but we were #1 and definitely didn't choke. We will be a 1 seed this year and we will see if we choke....I doubt it.
@theflyestkidalive Just because he's a fan doesn't make him a student or alumni.
Did you see the football float away at 2:08 it's scary
C.
