— Bill Snyder, who took Kansas State from per- petual futility to national

prominence in his 17 seasons as the Wildcats' coach, issued a plea Thursday for fans to cut first-year coach Ron Prince some slack.
That hasn't stopped the Wildcats from being booed at home, with fans frustrated by an inconsistent offense that has produced just 12 touchdowns through eight games. In three of those games, Kansas State didn't have a single offensive touchdown.
"I have stated so very often that I came to Kansas State because of the people and I've stayed because of the people," he wrote. "You are truly wonderful. I am now asking that you please afford that same caring and loyal support to Ron Prince, his staff and players."
Snyder sent an open letter to the state's newspapers and broadcast outlets, praising Kansas State fans for their support of his coaching career.

since 1985, and the series has only been competitive since 2004.
The latest generation of Baylor fans, students and supporters have been raised under the veil of Texas A&M domination in the series that has come to be known as the "Battle of the Brazos."
Freshman linebacker Joe Pawlek, who is seeing this rivalry from a different viewpoint as a first-year player, said the upperclassmen have stressed the importance of winning this game.
