Most coaches would be grumpy and downright indignant after suffering a demoralized (and possible season-crippling) loss to North Dakota State.
But not Kansas State’s Bill Snyder.
Instead of stewing about the defeat, Snyder sent North Dakota State quarterback Brock Jensen a note telling the senior how impressed he was with his game.

Here’s the text in case you’re having trouble reading it:
Congratulations Brock. I was truly impressed with you & your teammates. You played so very well, virtually error free & with such poise. I wish you a great you & hope you achieve all you desire. Please share my thoughts w/ your teammates.
Warm regards,
Bill Snyder
Snyder has been around a long time (since the leather helmet days, I think), so he can appreciate when a team gets lucky and when a team actually plays better than his on that night.
Jensen said after the game he was proud to be part of the biggest win in North Dakota State history, and this classy move by Snyder probably makes it even more memorable.
