Sneak preview: This image will probably remain for all WVU v. Kansas Stats for as long as Snyd’s name remains on the stadium. And if that photo doesn’t make you laugh, allow me to fill you in on the legend.

So between that, late nights and his perpetual cup of coffee, Snyder really is a college kid at heart.

But enough about Snyder, as I’m sure that’s been driven home this week. How about some WVU? I was in the press box early enough today that I caught Fox Sports 1 doing a dry run of its lineups, trivia questions, Big 12 standings, national schedule, so on and so forth. In WVU’s starting lineup, Dreamius Smith is listed as the starting running back, though humanitarian Hertz believes it’s Dana Holgorsen’s homage to senior day. If you’re a #Freemius advocate, I don’t believe you care. It’s like me in a golf scramble — it’s not how, but how many.

And as we get started, a note about starts that I never fit into publications this week and never really found a way to make relevant … maybe because I’m not sure what it means. WVU’s first quarter is its best quarter and it outscores opponents 90-47 there. Kansas State’s opponents have one opening drive touchdown all season. The Mountaineers are being outscored 100-99 in the second quarter and then 66-65 (?) in the third quarter. Kansas State (hereafter KSU) outscores opponents 101-58 in the second (!) and 78-34 in the third and has allowed one second half-opening drive touchdown all season. I have a feeling this one will be on its way one way or the other in the fourth quarter, which is great news for a gentleman on deadline.

And finally, a sad note. No TFGD tonight, so save your fingers. I wish it wasn’t the case, I really do, but it is. My phone had debilitating issues last Tuesday. I just got the new one this afternoon and the self-activation isn’t working, meaning I can’t get to a nTelos store to have them activate it for me because we kick in 90 minutes. Don’t hate me, hate the money I see, clothes that I buy, ice that I wear, clothes that I try. See you inside.
