KState Fan Appreciation Day

Luke went fishing for the weekend so we (Ben, Jake & myself) decided to head to Manhattan with my mom and step-dad for Fan Appreciation Day. It wasn't as crowded as I thought it would be....the boys liked getting to move from "seat to seat" without bugging anyone.

After football practice, Coach Snyder invited everyone down to get signatures. He also had a "pep-talk" for the kids and stressed how important it was to surround yourself with people who want you to succeed in life. Jake and Ben observing practice.
Grandma Sue and Jake posing after she left a lip stick "kiss" on his forehead.

Players practicing...

Coach Snyder introducing the team.

Brandon (?) Banks was the only senior that allowed the boys to go under the table and pose for a picture with him. He was super friendly!

The two above don't look big sitting down but these guys were huge!

Jacob wanted to know if the guys in the "green shirts" played for the Green Bay Packers.......

He loves Jordy Nelson

He was disappointed when he found out they are quarterbacks.

Mo one of the coaches...I need Ted's book so I all the players / coaches names.

This picture cracks me up! My boys look little compared these guys!

Again, forgot the name but this guy grew up in Little River, KS.

This is a freshman 6'8" tall.

I need him around my house to change light bulbs! just kidding

Coach Snyder with Ben, Jake and me. He had signed posters for over an hour-and-a-half and was still very gracious. What a great role model for kids.

Mom, Ted, Ben and Jake on the football field.

The boys had an awesome time running and playing with some of the "tackling pads" on the field.
