Chris Klieman’s recruiting style feels new for K-State football, but it’s his normal

There’s a classic episode of The Simpsons in which Bart imagines he has been transported hundreds of years into the future. People circle around him as he appears on a crowded sidewalk and he entertains them by saying one of his catch phrases and then performing a simple yo-yo trick.

As the audience applauds a man humorously sums up the scene by saying, “what’s normal to him amazes us.”

That feels a lot like the way K-State football fans have reacted to Chris Klieman’s first few weeks on the recruiting trail. His energetic, on-the-go style seems like a revelation compared to what they are accustomed, but it is normal to him and most other college football coaches.
