Snyder keeping focus on Wildcats football despite health issues

FRISCO, Texas — Bill Snyder’s age wasn’t the first thing that occurred to Kansas State linebacker Trent Tanking when he got word that his coach needed treatment for throat cancer.

Tanking was mostly concerned with when the 77-year-old Snyder would be back.

“I think regardless of young or how old he is now, it’s just, you worry for him,” Tanking said Tuesday during Big 12 media days. “You hope he does everything in his power to get back to you. He told us that. And he showed that he was coming back and that he was getting healthier, slowly getting his energy back.
