OT/ Coach Snyder passed away

Today is a sad day for a legend that coached at ASU, the second best coach ever Bruce Snyder. He was a great man, a great coach and brought a physicality that this state has not seen for a decade or so. He was diagnosed 10 months ago in stage 5 melanoma. The cancer was a death sentence, but the man fought to his last day. I will never forget the 96 season when we played Nebraska and beat them 19-0. I was in the north end zone in row 19 and lost my voice by half time, a memory I will never forget and share with posterity. Jake the Snake and Pat freakn Tillman were monsters and amazing. I will remember the great interviews he would do every year during Pat's Run. He will be missed and the Sun Devil family has lost a great coach and person.

Rest in Peace Coach.
