Ron Prince Travels To Kansas To Fill King-sized Shoes

By Jeremy Root | October 17, 2006

I may have been watching football halfway across the country with a team in purple uniforms two weekends ago, but there were times when the Bill Snyder Family Center in Manhattan, Kansas felt eerily similar to an afternoon at Scott Stadium.
