Bill Snyder is releasing his autobiography this fall, co-authored by D. Scott Fritchen, titled “My Football Life and the Rest of the Story.”  If I ever get the opportunity to talk to Bill Snyder again, there are a bunch of questions I’d like to ask him.  I’m hoping some of these questions will be answered in his book.
