SE: Barta Brings Kansas Football Roots into Sunflower Showdown

Mason Barta remembers climbing the steps of the old Vanier Football Complex when he was a kid. 
 
His Dad seemed to know everyone in the building and Brooks Barta needed to say hello. After renewing old acquaintances, Mason walked into Coach Bill Snyder's office for the first time.
 
"He hung up the phone when my Dad came in and we just sat down and talked about life," Barta said. "I thought that was amazing. This program doesn't forget about the guys that come through here."
