This was a huge K-State game that I had to miss.  My youngest brother’s bachelor party was that night.  Luckily we rented out a local bar and grill and the game was on all the TVs.  I don’t remember much of the party since I was glued to the television the whole time. K-State, ranked number 25, hosted USC, ranked number 11, in Manhattan.  USC was led by Carson Palmer at quarterback and was coached by Pete Carroll.  Marc Dunn…

I found very little online about this game other than a date and score.  I’ll have to go from memory and you all may have to help me fill in some of the blanks. This game was my freshman year at K-State and I had to work that day and got to the game late.  This was before cell phones and I tried to meet up with my group of friends at the game but I didn’t know where they…

This was the first victory Kansas State had at Oklahoma since 1970 and was game two of a five game winning streak against the Sooners.  I found some highlights of the game on YouTube. I was at this game in person.  A couple of buddies of mine and I took a charter bus ride to and from the game.  It was a great party on the bus the whole way down and back.  I remember being quite impressed with Oklahoma’s…

This game was pretty important in the upward trajectory of K-State football.  K-State beat Nebraska for the first time in 30 years 199, but inn 1999 Nebraska beat the Wildcats 41-15 in Lincoln and everyone was wondering if the 1998 victory was an anomaly and if Nebraska was still going to be the dominant football program in the Big 12 North. Nebraska was ranked number four in the country going into the game and K-State was ranked number 16.  The…

The 2001 Cotton Bowl was a great showing for Kansas State football.  It was a nationally televised game on January first against a Phil Fulmer coached Tennessee team that was ranked 21 in both the AP and Coaches polls.  This was the second highest ranked team that a Bill Snyder coached team ever beat in a bowl game. You can watch the entire broadcast of the game on YouTube here: I also found a six minute long highlight package of…
