The number three K-State great game is the 1997 Fiesta Bowl.  K-State was led by Michael Bishop at quarterback and Syracuse was led by Donovan McNabb.  This was a “Bowl Alliance” game, which was the precursor to the BCS and eventually the college football playoff.  K-State entered the game ranked number 10 in the AP poll and Syracuse entered the game ranked number 14 in the same poll. I found a highlight video of the game on YouTube: Michael Bishop…

One of my top five K-State games is a victory that clinched a share of Bill Snyder’s second Big 12 championship.  I consider it an outright championship, however,  because while K-State tied with Oklahoma, the Wildcats beat Oklahoma in Norman earlier in the season 24-19. The Big 12 did not have a championship game in 2012, so the Texas game was the de facto championship game for K-State.  Win the game and they clinched a share of the title.  There…

This will always be one of my favorite K-State games.  Nebraska was ranked number 18 in the country at the time and the game was in Lincoln.  K-State had not won in Lincoln in 45 years.  45 years!  Ell Roberson racked up 403 yards of total offense.  This one was on national television on ABC and the winner was going to wrap up the Big 12 north and head to the Big 12 championship game.  It’s also remembered for Bo…

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…
