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…

This game still ranks as one of the best games I’ve seen in person at Bill Snyder Family stadium.  Baylor was ranked number 14 in the nation and was led by Robert Griffin III at quarterback.  In a game that could have gone either way, I believe this victory helped propel the 2011 Wildcats to a 7-2 conference record and a second place finish with a trip to the Cotton Bowl.  It was the first conference game that season and…

The 1994 K-State/KU football game is memorable for a couple of reasons.  It was a Thursday night ESPN game so it was on national television.  Not all the games were on national television back then, so it was kind of a big deal.  Bill Snyder was still getting things going at K-State and the last few KU games, with the exception of 1992, prior to this one were close games. This game, which was played at KU in Lawrence, ended…

This game is on the list because I remember it as one of the craziest finishes to a Kansas State football game maybe that I’ve ever seen.  And the unlikely comeback by Kansas State forced the Iowa State administration to fire head coach Paul Rhoads after the game! Here are some highlights I found, but the video doesn’t tell the whole story: K-State trailed 35-14 at halftime and 35-21 going into the 4th quarter.  K-State got within a touchdown early…

Since we’re 16 days away from the 2019 college football season starting and I’m looking to pass the time I thought I’d countdown the top 15 K-State football moments that I have experienced in person or watching on television.  Some might agree with this list and some might disagree with it but I’ve ranked them based on my experience and I’ll post one a day from today up until the first game against Nicholls State. Number 15 – K-State 53…
