Congrats to the purples.

Thank you K-State for saving us all from a Big 12 team somehow getting into the CFP!

I thought Michael Bishop’s College Football HOF induction deserved to be in the EMAW thread. So..

Past due for a EMAW thread to be in the lounge that I can troll....

But seriously, congrats to a Cats legend.

I worked with his Aunt at a bank 20 odd years ago.

Nice woman.

I have also spoken with a few of the players on that team that choked away the A&M conference title game.

They said nobody cared at the bowl game. It was national title or bust. Guys were out all night before the game, drunk, etc.

No wonder they lost.

Hard to blame them when they were jobbed out of any game of importance. I'd imagine they'd have found more energy for something like the Orange Bowl.

Yea, they dropped to the Alamo Bowl and should have had NYD bowl IMO. But that was a bitter, crushing loss. I’ve got a VHS tape in the basement that I’ve never watched.

I'll never forget where I was when they choked it away to AM.





KSU would have destroyed Tenn or FSU that year. Will never get over it.

The longest final 7 minutes of my life, that 4th quarter. It was a glorious meltdown for sure. The only thing missing was somebody yelling “WE’RE GOING STREAKING THROUGH THE QUAD!!! CMON EVERYBODY”!!!

It was that bad. I can laugh about it now. But that day? Ooof. That one set me back a few days .

Because I KNOW you’d want to know:

14-1 Cats @ 13-3 TCU on ESPN 2 @ 1:05PM.

TCU court is going to give me a seizure.

It's not pleasant to look at for sure.

Of course the Cat's collective play has been vomit inducing as well.

The K State Laffy Taffy’s.

You gotta be old enough to remember those were worn in the heyday of Jack Hartman the Big 8. Back to back conference champs and had back to back Big 8 POY.
