@Super70sSports Point Forward if we are getting technical and yes that used to be a thing before we decided for them to not handle the ball or make decisions

@DerekYoungKSO Except you have to call them employees, lose the academic mission and all the nonprofit perks.

[Ken Neaderhiser @MrTossBack]

@KSUDoug142 @EMAWArchive Also. There were only 16 Bowl Games back then. Can’t think in modern terms where they can’t get enough 6-6 teams to fill all slots.
Only 32 got bowl invites. Big deal.

@KSUDoug142 @EMAWArchive Steve Physioc’s final year as voice of the cats. If he and Mitch Holthus don’t beat down your door to discuss this I’d be shocked. Stan Weber was a backup QB. Heck even Wyatt Thompson could give a fan viewpoint from Solomon, KS.
Highest production quality story out there.

@KSUDoug142 @EMAWArchive I have in my library the Independence Bowl program and the K-Stater magazine covering it (newspaper print at the time) of you need either.
Combo of epic and lots of people wanting to tell an underserved tale. This is it.
It was such a big deal at the time.

@KSUDoug142 @EMAWArchive I’m dead serious. Go to K-State family FB page and post about this game and say you want to do a deep dive. Former players pound the comments about how much it meant and all still have the jerseys. They are getting up there and need their stories recorded.

@BrianBookwalter No one wanted to share. Everyone paid a little for each channel so everyone could have lots of choices “I want to pay for just my stuff”. Well it’s gonna cost you.

[Ken Neaderhiser @MrTossBack]

@JacobPuetz @WyattWheeler_ Almost the correct answer. Wyatt said go all out for. Failing to send a coach to ride the bus with him to Manhattan might not qualify as going all out. Wyatt, @LifeofFitz can explain.

[Ken Neaderhiser @MrTossBack]

@BNewitt Back to the start then. Athletes have to be students was actually one of the very first rules to be implemented 120 years ago as schools were playing best athletes they could find to win.

[Ken Neaderhiser @MrTossBack]

@The_RyanWallace You anti alt old.

[Ken Neaderhiser @MrTossBack]

@Thekstatefan I am not sure anyone RB had a better single game by position than Sproles ever, LB than what Buhl did or punter Brite. Go to 19:20 for 56 yard bomb.
Buhl and Brite overcame the dreadful 1st quarter.

[Ken Neaderhiser @MrTossBack]

@Thekstatefan If you go greatest single game by a safety, Mendez has four picks but not sure anyone had a bigger and more important game than Rashad Washington had this night.

@LifeofFitz Fitz still thinking agreements are honored and contracts aren’t signed to break later, how old college sports quaint.

[Ken Neaderhiser @MrTossBack]

@Thekstatefan All American who constantly made the opposing offense run more plays which in early days was the plan because the other team was bound to make more mistakes.

That said. We don’t survive 1st qtr of 03 CCG w/o Jared Brite. Show him some love.

[Ken Neaderhiser @MrTossBack]

@Thekstatefan We are into the weeds for tiebreakers. All American Status plus importance to the program, Mendez.

His importance in believing the drawings of the future over what the program was when he signed can’t be overstated.
Taught us all to carry ourselves with pride and play to win.

[Ken Neaderhiser @MrTossBack]

@wildcats_burner @Thekstatefan Yep. 1. Preferred type of QB is part of it and
2. to upset everyone, I’m sorry but if your teams go a combined one game under .500 and 26 years after you are done voters across the league vote you the all time all conference QB, you still are probably the best.

[Ken Neaderhiser @MrTossBack]

@JayHeidrick Also shows you have to be able to piece it together properly from the portal to get established to get players to build from within. Look at Iowa. But if you can put it together properly from the portal, you can get to the keeping a roster together part.

[Ken Neaderhiser @MrTossBack]

@Thekstatefan I will disagree here. I love Mitch but his pro career has him in Naismith Hall of Fame.
Boozer’s K-State career has him in College Basketball HOF.
Someone needs to either be national player of the year or lead K-State to a natty to get past Boozer.
