Was the bell a significant fixture for Kansas State football before this?


I have never heard of K State having a football related bell before today.  Shame Yourself thread crosspost?
We also used to have a cannon over there as well.

I think I remember the cannon.  Was that still used in the mid-90s?

I remember the cannon as well.  Would have been 95 at the earliest for me to be there.

yeah, seems odd they didn't go for the tie and OT. maybe there wasn't OT in '89?

I dunno, I was only 2 when that game was played.

If you look at the right hand side (it appears) that a rough ridin' ref is helping the kids tear down the goal posts.  :lol: :lol: :lol:

Good eye.  Never noticed it before (and I've seen that video probably 2 or 3 dozen times).

If the ref wasn't helping, then he crazy enough to believe he could somehow save them from falling by pulling the one due off by his feet.

To me it looks like the ref is trying to crush that guy's nuts because the guy is actually straddling the goalpost and the ref is yanking on both of his feet.

I didn't know the ref guys went back that far, but you are probably right.  Most of his body is off-screen so you can't really see his pants or anything.

You know, not a bad crowd for a game against N. Texas and a home team that was 23-79-3 in the previous 10 years and 3 games.   In the one shot almost the entire East side from goal line to goal line was full including the old steel stands up high.

Dax, the reason the east side was so full that day is that most of those people are band members from all the high schools that went there for band day, and I should know because I was one of them!  I was a freshman in high school and played the saxophone, and we all got to go out on the field and perform during the halftime show.  But back then there were way, way more high school bands that got to participate than in recent years because there were plenty of empty seats to accommodate as many bands that wanted to come.  We sat on the east side during the game, and I remember being on the field for halftime, and it was just jam-packed with bands from all over the state.  I mean it took the PA announcer forever to read off all the names of the high schools that had come that day.  You can see at 4:21 as the camera pans the south and west sides of the stadium it is not as packed in those areas.  Also I remember our bus parked in the east lot, and back then it was not even paved.  It was just a dirt and gravel  lot that looked pretty crappy.  As we were loaded into the bus after the game getting ready to leave, I heard a bunch of yelling, and looked out the window to see the group of students carrying the goalpost piece at 5:34 run right by our bus heading southeast toward Aggieville I guess.  It was a great day but obviously I did not realize how special it was until years later.  Too bad we had to go to KU's band day the following year.   :Yuck:

I think most probably put away their instruments and took off the top part of their uniform after the halftime performance because the shot you see is at the end of the game.  I remember it was pretty hot that day so we probably got to be in t-shirts during the second half.

And TLDNR = Too Long Did Not Read?  Sorry, not friends until you read it.   :don'tcare:

Yeah I remember the cannon but this bell, if it even existed, is honestly a brand new thing to me.  Sheesh.  Any old timers have more deets on it like when it was first used at the stadium, when/why it went away, etc?

Does Dax have a good story on the bell such as the bell manufacturer overcharged our athletic department or something??

The bell represented the old regime, the old ways of doing things, losing. When that bell was broken after the win, Snyder probably saw it as a good thing. With the bell gone, there was nothing holding us back....

(or the budget didn't allow for replacing two goal posts, and a bell)

The cannon sits outside the alumni center now. I only saw it because I was taking a picture of the obelisk.

A plaque says it was used through 94 and was installed at the alumni center in 04.

Why don't we use it anymore?
