The 1998 K-State Nebraska game was by far the most exciting and most memorable game i have ever seen. Beating Nebraska for the first time in 29 years and storming the field were amazing; it felt like we finally showed all neh-sayers that K-State was a legitamite power in college football. But the most memorable part was after the game. Old men who had had season tickets for many years were in the stands with socket wrenches taking of the planks of wood that they had sat on for every game. The security guards were even helping them because that spring the stadium was being renovated. I've never seen anything like it.

Really, Joel? The most memorable part?

Gig 'em!!! :flamethrower:
It was not just another Saturday in autumn. The date was November 26th, 1999 at Kyle Field where in-state rival Texas Longhorns came to town. Yet, it was different this time because of the Bonfire tragedy eight days before. The stadium was no longer filled with hatred and bitterness found in the previous games, but it had an atomsphere of mutual respect and sorrow throughout Kyle Field. I remember vividly that the Aggies were trailing the Longhorns by the score of 13-16 for much of the fourth quarter. Then suddently late in the fourth quarter, A&M quarterback Randy McCown threw a high ball to the right corner of the end zone and the A&M receiver Bumgardner went up and got it, pulling down a touchdown pass with 5:02 remaining. The catch simply put A&M ahead for good with the final score of 20-16. Prior to that game, I have attended two funeral services for my fallen friends due to the Bonfire tragedy. Yet on that day it washed away all our sorrow and grief made us feel like a champion. I cried and looked in the sky knowing that the twelve angels were with us. That day was different, I just don't think I will ever experience another game of triumph after tragedy.

wow. rectification through a pointless football game. why would you ever compare a football game to some sort of quasi-justification for your friends deaths. that is so retarded on so many levels.
