go to page 33 in the kstate record book on kstatesports.com it says in 1992 we played Nebraska in the Coca-Cola bowl in Tokyo Japan...i was a young pup then but pretty sure this didnt happen. can anybody put any reasoning behind this?
-
YEah, it did.
You don't remember the "Snyder said all the players will sit on a specific side of the airplane so the sun doesn't shine on the players?"
-
Also, Weird Robert was the first to greet them off the plane... Or maybe he flew with them... I dont' remember.

KSU Football History should replace Freshman Orientation.

QB was Matt Garber. MVP--no clue.
But yeah, that game was real alright. And how do I know? Because Ruth Ann Wefald strong-armed my student group into teaching the football team to sing the KSU alma mater--IN F'N JAPANESE!!! No joke.

Carl Straw? Jamie Mendez?

I think you're right about Mendez.

That is the story. But did he prefer whipped butter or margarine pats? There seems to be a conflict in a couple stories:

Official recap
The Nebraska football team locked up the Big Eight title and a return trip to the Orange Bowl with a 38-24 victory over Kansas State in the Coca-Cola Bowl in Tokyo.
The win gave NU its 24th-straight nine-win season, a continuing NCAA record. The Huskers jumped to a 21-0 lead, as the Big Eight's Offensive Newcomer-of-the-Year, Tommie Frazier, tossed an 18-yard TD strike to Corey Dixon and scored on runs of 19 and 4 yards.
NU built its lead to 31-10 in the third quarter, highlighted by Calvin Jones' 38-yard touchdown run. Jones rushed for a game-high 186 yards, and in the process, became only the second player in Big Eight history to reach the 2,000-yard mark as a sophomore.
Frazier was the Coca-Cola Bowl MVP while outside linebacker Travis Hill was the most outstanding defensive player-of-the-game with 10 tackles.

There was one year in the mid 80's it was our turn to play NU in Manhattan and we took a buyout from them and played the game in Lincoln instead. I don't think the conference allows that anymore but people that were not around back then have no idea what the program was like and what Bill Snyder took over. I think the game in Tokyo was just another way to make money we were heavey in debt at the time and we were not drawing that well for home games yet. The year after that was Snyder's break though season.

No . . . KSU took buyouts from OU, but not from Nebraska.

I thought we played NU in Lincoln two years in a row back when Parish was coach? I could be wrong though I knew we took buyouts from someone.
-
That was OU, not NU.
NU was a very profitable game for KSU, so they wouldn't sell that game off.

Wrong. The Big 8 re-aligned it's home/home schedule rotation in 1987, because a lot of teams (like K-State) had to play OU and NU at the same place every year and complained about it. Because of the realignment, we had NU and ISU away two years in a row, but we also had ku and CU at home two years in a row. It had nothing to do with us selling home games. As proof, we had NU at home in 1985 and 1988.
Now, K-State did sell home games against OU thanks to Parrish. We didn't play the Sooners in Manhattan from 1988 through 1992. Five years in a row.
