Reminding anyone else of the '95 game?

[tmramrod91]

All this smack being talked by ku fans is getting the same kind of feeling as the '95 KSU ku game.
Except...ku was #6 in the country and KSU was #14, but ku fans were all sorts of jacked up and I do believe that was the last TD scored by ku in manhattan (Isaac Bird maybe?)

As I'm sure we all remember....
KSU 41
ku 7

(still have the t-shirt with the score on it)

Went to that game with a couple of ku buddies, one walked out halfway through the 2nd quarter and went and called his ku daddy collect and he never returned to his seat for the rest of the game.

I was ten.  I was there, but don't even remember it.   

[Bill Walker]

if we lose this game, i will put my baby jay into a meat grinder and let freeman turn the little rotating turny thing that makes ground meat come out.

You have a baby jay?

kind of like BMW and his virginity that he reported stolen.

C'mon now, let's be fair.......ku scored a TD in Manhattan in '97.

[feralchat]

I lived in Manhappiness at the time. I didn't have tickets so I watched the game at Rock a Bell. In the second half, the kid next to me -- a K-State fan -- said he was disapppointed. He was hoping for a better game.
Completely alien concept to me. The game couldn't have gone better.

[dmartin]

I brought that up in the other thread.  That was my first year at KSU.  I remember watching ku beat Colorado before that and thinking there might be something to the game.  Then we walked all over them.  And yeah, the one ku TD was a long bomb but I don't remember when it happened in the game. I can't remember if we rushed the field after that one or not.

[Iceberg]

I was there and was 10 (first KSU football game). Kind of remember the game, but not most of the hype before it. My parents also brought my ku cousin, so it made it a pretty fun game to poke fun of him.

[Snyderfanatic]

Neither team is close to what they were in 1995....
We were 10-2 and smacked around everyone but CU and NU in league play....
ku was good, blasting UCLA in the Aloha, the hens also won in Boulder....,
ku came into the game fresh off a pasting of the Schnellenbergers in Norman,
We were coming off a 49-25 loss against the best team in NU history....
A nice and sunny Saturday as the Cats beat the Hawks 41-7....
ku lone score a Mark Williams to Isaac Byrd bomb....
Charles Henley was bottled up all day.....
My second favorite KSU-ku game, the best was 64-0.....

Damn that conference was good

[sonofdaxjones]

Big 8 went out with a huge bang, SWC went out with a whimper.

[jeffy]

Charles Henley was bottled up all day.....

June Henley

and his trusty sidekick LT Levine.

If it weren't for Eric Vann's few yards in scrub time, ku would have ended the game in the negative.

I've now got this game on DVD.

[tmramrod91]

I was also 10 at the time, dont remember a ton of the game, I just remember the crowd being incredibly loud and jacked up. Section 13 stood up the entire first half...which is kinda a big deal considering they typically sit down for opening kickoffs......

Henley and Levine got owned, and the mob was unreal that day. The td came pretty early in the game, making it seem like it might be a decent game, and the rest is history

Two differences in comparing then and now:

1) ku was ranked
2) KSU was good

The smack talk has always been a part of this rivalry, even when KSU had a historically bad football team (pre-Mangino, Stoops, and Snyder).

[Wildcat Jack]

The only smack I remember was ku'ers runnin' their collective mouths about Snyder had never beaten a Top 10 team.....it was kind of ironic.

[feralchat]

  . . . pre-Mangino, Stoops and Synder."
Who doesn't belong in that sentence?

[JohnBrown]

If you really think about it, this years game is more like last year.

KSU coming off a UT win, neither team is rated, and KSU fans running their mouths about how great they are.

And then, ku bitch slapped Freeman and punched Prince in his fat-ass gut.

[sonofdaxjones]

Now it's ku talking about how great they are, and how they win in Manhattan by 17-21 "easy".

[mjrod]

It's a morning game.  Over the last 15 years, morning games have been unkind to ku.
