Title: What was your first wildcat football game?
Post by: Branson Bound on August 02, 2012, 09:27:01 AM
When I was 4 years old my daddy took me to see the greatest team ever, the Kansas State Wildcats play the South Dakota State Jackrabbits. I don't remember much of the game, but I do remember beating those Jackrabbits up and down the field. After the game, I turned to my daddy and said, we whipped 'em good, huh Pa?" And he turned to me and said "we sure did, son. We sure did." I've been a fan of the wildcats ever since, and after every K-State victory, I say a little prayer so that my daddy can get the score in heaven.


What are some of your stories? :ksu:

as a baby back in 1988 (the year of my birth) my parents took me to a cats games in my carseat and put me under the bleachers.

i hear they did the same sort of things with coolers full of booze back in those days. this could all just be hearsay though.

The year was 1943 and I was a young doughboy, fresh out of basic and ready to take on the Nazis all by myself if need be.  I was with my best girl and we cheered for the Cats so hard our voices went hoarse.

Limestone, I would just like to be the first in this discussion to thank you for the great service you have done this proud country. I was beginning to think that I was the oldest guy here!! Who did the cats play and did they win?

'43 was a rebuilding year for the Cats as I recall.....probably because of all the chiefs young men who wanted to kick some Nazi and Jap ass instead of competing on the gridiron.  The weirdest part of that season was when we split a 2 game series with the Fighting Ichabods of Washburn.  What made it weird was both games were in Manhattan.   :surprised:

Oh, don't thank me.  We were just doing what any Kansas farm boy would have done.  We didn't think it was anything special.

As far as the game, we beat the Fighting Ichabods in a tightly contested match.  It was a good, physical contest and by the end I was so riled up I could have jumped out there and ran through that line for Coach Haylett myself!

1987.  This was the middle of the Air Parrish Era, truly great times for KSU.  My mom had some friends who had Oklahoma State season tickets and they offered to take me to a game when one of them couldn't make it.  I hated OSU and at that time in my young stupid life was not a full fledged EMAW'r.  I asked if I would be able to see a real team like OU, Nebraska or Colorado and they were like, LOL no.

Normally I don't condone disobeying your parents, but in this case I will make an exception. I was at that game, and it was a doozy! I hope your parents understood how important LHOFHC LHC Bill Snyder is to our program and all of our fans and how his first game back just couldn't be missed! EMAW and GO CATS!!!

They would not return to the top 20 until 1993.

The first one I really remember was ISU in 2000. Before then I went to a few with my parents and some family friends, but I only remember bits and pieces.

In 2000 my godfather brought me along on the Cat Tracker, which was super cool back then. Now, looking back it was the very definition of K-State0, but I don't really GAF. I sat club level on the east side, munched on peanuts and drank soda the entire time and watched my Cats dominate. I had just started playing pop-warner football at the time, and it was my first live game since I had started, so I soaked up every down. It's a pretty cool memory for me, as I imagine most people's first Cat games are.

I am told my first game was a few years before, but the first football memory I have at the stadium involved Chad May and JJ Smith running around.  First game I actually remember who we played/what happened would be either Oklahoma or KU in 1995, whichever one was first.

My first game was Oregon State 1979 we did win but I do not remember much about the game. People were drinking purple passion before and during the games.  You were allowed to bring in coolers and have a great party.

1989 watched us lose to Northern somebody.  Was vindicated a week or so later though when I got to watch the Wild Wildcats beat North Texas for the first win in LHCBS career.   :ksu:   Also first win in like 29 or 30 games   :dance:

Northern Iowa. The only time Terry Allen ever won in KSU Stadez.

the absolute earliest i can remember is the eddie robinson classic at arrowhead, august 2000.
we had season tickets as a family since like 97 though, and i vaguely remember rolling down the northwest hill and high fiving the players, once i got a glove from michael bishop, then one from brandon archer..
man i hate that i can't remember anything more. i can only really remember the ERC in KC and then beating Mizzou in 2003 at home to head to KC for the big 12 champs.

First game in BSFS, '98 6a state championship game, I was just a young lad, watched Olathe North win on a 4th and 5 32 Banana power over those hayseed garden city kids.  Was a pretty good memory.  Probably why I went to k-state for my education at all.

First 'Cats game at BSFS was 2004 vs. WKU, was pretty hydrated, dont remember much.

First game I remember watching getting beat handily by Fresno State with my dad, really ruined his visit. 

Best 'Cats game at BSFS was for sure the 2006 win over Texas.

Grew up in Fairway, Ks., now just part of the Shawnee Mission area.   Graduated from HS in '62 and went on to KSU.   Saw my first game in the fall of '62.   Pretty bad football backn then.   Coach was Doug Weaver.    I think he got burned in effigy about every week.   First real win of significance was against OU back in '69 (59 - 21).   I had just come back from the service.

Didn't have any excuse for not making games my first year.   I lived in West Stadium Hall, right under the stands.   Fifty years ago this Fall.   Most of you guys weren't even thought of yet.

Being an MHK'r AND a graduate of K-State Cats Purple University, I have been to hundreds of thousands of ksu cat football games so it is literally impossible for me to name my first. But my first memory of a game (had been going to them before I was able to form memories) was some team with yellow that probably ended up being Missouri (likely '87). I was little and didn't know about football pads. Just thought that when you got to college if you were a football player you lifted weights to the point that you got really big, boxy shoulders.

what? isn't that what happens? surely they don't wear pads. real athletes don't need pads. hence why water polo can't be a real sport.

Guys there is no way I can say when my first game was.  I was too young to remember.  I can tell you that my pops was watching a wildcat bball game on the tube while my mother was in labor with me.

Also, Mrs. WNK's pops actually left the hospital to watch a bball game at a bar while her mother was in labor. 

We both come from EMAW families.  I need to make sure that when Mrs. WNK is ready to have her first that we continue the tradition and time it accordingly.  A summer birth would be awful.

First game was 1988 Iowa in MHK. I was young and all I remember was the yell-leaders from each team kept picking the opposing mascot, spreading his legs and ramming balls into the goal posts. I thought that was really funny. Eventually enough people left that I got to steal someones chair-back, and was really happy about that. 

My dad was a Hawkeye. He brought the whole family; the Iowa grandparents and all. Even LHC Bill Snyder was there. 

I since converted the old man to a Wildcat. He as not missed a home game since 1998.

1990 23-17 victory over OSU.  Shortly there after my parents started their own business and had triplets.  My dad and I made it over for 6-8 games between 1990-2000.

Does 30 count as early 30's or late 20's?  Sometimes I'm not sure.

Little Dlew had the seat directly in front of Weird Robert at the Fiesta Bowl in '97.

I sat with Pete and we party rocked like the original jersey shore.

I wish I remembered my first game  :frown:
