Most of you youngsters cannot appreciate the magnitude of the 8 quarters remaining between our beloved Wildcats and the opportunity to carve EMAW on the crystal football. My most vivid football memory from my time on campus was sitting in the stands after watching the '87 Cats lose to Austin Peay and watching Willie Nelson bravely try to put on an abbreviated concert while two poor bastages held a tarp over his head to keep the rain from electrocuting him. Later that same season, we tore down the goalposts after we managed to end in a tie with the Squaks. Pathetic - absolutely pathetic. Needless to say, we've come a long ways, yet we have not arrived at the ultimate goal.
This season is a gift. Cherish it. Live it up, but never forget that we have 8 more quarters of WAR before we come within sight of the prize. Stay focused.

I prefer to close my eyes and imagine LHCBS standing there giving this same speech in his Cotton Bowl windbreaker. Let's get those bastards - so help us God.

Did that really happen? I know your a few years older than me, and I faintly remember the Austin Peay loss, but if we tore down the goalposts after a tie....damn. :horrorsurprise:
-
I have always heard that someone stayed to watch Willie play and now I have proof.

If there was only one person there, it would have been jde512.

What's worse is the Austin P player's started break dancing on the Ksu emblem at mid field afterwards..some of their players and assistant coaches were flipping off the student section..this is why we have to do this...restitution!

Winning the NC will definitely shut those Austin P fuckers up once and for all

Wrong thread, but....
Oh, make no mistake. It's not revenge he's after. It's a reckoning.

A young GOSP was also a member of the Watched Willy Club.
My personal memory of the KU game ending is petulantly throwing one of those movable folding chair backs after KU blocked our field goal.
Anyway, I'm enjoying this year.

Did it really happen?? I can verify for certain that the north goalposts came down and ended up being carried out of the stadium. They had all of Aggieville cordoned off with orange snow fence and everyone going in was searched for bottles. It was a big time that night until the tear gas came out...
There was a pretty decent crowd (several hundred) that stayed to listen to Willie. Everybody had a boot bottle to help keep the cold rain from dampening our spirits. Good times...good times...

I love the visual of LHCBS as Patton!
Yes the Willie Nelson concert was pathetic, it only showed how out of touch the Admin was then that they thought this would be a big hit with the students.
My biggest memory from the Austin Peay game was the druken student section chant of "Let's Go Pee!" as K-State grabbed another loss out of the jaws of victory.
The only thing that stands out for me on the KU tie was that the kick at the end of the game, that would have given K-State the win, was blocked by a KU Basketball Player. Can I repeat that, the KU football team had a KU Basketball player that kept K-State from winning a football game. Sigh....
Enjoy every moment of this year in K-State football, I know that I am!

if we tore down the goalposts after a tie....damn.
...and it wasn't so much that we were celebrating the tie as it was celebrating our failure to lose. That was huge back in the day. :ksu:
