True too. In this case though, I can't remember KSU winning any of them though. There's been smaller 'must wins' , but these next few games are the epitome of must win games. So rough ridin' tired of MY teams getting close. I need a championship for one of MY teams. I deserve this.

False.  A freak injury to Zimmerman the week prior, coupled with TLBL spraining an ankle in the same prior game, was our downfall.  Missing the "defensive QB" who happened to be an All-Big12 safety and your best receiver had FAR more to do with the outcome of that game than Phil Bennett's defense did.

Fair point.  I always saw TLBL and Harper as sort of a 1a/1b situation, but you'll get no argument here if you saw Harp as clear cut #1.

Ugh, hate these threads. Look, we choked plain and simple in 98. crap happens. We got bit by the injury bug in 2012 and lost a game to a good team on the road. That wasn't a choke.

All told, the Cats have significantly overperformed under Snyder's tenure. If you're whining that we don't consistently pull upsets in important games - nobody does. We have a very good, not great, team this year. For this team to run the table in the B12 with 5 road games, 4 of them ranked, 3 of them highly ranked, would be improbable to say the least. This is not the year to whine about "deserving" a championship. Enjoy the ride.

That Baylor game wasn't viewed as a big game, they had a crap season and no one though they would beat us. We played 5 games that year that we're viewed as "big games" before they were played and the only loss was Oregon.

Whenever I think about that elephant in the corner I think of a score of 35-7 against the greatest college football team ever assembled!  Since we know KSU can win a football game when they are the overwhelming Underdog, this weeks +5 line does not seem so over whelming.

Or at Nebraska two weeks prior to that, or against MU to put us in the BigXII title game.

We've won our fair share of must win games.

You have to win a crap load of must win games to even have the type of must win games being discussed. I guess in short every college football game is must win, and it doesn't suck to win enough to have games that are important like this week's.

This thread should just be "I really want K-State to win a national title", because that's what you mean. Snyder has won a ton (A TON) of big games for the KSU Cats over his career. He just hasn't ever won enough in one season to get to the NC game. Now we'll see if we can win enough this year to get into the 4 team Tornament.

Except the ones where the guy is super close to the endzone and gets tackled as he scores a touchdown, but other than that you are correct.

Also if a PAT gets blocked and the blocking team picks it up and tries to run it back but is then tackled it's not touchdown saving because only 2 points.  :blah:

Winning a NC would be kind of like winning an Oscar. What has Whoopi Goldberg or Cuba Gooding Jr. done since they won an Oscar but still they are listed in the promos today as "Oscar winner Whoopi Goldberg or Oscar winner Cuba Gooding, Jr." no matter what dumpster fire movie they are appearing in.  So twenty-five years from now it would be "former National Champion Kansas State University" no matter what the record has been in those 25 years

Just curious why you scratched off the Nubs and Baylor?
1997- we played Nubs 4th game of year. Only game we lost all year. Coming off multiple years of coming close to beating them.
1999- We were 9-0 and #5 in the nation. Only thing standing between us and a Natty. They throttled us.
2000- Played OU and were #2 in nation. Holy crap #2. Lost to them again later in year.
2002- blew a few
2012- Baylor. We were #1 for gosh darned sakes. Ran into a buzzsaw, but still.
2014- TCU- ill prepared. Linebackers sitting out. Walk on safety bless his heart. We blew it.

Because Nebraska was clearly better than K-State in 1997 and especially 1999. Baylor wasn't a big game, and wasn't looked at like a big game until KSU lost.
