Very hard for me to compare sports even among K-State.
2012 was like a dream. I was extremely in to it, but it almost never really seemed 100% real, like all the parts of it were so magical and like a fairy tale. I know I have said some extremely awful crap and thought some terrible things about Bill over the years but that season was just so pure.
1997-1998 was just unreal, a 2 year stretch of just insanity and manhattan basically went through puberty with me. Just indescribable. Also I was in St. Louis. Still just a monumental achievement.
2002 was a super fun year, actually more fun than 2003 ended up being imo as 2003 got screwed up right off the bat and then the Big XII title game was vindication, but it was very short lived as the Fiesta Bowl fiasco right after that kind of capped off the disappointing year. No doubt the Big XII title was a huge get and very, very important for our psyche and the program, especially against Stoops & OU.
Final rank:
1. 2012
2. 1998
3. 1997
4. 2002
5. 2003
Hon. mention 1999, Beasley gets such endless crap because he was compared to Bishop and was followed by Ell, but he was still good and that defense and ST was unreal. The Texas roadie was an all-time great win.
