I think they beat us before the days of LHCBS it was them or Sam Houston or some other lamer team.Willie Nelson was going to play afterward and we had the lead with enough time on the clock for them to take a couple shots into the endzone. I think they had the ball just inside our territory and on the first attempt had a wide open receiver in the endzone and missed then they ran what appeared to be the same play and the receiver was once again wide open this time for the game winning touchdown.Then they pulled Willie Nelson out on a mobile stage to play and the skies opened up and it poured.I think we can handle them this time
That sounds amazing. I'm sure our fans wethered the rain for Willie. Which song did you like the most?
We left when it started pouring.I had attended almost every home game from 1970 up until then and those were some pretty horrid times to be a cat fan.When we made that first Independence bowl and then got really bad again I tried my best to keep my head up but the Willie Nelson game was just too much to take.I didn't Return to the stadium until LHCBS second or third season.
That's awful. Stories like this make me question just how dedicated our fans really are. Why, if I didn't have a lot of first hand experience with the greatest fans on earth, I reckon your story would make me think all of our fans are fair weather like you. LCS Willie Nelson could have sang for OU on that Saturday but he chose Kansas State because of the friendly faces and great atmosphere. Then you don't even stick around long enough to hear "On the road again". pathetick
What part of almost every home game for 18 or so years don`t you understand? I became a fan as soon as I started watching football at the age of 4 or so. My favorite pro team to this day is the Redskins because Larry Brown played for them back then.When I was around 8 I begged my parents to get season tickets and if my dad couldn't take me I found someone else.I think the average attendance back then was around 5,000 unless OU or NU was in town.After they fired coach Dickey it really went downhill and if I remember correctly one year they fired a coach and the freakin AD took over. Hell the idea of dropping football even came up.I don't recall there being a lot of fans there for that game,
Were you there? And a lot of them just came to see Willie and most left when it rained so your bet that the fans stuck it out to see Willie was a losing one.Call me fair weather all you want on here but don,t ever do it to my face.My guess is you never even saw a pre LHCBS game but I could be wrong.I still attend some home games and listen to or watch every game religiously and I was a Wildcat before every man WAS a wildcat so eff you.And Skinny I believe your right,Austin Pea State jeez,It just effing crushed me.Sorry I turned my back for a couple years.I'm done now. 
Larry Brown is a known squawk and that is all I need to know about you. Kindly stop dragging the fans of my great institution through the mud.
Hur Hur Hur...The Larry Brown I follow played RB for the Cat`s and went on to become the first Redskin to rush for 1,000 yards but you wouldn't know this.I Don`t know who this Larry"squawk"Brown you speak of is but I would venture to guess you are a fan of some team he used to coach or something.
Oh, no you di not just call me a cheese sniffin ku fan. Son, I've been a fan of the cats since before I was born. I watched the cats smoke South Dakota State in 1960 for my first game. I don't go to every game because I don't live close enough and I fell on hard times during the 80's so I wasn't at the Willie Neslon game. It just drives me crazy to think that a little rain and a result that didn't go your way could make somebody stop watching the greatest team on earth. I understand being upset about the loss, but if Willie can't cheer you up, nothing can. I just pray that you don't turn to drugs to find happiness.
Dear Sir may I offer my apologies. I did not know I was speaking to an elder not to mention someone who has been attending Cat games longer than I.As for the squawk comment in my defense you did fire the first squawk salvo with the Larry Brown dig.as for the Willie game I was there for the Cats not Willie.Yes I did quit attending games for 2 years but still listened to all the games.I was born and raised in Manhattan and will probably die here.I`m proud to call it my home and even though I have never attended KSU I`m proud of it and all the great people and achievements it has given to the world.Whenever I travel and talk to people about where I`m from It`s Manhattan Kansas home of Kansas State University and The Fighting Wildcats and if you go to Lake Merconia in Ontario Canada you'll find EMAW written on the outhouse wall.When they flew in to get us at the lake they brought part of the next group,they were from Wisconsin and when I asked them what they thought of Jordy and they started drooling!!! Go Cats
