What was your first wildcat football game?

['taterblast]

i have missed a total of 10 home games since 1992.

list them.

'99 - a non-con game, don't remember who we played
'00 - a non-con game, don't remember who we played
'07 -  SJSU, CU, Baylor, Mizzou
'08 - Mont.St., LLaf, NU, ISU

I think it was 10/25/96 vs. OU.  Don't really remember it.  I wasn't into KSU sports at the time.

[Cartierfor3]

'96 vs. ISU for me.

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.

Actually mine was the ERC, forgot about that. Parents are both iowa squawks, but 8 year old 'meister was in purple. It was like a million degrees out that game.

9/5/1998. Indiana State.

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.

Remember when David Allen got hurt at the ERC and then he was never really good after that?

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.

Don't post much, but I am retired and I like to browse the boards to see what is going on.

90 or 92 vs ISU.  The one where it was sleeting
I had Taco Hut after the game.  I was hooked on the purple ksu cats after that.

My family and I stayed in the Holidome that night!

 

[MidnightOil82]

1978   Played Okie State   Don't recall the outcome.   Doubtfull if 15K folks were even there.

Back then one could bring in as much alcohol as you could carry.   You needed it to watch the cats back then.  ;-(

Hoops at Ahearn was pretty badass tho.  Placed rocked, literally.

Don't remember when my first game was, probably sometime in 94. But haven't missed a single home game since 96.

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.
