Guys there is no way I can say when my first game was. I was too young to remember. I can tell you that my pops was watching a wildcat bball game on the tube while my mother was in labor with me.

Also, Mrs. WNK's pops actually left the hospital to watch a bball game at a bar while her mother was in labor.

We both come from EMAW families. I need to make sure that when Mrs. WNK is ready to have her first that we continue the tradition and time it accordingly. A summer birth would be awful.

First game was 1988 Iowa in MHK. I was young and all I remember was the yell-leaders from each team kept picking the opposing mascot, spreading his legs and ramming balls into the goal posts. I thought that was really funny. Eventually enough people left that I got to steal someones chair-back, and was really happy about that.

My dad was a Hawkeye. He brought the whole family; the Iowa grandparents and all. Even LHC Bill Snyder was there.

I since converted the old man to a Wildcat. He as not missed a home game since 1998.

ku at K-State, 1982. First game under lights in Manhattan. 'Cats delivered a beatdown. I got drunk and pissed on a ku fans car in the parking lot, which they witnessed and complained about. Still really sorry about that.

Same game as Steve Dave's 1st in '97, the first game of the year vs. Ohio. Was Bishop's first ever game as a Cat.

2nd I think. Also, Bish played horribly and they had to burn Beasley's redshirt to bail us out.

You're right. His first was at Northern Illinois. First home game fwiw.

9/27/1997 58-0 crushing of Bowling Green. Got a #7 Bishop jersey after have been hooked on the atmosphere of BSFS since. First heartache was the 94 Aloha Bowl.

K-State beat CU, it was cold and wet and K-State sucked. There was about 20,000 there.

'78? A rare win for Futility U. My first was the Probation Bowl vs. O-State that same year.

I was gestating during the '82 Independence Bowl.

guys, this is totally weird, but my family always did too! all i remember is that i loved that indoor pool and that they served a great buffet breakfast.

Yeah I always used to associate the holidome with ping pong, mini golf, and that chlorine smell from the pool.

Now I associate it with an eerily empty Patty O'Quigley's and that chlorine smell from the pool.

they still serve the breakfast. so good.

holidome memory:

when we played KU in 07, (he beat talib!) i was a nervous wreck and didn't sleep the night before. I went down to eat breakfast at like 6 am and on the way down the stairs I ran into RP. I asked him if we were going to win, he said "you bet." I felt cheated.

I have a similar story about Frank Martin, at the current HI, and referring to us beating KU BBall in Lawrence (I think it was E8 year). I was also cheated.

I got tape from the front desk of the Holidome and added the "D" in the middle of the FIRE PRINCE shirt just as RP was leading a wildcat walk through the lobby. Story detailed in the box-framed shirt auctioned at fattyfest.

I had season tickets for the 2000 season, but the only game I attended was against Nubb. Pretty awesome game if any of you recall.

I stayed in the Holidome with some family and friends on New Year's Eve the year we crap-stomped Tennessee in the Cotton Bowl. AND I'M FROM MHK!

Skipper44 · « **Reply #121 on:** August 07, 2012, 12:18:24 PM »

My first in person was the KU game in Lawrence in 1992 for a 31-7 beatdown with Gilbert Brown and Dana Stubblefield just destroying Smargisso all day as my EMAW was baptized by fire. First game in the Memorial Stadium that does not smell like stale piss was the 35-0 shut out of Minnesota.
