Favorite Sunflower Showdown?

[SEK_EMAW]

What's your favorite Sunflower Showdown you've been to?

I gotta go with 1995.  KU was ranked #6 and we were coming off a bad loss at NU.  We rolled them 41-7.

16-12 was pretty great. Still not good, but we won a shitty game. Partying afterwards was so much fun.

The one where their QB's finger was popped like a zit

Top 5:
1. 95 - Two Top 10 teams; destroyed them.
2. 94 - Thursday Night ESPN.
3. 91 - Crazy comeback.
4. 98 - Destruction in the rain.
5. 02 - Just fun.

This one?  Yeah good times.



94 and 95 were pretty damned enjoyable.

2010 was so great. I remember going into the game being kind of confident we would win, but not sure. Everyone thought it would be a close game since it was in Lawrence and all. Then 59-7 happened.

I Loved 2011.  It was great.

2009 was kinda neat. Everyone stayed in their seats after the game was over.

My favorite is probably ’04.  Second to that was probably ’08.  Although not technically part of the showdown, I enjoyed MU pasting us 49-32 in Manhattan in ’07 and the student section began to chant “beat ku” as the MU players ran off the field.  Those, my goEMAW friends, were good times.

Went to this game with people from my dorm floor. They left at halftime all sad and whatnot. I stayed until the very end  my fist off. Enjoyed it immensely.

Was an annoying kid at the table next to us (watched from local bar).  When CK broke off that late run I just turned and screamed "IN YOUR FACE!"

Fellow K-Stater got us tickets to that one.  When ku was going for a close third down when 2nd and 3rd stringers were playing defense, Snyder trotted out the first string for a stop.  It was awesome.   Biggest margin of victory in the series history.

To pay this friend back, although a bit late, I got us tickets to go to the 2010 game.  I think that was 2nd largest margin of victory in series history.

[OK_Cat]

I have heard a myth that the ones sub themselves in to make sure to protect the shut-out. Not sure what to believe but both stories are cool.

I remember one of the players saying after the game that Snyder was mad at them for doing it but they didn't want to lose the shutout just because we had our 3rd string in.

Whatever year it was we went to Lawrence and Beasley was QB.  I personally enjoyed sitting on the home side and listening to the old KU fans grumble and come up with things to poke fun at us about.   

['taterblast]

not my favorite for obvious reasons, but i will say that '08 was as good as a loss like that can feel because it assured me that prince was gone.

[hemmy]

None. We beat the crap out of them every year, always so boring.

[yoEMAW]

2009, It's good to be back.

[star seed 7]

'98 and '02 for games i've been to.

'94 was my favorite as a kid though because i thought it was totally awesome that we tore down ku's goalposts.

[kslim]

02 and last year were a tie for me, 02 for obvious reasons and last year because i have never seen an opposing teams stadium infiltrated like that, the lawrence faithful absolutely despised that day
