Favorite Sunflower Showdown?

[Reboulet]

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.

I like to think that the FIRE PRINCE paper bag I wore in the second half forced the administration's hand. (see profile avatar)

that or the whole unfolding of the corrupt admin with prince tripped up in it.

I remember specifically staying the entire game because I wanted to really feel the pain.  And I really did.

I went to Hale the following monday and wrote Wefald an email.  Felt very powertardy, but oh so pure.

Oh man, I wrote an email to Wefald, too. I had a different reaction at the game though, since I left midway through the 3rd quarter & did a keg stand immediately after getting back to my KU bro's apartment.

It's too bad no one helped BigDCat when he got mugged by a pack of squawks after the game..

'09 was great...I enjoyed the Bill that day a great deal!

I wore my recently purchased "Ron Prince Era" shirt with the spilt koolaid guy on the back. Not sure which one of you created it but I feel like it really got the point across.

That game hurt, real bad...but it was worth it...I wouldnt be enjoying the past 2 seasons so much if it had not happened.

The worst Sunflower... and its not even close.

Anthony Webb and Aqib Talib walked to the locker room together after Kansas University's 39-20 victory Saturday, slithering through thousands of Jayhawk football fans who stormed the field to celebrate a rout of Kansas State.

  what do they call it every other year when we win?

That was a really bad one, but there were very few expectations in 1992.

First year of Prince and most were Prince believers going into the game. Cats were coming off the big win over Texas and on a 3 game winning streak. KU was a mediocre 5-5 going into the game.

This was a sign of what the Prince era would be about, and it was a bad one.

It was pretty brutal, and frankly, we were lucky to be within 19.

If Mastrud could of managed to score on that long pass (the first snap of the game IIRC) who knows what might of happened in that game and the future of both programs

We were 3-0, and had beaten them the previous year and had narrowly missed the second bowl game in school history the previous year.

And then we went to Lawrence and got absolutely crushed.  It was horrifying. 

In 06 there were already plenty of bad performances behind us.  Yeah, the Texas win was great, but the KU game didn't shed any new light on the fact that we were an up and down team that year.

That was one of the most beautiful days ever.  Weather was beautiful, and it was enjoyable to watch Sparkles being tossed on our then-crappy artificial playing surface.

Although, I was very young and did not see the game, I understood the significance of '87.
Both teams were fighting to not be the worst team in football, and they tied.

Yes, the infamous Toilet Bowl.  Definitely not a favorite. Was all  ,  , and  afterwards.

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

Ditto. 2009 was Mangino's last year, and KU was much superior in terms of talent, and Snyder just clowned Mangino with his SCHEME.

Thomas had about 40 carries that day
KU had all kinds of athletes and could not get out of their own way
Bill was prepping for that game since December 2008 

[Clevey 2 Times]

I appreciate the enthusiasm of the youngsters about recent victories, but nothing compared to 1995's 41-7 annihilation of the Mark Williams led Jayhawks. That was simply beautiful and was a time when giant slices of Pizza Hut were available for like 2 bucks at (later to be known as) the Bill.

I was at the '06 and '08 Sunflowers. Just awful. I vividly remember some hayseed with a lawn chair and his TV outside yelling, "Get the hell out of town, Aggies!!" after the '06 game as I was walking back to the car. Man KU owned us hard for those 3 years 

The '08 game I was behind the KU bench. I lost my voice yelling at sparkles and Mangino, as we got routed in the first half.

It was the first snap, and Mastrud was WIDE open.  But he was so slow, the ku secondary guys were on him like stink on shiite and dropped him.  Anyone that had any speed would have scored--he was behind the entire defense.

Correct answer is 2012, guys!
