The South Dakota game had a LOT going on in terms of the program overall.
1) 40 yr anniversary of the 1982 Independence Bowl team. Couple dozen from that squad were in attendance for a reunion Thursday - Sat.
2) 10 yr anniversary of the 2012 BigXII Championship team (obviously)
3) Ring of Honor Inductees
4) The annual Golden Cat tailgate - was an interesting mix of former players from many generations/eras this year, given #1 and #2 above. Ell Roberson seemed to play host in the middle of the beer tent and took a ton of pictures with a lot of people's kids. He was great to talk to and a good sport about it.
4a) KState Athletics does a great job on these events. The beer tent was either Bud Light or Kona Brewing.
Klieman and Van Malone came by the Golden Cat event and spoke for a couple minutes - very cool. It was clear they really care about having former players come by practice and the complex. I don't recall ever seeing Snyder stop by an event w/in a couple hours of game time.
Just a great day in terms of weather, touchdowns and more touchdowns.
