The amount of highlights they showed from 20-30 years ago was really puzzling to me also. They’ve had some good if not great teams in the last 10 years but they’re living in the 90s like Nebraska fans? Just really weird.
Awww man we would have loved the deep highlight videos if we were to do that. I almost could tell the year by what we wore on those reels.
The vocal online contingent of Kansas State fans is maybe the most obnoxious and delusional fanbase I've encountered. Their perception of their program's historical standing on the national level is wild.
Bill Snyder was a Hayden fry Jr. He thought ISU was beneath him/team. So Kstate is pretty similar to the Hawkeyes.
Funny they don't go back further than that! True Story: My first ISU-K-State game was in 1989 - when the Wildcats were still considered an easy win most years for the Cyclones. My favorite play was after one Cyclone TD, K-State jumped off-side on the PAT, so Walden took the penalty, went for two and made it. Led to a funky 36-11 Final Score, which I loved. Walden's best team (6-5, 4-3) - while the Purple Kitties finished (1-10, 0-7) in the Big 8 days. Good times!
I think it’s rather that when you see your geographic contemporaries, you need to own and beat them consistently *as if* they are beneath you. It helps flip recruiting and fan sentiment.
There's no excuse for Haydenism. To practice it, one must be a classless *******. It goes beyond Machiavellian considerations.
I’m speaking of Snyder. I don’t think he openly or privately disrespected/held disdain for ISU.
It’s really their young fans too. Older fans are great. The younger fans act like they are Nick Saban Alabama. It’s bizarre really.
You didn’t listen to him at the end apparently. I believe in some of his press conferences before retiring both times, he mentioned that losing to ISU basically meant he was doing a good job anymore.
