The KSU Turnaround
Published 11/9/2007 at Big Red Network
Most teams that have consistent success feel like they know why. While Kansas State is probably not as successful as they’d like to be just yet, they do appear poised to become bowl-eligible for the second straight year after a two year absence from bowl competition. And if you were to point to a single factor that has brought about this success, every Wildcat player, coach, and fan would likely tell you the same thing. It’s the power towels. That’s right. And this video says it all: Come on, you didn’t think we could go this whole week without showing this one, did you? ...

HUSKER UP: Kansas State

Yes, I know the best the team can finish is 6-6. And, it is hard to get fired up when the team is...well...pretty lousy right now. But, it is the final home game of the season. It's Senior Day. There is a salute to military and veterans. And, Kansas State is in town trying to bounce back from last week's loss to Iowa State. Did their fans bring the power towels? For these reasons, it is time to HUSKER UP. Salute to Military and Veterans Regardless of the game outcome tomorrow, there should be some special moments in the stadium Saturday. NU is saluting America's soldiers and war veterans. Regardless of one's opinion of the military action ...

Editor's note: This round table was supposed to be published before the holidays. Chalk up our late contribution to the eggnog. -Jason You have to take one of your traditions and give it away to your main rival. Remember, you're giving it away, meaning that it's no longer yours after you give it. Steve: Releasing balloons after the first touchdown. I wouldn't miss it, it never really did much for me after the age of 10. You can take one of your traditions and give it to anyone else you might want to benefit, within the Big 12 or not.
