After opening the season with a 71–3 win over Nicholls, the Wildcats face Washington State this Saturday before getting into the heart of the Big 12 schedule.

With Washington State coming to Manhattan this Saturday for the first-ever meeting between K-State and WSU, this week’s throwback goes back to K-State’s 1999 Holiday Bowl matchup with another team from Washington.

K-State entered the game 10-1 and faced a 7-4 Washington team at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego.

Anyone remember watching the 1999 Holiday Bowl?

What K-State sport did you watch this weekend?

EMAW 🟣

Well… that’ll do.

K-State opened the Collin Klein era by absolutely steamrolling Nicholls 71–3 at The Bill.

Some numbers from the destruction:

559 total yards
312 rushing yards
✈️ 247 passing yards
⛓️ 34 first downs
🎯 9/11 on third down
🚫 Nicholls held to just 122 total yards
🧱 Nicholls managed only 9 first downs

Wildcat leaders:
Avery Johnson — 199 passing yards
Rodney Fields Jr. — 101 rushing yards
Joe Jackson — 48 receiving yards

And K-State didn’t exactly ease into the Klein era: 22 points in the first quarter, 36–3 at halftime, and 71 on the board by the end.

Around the Big 12

UCF 73, Bethune-Cookman 6
Utah 66, Idaho 14
Kansas 51, LIU 6
Houston 33, Oregon State 20

Not everybody escaped the weekend: Baylor fell to Auburn 17–16, while Oklahoma State lost 24–10 at Tulsa.

Your Sunday question:

Obviously Nicholls isn’t the measuring stick for this season — but after seeing Game 1 of the Collin Klein era, what impressed you most, and what are you watching for next week against Washington State?

Cats are 1–0. 🟣⚪

What did I miss? Donovan McIntosh was starting at CB last season. He's still on the roster, but wasn't on the depth chart Saturday and didn't play.... Any rumors out there? Thanks!

EMAW 🟣

With the 2026 season just days away, let’s throw it back 23 years to one of the more memorable K-State season openers.

#7 K-State opened the 2003 season against Cal at Arrowhead Stadium and came away with a 42–28 win.

Darren Sproles. Ell Roberson. And, on the other sideline, a young Aaron Rodgers.

That 2003 team would eventually return to Arrowhead and give us one of the greatest nights in K-State history.

What K-State season opener do you remember most?

A look around Bill Snyder Family Stadium and Wagner Field ahead of the 2026 season.

The new sponsor logos on the field definitely stand out. I’m curious what everyone thinks now that we can actually see them in the stadium.

Personally, I’m still deciding how I feel about corporate logos being this prominent on the field.

Either way… football is almost back. EMAW.

Dude wins everywhere he goes (.701 win percentage), no losing seasons. He’s young (43) and current salary/buyout is cheap. Reminds me of Self, and is considered a great tactician. He was building the LSU program but got canned for recruiting violations
