Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the first official football game played by K-State in 1896, the purple-clad gridders always struggled to find respectability. By the end of the 1980s, the team was mired in a 30-game winless streak and considered the worst college football team in America. Then the turn around. Bill Snyder took over the head coaching duties at K-State in 1989, and within five seasons did something many thought impossible, if not miraculous: he turned Kansas State into not only a winning program, but a dominant contender in the world of college football. From Wildcats to Powercats. Test your trivia knowledge with questions about players, coaches and big games, from George Maddox and Pappy Waldorf to Michael Bishop and Bill Snyder. From Independence Bowl to the Fiesta Bowl. Complete with hundreds of questions, facts and photos.
