The Manhattan Project

Faithful to our colors, we shall ever be, fighting ever fighting for a Wildcat Victory!

The WildHawks, and our friends the Kings, took a trip to Manhattan, Ks to watch the Cats' last non-conference game of the year against the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns.

The game turned out to be quite a shootout with KSU prevailing 45-37. What started out looking like a blowout in favor of KSU turned into a slow motion train wreck as the Wildcat defense was pounded to the tune of 509 yards allowed to the Ragin' Cajuns (including some 335 yards of rushing). The natives were getting restless at Bill Snyder Family Stadium as a result of the lackluster defensive display. Although the game was never seriously in doubt (well, ok, maybe it was), the Cajuns gave KSU more of a scare than the majority of fans in attendance found to be acceptable. The boo birds came out a few times, and we were witness to one of the poorest student sections I have ever seen at a KSU football game. The students took a page out of the KU student playbook (before they were good) and did a classic "Jayhawk Walk" after the half. As you can see, by the middle of the 4th quarter the student section was no more than 25% full. Sad, just sad.





For this type of pathetic effort, I am borrowing a feature from the Baldy's blog and awarding all student season ticket holders my inaugural D-Bag of the Week Award.
