Kansas State Wildcats Football

Kansas State plays its home games at Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium in Manhattan, Kansas, on the north side of the Kansas State University campus. It replaced the team’s World War I Memorial Stadium and has a capacity of roughly 50,000 people.

The team is currently coached by Chris Klieman, who was hired in 2019 to replace Bill Synder. Synder was considered the best head coach in the team’s history and is widely credited for turning the program around.

Before Synder’s arrival in 1989, the team had appeared in just a single bowl game — a 14-3 loss to Wisconsin in the 1983 Independence Bowl. Although Kansas State lost that game, it’s special for being the first live college football game televised on ESPN.

The team only won a single game in Snyder’s first season, but this marked the team’s first win in three years. In 1990, the team won five games, only the third time the team had done so since 1973.

Wildcats History

The team had won just 299 games prior to Snyder but would win 215 during his two tenures with the school. Kansas State won the Big 12 Conference in 2003 — the school’s first conference title since 1934, when the conference was known as the Big Eight. The school’s other Big 12 conference titles came in 2012 and 2022.

Kansas State won its first bowl game in 1993, when the school beat Wyoming 52-17 in the Copper Bowl. Today, the Copper Bowl is known as the Guaranteed Rate Bowl. The Wildcats would then appear in a bowl game every year through to 2003, and the school has appeared in 24 bowl games since 1993 (25 overall). They have 11 victories in those games, with a perfect 3-0 record in the Holiday Bowl and a 35-14 win against Syracuse in the 1997 Fiesta Bowl.

Players and Ranking

Many notable players have played for Kansas State, though several were only lightly recruited at the time.

During Bill Synder’s tenure, it was common for the K-State football team to recruit players from junior colleges in Kansas. This is how quarterback Micheal Bishop would become the starting quarterback at Kansas State in 1998 and how running back and returner Darren Sproles would join the team and become its breakout star in 2003.

During the 1998 season, the Wildcats spent a week atop the polls and were considered favorites to win a national title. They lost in the 1998 title game to Texas A&M though on a controversial touchdown call in overtime.

Kansas State Rivalries

Kansas State has had several rivals, including Kansas, Iowa State, and Nebraska. The Wildcats’ series against Iowa State included two games at Arrowhead Stadium in 2009 and 2010, referred to as Farmageddon. The two schools still play each other now, but at their own stadiums.

The annual Wildcats’ game against the Kansas Jayhawks is known as the Sunflower Showdown. The Wildcats last played Nebraska in 2010 when the school decided to leave the Big 12 for the Big 10.
