Kansas State- Texas Game


It was not a regular saturday football game.....It was played against the No. 4 team in the nation- Texas Longhorns. In addition, it was on ABC's Football Night Saturday (50% of US will be getting it Live on their TV sets)

Conditions were near perfect for wildcats....Bitter Cold(38 degrees), Purple Clad people screaming on top of their heads and more importantly it is played the week after K-state's convincing victory against Colorado.

Manjesh and Varun Rao were in town to send off Sham Kashyap, who is leaving to India the next day. Ironically, they were presently working/ residing in Texas....I thought that they would support texas in this game....but they were supporting wildcats and proved that it's indeed purple blood that's flowing in thier veins.

Five of them went to the stadium and Five of us were catching up live on television.

Pregame Show......"Varun, we will have dinner"......"Dudes, its gonna start!!!"......"what happened man?".......3....2....1.......

Finally here we are watching the most important game in this season.

Touchdown.....Texas!!!!

"It's gonna be an easy Texas win"
"Yeah, I think so too"
..................................................
..................................................
"Hey what happened......is McCoy injured?"
"Looks like he is!!!"
"Oh my God....we have a better chance now"
"Let's see what Freeman can do"
.....................................................
.....................................................

K- State: 42; Texas: 21

"Oh my God....K-state will win"
"Man!!! its gonna be great ...we should go to Aggieville after this game"

K- State: 42; Texas: 28

K- State: 42; Texas: 35

"Dude, Texas will win man!!!"
"One more touchdown....its gonna be over for us"

K- State: 45; Texas: 42

10..9...8..7..6...5...4...3..2..1

" We won!!!!"
"Oh man, K-state won"
"Unbelievable"

It was one of the best games that I have seen....The game was swinging on both sides and it was a really deserving win for K-state. It was really emotional for me to see us winning against Texas. After the game it was commotion everywhere. I mean, we wont get a sweeter victory than this this season....Even if we win a bowl game...I am guessing this will be our season's best win.

We ended up enjoying the whole night... It was very sweet altogether.

P.S: what did we achieve apart from the attention we got throughout US?
No. 13 Texas is out of contention for the national title game.....that's right Texas is No.13 now!!!!!
