Speaking of that first game, Kansas State has announced a stripe out for the game. Fans will be asked to wear either white or purple based on their ticket location. In connection with the game, fans will have the chance to buy a limited edition Bill Snyder/16 Goals t-shirt in either white or purple at various locations in Manhattan and/or at your local Kansas Sampler.
In previewing Week 8 of the upcoming season, the Dallas Morning News suggests that Texas will be perfectly placed to upset Kansas State. Now this is the point at which we would crow about disrespect, but the fact that this is being characterized as a big upset six weeks into the season, and in view of how much the Wildcats have lost from last year, this may indeed be a lot of respect.
