A week from today, the Kansas State Wildcats will play in their 21st bowl game, versus the UCLA Bruins in the Cactus Bowl. With that in mind, we at Bring on the Cats decided to take a look at all 20 of K-State’s previous bowl games.
1982 Independence Bowl
It took a long time for K-State to make its first bowl game, and I mean a looooong time. It was 80 years after the first Rose Bowl, and approximately 13.8 billion years after the Big Bang before Jim Dickey’s Wildcats went 6-4-1 to earn a place in the 1982 Independence Bowl against the 6-5 Wisconsin Badgers.
