It is difficult for Chuck and Mary Jo Hamon to keep track of the Kansas State bowl games they have attended. As lifelong fans, they were at the Copper Bowl for Bill Snyder’s first postseason appearance in 1993 and they have made nearly every bowl trip since.
At this point, they only keep track of the K-State bowls they missed – the Independence Bowl in 1982 and the Aloha Bowl in 1994.
K-State will play in its 19th bowl game on Saturday against Arkansas, which means the Hamons will watch the Wildcats in a bowl for the 17th time.
