Today’s lead story is the election of former Kansas State Wildcats quarterback Michael Bishop to the National Football Foundation’s College Football Hall of Fame. The announcement says that Bishop, along with 17 other players and four coaches, will be inducted on Dec. 5 in Las Vegas.
Bishop came to K-State from Blinn Junior College in 1997 to play for his fellow CFB HOF member Bill Snyder. In his two seasons in Manhattan, K-State posted a combined 22-3 record. That .880 winning percentage is the highest of any two-year period in Wildcat history. In 1997, Bishop led K-State to a Fiesta Bowl championship, arguably K-State’s biggest bowl championship to this day.
