Sunflower Showdown brings bowl eligibility one step closer

For the seventh time in a row and the 20th time since 1989, a K-State team led by Bill Snyder has beaten Kansas in the annual Sunflower Showdown.

Even after 20 wins, Snyder said the Wildcats’ 45-14 victory on Saturday still resonates with him as if it were his first.

“They mean an awful lot,” Snyder said. “I’ve been on the other end of it. So, you don’t like that. I appreciate all people in the state of Kansas. Everybody has a side. It means a lot to KU people just as it means an awful lot to K-State people.
