TCU and Kansas State have played some memorable games over the years.
The two teams squared off for the first time in 1922, when the Cats smoked the Frogs in the Little Apple by a score of 45-0. The would meet for the first time in the modern era in 1983, once again in Manhattan, with Jim Dicker upending Jim Wacker and the Horned Frogs 20-3. The Frogs won the next two in Fort Worth - the last two times these teams would play without Gary Patterson and Bill Snyder involved.
When the Horned Frogs joined the Big 12 Conference in 2012, Snyder was coming off of his second retirement and had been back at the helm of K State Football for three years.
