K-State's football team started the season with very little expectations as they were projected to finish in the middle of the Big 12. After some big wins early in the season, it became clear that they were a very good team, and they continued to climb the national rankings. After beating Geno Smith and West Virginia, Collin Klein became the Heisman frontrunner, and after we beat TCU, we were #1 in the country. We were two wins away from playing for the national championship, which would have been the greatest sporting moment of my life, before a crushing loss at Baylor ruined it all. Still, we had a chance to win the Big 12, and we beat Texas to do that. That's certainly a good result to a season, especially one with such low expectations to start, but after being so close to a chance to play for the title, it felt like a disappointment. So tonight was our last game of the season, the Fiesta Bowl against Oregon, which I watched with the three Barton brothers at Nick's house. The Ducks won, but it didn't really matter at that point. We won the Big 12 but not the national championship, and none of that changed from this game. Still, it was a great season for Bill Snyder, Klein, John Hubert, Chris Harper, Arthur Brown, and the boys.
