Bill Snyder's Kansas State Wildcats beat the #1 ranked Oklahoma Sooners to win the 2003 Big XII Football Championship, 35-7. Before this game many sports experts called the OU football team, “The greatest team ever in the history of college football and “The greatest college football team ever assembled.” Well, K-State beat that great team badly, with what many K-State fans considered “just a pretty good Kansas State football team”, by no means K-State’s greatest team ever.
This was the #1 ranked undefeated OU team that supposedly could beat many NFL teams. All the commentary before the game consisted of how bad OU would win not whether they would win. Well, we K-State fans believed! Many of their fans at the game that day (I was there) were rude, arrogant, and obnoxious. The satisfaction I took in winning that game will be the same satisfaction I take watching Obama and his Rats go down to massive defeat in November.
How about the “best” example...

I remember watching that game live...I was 16 years old...
If I had heard that pre-game speech by Herb, I would have gone into Hanson brothers mode on those Russians...
They’d have felt me for sure!
