at Kansas State....for them.

The hype continues to grow for Auburn-Kansas State football showdown
9/15/14
MANHATTAN
Morgan Burns has been at Kansas State long enough to know when a big game is next on the schedule.
He can tell by the number of students who wish him luck between classes and the amount of fans that approach him in town. It happens a lot more when K-State is playing a conference rival than a directional school.
But it happens most when No. 20 K-State is about to face No. 5 Auburn. Based on fan response, Burns is expecting a special crowd.
“Every gameday we get out there and start warming up. You can smell the popcorn and hear the band playing, all the fans yelling chants. I just picture that times 10,†Burns said. “As far as the crowd, they are going to be excited. Everyone on campus is talking Auburn. This game is going to be crazy.â€
Auburn’s visit to Manhattan on Thursday is the most-anticipated Wildcats sporting event of the year. The Tigers are the first nonconference opponent with a top five ranking to play at K-State since Penn State did so in 1969. And unlike that game, which K-State lost 17-14, this game will be televised nationally on ESPN.
Tickets have been sold out for months, and they are selling for as much as $600 on the secondary market. K-State’s last two mid-week home football games -- Nebraska in 2010 and North Dakota State last year -- were played in front of electric crowds, despite losses. Decibel levels are expected to exceed both for Auburn.
“This will likely be our greatest attended game ever,†K-State athletic director John Currie told The Eagle last week. “We actually have not sold standing room-only tickets, because we know our student section will be as full as it has ever been that night.â€
The capacity crowd is expected to be so large that K-State issued a news release on Monday, asking fans to arrive as early as possible for the 6:30 p.m. kickoff. Parking lots will open at 1:30.
“We want to encourage our fans to arrive early, remain patient and give themselves plenty of time to get to the stadium on Thursday,†Currie said in a statement.
The pregame buzz is unmistakable.
“We have been hearing about the buzz for this game since before the season,†defensive tackle Valentino Coleman said. “This game is real big, not just for our football team but our whole community. Our whole community is looking forward to this game and to us putting on a show.â€
Added linebacker Jonathan Truman: “Everyone has had this game highlighted on their calendars. We always talk about taking it one game at a time and we have, but now we are excited this game is finally here. I think everyone else is, too. To have the game on a Thursday night, televised, everybody is watching. I think both us and Auburn are excited to play. It is going to be rocking. Our stadium with all our fans in it is going to be a special place.â€
Question is: How are K-State players handling the buildup to such a big game?
So far, K-State coach Bill Snyder has a positive answer.
“I’m pleased up to this point,†Snyder said Monday during the Big 12 coaches teleconference. “Their focus has been on the moment, whatever that happens to be. Yesterday they were on yesterday and today it’s on today and trying to get themselves better. ... I’d like to think that they’re enthused about the opportunity and challenge that’s in front of them, but again, if you get caught up too much in Thursday night you’re probably not taking care of Monday. That’s where the focus lies, is trying to stay in the moment.â€

It should be crazy alright.

This is their Super Bowl

Only question that now remains, is if after their big win, should they rush the field?

Hey watch it now! It's a family stadium.

I hate to say guys but apparently we will be extremely disappointed come Friday. No sense in even playing the game because KSU has this in the bag.

I find it hard to believe that Auburn has ever experienced how loud it will be at Bill's stadium.

Well, at least they already have experience at it.
This is blowing my mind. They play Texas and Oklahoma and Nebraska as conference opponents. But AUBURN is the team that gets their panties moist. They are validating what we, of course, know - that the SEC is hands down the best conference, and the SEC West is the best division. They are acknowledging that their own conference sucks donkey balls.
Bet that pisses Big Game Bob off.
This is going to be cruel.

OK - "Played". Nitpicker. Always picking the nits.
My point is that they have played real teams at home before. If Auburn were rolling into Wyoming or San Jose Obispo State or even UMass or Maine, I could get the "ZOMG!!! AUBURN IS COMING TO TOWN!!!" But fer Pete's sake, you play in a Big Boy Conference!! Act like it, bor. According to Big Game Bob, your's is the BETTER conference. Sheesh.

Have we really decided that they play in a big boy conference? I would say the jury is still out on that one.

As long as TX and OK are in it, then I have to say yes, it's a Big Boy Conference. Note, however, that when you say to a kid "MY! Aren't YOU acting like a big boy?!", you usually say it in that fake, sing songy, patronizing tone of voice.
SO MUCH nuance lost over teh innerwebz. :sad:

Ahhh yes. The Texas that lost BYU and the Oklahoma that soundly thrashed what was probably the 12th to 14 best team in the conference.

SEC is the best. They are probably the best of the rest. Not saying that's an awesome thing to be, but somebody has to be the top turd in the shitpile.

Just read this little nugget:
Half of Kansas State’s roster vs. Auburn – 58 players – will be former or current walk-ons, according to CBS’ Dennis Dodd.
Bless their hearts.

Sorry but this is a mismatch. If people would throw the emotional rhetoric and talking heads out the windows for a second they would see that.

NEVER MIND!!
Scattered thunderstorms in the morning giving way to partly cloudy skies late. High 81F. Winds ESE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain falling from 50% to 20% in the evening.
Feel much better...

They remind me much of the contingent from Arkansas State a year ago. It was their Super Bowl, too. And it was Arkansas' Super Bowl a few weeks ago.

Look people, it's in the bag. Colin Cowherd said earlier today that Auburn is the best team in the nation. Book it, Dan-O.
