Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the first official football game played by K-State in 1896, the purple-clad gridders always struggled to find respectability. By the end of the 1980s, the team was mired in a 30-game winless streak and considered the worst college football team in America. Then the turn around. Bill Snyder took over the head coaching duties at K-State in 1989, and within five seasons did something many thought impossible, if not miraculous: he turned Kansas State into not only a winning program, but a dominant contender in the world of college football.
