By the time Saturday’s Sunflower Showdown rolls around, the energy surrounding David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium will be at a fever pitch. Kansas hasn’t beaten Kansas State since November 1st, all the way back in 2008. For those who painfully need reminders, that is 16 times in a row. Okay, that is all we will say about that.
Many of these games have been decided by playmakers; individual bits of brilliance (or stupidity) have pushed the Wildcats over the edge. Look at the last two matchups, a 31-27 loss and a 29-27 loss, margins that are decided by a drive, and it's all it takes for Kansas to right the ship.
