Twelve years have passed since Jason Ray last played in a football game against Kansas State, but it doesn’t feel that way to him.
“One of my best memories is from my senior year leaving Manhattan,” Ray said. “We were about to go play Kansas that next (week) and everyone was cheering for us to go beat Kansas. I thought that was unbelievable as a senior walking off that field.”
Ray was a receiver at Missouri back then. The year was 2007 and it was a wild one for both the Tigers and the Jayhawks. Missouri defeated K-State to improve to 10-1 on the same day KU beat Iowa State to start 11-0.
