49 Sports Special: 2006 Countdown to Kickoff

By JoAnne Brand

Thursday, Dec. 28, 2006

For the first time since 2003, the Wildcats are back in a Bowl Game and tonight face 16th-ranked Rutgers in the inaugural Texas Bowl. We've got a great show for you tonight, we'll talk to K-State players, coaches, we'll talk X's and O's and even bring in the legendary old ballcoach himself, Bill Snyder, later in the show. No matter what the outcome here tonight, it's a special year for first year Head Coach Ron Prince and the Cats. After being picked last by many college football experts during the pre-season, here's a look back at how the Kansas State Wildcats defied the odds.
