Purple Pride ebbs after game
It wasn't hard to spot a Kansas State fan at Saturday's football game.
Many of them wore purple blazers, white cowbody hats with a purple "KS" on them, or purple and white buttons or ribbons that read "We Gonna Win," "Pride," or "Kill Snob Hill." A few of the fans were carrying purple and white balloons.
Enthusiasm for the "Purple Pride" was apparent. Many of the K-State students said the enthusiasm was "better than ever before."
"The (K-State) stadium is full for every home game," said one Wildcat fan. "The enthusiasm is
great and there is real pride in the team."
"The students have gone all out for the Purple Pride," said another student as he indicated the many blazers, buttons and hats around him.
A married student at K-State said she thought Manhattan "has really changed-it's behind K-State all the way."
Opinion on K-State's football team was varied. Some of the students said it was all Vince Gibson's team. Others said it was still Doug Weaver's team, and a few thought the team was in a transitional stage.
team so far, but Gibson's team is coming up."
One student said, "It's Weaver's
Another student said, "Gibson is a great man and will really do lots for the team. In three or four years the team will really go."
"The team isn't Gibson's or Weaver's—they're in a transition," said a third student. "K-State has a lot of good players and I really think the team has potential."
"Student spirit was really high after our first win," said a K-State student. "It went down, then really came back up for this game."
Some K-Staters said they thought the game between KU and K-State would be "really good—maybe even close" but they didn't think K-State would win. Others said they were sure the "Purple Pride" couldn't lose.
One K-State student, however,
didn't seem too happy with his
"pride" button near the end of
the game. He threw it on the
ground, then picked it up and put
it in a pocket as he walked out of
Memorial Stadium.
But the KU fans seemed happy with the game's outcome. Some were shouting "We wrecked Silo Tech," and one young boy kept yelling "Yahoo, Mountain Dew—PU, that's KSU."
