Book Description
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. From Wildcats to Powercats. Test your trivia knowledge with questions about players, coaches and big games, from George Maddox and Pappy Waldorf to Michael Bishop and Bill Snyder. From Independence Bowl to the Fiesta Bowl. Complete with hundreds of questions, facts and photos.

International Sport: A Bibliography, 2000
Author: Richard William Cox
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135293023
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
There has been an explosion in the quantity of sports history literature published in recent years, making it increasingly difficult to keep abreast of developments. The annual number of publications has increased from around 250 to 1,000 a year over the last decade. This is due in part to the fact that during the late 1980s and 90s, many clubs, leagues and governing bodies of sport have celebrated their centenaries and produced histories to mark this occasion and commemorate their achievements. It is also the result of the growing popularity and realisation of the importance of sport history research within academe. This international bibliography of books, articles, conference proceedings and essays in the English language is a one-stop for the sports historian to know what is new.

Pages : 264
Book Description
There was no playoff system in place for Florida's smallest schools in 1964, so Wildwood High's brilliant young coach Robert "Byrd" Whigham demanded that his team be allowed to compete "up" in a higher classification against schools four times as large. No one outside of Wildwood expected Byrd and his Wildcats to win enough games to qualify for the Class A playoffs, let alone go all the way. It defied imagination that one of the smallest Class B schools in the state (192nd in enrollment) with a roster of 20 players, all of them undersized, could be crowned Class A champion. The incredible true story of how the underdog Wildcats defied the odds will leave you believing anything is possible.
