The Kansas State Football team enjoyed some much needed time off this week before heading back to work Friday and Saturday for it’s fourth straight bowl game appearance.

Head Coach Bill Snyder addressed the fact that they are heading to a bowl game for the fourth straight year Thursday during his weekly press conference.

“I’m pleased certainly for the youngsters in our program and the people that work so hard and commit so much of their time, effort and emotions into this team. Certainly for the fan base, it is important to them, and they like that. For so many, it is the vacation time. I think it is meaningful in that respect,” Snyder said.

Which bowl game the Wildcats will end up at depends on the outcome of games on Saturday. Ryan Mueller, junior defensive end said that not knowing is definitely exciting.

“There is not a clear cut favorite – things could happen. I know that we will all be watching a lot of games this weekend because that can have an impact on where we go and who we could potentially play. So it is very exciting, and I am looking forward to hearing the results,” Mueller said.

K-State has not won a bowl game since 2002 when they beat Arizona State 34-27 in the Holiday Bowl.

Jonathan Truman, junior linebacker, said that the desperation to snap that losing streak is very high,”Nobody on our team has won a bowl game, with the exception of the coaches. We need it. We want it really bad.”

The Wildcats will find out their fate Sunday evening.
