Sunflower Showdown

Tonight, K-State and KU play each other in football at Lawrence. The Governor’s Cup has been a long tradition in Kansas sports history, dating back to 1902. It is the fourth longest uninterrupted series in college football history. We love tradition.

With that said, many households in the state of Kansas become VERY divided on this particular day, and our family is no exception. Let us give you a little back round. We actually didn’t grow up a K-State fan…simple K-State lovers. We were born into a KU loving, everything crimson blue, Rock-Chalk Jayhawk family. Our parents went to KU, our older brother John went to KU, and our little brother Jordan just graduated a year ago from KU. Get the picture? As a kid, we loved everything about Lawrence, Allen Field House, Mass street, etc. We even went to KU for a YEAR!

But one friendly visit to Kansas State University during our freshman year of college, and suddenly everything changed. It was like another world existed. We wanted to wear Bill Snyder purple, drink in Aggieville and sing the K-State alma mater. And so, we made the leap into Wildcat country our sophomore year and have been bleeding purple ever since.

So, tonight we wanted to make things a little more interesting for the Grier/Wurth family. Our father and we have wagered a little bet. Which ever team wins, the loser has to buy the winner a t-shirt of their alma mater. Don’t you just love it!

Who do you think will win? TEAM CAT or TEAM HAWK…

Let kick off begin!
