Bus trip to K-State vs. KU game a success Wildcats Forever started out with a bang for the 2010-2011 school year. As early as mid-September, it became clear membership was going to greatly surpass any previous year’s total. With such rapid growth of the program, Wildcats Forever was able to land another sponsorship from K-State President Kirk H. Schulz to take a bus trip to the K-State vs. KU football game Oct. 14. With the cost of the trip a mere $50 (just a game ticket was $90!), Wildcats Forever members were starting to buzz about getting a seat. However, even SAB did not expect the tremendous response we saw. On Sept. 28, we opened the phone lines to begin taking reservations at 9 a.m., and by 9:22, all 45 spots were filled — including the wait list! The day proved to be worth the wait. Wildcats Forever members left from Bill Synder Family Stadium in a charter bus in the afternoon. Each member was given a goodie bag that included snacks and a T-shirt to wear to the game. The movie “The Blindside” was played on the way to Lawrence, Kan., to get everyone in a football frame of mind.

Wildcats Forever members fill a charter bus headed to Lawrence Oct. 14 for the K-State vs. KU football game.
Once there, Wildcats Forever members enjoyed dinner surrounded by fellow K-Staters at Wayne and Larry’s. There, we watched Powercat GameDay and had a member interviewed about his thoughts on the upcoming game. After dinner, we listened to the K-State Fight Song and did a round of the Wabash Cannonball on the
way to the stadium. The final score was 55-7, with the ’Cats coming out victorious. Overall, the trip was a huge success. Plus, it’s always fun to beat the Jayhawks! Since the trip, our numbers have continued to skyrocket. As of Dec. 1, Wildcats Forever has a record 2,027 members!
