The 2011 regular season came to an end today for the Wildcats in the form of a, 30-23, victory over Iowa State. The scheduled 11:30 a.m. kickoff was delayed until 1:30 due to lightning in the area. The weather was cold, rainy, and, well, "football weather," I suppose. It was also "Senior Day" at Bill Snyder Family Stadium for all graduating (theoretically) players. Now K-State waits until 7:15 p.m. tonight (Sunday) to find out its bowl fate. Below are a few images from today's game.
