You guys were always my favorite purple Wildcats with a mascot named Willie.

A gray-furred wildcat mascot named Willie.

It’s honestly kind of uncanny.

I’ve heard that someone from Northwestern football moved to/visited K-State while they were still the Aggies and influenced them to also become purple cats. All the same to me, I was there cheering for purple cats tonight regardless!

The 2025 experience tbh. Beat Illinois like that to where they barely got ranked all season last year despite having an actual ranked win unlike Tennessee and Mizzou

Penn State is simultaneously "Others receiving votes" in the Top 25 rankings, and 18th in the B1G standings
