Beginning with the first official football game played by K-State in 1896, the purple-clad gridders always struggled to find respectability. The Wildcats had only an occasional good season and individual star on the field. But the fact is that during the '50s, '60s and '70s, losing records and disappointing seasons became the standard in Manhattan. And by the end of the 1980s, the team was mired in a 30-game losing streak and considered the worst college football team in America.Then the turn around.Bill Snyder took over the head coaching duties at K-State in 1989, and within five seasons did something many thought impossible, if not miraculous: he turned Kansas State into not only a winning program, but a dominant contender in the world of college football.From Wildcats to Powercats.The path to being a national power was a circuitous one for K-State. Test your trivia knowledge with questions about players, coaches and big games, from George Maddox and Pappy Waldorf to Michael Bishop and Bill Snyder. From the Independence Bowl to the Fiesta Bowl. Complete with hundreds of questions, facts and photos.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

As an award-winning author who has written 13 books on sports, Mark Stallard recently made the jump to the world of fiction with his debut novel, Rock ‘n Fire.

A native Kansan, Stallard was born in Topeka—his father's nomadic blood keep the family on the move, and by the time he was seven, Stallard had lived in five different Kansas communities. His knowledge and love of the state served him well and the state is prominent throughout the book. After finishing high school in Ralston, Nebraska, he returned to the Sunflower State to study Education and English at the University of Kansas. Stallard also studied journalism at Wichita State University, winning the school's top Journalism Merit Award for magazine writing. Stallard eventually covered sports for the Wichita Eagle, as well as writing for other magazines. In 1993, he received a Master of Liberal Arts from Baker University.

After writing and submitting proposals for several different book ideas, Stallard landed his first book deal almost by accident, and Kansas Royals Facts & Trivia was published—although just barely—in 1999. Since then, Stallard has written and published more 13 more books, including Kansas City Chiefs Encyclopedia (third edition, August, 2013), AFL to Arrowhead, Wildcats to Powercats, Tales from the Jayhawks Gridiron, Then Landry Said to Staubach...., and Otis Taylor: Football from My Own Heart.

In 2007, Stallard received an Award of Recognition for Literary and Artistic Achievement from the Ohio Library Association.

The fourth edition of Stallard's Tales from the Jayhawks Locker Room was published in 2017 and received many high-praise, 5-star reviews on Amazon: "Great book! If you're a Jayhawks fan, I guarantee you'll enjoy this. Very well written and an easy read... Highly recommended."

Stallard is a full-time writer living in Kansas City with his family.

K-State football has come a long way from the days in1989 and before where if the stadium had 20,000 fans it was a great day. Now 50,000 plus fans fill the stadium to capacity in an upgraded venue with screaming fans and the tickets are all sold out by midsummer. The man who cause this unbelievable change is Coach Bill Snyder who is still at the helm of K-State football. This book is an excellent tribute to this man and family spirit he has brought to athletics, the university and the community at large. As the title indicates, the book includes stories of the man himself and a lot of little known facts that explain the mans success. It is a certainly a book about "I did it my way" as the old song goes. It is a good read for those of us who love K-State and one others who are not might enjoy the story of futility to great success.
