As the 2025 season approaches its finale, the Kansas State Wildcats prepare to take the field for a crucial matchup that could still offer them a chance at a bowl game. Despite facing a challenging season, with an overall record of 5-6 and a conference record of 4-4, hope remains alive among K-State fans as they gear up for their last game against the Colorado Buffaloes.
The Wildcats entered the season with high expectations, dreaming of competing for the Big 12 championship. However, a series of unfortunate performances has left them needing a victory on Senior Day to secure their postseason hopes. The weather conditions in Manhattan promise to be less than ideal, with a cold and possibly rainy afternoon ahead, making the atmosphere challenging for both players and fans alike.
On the opposing sideline, the Buffaloes come into the game struggling at 3-8 overall and just 1-7 in conference play. After a surprising victory earlier in the season, Colorado has hit a rough patch, losing four consecutive games, including several by substantial margins. This presents an opportunity for the Wildcats, as they aim to capitalize on a team that appears to be looking towards the offseason.
For the Wildcats, the stakes are high. A strong performance reminiscent of last weekend’s game could uplift the spirits of the team and the fans despite the cold. However, a repeat of the disappointing display from previous weeks, like the outing against Oklahoma State, would make for a long afternoon.
The game, which kicks off at 11:00 AM CT at Bill Snyder Family Stadium, marks an emotional day for K-State as they honor their seniors. This final appearance is an opportunity to send them off with a win and a potential trip to a more favorable climate for their postseason games.
Fans who are unable to catch the game on FS1 can listen to the live broadcast across the K-State Sports Network or tune in via SiriusXM Satellite Radio. With a strong showing today, the Wildcats could turn a challenging season into a hopeful conclusion. Go Cats!
