Year one of the Bowl Championship Series brought high drama to the sport of college football, and all eyes were on the Big XII Championship Game in St. Louis as #3 Kansas State hoped to clinch a national championship berth against #10 Texas A&M. 

This was just the third conference championship game for the Big XII and it would deliver a classic. 

Michael Bishop and these Wildcats had cruised to an 11-0 record and needed one upset ahead of them to get into the BCS Championship Game. On the other side, the Aggies were starting a backup quarterback but still had Dante Hall and Sirr Parker in their arsenal. 

On this episode, we take you back to that December afternoon in the Trans World Dome to relive this heartbreaking finish for Kansas State. 

Among the things we'll discuss:

• Martin 'Automatica' Gramatica
• Dante Hall the running back
• Bill Snyder vs RC Slocum
• The BCS standings heading into this final week
• Outdated observations
• Some what if scenarios
• A different era of college football
• Brent Musburger and Dan Fouts
