Kansas State’s once-in-a-lifetime trip to Ireland came to a bitter end on Saturday when Iowa State defeated the Wildcats 24-21 at Aviva Stadium. That is surely a painful result for everyone in EMAW nation to accept when you consider that K-State gave up a home game at Bill Snyder Family Stadium for yet another Farmageddon loss.

In what turned out to be a defensive struggle, the Wildcats dropped their season opener to the Cyclones in Ireland.
