K-State fans spent the night relitigating Klein's two-point math, with year-one grace wearing visibly thin.
The emotional rollercoaster
Kansas State fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Kansas State lost 27-24 at Colorado to fall to 4-4, and the argument over one decision has outlasted the game itself. The turning point was Klein passing on a two-point try to go for the tie, which one fan sarcastically framed as giving up "the chance to end the game on your own terms." Others insisted that, "as bad as the defense was," two was mandatory. A minority pointed out the second-guessing would exist either way. Misery somehow improved from last week, which mostly indicts last week.
What fans said
“Any time you can give up the chance to end the game on your own terms when you have the opponent reeling, you have to do it”
