REASONS FOR K-STATE FANS TO BE THANKFUL

ERIC STONESTREET

I’m not sure how it happened, but the University of Kansas has become the hotbed of comedians and performers. Rob Riggle, Paul Rudd, Jason Sudeikis are all making news in Hollywood while supporting Kansas. Thankfully for Kansas State, the Wildcats have Eric Stonestreet of ‘Modern Family’ acclaim.

Stonestreet has not been shy about supporting the Wildcats in any form,on social media, television whatever. The actor even appeared in a series of shorts about joining the Wildcat football program.

He is a visual presence at bowl games and does not shy away from wearing his purple and white. Eric supports all local teams to be fair, making promotional videos for the Royals and regularly cheering on the Chiefs.

Having Eric Stonestreet adds an element of fun and excitement to the Kansas State experience and the Wildcat community is lucky to have him as an alum and lucky to have him so happily promote his alma mater.
