"He's an inspiration to me, he's just so much fun to watch he gives 100% and he's made such a great impact on Kansas City, Wichita, everywhere," said Rutland.

Then, came Tailgate Thursday.

Woodman Elementary School held a cookout for the staff and activities for the kids including a dance party.

The weather was a little bit cooler than in Miami, but principal Janice Wilson says that's all a part of the football season.

"They are having a blast, having a lot of fun, it is cold but so is tailgating," she said.

Students and staff at O'Loughlin Elementary School in Hays and Washington Elementary in Ellis took their creative juices to the next level with these videos for the Red Kingdom.
