All the top sights and sounds from Kansas State-Iowa State in Dublin

For the fourth consecutive year, the 2025 college football season will get underway with a Week 0 tilt abroad, as No. 17 Kansas State and No. 22 Iowa State square off in Dublin on Saturday for the Aer Lingus College Football Classic.

Last year's Aer Lingus Classic proved to be just that, with the Georgia Tech upsetting then-No. 10 Florida State 24-21 thanks to a field goal as time expired.

Can this year's game pick up where the 2024 Classic left off? With Kansas State and Iowa State's "Farmageddon" clash set to have major Big 12 title race implications, the bar is high for another memorable start to the season. Dublin proved to be into the season-opening spirit well before kickoff at Aviva Stadium, though. Here are the top sights and sounds from around the capital city.
