Rapid Fire – Collin Klein, K-State Basketball, And Richard Linton/Nae’Qwan Tomlin

December 6, 2023 Joe Mathieu Comments 0 Comment

It has been a fast and furious roller coaster of emotions for K-State sports fans over the last 24 hours. Offensive coordinator Collin Klein resigned to take the offensive coordinator job at Texas A&M, K-State basketball won an overtime thriller against Villanova in Bramlage Coliseum, while rumors are flying around about the suspension of star basketball player Nae’Qwan Tomlin and University president Richard Linton’s involvement in prolonging his suspension. There were even “Free Nae’Qwan” rallies held outside Linton’s residence on…

Rapid Fire – Transfer Portal, Basketball, And Football

November 29, 2023 Joe Mathieu Comments 0 Comment

News surrounding K-State has been coming fast and furious, so it is a great time for a new version of Rapid Fire. Here we go. -The Avery Johnson era has officially begun at K-State. The Wildcats had THREE quarterbacks enter the transfer portal…Will Howard, Jake Rubley, and Adryan Lara. The Wildcats are giving away quarterbacks as Oprah gives away cars. Honestly, I think all three saw the handwriting on the wall that Johnson will be K-State’s starting quarterback in 2024…

The Iowa State Cyclones came into Manhattan and beat K-State 42-35 on a cold, snowy night on Senior Day, likely quarterback Will Howard’s last home game as a Wildcat. K-State’s defense was not good in this one, giving up 488 yards and too many big plays to count. Every Iowa State touchdown came on plays of 33 yards or longer. I’ve never seen anything like it. At least K-State’s defense never gave up a red zone touchdown. Of course, Iowa…

That makes it 27 wins and four losses for K-State in the last 31 games against…

From The Couch – “There’s No Better Feeling Than Beating Little Brother”

November 19, 2023 Joe Mathieu Comments 0 Comment

It wasn’t 64 to nothing, but it was 15 in a row, as K-State beat Kansas 31 to 27 last night in Lawrence. A back-and-forth affair with five lead changes in total, the game was mostly frustrating to watch from the perspective of a K-State fan. KU was playing with third-string quarterback Cole Ballard, but that didn’t seem to matter as Kansas had the K-State defense on its heels for most of the first half, building a 20 to 16…
