Can K-State Win The Big 12?

Can K-State Win The Big 12?

Normally I do a “reset” during the bye week regarding my prediction and expectations for K-State football for the remainder of the season. It just so happens that the bye week for K-State this year comes after the first conference game, but I think I have seen enough from K-State and other teams in the conference to adjust my preseason prediction of a 9-3 record. In general, I think K-State’s prospects for making the Big 12 championship game are better…

From The Couch – Jerome Tang Contract Extension

JM: I love coach Tang and what he did in his first season was phenomenal. K-State definitely doesn’t want to lose him, but does a seven-year contract seem a bit excessive for a guy who just completed his first season? It does to me.

Add to that the fact that K-State’s defense was scorched early and often…

From The Couch – Well, That Sucked

From The Couch – Well, That Sucked

Sorry, everyone. It took me a couple of days to get over this loss. Missouri beat K-State 30-27 on Saturday on a 61-yard field goal as time expired. I was there to witness it in person. It was a great back and forth game with lots of drama and excitement. There were many big plays by both teams as well as lots of blunders. There’s a lot to dissect in this game, so let’s get to it. Be prepared for…
