  “A week ago Tuesday, it was not a very good day. They came together. I told Wyatt (Thompson) and the radio people on the pregame (show) that if going through the loss last week brings our team together, I’ll take all the criticism. I’ll take all the gruff. It doesn’t matter. I think it brought those guys together.”…Bruce Weber, Iowa State post-game, December 15 JM:  K-State beat Iowa State in Ames 75-64 on Tuesday.  It was an ugly game. …

  K-State basketball has started the season 1-3, their lone win a four point victory over perennial loser Kansas City.  They’ve lost their three games by an average of 13 points.  This season could end up being historically bad for the basketball Wildcats.  It hasn’t been pretty, but let’s review what has happened so far this season…. “I knew it was going to be a difficult game for us.

Photo via Tribune News Service “Skylar’s done for the year,” Klieman said. “He had surgery last week on an upper-body injury. Unfortunately, his season is over with. But we’re going to rally around Will Howard and Nick Ast.”…Ryan Black, Manhattan Mercury, October 12th, 2020 JM:  And with that announcement, Will Howard takes over as K-State’s starting quarterback. Many questions remain.  Will Skylar return next season?  He has an extra year of eligibility due to Covid 19.  My gut says that…
