It’s time to wrap up my Mount Rushmore series with this week’s topic, the K-State punters. The punter on a football team is typically the most unheralded position on the field. If you ask a casual fan the name of the punter on their favorite team, most of them probably can’t tell you. Even so, K-State has had some pretty good punters over the years that haven’t been household names but names that fans have come to know and love….
K-State basketball workouts ended this week and the players and staff are going on a much-needed two week vacation. Jerome Tang spoke to the press before heading to Cabo.

It was a lot of fun being a K-State football fan last night watching K-State beat LSU 42-20 in the Texas Bowl. K-State led 42-7 late in the 4th quarter before LSU scored two meaningless touchdowns near the end of the game.
