K-State is still in a good position to earn a spot to play for the Big 12 championship in Arlington after a 29-27 victory over Kansas on Saturday night. Their schedule appears to get a bit easier in the next three games, as they play at Houston, then Arizona State and Cincinnati at home before ending the regular season against Iowa State in Ames. But you can’t take any opponent for granted in this version of the Big 12. Win…
If you have followed sports for any length of time, you have probably heard coaches and players say about their rival, “It’s not a rivalry if it is not competitive.” I somewhat agree but mostly disagree with that sentiment. The University of Kansas and Kansas State University have always been fierce rivals, no matter how good or bad the sports programs happen to be. If I had my way, K-State would beat KU by 50 points for 50 years in…
Quarterback Avery Johnson threw for 298 yards and three touchdowns in a 45-18 win over the West Virginia Mountaineers on Saturday night.

It was nice to see a blowout, no-stress win as a fan, but this was still a game in doubt at halftime, and had West Virginia quarterback Garrett Greene been healthy throughout the game, the final…
I am not a fan of the Colorado Buffaloes. Never have been. Their fans have always been arrogant and condescending. Add Deion Sanders and his spoiled brat kids into the mix, and they are one of the most unlikeable programs in all of college football. No matter what the media wants to spin to all of us. That made K-State’s 31-28 victory over Colorado in Boulder Saturday night/Sunday morning the most satisfying K-State victory in quite some time. I flew…
The K-State football team returns to action this Saturday night at 9:15 against the Colorado Buffaloes. After the dissolution of the Pac 12 last year, Colorado came crawling back to the Big 12 with their tail between their legs. It’s quite ironic for an institution that gave the most condescending press conference I’ve ever heard in 2010 when they left the Big 12 for the Pac 12. But I digress. This is an intriguing football game. There is future NFL…
