I saw three different independent Big 12 football rankings today that had Kansas State at or near the top of their lists. Pete Mundo of Heartland College Sports has K-State ranked number one in his weekly power rankings. Berry Tramel of The Oklahoman also had K-State ranked number one in his Big 12 football rankings.

It sounds like Skylar Thompson is week-to-week and Will Howard and Jaren Lewis aren’t as far apart as we thought. Here’s what they said… “He is going to be out this week, then we’ll reevaluate it based on how he’s feeling as well as based on what the docs say. “…Chris Klieman on…

It was a great Saturday for football in Manhattan. Even though the weather was hot and a bit muggy, K-State fans were back to tailgating five hours before kickoff and packing Bill Snyder Family Stadium like it was in the days before any of us knew about Covid19. With K-State leading 7-0, fans were giddy when Skylar Thompson completed a 50-yard pass to Malik Knowles to give the Wildcats a first and ten on the Southern Illinois 12 yard line….
