  Chris Klieman, Skylar Thompson, and Jahron McPherson participated in Big 12 media days on Wednesday.  I listened to all of the interviews and here are the quotes I found most notable. “We’ve had a really good spring and exceptional summer. We have a new strength and conditioning staff led by Tru Carroll who has an unbelievable impact on our football team and our football players and helped enhance the already good culture at Kansas State to another level. “…Chris…

Full disclosure:  David Allen is one of my favorite Kansas State football players.  I own way too many K-State football jerseys, but the first one I bought was number 32 because of David Allen.  He was added to the K-State football ring of honor in 2008.   Writing this article was a lot of fun, especially watching the video of all of his touchdown returns.  To this day, he remains near the top of the college football’s all-time punt return touchdown…

I’m a huge K-State sports fan, but if you’re around my age (48) anything K-State football-related pre-1989 is kind of “fuzzy.”  To be honest, the first time I ever heard of Veryl Switzer was when I bought a version of the NCAA football video game in my younger days.  They had an “All-time Kansas State team” and Veryl Switzer was the running back.  Switzer was voted to the Kansas State football ring of honor as a member of the inaugural…

Summertime is usually a quiet time for K-State sports, but there were quite a few K-Staters in the news last week.  Instead of choosing just one to write about, here is a quick-hitter on each! The 2012 Wildcat football team Chris Harper made waves on Twitter last week when he said that he thinks the 2012 Wildcat football team would have won the national title had K-State beaten Baylor in the second to last regular-season game of that season.  I…
