It’s been quite a week for K-State football fans, huh? I first learned something was up when a buddy texted me at 5:30 AM on Wednesday, saying he was hearing rumors. I asked for details and who the source was, and it was someone “in the know” who was hearing that Chris Klieman was retiring and that Collin Klein was coming back to Manhattan to be the next head coach of the Wildcats.

K-State beat Colorado 24-14 on Saturday on a cold, snowy, rainy, and windy day at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.

I made the incorrect prediction a few weeks back that K-State…

If you have paid attention to K-State football this season, you’re well aware that there is something “off” about the team. There are many reasons for the disappointing 5-5 record thus far, but I’m more concerned with how they will fix it moving forward. Offensive coordinator Matt Wells has faced criticism, as has head coach Chris Klieman, but defensive coordinator Joe Klanderman appears immune to criticism from fans and the media. Neither the offense nor the defense passes the eye…

K-State eked out a victory over Oklahoma State on Saturday by a score of 14-6. K-State was a heavy favorite coming into the game, as most betting services had them as 19 or 20-point favorites. Oklahoma State was 1-8 overall and had lost all six of its conference games by lopsided scores. The closest conference game they had was a 17-point loss to Kansas. They lost by 42 to Texas Tech, 32 to Cincinnati, 22 to Houston, 28 to Arizona,…
