Joe On K-State Sports

I am not a fan of the Colorado Buffaloes. Never have been. Their fans have always been arrogant and condescending.

It was a huge victory in the race for the Big 12 championship, as league front-runner Utah lost to Arizona Saturday night. The Big 12 race has gotten much more complicated than I once thought, and K-State still has…

K-State football travels to Provo, Utah for a game against BYU on Saturday night. Both teams open conference play with 3-0 records in the non-conference portion of their schedules. BYU beat Southern Illinois, SMU, and Wyoming, and K-State beat UT Martin, Tulane, and Arizona. This game is intriguing for a lot of reasons. Will the altitude affect K-State’s players? Will the late evening start be an advantage for BYU? Is BYU for real or is their undefeated record schedule-driven? We…
