The 18th installment of “Profiles in K-State Fandom” features Tracey Faulkner. Tracey and I met through a mutual friend of ours, Scott Thomas, who unfortunately, died of lung cancer a few years ago. I went to school with Scott and Scott met Tracey via one of the K-State message boards.

Tyler and I follow each other on X, but have yet to meet in person. Tyler represents the exact type of person I’m looking for when doing these profiles. I’m sure you’ll…
