From The Couch – Bruceketball Suffers 31-Point Loss To Baylor/Skylar Thompson Returning For The 2021 Football Season

  “A week ago Tuesday, it was not a very good day. They came together. I told Wyatt (Thompson) and the radio people on the pregame (show) that if going through the loss last week brings our team together, I’ll take all the criticism. I’ll take all the gruff. It doesn’t matter. I think it brought those guys together.”…Bruce Weber, Iowa State post-game, December 15 JM:  K-State beat Iowa State in Ames 75-64 on Tuesday.  It was an ugly game. …

I knew the season was not going to be easy. Obviously, I didn’t think…

What’s Next For K-State Football

The Kansas State Wildcats were embarrassed by the Texas Longhorns in their regular-season finale on Saturday, losing 69-31 and falling to 4-6 on the season.  It seems like ages ago when K-State was 4-1 and tied for first place in the Big 12.  The wheels fell off during a 37-10 blowout loss to West Virginia on Halloween, which was the first of three blowout losses K-State suffered this season.  The others: a 45-0 loss to Iowa State in Ames and…

From The Couch – K-State Basketball’s Embarrassing Start

  K-State basketball has started the season 1-3, their lone win a four point victory over perennial loser Kansas City.  They’ve lost their three games by an average of 13 points.  This season could end up being historically bad for the basketball Wildcats.  It hasn’t been pretty, but let’s review what has happened so far this season…. “I knew it was going to be a difficult game for us. They’re a veteran team.”…Bruce Weber, Drake post-game, November 25th JM:  Weber…
