We crammed so much into our Memphis trip that I’m going to have to split up day two into two separate blog posts. The K-State/Navy Liberty Bowl game started around 2:40 on New Year’s Eve. We got up that morning and ate breakfast at the hotel and took our time getting ready to go to the stadium. We had some beer and snacks so we decided to go tailgate at the stadium. I asked a couple barbecue experts which barbecue…
My Mom and Dad and I took a short trip to Memphis last week for the Liberty Bowl where K-State played Navy. We left on Monday, December 30th after I worked in the morning. The drive is about seven hours and 15 minutes from us if you don’t stop. With a couple stops it ends up being about seven and a half hours. We took a route through Springfield, Missouri and Jonesboro, Arkansas, which is pretty hilly and curvy in…

It was a second straight disappointing loss for K-State Football on Saturday, losing 24-20 to West Virginia in a game they could have won at the end if not for a Skylar Thompson interception. My Dad and I were talking a few weeks ago that it seems that offensive coordinator Courtney Messingham and Chris Klieman are pretty stubborn about running the ball right up the middle on first down for little to no gain. Watching the game again on Sunday…
Tough loss Saturday at Texas. K-State really needed to win that game and needed Baylor to lose to TCU. Oklahoma losing to Iowa State would have been nice as well. K-State is basically tied with Iowa State in the standings and the last game of the season will likely be the tiebreaker between the two teams. There’s still a shot for K-State to make the championship game, but some things need to fall in line now as K-State no longer…
