Joe On K-State Sports

Chris Klieman couldn’t get out of his post-game press conference fast enough after K-State’s 29-21 loss to Iowa State on Saturday night. I watched the presser after the game. Klieman was irritated at the media and fans for being critical of him, his coaching staff, and his players. His message to the players post-game was to “play the bowl game.” My take from what he said is that he expects many of his players to leave via the transfer portal…

So you’re telling me there’s a chance? That’s right. K-State has an opportunity to make the Big 12 championship game if they beat Iowa State on Saturday night, but a LOT of other things have to fall their way for them to be one of the two teams selected.

K-State’s playoff and Big 12 championship hopes are dead after a dreadful 24-14 loss to Arizona State on Saturday night in front of a sold-out crowd at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The offense was miserable, the defense was pitiful, special teams were wretched, coaching decisions, especially offensive play-calls, were dismal, and even the public address announcer misidentified players on the field. Other than that, it was a great evening at The Bill! I haven’t been that angry walking out of…
