I hate the transfer portal. College football free agency is lessening my enjoyment of the sport. But dwelling on it and getting my blood pressure up about it isn’t going to help at all. The transfer portal is here to stay, and all the coaches and fans can do is embrace it and try to make the best of it. Chris Klieman has mostly done a good job of navigating the transfer portal every year he has coached at K-State,…
A lot of positive K-State news this week that was overshadowed by the Nae’Qwan Tomlin situation and offensive coordinator Collin Klein leaving to coach at Texas A&M. I’ll get into all of it, but first the latest on Tomlin. Tomlin graduated yesterday, but unfortunately he will no longer play for the K-State basketball team. Tomlin was dismissed from the team on Wednesday with a statement released from athletic director Gene Taylor… JM: Unfortunately, this statement just muddied the waters even…

There were even “Free Nae’Qwan” rallies held outside Linton’s residence on…

The Wildcats had THREE quarterbacks enter the transfer portal…Will Howard, Jake Rubley, and Adryan Lara. The Wildcats are giving away quarterbacks as Oprah gives away cars. Honestly, I think all three saw the handwriting on the wall that Johnson will be K-State’s starting quarterback in 2024…
The Iowa State Cyclones came into Manhattan and beat K-State 42-35 on a cold, snowy night on Senior Day, likely quarterback Will Howard’s last home game as a Wildcat. K-State’s defense was not good in this one, giving up 488 yards and too many big plays to count. Every Iowa State touchdown came on plays of 33 yards or longer. I’ve never seen anything like it.
