It is hard to believe Thanksgiving is already here again. It has been a pretty good year to be a K-State sports fan. There is plenty to be grateful for, so I thought I would jot down what I am thankful for as a K-State fan. I am thankful that K-State beat Kansas in football for the 15th time in a row on Saturday. That makes it 27 wins and four losses for K-State in the last 31 games against…
It wasn’t 64 to nothing, but it was 15 in a row, as K-State beat Kansas 31 to 27 last night in Lawrence. A back-and-forth affair with five lead changes in total, the game was mostly frustrating to watch from the perspective of a K-State fan. KU was playing with third-string quarterback Cole Ballard, but that didn’t seem to matter as Kansas had the K-State defense on its heels for most of the first half, building a 20 to 16…
Quarterback Will Howard broke the K-State career record for touchdown passes in the Wildcats’ 59-25 victory over the Baylor Bears on Saturday.

Another home game and another blowout as K-State beat the Baylor Bears on Saturday by a score of 59 to 25. With the victory, K-State remains undefeated at home in 2023. The Wildcats have averaged 45 points per game in the six victories at Bill Snyder Family Stadium and have given up an average of 12 points per game. The closest game of the six was the 13-point victory against UCF on September 23rd. This game was never really close….
There are a lot of adjectives to describe K-State’s 33-30 overtime loss to Texas on Saturday. Frustrating, aggravating, maddening, painful, exasperating, stressful, infuriating, questionable, debatable, exciting, thrilling, and electrifying. I’m going to go with how I felt when the game ended. Dumbstruck. Chris Klieman’s decision to go for the win in overtime on 4th down rather than kicking a chip shot field goal to tie the game and extend the game into a second overtime will go down as one…
