December 5, 2022 Joe Mathieu Comments 0 Comment

The Kansas State Wildcats won their third Big 12 football championship Saturday, beating the TCU Horned Frogs 31 to 28 in an overtime thriller. It was K-State’s first conference championship since 2012 and their first Big 12 championship game win since 2003. I made the trip to Arlington with two of my kids and some friends of theirs. We had a spectacular time. K-Staters showed up en masse like they always do. The party started at College Gameday in the…

Chris Klieman’s Wildcats earned a spot in the Big 12 championship game by winning their final game of the regular season against the Kansas Jayhawks. I predicted a 9-3 record for K-State before the season and that is how they finished. The only discrepancy is that I had them beating Tulane and TCU and losing to Oklahoma State and Baylor.

K-State basketball remains undefeated on the season at 6-0 after winning the Cayman Islands Classic tournament this week. The Wildcats beat Rhode Island, Nevada, and LSU on its way to winning the tournament championship. I am not sure how many people were able to watch, as it was broadcast on a streaming service called Flovoice that costs thirty dollars a month to subscribe. Luckily, I was able to find a stream to watch the last game of the tournament against…

I Am Thankful…

There is never a lack of storylines to write about during Sunflower Showdown week. The biggest storyline in the game is that if K-State wins, they will play TCU in the Big 12 Championship game. Win, and they’re in, as they say. For that alone, the stakes could not be higher. As I drove around Kansas City at work today, I found myself in a bad part of town. Trying to take a shortcut from Westport to a destination east…
