It has been quite the offseason for K-State sports. Football recruiting has created a buzz among the fan base like I cannot remember, new head coach Jerome Tang is rebuilding the K-State basketball team, and conference realignment is rearing its ugly head again. Rather than focus on one topic this week, I thought I would try to hit on everything relevant to K-State sports at the present moment in time. There used to be a sports talk show host in…
