Big 12 Balkanization: Where Do We Go From Here?
The bell doth toll for the Big 12, a fractured, dysfunctional conference that probably outlived its valid life span three years ago. Assuming that's the case, where does K-State land in the new world order? Based on the following assumptions, I present my analysis after the jump. Assumption 1:...
ROUNDTABLE: Post-Farmageddon Edition
For the second time in two years — and only the second time in 10 years — K-State started Big 12 play 1-0 after yet another Farmageddon win in Kansas City against Iowa State. Attendance at the game left something to be desired, and that's putting it lightly, but the BOTC crew was there...
Everybody Loves Frank
Well, I didn't want to do this, but I have no choice at this point... I have to talk about Frank's contract. If you're a casual fan that drops by to see what's going on with Kansas State athletics, you may not have heard about the ruckus that began Tuesday when a message board post on ksufans.com...
A Random Q&A About Kansas State Determines I Don't Miss The Hate THAT Much!
If you're looking for information on the Kansas State Wildcats, go no further than the site Bring on the Cats where TB is in charge. Mike came up with some reasonable football questions for him, while I asked him more existential questions about the state of things at Kansas State. Mike: When did...
KNOW THYSELF: Kansas State Wildcats
Always save the best for last, I say. Why am I profiling our own team? Well, you never know when new readers might stumble across the site, and on the off-chance they've been hibernating and are unaware of the freight train that's slowly bearing down on the Big 12, I figured I might as well wrap...
A Letter From John Currie
I received this letter today, and since it was a mass mailing that other K-Staters have received, we may as well share it here. If someone's got a problem with that...well, just tell me. However, I think this is good information for all K-Staters to have. July 10, 2009 Dear K-State Alumni and...
A Blogger, A Barbecue, and An Existential Dilemma
Thursday night, TB and I took a mini-road trip to Topeka to attend the Kaw Valley Catbackers 27th Annual Family Barbecue with my father. While neither TB or myself are Catbackers (nor is my father for that matter), we couldn't miss an opportunity to see the new University President, Kirk Schulz,...
Your Mission, Mr. Currie, Should You Choose to Accept It
Last week, TB sent me a link to an article about former KU Athletic Director, Bob Fredrick. In this article, Bill Mayer of the Lawrence Journal World talks about the class, dignity, and integrity that Fredrick displayed, and how his warm, gentle nature ultimately cost him his job as KU sought a...
K-State's Athletic Department Priorities
Yesterday's FanShot from MadCat was a good illustration of the utter arrogance Nebraska fans can display. It also demonstrated the pointlessness of their thinking on the issue discussed, as I'm not really sure why they would be worried about their athletic department feeling sorry for schools like...
Open Thread: Meet John Currie
According to everything I've read, John Currie will have his introductory press conference at 10:30 AM CST. You can find the free Passpot link here. Feel free to comment on what you hear. Obviously, it's too early to say anything definitive about him, but it's not bad to discuss first...
