Considering that this offseason has made as much sense as this picture, I thought this would be appropriate.
I mean, we declared ourselves free of the tyranny of the English crown on Independence Day, so there's some symbolism in the guy waving a flag attached to a 2x4 while wearing a crown. I think.
Happy 4th of July. Try not to blow your fingers off or die in a freak pontoon boating accident.

Curtis Kitchen, Sports Radio 810 WHB's blogger and K-State repoter, interviewed Bill Snyder a couple of weeks ago regarding the recent Big 12 Offensive explosion.
Kitchen was kind enough to give us the audio from that interview. Listen to both parts after the jump!

Facility Improvements Officially on Hold
Not that any of this is a big surprise to most of us at BOTC. Currie and Schulz have a hell of a hill to climb.

Fellow BOTCers --
This summer has been more eventful than we would like. While summers should be devoted to overanalyzing the upcoming football season and discussing topics that otherwise wouldn't get coverage during the busier times, this summer we have been forced to deal with the aftermath of numerous mistakes made by our outgoing administration and, of course, The Audit. That should change in the near term, as Panjandrum will begin position analysis later this summer and, by August, we will start previewing K-State's opponents for this fall.
However, come what may in the next month, I will not be around. Today marks exactly one month until what will be one of the greatest days of my life: the day the Missouri bar exam ends. To get to that great day successfully, I'm going to have to stop doing pretty much everything I enjoy -- blogging, playing golf, sleeping regularly -- and thus I leave you to Panjandrum, EMAW and BracketCat. Also, y'all have done a great job of posting news stories and other items of interest in the FanPosts and FanShots, so keep that up and we'll bump them to the front page as often as possible. I'll be around to comment occasionally, but you won't get any more commentary from me for a while, no matter how much I'd like to slam the Representatives from Texas for this.
Also, for the love of God, don't let 2007 KU win this poll. Any of those K-State teams listed would beat KU by 20.
See you in a month. Well, a month plus the hangover.

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, and Athletic Director, John Currie, stand in front of several hundred K-Staters after the nefarious "audit" had been released. Of course, it's much easier to drum up support and instill pep when you bring Bill Snyder, Frank Martin, and Deb Patterson along for the ride.

As for Freddy Asprilla, if FIU athletic director Pete Garcia continues to refuse to grant Asprilla his release, then Asprilla will appeal his case to a university committee. Should he lose that appeal, Asprilla insists he won't return to FIU. "I'm definitely transferring," he said. "I came to FIU because of coach Ruoco. Now that he got fired, I don't see the point of staying there."
Seth Davis has a nice article on the Freddy Asprilla situation.
