...the Lynch Mob will return.
(I find this video especially appropriate as it's roughly the same schedule we will play this year. Move the Iowa State game to Arrowhead Stadium and substitute UCLA for USC, and it's damn near identical. Here's hoping 10-2 is in the offing this year, as well.)
Bill Snyder Radio Show Debuts Thursday
The Bill Snyder Radio Show will make its 2010 debut on Thursday as Saturday's season opener against UCLA draws nearer.
The show, hosted by the Voice of the Wildcats Wyatt Thompson, will air live from 7 to 8 p.m. each week across the 36-station K-State Sports Network.
Wildcats Rally After Slow Start
A day after Kansas State Athletics announced new seating and other upgrades to Ahearn Field House, more than 1,800 fans showed up to cheer the Wildcat volleyball team to victory in its home opener Wednesday night.
The Wildcats bested South Dakota 3-1 (22-25, 25-19, 25-18, 25-19) with another shinning performance by freshman middle blocker Kaitlynn Pelger.

If you missed it last night, check out my appearance on Bruins Nation's podcast last night. Good discussion of the Wildcats this season with the guys over there.
Football
Bill Snyder says they won't count carries with Daniel Thomas, but that doesn't mean they don't want to take pressure off him with the passing game. Good to know.
Also, Daniel Thomas is the workhorse of this team, but Bill Snyder would like to take the pressure off him with the passing game. Good to know.
Other
For those of you skeptical of BYU's ability to make it as an independent, word came out yesterday that they have received an eight-year contract with ESPN for its home games. Two things I didn't mention yesterday when discussing this issue as it pertains to Texas. First, Texas has a snag as far as where its non-revenue sports would play. It would be impossible to schedule a full season for those programs without a conference, and I kind of doubt the Big 12, SEC, or any other major conference is going to take on UT's non-football sports without, you know, football. I also don't think UT's going to relegate its other programs to Conference USA or the Mountain West. Second, UT has a lot of hangers-on within its own state, as we found out this summer during conference realignment. It's still an open question whether UT can really do anything it wants to do.
And remember: football returns tonight. We have been delivered from the desert of the offeseason.
POSITION PREVIEW: Defensive Ends

The return of Brandon Harold is the most pressing question mark at defensive end, but he'll be aided by players such as Antonio Felder.
The story of K-State's defensive ends in 2010 can be summed up with a simple variation on a familiar cliche:
The bad news is that Jeffrey Fitzgerald is gone.
The good news is that Brandon Harold is back.
Remember, Harold and Fitzgerald were supposed to bookend a defensive line last year that would have been potent.
But the same knee injur(y/ies) that sidelined Harold and cost him his (first) sophomore season also forced Fitzgerald to shoulder the pass-rushing burden alone — even starting several games at defensive tackle until the emergence of Raphael Guidry.
Now Fitzgerald is gone and Harold must return to his freshman-season form (10.5 TFL and 3 sacks), shake off more than a season of rust and step in to fill the void. Whether he can do so successfully will be the second-most important story of K-State's season. (The most important, of course, being the quarterbacks, who I will profile tomorrow.)
But Harold won't have to do it alone. Click the jump to meet the group of hybrid linebacker/end pass rushers, called "bandits," that will assist him in obvious passing situations.

Late notice, but I will be on Bruins Nation's live podcast at about 8:10 p.m. CDT. Hit the link to tune in.
