Football
For some reason I thought this was a foregone conclusion, but apparently it's still up in the air whether Taylor Potts will start this Saturday for Texas Tech. Either way, the defense is still going to have to bring it, because backup Steven Sheffield threw three TD passes last week in relief duty. Potts suffered a concussion last week, which makes me think it's highly unlikely he'll play.
On our own injury front, speculation abounds about when DE Brandon Harold may return to the lineup. Given that he's back at practice, some believe it could happen this weekend. Snyder's playing it coy, which I'm sure you're all surprised to hear.
Kevin Haskin is back with his weekly mid-week musings. Gotta love this quote from Bill Snyder:
Best line from Snyder's press conference Tuesday concerned the Tech crowd. "People are going to talk about your mother down there," he said.
Basketball
Both the men's and women's basketball teams will have open practices soon. I may have to go check those out while I'm in town for the next couple football games.
Sounds like more good news on the B-Easy front. And you have to love this quote from Frank Martin:
"As soon as he made his decision (to seek treatment), Dalonte (Hill, Martin's assistant coach and a longtime Beasley mentor) got in a plane and flew down to spend a week with him. Mike told him, 'Bring some K-State gear. I want to be happy again,' and we did."
Remember, if you're in the Kansas City area, that you'll have a chance to see B-Easy play one week from today at Sprint Center. I'll be there in my No. 30 jersey.
Volleyball
The team's struggles continued as they were swept by Texas A&M in College Station. Also, the match with Texas Tech, which had been postponed due to flu issues at Tech, has been rescheduled for November 8.
Around the Big 12
Standout Oklahoma State receiver Dez Bryant has been suspended by the NCAA. Sounds like it may be a bit of a misunderstanding, so maybe the NCAA will reinstate him. Ohhhh, wait, for a second I thought I was talking about an organization that did things that make sense. Nevermind.
Don't forget that the weekend's Big 12 action kicks off tonight with Missouri vs. Nebraska.
Also, drop by Double T Nation for the best coverage of Texas Tech around. Please don't come back here afterward and ask me why I don't pump out as many long, informative posts as Seth C does. Nobody really knows how he does it. I would say he's a machine, but I've met him in person before.
Up at Corn Nation, JLew's Cob of the Week goes to Farmageddon. Yep, you can direct all correspondence to Bob Krause, at 717 Glad I'm Not You Drive, Nowhere, KS 66602.
The Fourum
I've just officially seen the first Eski-ho of the year. Let the watch parties begin.
To the person who called about K-State being lucky the other day: Being lucky is better than being a cheater any day.
It's funny when people run with backpacks on.
To the cute girls walking the cute dogs: You can continue walking in front of my house.
To the Asian boy at the stoplight today jamming out to Taylor Swift: You made my day.

That's an odd story about Dez Bryant
Not really sure why he lied about it in the first place, but rules are rules. You lied, now except your penalty.
I truely believe that if wasn’t doing anything wrong, he wouldn’t have lied about it.

Many thanks, but a
ton of credit goes to my wife who allows me to ignore her during football season.
Also, there’s no way in hell that Potts plays on Saturday. He wasn’t at practice yesterday, it’s going to be Sheffield, all 6’4" and 181 pounds of him.
Go Raiders . . .

Holy crap - 181 pounds?
And to think I thought I was too skinny to play college football…..

lol
Yea the team nicknamed him “Sticks”.
If you not having fun....then your not playing the game right.
OK, it's official
I think next year TB and I are going to try and walk on at K-State. If Sheffield can be a Big 12 QB, so can I! If Brandon Banks can be a Big 12 WR, so can TB!

I would bet on the spread..
Last I saw they were a 16 point favorite, but without Potts and if we have Harold back.that sounds nice to me. I predict a close one. They really haven’t proven they are great this year and with all the injuries we can do it. Remember Chris Simms and Major Applewhite? Can you say blitz?
Wildcat for life
I can say blitz
but I don’t know if it’s in Vic abd Cosh’s vocabulary. We’ve been downright awful in getting to the quarterback this year and considering how our secondary has been playing this year, I don’t see the dynamic dup changing up the game plan.
But if Harold does come back that will be a huge step. If our D-Line can finally get some pressure, we could make a game of this. That’s my big X factor for this game.

Re: Farmageddon
The other day on my way to work, the fools on 610’s morning show were beside themselves how awesome it was for that matchup to be in Arrowhead. If you needed ANY more indication how horrible Roger Twibell is at radio, that segment was it. Him and Klingler (who is a good guy in my personal opinion) kept saying how it was just a great game with a great atmosphere and a good crowd….I’m guessing neither one have actually talked to any ISU or KSU fans regarding the situation.
Not sure why I’m ranting, but it made me yell at the radio in my car on the way to work….

EMAW does not intend to alienate those of the female gender. For those who are offended, you may refer to me as EHAW (Every Human A Wildcat). Our faithful four-legged friends may feel comfortable with EPAW (Every Pet A Wildcat). However, we thus arrive at a paradox.
Great game...yes.
Great atmosphere…meh.
Hail to the Purple, Hail to the White
Wildcat in spirit, Wildcat in fight
Hail Alma Mater from sea to sea
Onward forever, Hail Victory!
