K-State Slate: 10.28.10

Cowboys Ride for Free has their breakdown of the K-State/Oklahoma State matchup.
The breakdown doesn't include Justin Blackmon, who is suspended for the game after being arrested on suspicion of DUI outside Dallas early Tuesday morning.
Congrats to K-State student athletes for leading the Big 12 in graduation rate for the fourth consecutive year.
Wally Judge is ready to go after offseason spinal surgery.
(excuse me while I get my soapbox out...)
A Notre Dame student assistant was killed when the tower from which he was videotaping practice "collapsed" (looks more like it was blown over by the 50+ mph winds). The student made posts to his Facebook page about the wind, including a disturbing one about how he had lived long enough. After the tower collapse, the football team continued to practice for another 20 or 30 minutes. You know, no big deal, just a tower taller than a goalpost blowing over with people on top of it. How could that possibly result in tragedy?
Nebraska backup linebacker Eric Martin is suspended for this weekend's game against Missouri after a vicious helmet-to-helmet block in the Oklahoma State game (hit found after 1:30 in the video). I don't know the status of the OSU player who was hit, but he had to be helped off the field. To Nebraska fans, this is no doubt the next sign that there are evil conspiratorial forces in the world, ala the fake Holocaust, fabricated moon landing, the inside forces who carried out the 9/11 attacks, and those Big 12 refs they got for the Texas game. Never mind that Martin led with the crown of his helmet right to the OSU player's facemask, football is a contact sport, as the guy who posted the video reminds you. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy is probably something a bunch of Nebraska-hating doctors dreamed up, too, just to stick it to Pelini's boys.

In regards to minor vs major surgery
I have 13 screws in my ankle. However, that is my ankle, not my SPINE.
So, I would guess they call is a minor surgery because of the number of screws, but I would call it a major one because of the importance of the body part.

On another note
I’m kind of worried about the quality of those screws. The surgery was performed at KU Medical Center? My guess is they give out sometime right before the KU game.

I'm not sure wood screws will last that long unless they're galvanized.

We’re 38th in the nation in pass defense? It sure doesn’t feel like it.

We used to be in the Top 20...and then G3 lit us up.

That's why the way they do rankings aren't worth crap.
They should do some combination of total yards and yards per attempt, or simply do it by yards per attempt, since total yards can be so deceptive. Our run defense has been so horrible that no one NEEDED to pass against us (see: Cornhuskers, Nebraska), making our total yardage, pass-wise, much lower.

our D is kind of like the game "Whack a mole"
knock out one problem and another appears. If we focus on the run, we get burnt deep. If we play break don’t die D teams run all over us. We just don’t have the raw talent and speed to get to the ball. Teams will run first usually, if that works, game over. If they can pass also like OSU, we be screwed. We need tons of special teams and a +2 turnover margin to win this.
Bitchslapping Texas since 1997
The real "mole" is Chris Cosh, though.
I think if that “mole” were whacked, we’d get appreciably better, and quite quickly.

from the Hutch News:
ADC could probably raise more funds by selling tickets to practices … I’d go 8-)

schadenfreude
two of my coworkers were lamenting how unfairly the Big 12 treats UNL and trying not to laugh, I left the area. I think the suspension was the starting point but then the complaint went to the UT v UNL officials and even the moving of the big 12 offices.

I would comment on the Eric Martin suspension...
but i’m too busy laughing my ass off at the NUB reaction. It was so predictable yet so amazing. Then to read the “article” by Samuel Mckewon of the Nebraska State Paper. It’s like icing on the cake. I may never stop laughing.
I just read that as well.
Simply astounding. I’m not even sure why Nebraska is so mad at the Big XII and Beebe, I mean, didn’t they leave us? So shouldn’t they be all nonchalant about it?
Instead, we see them becoming hyper-aggressive and doing everything they can to belittle everyone else. Makes it look like we broke up with them.
Forward into Battle

The revenue sharing complaint is a hoot
seeing as how NU voted for that when the conference was formed. The subtext of their anger toward Beebee is “where was all this money you are talking about before we decided to leave.” Maybe they can’t divide in Nebraska (ten way split better than a 12 way split.
I’ll simply be so glad when they are gone. And since we are pretty much out of the North picture, I hope MU stomps them.
oh hail the Purple and White
Wow.
I think one of McKewon’s minions said that he is, “the greatest writer in the world in the midwest” or something like that. Funny stuff, WW, funny stuff. I wonder if the Nub fans realize that everyone — and I mean EVERYONE (even KU fans) — are laughing at them?
