Bill Snyder, stand-up comic.
Kevin Haskin brings his musings for the week, including the odd twists and turns that were K-State's and KU's games against FCS opponents.
Some of us, Panjandrum in particular, have been critical of Chris Cosh's conservative approach to defense. Paul Rhoads has noticed.
Yeah, Daniel Thomas is pretty good at totin' the rock.

Sending a girl a text message that says "Time to die" is probably not a good idea. Unless you were wanting to go to dinner and meant to type "Time to dine" and just missed the "n." Unfortunately for Chris Rainey, his prior conduct indicates that wasn't the case.
Reggie Bush is giving up his Heisman Trophy. I wonder if Jason White will ever give Darren Sproles the one he deserved.

Jason White - exhibit A for why the Heisman sucks
I swear, monkeys must vote for the Heisman. Eric Crouch, Jason White, Toretta back in the day, not one of them was actually the ‘most outstanding player’ and Suh should have won in a walk last year. Boo on the Heisman!

and nice Gino Toretta call-out there!

I guess we'll see how the D does against a solid, balanced team
Iowa (and I think Ohio State) does fine with the conservative D, but that hasn’t been KSU’s MO. The great KSU defenses always attacked and scared the opposing offenses. KSU certainly doesn’t have the talent on D that the 2002 or 1999 squads did, so I guess I will have to trust Cosh (and Snyder) to get them ready. Here’s hoping what should have been the strongest part of the team (the safeties) quit embarrassing themselves this week.

Off topic, but important
I’m too old to figure out right now how to do a FanPost, so I’m posting here. A special former K-State basketball player passed away the other day.
Here’s a link to his obituary:
http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/omaha/obituary.aspx?n=robert-g-zender&pid=145353496
Bob Zender was just a great guy and a really good player. He played in Europe a few seasons after his K-State days. He wore those black, horn-rimmed type glasses (similar to the ones Kurt Rambis for the Lakers wore).
I was in high school in Manhattan when he was playing for the Cats. This is making me feel old, when my child-hood idols start passing away.
Maybe someone can do a fan post. I can’t right now.
oh hail the Purple and White
correction
It was Steve Mitchell, a center on some of the same teams Zender was on, who played in Europe in the early 1970s. Nonetheless, Zender was a fine “big” forward who had a soft, feathery touch from the 12 to 17 foot range.
oh hail the Purple and White
Thanks for posting Furnace.

Tech guy here
Just wanted to wish y’all luck in Farmageddon. Really enjoyed watching the UCLA game and enjoy reading your blog over here.

Hey Tech fan – what do you think of this -
When we go to the round-robin schedule, some teams will have 4 hm games a yr, others 5. I’ve seen some talk that each school should have to play one neutral site game a year (at the pro venues). I think this would be a neat break down:
OU – Tx
KU-M.U.
KSU – TxTech (rotate Jerry world and Arrowhead)
O-State – Tx A&M (JerryWorld)
Baylor -Ia. State (rotate Jerry world and Arrowhead)
I think the only one’s who would complain might be Baylor – Ia. State.
I’d love to see us try to "create" a rivalry with Tx. Tech.
If they can "create" a rivalry between Nebraska and Penn St., why can’t we do that here.
oh hail the Purple and White
I like your idea of having everyone have a neutral site game - and NFL stadiums could like it too.
It would balance out the home/away scheduling issues where some teams could bitch and complain that Team “KU” had an easier schedule this year…
I’m not sure the conference could get away with having most of the games at Jerryworld. They do play their own football there you know. Reliant Stadium in Houston could see some action. Along with KC, those are really the only viable stadiums to do these in.The remaining North schools are all centered (ish) around Kansas City, while the Oklahoma schools are in Oklahoma…
I don’t think you’d see the A&M-Okie State series. I’d figure they’d keep the Texas schools somewhat together. I could see Tech-A&M at Jerryworld because of the large alumni bases in the DFW area.
In keeping the “long 14 year North/South” rivalries, I think we’d still play Iowa State in KC and Okie State would just be the leftover and have to play Baylor.

You are probably correct
I could live with our “rival” being Ia.State, (and not meaning to sound disrespectful) heck it might turn into something really good.
I think Snyder won’t like this idea, because he’s going to try to use the year we play 5 conference games at home as the year he plays a quality non-con game on the road. That way, he will have 7 home games a year.
oh hail the Purple and White
I didn't say it was going to happen, but that I liked the idea :)
If Synder has any say in this, he’d prefer the extra home game no doubt.
