K-State Football
A second-half comeback led to a 41-34 win over Texas Tech, giving K-State six wins on the year, which means the Wildcats will be bowling for the second straight season.
A big part of the win was Raphael Guidry unleashing his version of Beast Mode and blocking two field goal attempts against the Red Raiders.
In a lot of ways, it wasn't a conventional K-State win, but it was a win nonetheless.
K-State debuted at No. 11 in the initial BCS rankings, while the Wildcats are now No. 12 in the AP Poll and No. 16 in the Coaches' Poll (by the way, I see what you did there, Austin. I see what you did there and I like it).
K-State Volleyball
Texas swept the K-State volleyball team on Saturday at Ahearn Fieldhouse, 25-17, 25-15, 25-20. So I guess Gregory Gymnasium is the only part of Texas that we don't own.
Conference Realignment
After Missouri announced that chancellor Brady Deaton was authorized to explore conference realignment for MU, the Birmingham News' Jon Solomon reported that Mizzou didn't have the three-quarters vote necessary to gain entrance to the SEC. Solomon reported at the time that one of the schools opposing Mizzou's move was league heavyweight Alabama. Over the weekend, Solomon reported that Alabama would support Missouri's move only if the Tigers were to play in the SEC East. Have fun playing division games in Gainesville, Fla., Columbia, S.C., and Athens, Ga., Mizzou.

It's a Mangino reference. Very subtle.

After Texas won because of a pass interference call...
I wasn’t sure this is what Austin was doing, but I like it regardless. Or irregardless. Inconceivable!
screw this, I should be sleeping anyway.
It was when they played Texas
They lost the game and Mangino ranted afterward that the only reason the refs made that call was to insure the Longhorns make it into a BCS bowl.
Said something along the lines of, “I’ll tel you why they made that call. Three letters: B.C.S.”
Something like that. Memory vague and don’t feel like looking it up.

Mangino is a horrible person, but he was right
"If you don't want to work, become a reporter. That awful power, the public opinion of the nation, was created by a horde of self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditch digging and shoemaking and fetched up journalism on their way to the poorhouse." - Mark Twain
He did help us win in Miami
So I have a hard time calling him a horrible person. But I’m not one to ever hold a grudge.

Yeah, I think I recall the play.

I would like to amend your statement about K-State Volleyball
So I guess Gregory Gymnasium is the only part of Texas that we don’t own.
Yet.

Let's face it though
I think the Texas volleyball team is actually better at what they do than the football team or the basketball team. They are always good (kinda like the Nebraska volleyball team).
We have trouble with them in Ahearn as well.

But here is a Jon Solomon article talking about how Alabama would support adding Missouri in the East from yesterday.

Okay, so Bama is okay with Mizzou in the East...
But is the East okay with Mizzou in it?
Should Missouri stay in the big 12 and we add Louisville and WVU, they’d be centrally located in the North. The farthest trip would be WVU at 660 some miles. The rest of them would be pretty manageable.

Oh I agree
Missouri is stupid if they decide to go to the SEC.
Their substantive demands have been met. The conference is stabilizing and would be rock solid if Mizzou recommits.
But of course, Texas won’t agree to more than a 6 year grant of rights because they must be trying to actively keep Mizzou out of a major conference for some reason. /sarcasm
Would you like some Freys with that?
by ChrisP Wildcat on Oct 17, 2011 9:16 AM CDT up reply actions
What I keep hearing Mizzou people say is that they got what they wanted except a longer term grant of rights...
Like their LHN stuff was resolved, but they wanted ten years or something like that, and Texas said six.
I mean, look, it’s like what my wife says about trying to discipline my 18 month old son: Choose your battles. Can I sit there and be completely insistent that he not roll his high chair all around the kitchen? Sure. Is it better than him trying to destroy the blinds on our back door? Yeah.
When you fight with Texas, pick the battle you want to win, and let them win the small battle. It’s who they are. It’s who they were fifty years ago, and it’s who they’ll be fifty years from now. It’s no better or worse than Alabama making you choose a geographically asinine division because they want to keep a football game with Tennessee and prevent Auburn from getting into Florida.
When you’re Mizzou (or KSU, KU, ISU, etc.), you have to live with these clowns because they have the cash and the clout. Why not choose to stay in a conference where you could have some allies?

It's actually quite funny, the demands that 'Bama is putting on Mizzou's entrance.
That the Mizzou crowd (both fans and administration alike) don’t see that they’re simply trading one arrogant overlord (who’s incredibly weakened right now), for another (who is incredibly strong right now) is just beyond belief. At some point, it’s going to hit them, and it’s not going to be pretty.

I think once it really comes out that it's the SEC East or bust, a lot of the old guard will pause and reflect...
The young folks, who are too stupid to know the difference, will get angry and mobilize via Twitter, but the more rational fans (i.e. those with money and influence) will most likely realize that it’s a bad move.
If this is true, I think it decreases the likelihood of Mizzou actually accepting the invite. It’s a pretty big game changer.
If they do accept, they deserve whatever fate befalls them.

"Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer" is one of the best books I've ever read.
It should be required reading for ANY Mizzou fan wanting the SEC.
They don’t understand what it’s like down there. WE are considered casual fans.
The folks in the SEC…this stuff is a religion. The RV army that follows these teams each game…Mizzou won’t know what hit them.

I went to the Auburn game
and it was a pretty fun environment. The fans were pretty classy too.
Maybe I am biased, though, because I actually worked (designed sprinkler system for the concession buildings/restrooms on the concourse) on the Auburn Stadium expansion.

I believe the intend was to imply that if the stadium food was such that it required dedicated fire suppression systems in the restrooms that it would probably be worth avoiding.

Leaders and Legends
Well here we are half way through the season and I still have no idea who is in what division. It’s worse than Atlantic and Coastal because I can’t even tell you which one is more to the east or west thanks to them sort of sounding and looking the same.
I haven't even taken the time to look it up.

I just think of them as the "Losers" and "Lackys"
and then don’t worry about which is which.
This season has proven to me that the Pac-12 is most likely going to stay that way for the forseeable future...
Same with the Big Ten. Those two conferences are sitting so pretty on piles of money and living a harmonious existence. I’m sure that Larry Scott and Jim Delany would love to see other schools added, but my guess is that their university presidents are so happy with where they’re currently at, they’ll gladly sit out on this whole realignment mess and tell their commissioners to put a sock in it (like the Pac did with Scott).
At this point, I think the Big 12 is going to move forward in the future and solidify at twelve. Who those twelve are will be up for debate, but I think that’s where we’re ultimately headed.

And the more I realize how schizoid Mizzou is, the more I hope they just go ahead and leave.
In fact, I’ll clear a Saturday to come over and help them box up their crap, and will even loan them my pickup to haul their couch. If they don’t want that old ratty couch, we’ll just give it to West Virginia when they move in. I’m sure they’ll make good use of it.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
I don't want them to leave...
First and foremost, as a KC, MO resident and a taxpayer in the state of Missouri, I don’t want to see the economic impact that it will have on my community. As I get older, I tend to care more about these things. Mizzou fans may not care about this, but there are things more important than their sports butt hurt. And, contrary to what their St. Louis fans may think, Kansas City DOES matter and SHOULD be taken into consideration.
Missouri can go to the SEC, but I want one of two things to happen:
1) The $14 million generated by the Big 12 tournament will be withheld from state funding and given to KC
2) The university can donate $14 million to Kansas City, Missouri on an annual basis.
Either way. If they satisfy that, they can leave. Otherwise, they can put the best interests of the STATE of Missouri first and the athletic interests of a bunch of buck toothed Cape Girardeau secessionists second.

Just to clarify
Is the $14 gross? Then it would be like $560,000 impact to KC. Otherwise that would be like a $350,000,000 GEI and I’d have to say someone is using Mizzou math.

A side note for a good cause to the game this weekend
http://www2.kusports.com/weblogs/tale-tait/2011/oct/17/k-state-week-rivalry-put-on-hold-as-jayh/
It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care.
Damn it.
I need to fire the cleaning lady. It’s awful dusty in here.
It still felt weird supporting a KState fan by donating to KU (well not technically KU but you get the idea).
When life hands you lemons, make grape juice. Let them wonder how the F*ck you did it.
At least from your point of view
KSU fans use the place as well. I live in Lawrence and there are definitely more KSU fans here than the reverse (KU fans in Manhattan).
It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care.
I lived in Lowrents for 18 months or so..
Even used that hospital. Not that it stopped me from giving or that I minded all, but the KU game tie in made it fell like I was giving to KU, even though I wasn’t.

Manhattan 1st UMC hosted the men's bball team for dinner last night
Last night 1st United Methodist Church in Manhattan hosted the men’s basketball team for a potluck dinner (a Methodist specialty). The dinner is a tradition that has been going on for something like 50 years. I arrived early to help set up, and then the players arrived. Jamar arrived first, and he looked so dreadfully uncomfortable I felt bad for him.
Once the rest of the players arrived (right on time no less!) they hung out with each other and chatted, while a few of the church goers approached a few of the players they knew. I’m 6’0" and I have never felt short around a group of people before last night. Anyway, once Coach Martin arrived, everyone took their seats. All the assistants to the team had their own tables, but all the players were assigned seats throughout their adoring public. Frankly, it looked rather awkward for a lot of the players, particularly the freshman, as you might expect. Not everyone enjoyed the food, but some of the guys really did seem to have a good time.
After dinner (and dessert, but few of the players took part) Coach Martin thanked his staff (which is huge!) and everyone for hosting his team, then all the players introduced themselves before Victor thanked the crowd.
Martin then spoke about how much he enjoys the dinner and thanked the fans for their support before taking questions. I asked about the training facility (which will be done in June 2012) and if there were any games he was particularly excited about. I should have known his answer to both questions, but that was okay. I was sitting right up close, and Martin looked right at me during his answers. He’s astonishingly intense even having a conversation with you, but he’s also very friendly and happy to answer questions (at least those that aren’t posed by a total dumbass…).
I made sure to get Rodney’s autograph (he was my favorite player last year) and I chatted with Victor a little bit too. I had a good time, and I’m excited to see the team in action this year.
(Dear any NCAA rules enforcement pricks that aren’t currently burning evidence of SCam Newton and Shapiro’s activities – KSU and the head of the dinner took care of all the compliance paperwork last week, and all we had for drinks was water and coffee)

They can still do College Game Day for 3:30 ET game. They have even done it for the Noon ET games.
They probably won’t make that decision until later in the week or Saturday after our game and OUs are done.
I want the 2:30 Central start time !
the crowd is better for an afternoon game than a night game. Everyone is too tired (or drunk) by the time 7 p.m. roles around. I think we play better in the afternoon.
oh hail the Purple and White
I believe that ESPN reserves
the right to shuffle their schedule up to just a week before Kick-off once they have selected a game for their network. If that is the case, then they can wait until next Sunday and then decide they want to move the game to a later slot.
Of course, I could easily be wrong
This better be the case.

Which kinda sucks.
It is the lowest first time pass rate of all the exams (I contributed to that…see above).
It is only offered in October, so you have to wait a whole year to try again.
There are no sample problems like for the other disciplines. Society of Fire Protection Engineers offeres an online review course, which I took, but there is just so much material. My references weigh about 30 pounds.

It requires the super-cool/awesome/secret insider access to view, so here is what he says about Klein:
No. 23: Collin Klein, QB, Kansas State: Klein has been a constant for Kansas State’s offense. He’s doing it ugly, but he’s making the plays necessary to keep Kansas State undefeated. He leads the Big 12 with 10 rushing touchdowns and his 138 carries are 25 more than anyone else in the Big 12. He’s turned them into 578 yards rushing, and has thrown for 739 yards with seven touchdowns and three interceptions.
Would you like some Freys with that?
What? I... er... hmpf.
Well there is all sorts of other cool insidery awesome secret stuff I can see and you can’t! So there! ;-)

From ESPN
gauging the odds of the remaining unbeatens staying that way
Since it’s behind the paywall, here is the blurb on KSU
Kansas State Wildcats
The Wildcats are one of the season’s happy surprises, but that’s probably going to come crashing to a halt when they face Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas A&M in consecutive weeks. Kansas State has played six games so far, and five were decided by a single score. As good a coach as Bill Snyder may be, that kind of close-game success is unsustainable. Probability indicates that Kansas State has earned 1.3 more wins than it should to date, a measure of the Wildcats as the fourth-“luckiest” team in the nation.
When they are exposed, it will be because of three-and-outs. Kansas State’s offense fails to earn at least one first down on 35.4 percent of offensive drives, the 76th-worst rate in the nation. Defensively, the Wildcats are forcing three-and-outs on only 29.1 percent of opponent drives, the 84th-worst rate in the nation. On average, the other nine undefeated teams are ranked in the top 25 in both categories. KSU has had a nice run, but it will take a huge step up in production or a lot more luck to keep it going.
But we haven't opened up our play book ! :)

We did a little in the second half at TT
But it will be closed tight against KU before being laid bare for OU.
When life hands you lemons, make grape juice. Let them wonder how the F*ck you did it.
AND
I believe this is total bullshit. But this season does remind me of KU’s Orange Bowl season. No one could figure out how they kept winning, they just did. BIG difference is, they didn’t have to play the entire B12South. We will have to. I’m not saying we go undefeated, but if OSU loses to OU and we lose to OU but win out (there by beating OSU) we’re number 2 and headed for a BCS game.
When life hands you lemons, make grape juice. Let them wonder how the F*ck you did it.
Yeah, there will be no dismissals when the season is over
Either we get exposed and lose 2-4 more games,
OR
We prove the haters wrong and lose 1-0 more games.
If that is the case, unlike KU’s Orange Bowl season, nobody can say that we lucked out with the worst possible Big 12 schedule.
Would you like some Freys with that?

Exactly
Though I think if we lose two (OU and OSU) it means we beat the teams we were supposed to, not necessarily that we were exposed. Any other combo equals exposed.
If I’m real honest with myself, I think OSU and Baylor are about the same frankly. They’ve played different sides of the conference with the exception of A&M. The A&M that OSU played was completely different from the A&M that Baylor played, but A&M is always a little schitzo.
All this to say, I think we can beat OSU. Not getting my hopes up for OU. A&M is a crap shoot as to who shows up for the game. Texas, well we own them. KU/ISU, as long as we don’t over look them, no worries.
Then there is a small voice in the back of my head that tells me we only beat KU and ISU the rest of the season, so who the fuck knows.

OSU is better defensively than Baylor.

Keitzman made the same observation I did Saturday night...
Snyder looks younger, now, than when he retired.
Whatever he’s doing, it’s working.

And he aged more in 04 and 05 than in the 5 or 6 years preceding
I think he was tired, and just needed a break (too bad that break was bad for the university). It helps when your team is winning and you have good/solid players that you can count on, especially at the QB and LB positions (the guys that lead their units). And he’s looked that way since spring ball, and acted younger too. He’s happy, and jokes with the media guys, and in general behaves like he is having more fun this year than in the last four of his coaching years.
Its just awesome
I think he got so deep into it there at the end that the monster consumed him and he couldn't see the forest for the trees.
When he retired, he could take a step back, take a look at how the game currently is from 10,000 feet. That has allowed him to keep what works, lose what didn’t, and make the changes necessary.
He’s recruiting qualifiers. He’s going a lot heavier with prep players than he used to, and he’s targeting good players that he can get instead of putting his eggs into baskets that were normally stolen by sexier programs. His recruiting has improved by leaps and bounds (regardless of what the services say).
Give him three more years and he’ll make one last good run with Daniel Sams. I’m probably just huffing glue, but things just feel different this time. He has built a rock solid foundation at this point. Get the right mix of guys, and well, you know what happens when he has that.

Agree
He definitely looks rejuvenated and I think going out with those two seasons in ‘04 and ’05, followed by the sheer descent that Prince made of his beloved program, left him motivated. I never worry about the recruiting too much, because there are too many variables involved in what the services say and rank with classes and how they ultimately pan out on the field. But saying that, I agree that he’s recruiting better than when he left and he has a nice mix of JUCOs along with a lot of preps that he shrewdly redshirts and greyshirts. Where was Tre Walker in the recruiting services rankings? Or Ty Zimmerman? Or BJ FInney?
I believe Pinkel could sense this as well.
And after watching some Red Raider show today…Tubberville was a bit mystified as well.

Even while he was retired though I saw a big difference
I think him stepping away was exactly what he needed. He’s a totally different person than he was in 05. When I had dinner with him in Jan 07, I told him as much. He said it was weird waking up and not knowing what he would be doing on any given day. Once he got used to it he realized that there are times to be structured and times to take life as it comes. I think we’re seeing more of the ‘real Bill’ that he thought he had to hide (not the right word but you get the point) before he left.

Right.
I’m with ww here – the last 3 games (prior to TTU) were “on TV” but for me it meant following on a choppy ESPN3 19" monitor feed because I wasn’t in the right region to get it on their flagship networks. This one will be on the same channel everywhere – even for me!

I've been going through the same thing
Baylor and Mizzou games I had to watch on ESPN3 on my MacBookPro; my cable company doesn’t carry FoxSportsNet (dropped it heading into the ‘10 season) and so I had to bang over to a buddy’s place to watch the Tech game. Frustrating…but then KSU and the Big-12 always get screwed out here in the northeast where god-awful Big-10 football takes precedence.
Huge - now we need a darn good effort
this is the kind of national platform that can be a game changer as far as “image” goes.

“The 12thth-ranked Wildcats (6-0, 3-0) travel to in-state rival Kansas Saturday for the 109th edition of the Sunflower Showdown, presented by Dillons. The game will kick at 11 a.m. and air nationally on FSN.” I wonder if the thth is an accident or a jab at Lou Holththth? Probably an athident, but funny anyway.

Ah, I was hoping for a night game so possibly we were considered for College Gameday?
We have the best matchup that week! Other top games are GT vs Clemson and Wisc. vs Buckeyes!

I will not be a very happy man.
Every year my son and I go up for a K state game and we had chosen the OU game this year. I found out we had other plans that weekend so we changed to A&M. FML if Gameday is in the Little Apple Oct. 29…
I wrote a fanpost concerning my thoughts about the upcoming week.
I think you will find it very insightful.
