K-State Slate: 11.17.11

 

K-state_slate_icon_medium

 

This will be short and sweet.

K-State Football

For the first time in conference play, K-State will play a team very much like itself when it travels to Austin on Saturday.

Barking Carnival scouts the Wildcats, and I'd have to say he's right on.

Here's an excellent breakdown of what K-State tries to do, especially defensively.

Collin Klein makes Bill's Heisman Trophy Watch list.

The Wildcats check in at No. 17 in this week's BlogPoll.

K-State Women's Basketball

Jalana Childs led K-State pats BYU. Yeah, pats? Why do you ask?

K-State Volleyball

Iowa State swept K-State in Ames.

This is more than a week old now, but somehow I missed it (somehow, haha). It's Scipio Tex with probably the best analysis of the Penn State scandal I've seen.

Coach of the Year is really a 2-man race between Snyder and Gundy.

They’re both in the 72,000 vote range. Next highest is Dabo Swinney with about 30,000.

Vote! From as many computers and e-mail addresses as you can.

Isn't this whole voting thing just determining finalists anyway?

The barkingcarnival guys are hilarious -

Any analysis of Snyder’s dominance that doesn’t include the words "Blofeld," and "white Persian cat" leaves me dissatisfied on one level.

They have the clearest identity of any team in the league and they also have the league’s best pure X and O head coach. Snyder is an evil genius who likely intends to burrow into NORAD and overthrow our government, but at least his New World Order will be incredibly organized and fiercely upgrade junior college curricula the world over.

[KSU’s O-line ] …they certainly benefit from a Thousand One, Thousand Two hesitation from the defensive ends who are generally mind-fucked by the KSU option game by the mid-2nd quarter.

If they’re smart, KSU will man him up on Davis, tell him to play tight, offer a little help behind him, and watch our passing game die before it starts. – Yeah, right, that’s never going to happen

On a serious note – http://www.mackbrown-texasfootball.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/111511aaa.html

I REALLY hope Hubert/Pease can have a great game. Honey Badger don’t need 15+ carries again!

Acually it does

because of the two years on two years off schedule we missed the Vince Young glory years where they won the rose bowl and then followed it up by winning the national championship. We managed to dodge two of Texas’ best teams ever.

Although I would argue that in our series with Texas we have only one 2 games as the underdog. That would be the Ron Prince Bold and Daring wins.

What is amazing isn’t how we keep winning but how Texas found a way to lose to Ron Prince … twice.

by margibso on Nov 17, 2011 10:14 AM CST up reply actions  

We did, however, face Vince Young once

albeit in his freshman year. That was the one where Ell fumbled late in the game as K-State was essentially running out the clock and Young drove down the field in the waning moments on our defense. Both losses to Texas (2002 and 2003) were wins K-State fumbled away.

.10 is a more realistic limit

for older folks who have developed a tolerance for alcohol. It is a tough area to know just what the right thing is. But .08 gets a lot of folks who are driving, but who aren’t unsafe. I’m not going to get on a soap box about it. Society has made its choice about this and we just have to be aware of it, and act accordingly. Obvioulsy, Pinkel didn’t act wisely. This will cost him dearly in terms of being able to discipline his team in the future.

I just wish there was a way you could blow before getting into a vehicle

I think a ton of people would make different choices if they REALLY knew where they stood. Rather than trying to play some sort of mathematical game with so many variables. Look, I’m lucky because as I remembered from my personal wellness class, I was actually very close in body type to the typical example they use, that I was pretty close to the example figures…but things change, and if I hadn’t eaten anything since breakfast on one day had a pretzel and 2 beers within 2 hrs at the end of a long day at work, that’s a whole ‘nother story than if I downed 20 wings at Hooters and took in a 4OT KSU victory in which I consumed 3 beers. It’s likely I’d be better off in the second scenario.

Well, those devices shut down your

car if there is any detectible alcohol in your system. They are not manufactured with the tolerance to distinquish a .02 from a .08. The court ordered probations generally prohibit you from drinking, AT ALL, while on probation for DUI. (At least it is that way in Johnson County).

right, I get it.

I did see at Bed Bath & Beyond once a personal breathalizer….

I could see why no one would produce one, it’s just a liability issue waiting to happen. But then it got me thinking, like anything of that sort it requires calibration to ensure its accuracy. Which begs the question, how often does the law enforcement assure its tools are calibrated? Seems like all the way around it’s a flawed system. But I don’t know what else you do.

by GTcat on Nov 17, 2011 10:35 PM CST up reply actions  

Ok

Portable breath analyzers are sent in for calibration on a rotating schedule. Each one has an i.d. or serial number on it. If you blow, ask for the number. Then as a part of discovery ask for the calibration records. If it appears to be toward the middle or end of the cycle, ask for it to be tested.

Not auto guilty.

I assume Mizzou is an implied consent state (I think almost all are now). You can refuse to blow in the field and ask to go to the station and either use the big one or provide blood or urine. If you refuse all of the above in an implied consent state most have a mandatory suspension of liscence.

DUbb-step breaks down Big 12 footbaw coaching salaries.

http://espn.go.com/blog/big12/post/_/id/39180/fun-with-big-12-coaching-salaries

Snyder ranks 8 out of 10. Gill ranks 5. I can’t even make a joke about that. Unless KU wins some more this year, Gill will be paid more than $1 million per win.

On a serious note, I think it’s ridiculous the salaries college football coaches are paid. The average salary of a Big 12 head football coach is more than $2.5 million. Sure, it’s skewed by Brown and Stoops, but nobody is making less than $1 million.

Gill's agent earned every penny he's getting from his client.

He got a guy taking his first HC job in a major conference a salary in the upper half, probably by encouraging a perception that Gill had multiple suitors. Gill was a good (not great, but good) MAC coach. But his first contract at Kansas should have had a low base salary and lots of incentives. Incentives for wins, bowl eligibility, bowl invitations, top-half conference finishes, top-3 conference finishes, and other things like that. Instead they gave him a big base salary and a reportedly enormous buyout.

Does anyone have any details about the length of the contract or buyout terms?

Oh, and if Pinkel somehow loses out (doubtful, they still play KU), does anyone think he’ll make it to the SEC? Would his DWI arrest be enough for Mizzou to fire him with cause, precluding a buyout?

by AMS on Nov 17, 2011 12:36 PM CST up reply actions  

I just found it myself.

There is no buyout clause, they would have to pay him as much to not coach the remainder of his contract as to coach. Dumping him this year would cost KU $6 million. That is a horrible contract for KU.

by AMS on Nov 17, 2011 12:39 PM CST up reply actions  

This was negotiated at a time Perkins was

incredibly weak. He was under fire for the weight equipment in his house; he knew the ticket indictments were coming; the bad PR from the Mangino firing. Perkins screwed so much it will take them ten years to recover from Perkin’s mistakes. Bill Self can write his own contract there for a long period to come – if they lose him – they are toast.

the only thing i know is over on BON we are all confused as to why we are favored by Vegas

so some of us are thinking Vegas is trying to tease us. i guess the fact that everyone thinks we should beat KSU fueled those rumors. but we Longhorns know better when KSU comes to Austin we light the Tower purple

well, we're confused as well. I don't mind being a dog

It’s the road, y’all have a great run defense, that’s virtually all we do, I just don’t get the 9 pts. I could see it being a pick ‘em. I also don’t think Ash repeats his performance of last week (I mean I’m assuming that was the worst of the season? Or are the majority of his games like last Saturday?).

its been a rollercoaster ride lol i think OU was much worse than last week

once we lost B&B and Fozzy we had no other option but throw it. he has had a problem fumbling the ball but thats mostly when he gets sacked and he’s thrown some picks but the offense isnt designed to have him pass the ball a lot. but he may have no choice this saturday.

He could have a big day

But I really doubt he’ll get by without throwing some picks to our playmakers in the Secondary. While they may not be able to cover anything all that well consistent, they will more likely than not I think have a pick or two.

haha

yes beating A&M is more important (i mean dont we all wanna give aggy a nice send off?) in fact many Texas fans myself included dont want Malcolm or Joe to play if they arent 100% so they are as healthy as possible for the A&M game

I know at least a few of you who have posted on here were band members.

Here’s a good look at the band of our “newest” conference member’s marching band in their tribute to veterans. Being one, a veteran that is, the link was sent to me by a friend. Looks like it was a good show.
