K-State Football
Arthur Brown had a breakthrough season for K-State this year, but he had to do it alone after his brother, Bryce, left the team three games into the season. It's sad to read Arthur's comment where he said he's not really sure what Bryce is doing right now.
With K-State sports on break for finals, the rest of the Slate will be devoted to entertaining happenings from elsewhere in college sports...
College Football
Todd Graham left Pitt for Arizona State after less than one year at Pitt. He told his players he was leaving via a text message sent to the director of football operations, to be forwarded on to his players. One of his players went on an impressive Twitter rant about Graham's departure.
Mike Leach, do you think Craig James can win his campaign for a Senate seat? "Uh, does anybody?" Love you, Mike.
KU Athletes are Kind of Bad at Remembering to Show Up for Court
KU basketball player Ben McLemore was arrested after he failed to show up for a court appearance in his minor in possession case. Seriously, as good as the kids are with the technology these days, you'd think he could set up a calendar reminder or something. At least he didn't take a default judgment like Sherron Collins.

Graham is going to have a problem with recruits going forward. He looks like a giant tool that is chasing money. Its going to be super hard now to convince a recruit that Graham will be at ASU for the long run.
And I feel really bad for Arthur
He’s a really nice kid (I met him once when he was working on a project in the University Archives) and I’m sure he wishes Bryce was there, having a break-out season with him. I think Snyder would take Bryce back, but he would have to come as a walk-on, and will have to prove he is willing to become a part of this team by showing up to EVERYTHING.
And speaking of standout years, while Arthur had a great year for this team, I really don’t feel like he is ready to go to the NFL. Not only does he not seem like that kind of person (to jump at money and fame), there is still a lot to accomplish here.
I am super excited for next year, with all of the returning talent on both sides of the ball, and knowing that there are a bunch of quality guys waiting in the wings ready to get playing. Go Cats!
I hope AB gets back to 100% for the Cotton Bowl ...
To me, he was noticeably slowed by that knee for more than half the season. He was still a great player, but he was an animal before that.

Well he looked a lot better with even that one week off
before the ISU game. I imagine given a whole week of rest (after Christmas) but the bowl practices that Snyder has (its mostly just fundamentals and younger players tend to get more reps), I bet he is ready to go at 98-99% come January 6th.
I agree
He didn’t do too badly against UT, but he didn’t look right from the end of the TT game until ISU. Against ISU he was back to being the league defensive player of the year he was early in the season.

not that I am without sympathy towards his position following David Boren’s egregiously ridiculous statements on September 2nd, but this constant bypassing of Mizzou’s central role in the Big-12 realignment-palooza of the past two years is just laughable.

Snyder up by about 17,000 but we want to make sure.

Just because he is up by 17,000
doesn’t mean that we won’t observe a miraculous 10,000 vote surge for Brady Hoke. I still want to know how he was nowhere close to Snyder or Gundy in the prelims and now he is in 2nd place. Since Craig James said on the Bowl Selection show that he thinks Hoke deserves Coach of the Year, I am extremely interested to see what the numbers do in the final days of voting.

This might of already been said.
I have someone in my family that is a KU student athlete (sorry, could not convince her to go to K-State like me), and she told me that Jordan Webb has been cut from the team. I don’t know if this is 100% accurate, but thought it was interesting (and funny) if true.
They must really be counting on getting Brock Bergland to come back next year.

I've heard those mumblings as well.

Does he have to sit out this season for transfer rules, or has he already graduated?
First to identify a TEWWT (so what if it was unintentional)
by Jeremy Sharp on Dec 15, 2011 3:22 PM CST up reply actions
Here was something I found from ESPN.
“Crist is scheduled to graduate later this month and will have one year of eligibility remaining since he did not play his first year at Notre Dame. He can transfer to another school and play immediately so long as he enrolls in a graduate program that Notre Dame does not offer, per NCAA rules.”
So, I wonder what KU offers that ND doesn't.
I’m too lazy/uninterested to look for myself.
And are people assuming that because Weis was at ND and Crist was at ND that this is a done deal? Was Crist originally recruited by Weis? I haven’t paid attention to ND football closely enough (read “at all”) to know dates and whatnot.

ku would offer guaranteed starting duties for his last year of eligibility.
by Itchy n Scratchy on Dec 15, 2011 3:41 PM CST up reply actions
The question that Jeremy is asking...
Is not: “Why would Crist chose KU over Notre Dame?”
But rather: “What graduate program does KU offer that Notre Dame does not, thus allowing Crist to transfer and play immediately?”
To answer that question, upon a preliminary scan, I noticed that Notre Dame only offers post-graduate programs in Spanish, French and Italian, while KU does have an offering in German.
So he could study German!

by EMAW 4 Ever (iphone) on Dec 15, 2011 6:36 PM CST via iPhone app up reply actions
KU offers a starting job for him.
He was most likely not going to play at ND, so I guess this would give him a shot. He is also visiting Wisconsin, Delaware, and maybe Pitt. Weis did recruit him back in 2008, so I think that is where the pull is coming from. It really looks like Crist just wants to go somewhere to start immediately.
I've heard rumors that several KU players are going to be academically ineligible and are planning to transfer
No idea how true that is.
Would not surprise me
Snyder had the same problem with many of RP’s “recruits,” esp. those from JUCO
I'm a man! I lost to Iowa State, hurting what would have been the best season of Cowboy football ever!

I could see the logic being something like this:
Bill Snyder is by far better than every other non-Big 12 candidate (Miles, Hoke, Sweeney).
Bill Snyder had two losses, to OU and OSU.
Mike Gundy had one loss, and beat Snyder head-to-head.
Not saying I buy that argument, because of the discrepancies in talent, but I can see some semblance of logic behind it.

by ChrisP Wildcat on Dec 15, 2011 4:04 PM CST up reply actions
Not meaning to disrespect anyone on our team, because I wouldn't trade any of them for anyone...
but I think if we had Weeden and Blackmon this year, we very likely could have finished undefeated and would be playing LSU in the title game, so yeah, I think talent has a lot to do with Gundy’s success.
I guess Snyder doesn’t get down and boogie in the locker room after big wins though, so maybe that was the reasoning behind giving him the award.

Really isn't a defamation if you think about it
I’m assuming we definitely would have won the OSU game just by the fact that Weeden and Blackmon would have been on our team instead of the opposing team, thereby all of the yards and points they gained would automatically swing over to us.
I don’t have the same kind of justification for the OU second half beatdown though.
