K-State Slate: 9.23.11

I'm going to follow Bill's lead and use this as a post for non-realignment links. There will be a post later with realignment links and commentary.
K-State is playing much faster this year, but will it be fast enough to keep up with Miami?
That's anybody's guess at this point, because the Hurricanes are loaded with speed and talent.
Even coming off a big win over Ohio State, Miami coach Al Golden is confident his team won't overlook K-State. He's also terrified of Ray Kibble. Or at least he says he's terrified of Ray Kibble.
Even if it seems like everyone else is talking about it, Arthur Brown hasn't had much to say about returning to Miami on Saturday.
Miami's released its injury report -- after years following a Bill Snyder team, I'm not 100 percent sure what that is -- and starting left tackle Malcolm Bunche is listed as doubtful, along with heralded offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson, who has not played this year. Defensive lineman Shayon Green is also doubtful with a knee injury.
Miami running back Lamar Miller ranks fourth nationally in rushing and second nationally in all-purpose yardage. Stopping or at least slowing him down will be priority one for K-State's defense on Saturday.

Bill Snyder Injury Report:
RB Bryce Brown is listed as “SCREW YOU MEDIA” with a strain of his “NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS” muscle.

Does anyone else think Snyder had some strategy in not showing Brown yet?
He had three carries in the EKU game for 17 yds. Yes, he fumbled, but his average was better than the others and everyone knows he’s the best athlete. I can’t believe that he won’t be the workhorse soon as back. Maybe it’s just the conspiracy theory part of my brain, but I get the feeling a lot of this “attitude”, “work ethic” and “banged up” talk was just part of Snyder’s plan to not show much until we really needed him. That, and of course, to motivate Bryce.
Bitchslapping Texas since 1997
no
There could be no strategy in putting in someone who is essentially green in live game action in this system.
He's not "green", really.
He was the second-leading rusher on an SEC team the year before last.

It worked out okay for Klein last year against UT!

Probably Not,
But I’m there with you though. I’m just hoping that’s the case, even though I doubt it. I kept waiting for Chris Harper to have a moment like that last year…
Surgeon General's Warning: K-State-Mizzou basketball may increase the risk of high blood pressure. Please consult your doctor prior to watching any of these games.
Yes and no
He could have played against KentSU, but why risk re-injuring his leg? He hung out with Tuggle the whole game studying the playbook, which is a good thing. I, almost to a fault, give Snyder the benefit of doubt. Last years Texas game is a perfect example of how wily the old man still is.
When life hands you lemons, make grape juice. Let them wonder how the F*ck you did it.
I'd say that combined with a injury may have kept him out of the last one
But not EKU – i think Snyder was just pissed at the fumble there.
"It's always been a physical, high-motor, fundamentally sound team and this version of Kansas State is no different."
-Coach Golden was too preoccupied with the Owls to have seen any RP football
Is Mizzou for real?
I mean seriously? We’re all sick of this $#it.
Loose lips in Columbia:
"We either stick in the Big 12 because everything came about the way it needs to, the right way, with all the differences being settled in Missouri’s favor," a university administrator who asked not to be identified told The Star on Thursday night. "But what are the odds of that happening?
"The other option is to join another conference and I believe that is something that we’re very open to."
It ain't over
Sorry, but the B/12 will not be saved unless Aggie comes back and we kick Longhorn out. Positions are hardening along irreconciably different fault lines. Heels are getting dug into the ground. That only means divorce. If you have been listening to Pinkel the last few weeks, he has told his administrators what to do. Mizzou has an option. I don’t think they wring the concessions out of Texas on the Network that would save this deal. And Texas does not want to go beyond 10 teams, which everyone realizes has to be done to have a good conference.
oh hail the Purple and White
Good grief!
THE AGGIES ARE NOT COMING BACK!!!!!
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
Has anybody tried to get them back?
If Mizzou does not go to the SEC, and W. Va. doesn’t go to the SEC, does the SEC stick at 13.
Does the SEC have its waivers? (and trust me, they will not take Aggie without waivers, or at least indemnification agreements from ESPN or very well heeled enterprises like CBS)
oh hail the Purple and White
Well...
Well the entire time they were discussing leaving, didn’t our conference actively try and keep them? That’s what I remember that whole circus as. Still, I would much rather talk to Longhorn fans than Aggie fans.

The will not violate Reveille’s resting place before coming back, because dog mascots are important.

Sorry Gaknar, but your school is run by a bunch of morons and they are running it into the ground.

I'm confused by Mizzou...
what leverage do they have? I would like MU in the SEC but the offer to MU was contingent on the B12 falling apart and now that OU is back in the fold, that seems unlikely. Unless, MU is thinking we can leave like A&M to the SEC and be replaced without the league falling without BU sueing threat. UT and OU probably look at it now that as long as those two are aboard—OU locked in now after being duped by PAC and nowhere it appears which makes no sense—add to ten and keep B12 at all cost.
Reporter: What would you say a Greg Studrawa offense is like? Stud:

Mizzou picks up where OU leaves off?
But really, as you say, what leverage does Mizzou have? Sorry to prick the self-inflated bubble that Mizzou has of itself, but the Big-12 does not collapse because of an exit by the Tigers. I would like to think Brady Deaton is an honorable man and understandably he must look after his schools best interests. But this is getting old. Just bind together with the rest of us and vote against Texas when all these issues come up in conference board meetings. Simple. Now let’s get on with it because the drama is getting old, particularly while we approach the heart of football season.

In addition ...
Even if Mizzou does have a realistic option in the SEC and they choose it … they’ll be choosing the “stability” of getting prison raped on the football field annually.
Mizzou Fan … you can’t possibly want this to actually happen.

At least you can get out of prison

oh hail the Purple and White
Disagree with the attitude of
“…just bind together with the rest of us and vote against Tx….” line of thinking. That is the attitude one takes when he is getting “tired” in a battle or a tough negotiation. Just go-along-to get-along. The reason this won’t work is there is no “vote” anyone can take to MAKE Texas turn over its 3rd tier rights, unless that vote is along the lines of RESOLVED: IN ORDER TO BE IN THE CONFERENCE ALL SCHOOLS TURN OVER THEIR 3RD TIER RIGHTS. When Tx refuses, they are booted out of the conference. And what do the by-laws state about how many it takes to add a school(s) over 10, which Tx doesn’t want to do?
No, I think we fix all issues now, get a real governing structure, or we are just asking for a slow death.
And we move the conference offices back to KC. Boy, would that piss the Nubs off.

I gotta concur with you in one respect.
You’re right that we can’t just go along to get along or to just say screw you Tejas, you’re gone. But it is also time the rest of the league started putting down some markers and negotiating from a position of strength. We (KSU and the rest of the sheep) have been too passive for too long. We definitely need to go on the offensive and start making Bevo make some tough decisions. If we get to a point in the process where Bevo won’t budge, then we’ll know whether or not the conference is ever going to survive.
If I'd known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.
Thanks Arkie,
Texas is not in a position of strenght here. Where are they gonna go with their precious LHN? The PAC? Apparently not. The ACC and B1G want nothing to do with them. So now we say, play by the new rules, and here they are, or get the fuck out – go independent. We will do fine in the long run if that happens. If it doesn’t get resolved correctly now, we are agreeing to a slow death. This is not a negotiation over who gets the corner office or the covered parking space. It will be a negotiation over whether schools like KSU are in a good conference for the next 15 years and beyond. And if we do not approach it with that attitude, and let Texas know they, in fact, are expendable, we will lose.
oh hail the Purple and White
UT got a real pride shot in all of this
They realized, they can’t just go wherever the hell they want. This is as “down” as they’ll be until Mack Brown retires, and (if) the replacement is a horrible choice.
Go for the “jugular” which in this case is probably more like clogging 1 of 2 nostrils with some snot.
"Nor yet in Dell?"
Forgot to mention one thing yesterday that made me sick to my stomach
The Currie is on way too many short lists these days.
Guh. I’m queezy just thinking about it.
When life hands you lemons, make grape juice. Let them wonder how the F*ck you did it.
I don't think he's going anywhere right now
He seems to genuinely like it here, and he’s got a lot of projects on the table.
Maybe once the facilities upgrades are complete, and he hires a new stellar coach then he will feel that it’s a good time to leave…but honestly I dont see it happening before that.
Like I said, he REALLY likes it here. I’ve gotten the chance to talk to him outside of official functions and he talks about how much he and his family enjoy K-State and Manhattan, and youre really not going to find that in too many other places.
He needs to get his hands dirty first.
Hiring and firing coaches is a good resume builder.
Hail to the Purple, Hail to the White
Wildcat in spirit, Wildcat in fight
Hail Alma Mater from sea to sea
Onward forever, Hail Victory!
Can't argue with any of this
It’s how I feel too. It worries me though the he hasn’t done all of that and is still getting contacted. I’d feel better if he was the B12’s best kept secret.

A nice article on Freeman (but it also mentions He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named)
"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
Freeman would be a bigger favorite of mine if he didn’t play for “he who must not be named”. Maybe it’s too much bitterness from those years, but I just can’t seem to get over it, no matter how irrational it is.
But it will always be why Jordy, Sproles and DT are bigger favs of mine. Although I will say Freeman is probably fourth (tied with Newman) in line of KSU favorite players in the NFL now.
I find it pitiful I don't follow Newman nearly enough
Hasn’t he been a starter his entire time with the Cowboys?

Yup, but is just coming off an injury so this will be his first start of the season.

He can finally use his locker.
Wait a minute…
When life hands you lemons, make grape juice. Let them wonder how the F*ck you did it.
Yup, but I don't know how he's ranked overall in the NFL during his career

He was considered a "shutdown corner" for a good 5-7 years.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
He still probably has
A few good years of cornerback in him too.

I doubt the Cowboys keep him after this year.
They had planned to sign Nnamdi Asomugha (sp?), and cut him this year, but that fell through. Unfortunately TNew’s body is betraying him, and he’s getting hurt a lot more.

Good
It seems like the only time I heard about him was when he was getting smoked by someone, but then, I only pay slightly more attention to the NFL than I do to ice skating and equestrian.

I think it has a lot to do with the obscene number of picks he threw to the Jay-chickens, and his inability to beat said Jay-chickens
