K-State Football
For his game-saving tackle on Miami's Jacory Harris, and seven other tackles against the Hurricanes, Tre Walker is your Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week.
Even at his age, Bill Snyder keeps 'em guessing. During this week, we'll take a look at a few of the things K-State is doing on offense these days.
Kevin Haskin ran into Mark Mangino on K-State's sideline at Sun Life Stadium on Saturday. Well, not literally "ran into him," that wouldn't have ended well, but you know what I mean.
News of A&M's official departure for the SEC prompted little commentary from Big 12 coaches.
College Football
Bill explores collapses, field position and playing keep-away in this week's Numerical.
Also from Bill, a look at what Texas A&M's schedule in the SEC might look like. If you haven't figured it out yet, you should be reading Bill regularly at the mothership, and following him on Twitter @SBN_BillC.
K-State Volleyball
Middle blocker Kaitlynn Pelger was honored as the Big 12's player of the week for the second straight week.
The Wildcats have won eight matches in a row, including a sweep over Baylor to open the conference season. K-State tries to make it nine in a row tomorrow at Missouri.
Conference Realignment
Paging Governor Nixon, hello, Governor Nixon? Connecticut's governor calls the Big East a "fall back option" if the ACC doesn't work out.
In at least one area, Texas A&M measures up well with its new colleagues in the SEC.
Rick Pitino has some thoughts on conference realignment. But he's a coach, not an AD or university president, so his goal of adding Temple to the Big East will have to be run up the flagpole.
That ACC is a real thief.
Texas A&M wants to keep playing Texas. Cue maniacal laughter.
If the Big 12 breaks up, Kansas City could (should) bring back the Big 8 holiday basketball tournament.
Other College Sports
AZ Central has an extensive investigatory series on the BCS. I haven't read this yet, but it looks interesting.
As shared by Anon last week, this week's cover story on The Atlantic looks at the shame of college sports. I finally read this late last week, and it's well worth the time.

Any one bothered by this:
Headline: “Neinas, Dodds to advise new sport consulting firm”
Any one who thinks that Neinas is anything other than a stalking horse for Longhorn and Sooner will be sadly disappointed.
Jeff Schemmel, mentioned as the former AD at San Diego State, ran track at KSU and graduated in 1976. He was in my class then and in law school.
oh hail the Purple and White
Can we at least give him a week on the job before accusing him of being part of the vast conspiracy?
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
Do whatever you want
I’ll do what I want. That seems to be one of your recurring meme’s. This is what sports blogs are for, yada, yada, yada, as you continue on childish rants about how Snyder “has it in for BB in order to prove a point.”
I didn’t accuse him of being part of a vast conspiracy. Past actions show that OU and UT have acted in concert on issues. When Neinas ran the Big 8, he did whatever OU and Nub wanted. He does what the Big Boys want. It is who he is, and it is what he has been. I’m just sayin, don’t be surprised.
Now, I guess from the tone of your response i take it that the fact that Deloss and Neinas are in bed together on a sports consultancy venture doesn’t bother you. That’s fine. Just say it.
oh hail the Purple and White
I guess the answer to my question is "No."
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
You have a lot of nerve
Calling someone else childish.
Bobby Hill: What's a meat examination team?
Hank Hill: It's like a debate team, only instead of doing something useless you get to grade the cut and quality of meat!
as an observation
Furn and KSB are probably the quickest to “go over the top” on a regular basis. I suppose it’s also good balance as well, it would probably be pretty boring if we were all Bill Snyder even keeled.

Find any one of my posts that is remotely close to what Furnace does,
and I’ll accept this as constructive criticism.

Are you talking about the open game thread?
And how is that remotely the same as Furnace repeatedly being vulgar and calling people childish names?
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
Vulgar? What frickin nerve
you call people douchbags all the time on here. Find one post of mine where I insult someone (other than Osborn or Perlman) with language like that. I haven’t used the term “douchbag” since 8th grade, because it is juvenile language, generally used by juveniles. And I’m sorry, the fact that you would attribute to Bill Snyder the motive of holding B Brown back simply to prove a point is the kind of crap I might have thought about coaches when I was a freshman in high school, but I grew out of that by 10th grade. The fact that you would accuse one of the best coaches in history of this, based upon your personal experience in coaching at the junior high level, is at least laughable, if not childish. Sorry, I call em like I see.
oh hail the Purple and White
Grow up.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
Well, that didn't take long, and about what I expected from an
unarmed man! Let’s just agree on this: you don’t like me and I don’t like you, fair enough?
oh hail the Purple and White
When you're not treating me like shit, I've got no problem with you.
I enjoy your stories, and have always looked forward to your occasional fanposts. I’ve got no idea why you’ve chosen to single me out.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
Oh, and you're also lying.
Just to make certain, I searched my account history for times I’ve used the word “douche” or “douchebag.” It’s happened 3 times:
No, it’s douche-y to do it to anyone two days after the fact.

That is patently false (a lie).

Honestly it really doesn't bother me
Neinas isn’t permanent anyway. Plus, if a Texas-OU conspiracy keeps the league together and bigger checks coming in to Kstate, I say go for it.

No, I'm not bothered...
Both men are powerful. Both men are looking to add members to this conference. Look at one of the things JMI will do:
JMI Sports LLC has started the JMI Sports College Division, which will provide universities assistance with everything from finding a new coach to finding a new conference, from dealing with NCAA issues to building a new stadium.
Maybe we’ll use JMI to help find #10 (or #11 or #12).
Boren was the one that wanted Neinas. It wasn’t Dodds or Powers.

From the way I read the article
these two are just a couple among many other advisers to this new firm that they did not create, nor have a hand in creating.
Interim Big 12 Commissioner Chuck Neinas and Texas Athletic Director DeLoss Dodds will be among the current college administrators serving as advisers
I don’t see the need to be too worried about it. Would you be as upset if ADJC was also an adviser?
well crud
AZ Central articles are being dribbled out for the rest of the week, hopefully I will remember to go read the rest of the articles later this week.

A person who intentionally and repeatedly follows or harasses another person and who makes a credible threat, either expressed or implied, with the intent to place that person in reasonable fear of death or serious bodily harm is guilty of the crime of stalking. A person may be charged with aggravated stalking if they commit the crime of stalking while subject to a temporary restraining order, injunction against trespass, or similar order.

Game lines
So, there has been some movement on the lines since I looked yesterday (sportsbetting.com).
KSU +3.5 vs Baylor (was +4 yesterday)
KU +6 vs Tech (was +7 yesterday) If this line keeps trending this way, it looks like a home run to me.
A lot of farms will be on the line Saturday if that KU line stays at +6

This just totally does not make any sense to me. I know lines move to encourage betting on the other side, but seems like it should be moving the other way. This just seems like one of the safest bets I have seen in a long time.

Love this comment by Bobby Petrino...
"I think that’s good for us, good for our recruiting," Petrino said. "There’s been a number of guys in the last three, four years we didn’t get to come here. They grew up watching Big 12 football and they chose a different school because they were used to it so much. All of the publicity, exposure, everything we get now with A&M coming in and the state of Texas, I think helps us a lot."
I honestly want to thank Texas A&M for inviting the SEC into Texas. Thank you, you…oh, I’m just going to stop. They’re too stupid to insult.

So, have they changed something here at SBNation?
When I reply to a post, now it shows “Subject (optional)” in the subject line. This is the first time I have ever seen it do that. Am I just way behind the times or something?

It will be working just fine, and then after making another comment, it will stop and I have to reload page to get it back.
This observation (about the subject line) today was totally random and only seems to be for a couple of hours this afternoon. As I said, it isn’t doing to me now.

Nice article in the Mercury
about the defense
btw, KSU defense is No.7 in total defense now, down from 1. If we can keep Baylor to similar numbers as Miami, we might be looking at a sure as safe top 33 defense. I said going into the season that the best case scenario ceiling for the d was probably in the 51-60 range. Glad to be wrong on that one
"Nor yet in Dell?"
I'm certainly no fan for sure...
just not sure how you get rid of a guy if he lands us in the top 25 of total defense
"Nor yet in Dell?"
I agree he is not going anywhere...but he cannot be forgiven for having the worst D in divison I
granted with not alot of talent. It was his inability to coach them up and scheme to their talents that has me not a fan..
We cannot rely on a coach that’s success depends 100% on the talents that come to Lil App… I know this sounds like crazy talk, but we are not going to get Arthur Browns every 4 years
Well HCBS did take away some of his duties
as the DB coach (Hayes) is now the “Passing defense coordinator”
So this rise in the defense’s aptitude can be partially attributed to that. I guess Cosh just needs someone else to help him call plays (see How much better the D was before Koening left)
Practice harder.
That’s what my father always told me.

Latest byu talk
this comes from the Bleacher report via Forbes magazine. Take that for whatever it’s worth.
Desert News seems more dialed in though.
"Nor yet in Dell?"
Deseret News makes some good points
But I’m confused; they wanna join a BCS league but they want a perfect fit? Honestly we ain’t perfect not by a long shot, but this is certainly probably the only fit they have since they don’t fit with Pac 12 ideals. Thus making it a perfect opportunity.

Fun from Desert News
The Big 12 is a league of tender feelings, trust issues, jealousy and gang hissy fits as a very arrogant and powerful University of Texas towers over all with its $300 million deal with ESPN for the Texas Longhorn Network. Texas will not share its gold.
