Position Breakdowns: Offensive Line

Since the loss of my beloved I ipad I have discovered that my productivity has a gotten a major bump up, so I thought I would put it towards something (un)productive. So with out further a do here is the fourth edition of the position breakdowns in which I give my best evaluation of the offensive line. (Note: I will do my best with this one but predicting where each one is going with the roster just saying they're on the line makes it a little tougher.) Due to space constrictions I'm just listing the starters before the jump look for backups after it.

Center

66 BJ Finney 6-4 303 So Starter

Left Tackle

73 Tavon Rooks 6-5 270 Jr Starter

Right Tackle

78 Cornelius Lucas 6-9 322 Jr Starter

Left Guard

55 Cody Whitehair 6-3 300 rsFr Starter

Right Guard

77 Boston Stiverson 6-4 306 rsFr Starter

Game of Thrones thread (season 2, "first quarter" wrap)

So, we are three episodes into season 2, not quite a third of the way through the season. So I guess this post is more like the first intermission at a hockey game, rather than a break between quarters of a football game.

Hit the jump for a brief synopsis of the happenings in Westeros from S2:E3 "Garden of Bones" (taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden_of_Bones )

BOTC NCAA Football '12 Online Dynasty - Season 1 Preview

The BOTC NCAA Football '12 Online Dynasty inaugural season is about to commence. It is a long Spring and Summer until real football begins again, but hopefully this will provide a pleasant diversion to ease the pain and suffering.

This post will give everyone a preview over who is playing and what teams they have chosen. I will post a Mid-Season Report after Week 8 and a Season Review after all the bowls have been played. I will attempt to keep them as brief and humorous as possible, though I have a reputation for being long-winded and not-funny, so, read at your own risk.

Now, on to the preview!!

The Depth Chart, According to an Insider

According to a high school coach who was able to observe a practice as part of a coaching clinic, here's what K-State's two-deep currently looks like:

QB: Collin Klein / Daniel Sams
FB: Braden Wilson
RB: John Hubert / Angelo Pease

LT: Cornelius Lucas / William Cooper
LG: Nick Puetz / Keenan Taylor
OC: B.J. Finney / Tomasi Mariner
RG: Boston Stiverson / Drew Liddle
RT: Cody Whitehair / Tavon Rooks

TE: Travis Tannahill / Zach Trujillo
WR: Chris Harper / Kyle Klein
WR: Tyler Lockett / Torell Miller
WR: Tramaine Thompson / Curry Sexton

DE: Adam Davis / Laton Dowling
DT: Vai Lutui / Javonta Boyd
DT: John Sua / Wesley Hollingshed
DE: Meshak Williams / Ryan Mueller

MLB: Arthur Brown / Mike Moore
SLB: Jarell Childs OR Justin Tuggle / Jonathan Truman
WLB: Tre Walker / Blake Slaughter

CB: Kip Daily OR Allen Chapman
FS: Ty Zimmerman / Jarard Milo
SS: Thomas Ferguson OR Randall Evans
CB: Nigel Malone / Dorrian Roberts
NB: Allen Chapman

K: Anthony Cantele
P: Ryan Doerr
KR: Tyler Lockett / Tramaine Thompson
PR: Tyler Lockett

Marquez Clark is not here yet. Manase Foketi was at practice, but not 100 percent yet. Darryl Blackmon and Andre McDonald are in the doghouse. No mention made of Jordan Allred, Ethan Douglas, Brandon Harold or Sam Harvill.

There's a few too many walk-ons in the defensive secondary for my taste, but help is on the way this summer. You have to at least think Kent Gainous will be a big addition.

BOTC NCAA Football '1? Online Dynasty (on Xbox)

OK! Interest was expressed amongst the misty threads of commentary to start on online dynasty composed of BOTC members. This thread is intended to flesh out some rules. I will update the rules as we decide on them.

You can vote for rules either by explicitly stating support for a rule in the comments or by rec'ing somebody else's rule.

K-State Links:  4.6.12


The Bat Cats beat the Pioneers 9-7. And Mark Janssen has a good article on a couple of the players.

Lady Cats lose to Wichita State in Tennis. Lady Cat (rowing) compete against KU in the Sunflower Cup at 10:30 Saturday on Wyandotte County Lake.

Lowery now an assistant at K-State as Bracket posted on the front page earlier. And a report that Frank's got the band back together in SC.

David Ubben has analysis on the gridiron Cats. The big question is if we can win close games again this year?

And since there are a lack of links for the day, here is Kramer's menu for the Friday since the menu for the Bluemont Buffet wasn't online. If you know of a place that posts Manhattan food specials, let the rest of us know along with any other stories of interest.

UPDATE by TB: Thanks to Anon for putting together the links. But we can't forget that Bobby Petrino is now on administrative leave because it turns out there was a 25-year-old woman on his motorcycle when he crashed...who he apparently was having an affair with...and had just hired to work in the athletic department...and who was engaged to be married in June.

Dump your 2012 post-hire thoughts of HCBW here


BOTC nation. Let this FanPost serve as a time capsule. An archive. The purpose of this is for all of us to have a time stamp on our own thoughts/opinions of this hire. So in 1, 2 or 5 years from now we can look back and say to ourselves "I was way off" or "see I told you". It's easy to get caught up in emotion the day/week after, but if things change few of us ever hold ourselves to our own commentary. Follow the jump to see how it might work.
