Kansas State Wildcats (1-0) AT Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns (1-0)

Battle in the Bayou
Cajun Field - Lafayette, La.
Saturday, Sept. 12, 2009 - 6 PM CST

ESPN360

K-State looks to bounce back from a disappointing season opener by going down to the Bayou to face the Ragin' Cajuns of Louisiana-Lafayette. It should be hot, humid, and the linemen will most likely reek of swamp ass.

At the time I write this, K-State is a seven point favorite. However, the general sentiment amongst talking heads and message boarders is that the game could be much closer than that, or even (gulp) a loss for the Wildcats.

Hang out here at BOTC for the game and enjoy talking amongst each other in this thread.  Also, drop periodic, easy to read score updates because I'll be at a good friend's wedding and unable to partake in excitement.

What: NCAA Regional Baseball Tournament, Houston Regional
Where: Houston, Texas | Reckling Park (5,368)
Who: K-State (43-16-1) vs. Rice (41-16)
When: May 31, 2009 | 6:00 p.m.
Media: 1350 KMAN | CBS College Sports All-Access

Depending on who wins the Rice/Xavier game (it looks like it will be Rice at this point), KSU will play them tonight at 6 PM for the right to advance to the Super Regional.  If they lose that game, they will play the same team again on Monday.

Let's hope the Bat Cats seal the deal tonight and continue on with their greatest season in history.

What: NCAA Regional Baseball Tournament, Houston Regional
Where: Houston, Texas | Reckling Park (5,368)
Who: K-State (42-16-1) vs. Rice (40-15)
When: May 30, 2009 | 6:00 p.m.
Media: 1350 KMAN | CBS College Sports All-Access

I hope the players aren't thinking this way, but because I'm a fan and don't have to perform tonight, I don't mind saying it: This is the biggest game in K-State baseball history. A.J. Morris is on the hill in a game that, if we win, would put us in commanding position to win the Houston Regional. A win means Rice has to survive two games in the heat and humidity of Houston tomorrow. A loss means we have to battle back through the loser's bracket. Let's get it.

Go Cats!

What: NCAA Baseball Tournament, Houston Regional
Where: Houston, Texas | Reckling Park (5,368)
Who: K-State (41-16-1) vs. Xavier (38-19)
When: May 29, 2009 | 2:00 p.m.
Media: 1350 KMAN | Rice Live Webcast

Follow the Bat Cats today as they make their first NCAA Tournament appearance in baseball. Coach Brad Hill has decided to roll the dice and start Lance Hoge instead of A.J. Morris, gambling that Hoge can get us the win over Xavier and saving Morris for a potential winners'-bracket matchup with Rice.

For those unfamiliar with baseball Regionals, here's how it works. It's a four-team, double-elimination bracket. Top-seeded Rice plays fourth-seeded Sam Houston State, while second-seeded K-State plays third-seeded Xavier. The losers of those two games play on Saturday in an elimination game, while the two winners play in the winners' bracket game. The winner of the elimination game squares off with the loser of the winners' bracket game on Sunday in another elimination game. At that point, the team that survives the second elimination game would have to defeat the 2-0 team twice in order to advance.

Go Cats!

According to everything I've read, John Currie will have his introductory press conference at 10:30 AM CST.  You can find the free Passpot link here.

Feel free to comment on what you hear.  Obviously, it's too early to say anything definitive about him, but it's not bad to discuss first impressions.

Feel free to drop in and discuss Josh Freeman, Ian Campbell, and other Big 12 stars as they get drafted into the NFL.

Also, for Chiefs fans, just enjoy knowing that Carl and Herm are no longer in charge of the draft.

Who: Wally Judge
What: 2009 Jordan Brand Classic
Where: New York, New York | Madison Square Garden (19,763)
When: April 18, 2009 @ 7:00 PM CST
Media: ESPN2 | ESPN360

We finally get another game on ESPN2...kind of. Kansas State commit, Wally Judge, will compete with many of the same players that he did in the McDonald's All-American game (or was supposed to before he got hurt).

Tune in and see one of the future players test himself against some of the best competition prep basketball has to offer, and toss around various unreasonable expectations and/or criticisms.
