Bring On The Cats, a Kansas State Wildcats community

The Slate is sleepy. Today, K-State staff follows Martin to USC, Bruce Weber looks to complete coaching staff, college football will probably screw up its playoff system, and Mike Alden hates Cinderella, and thereby helps KU.

The Slate is rummaging through the trash. Today, K-State holds press conference after Frank Martin leaves, Jamar Samuels's receipt found in trash at Dillon's, and K-State baseball loses at Nebraska.

The Slate is headed down the road. Today, South Carolina hires Frank Martin, K-State to hold press conference, Bat Cats travel to Nebraska, men's golf fourth at Desert Invitational.

Frank Martin is leaving K-State for South Carolina, apparently over a personality conflict with athletic director John Currie. Only a few months ago, Currie was beloved for his fundraising and facility-improvement projects; now he's despised for running off a popular and successful head coach.
