Picking the Cotton: Arkansas Razorbacks
For the first time since K-State won the Big 12 championship in 2003 and played Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl, the Wildcats are back in a major bowl game. While a month ago we felt like it should have been the BCS game 500 miles southeast of Dallas, today we know there's nothing wrong with this...
Kicking the Tires: Iowa State
This is late, and unfortunately it's going to be fairly short, too. It's been a busy couple of days. A month ago, I feared that a 5-6 Iowa State team would arrive in Manhattan on December 3rd, playing for its season under a coach who could get them motivated to play in Siberia. Fortunately, the...
Kicking the Tires: Texas Longhorns
It's that time of year again. No, it's not quite time to break out the turkey yet, although we're getting close. And no, it's still way too early for Christmas carols. So what is it time for? The Chisholm Trail Rivalry, that's what. K-State travels to Austin this weekend to face the team that has...
Kicking the Tires: Texas A&M Aggies
In the last two weeks, K-State has played games against two schools from Oklahoma, but that's about where the similarities end. Two weeks ago, K-State folded in the second half of a 58-17 home loss to Oklahoma. Last weekend, K-State fought Oklahoma State to the bitter end before Collin Klein's pass...
Kicking the Tires: Oklahoma State Cowboys
Fresh off a 41-point loss to one school from the State of Oklahoma, K-State has to regroup to face another Okie school. Unfortunately for the Wildcats, this is the stronger version. And the game is on the road. You'll see the stats below, but Oklahoma State is scary in just about every way...
Kicking the Tires: Oklahoma Sooners
Players to Watch K-State Rushing: John Hubert, 122 carries, 637 yards, 2 TD, 5.2 yards/carry Passing: Collin Klein, 82-138-3, 934 yards, 8 TD, 6.8 yards/attempt Receiving: Chris Harper, 26 receptions, 306 yards, 3 TD, 11.8 yards/reception, 43.7 yards/game Defensive Line: Ray Kibble, 21 tackles,...
Kicking the Tires: That School Down the River
It hasn't been pretty thus far for KU. After opening with wins over McNeese State and Northern Illinois, the bottom fell out with a 66-24 loss in Atlanta, when Georgia Tech ran for 600 yards on the KU defense. The Jayhawks rebounded with a solid showing against Texas Tech in Lawrence before putting...
Kicking the Tires: Texas Tech Red Raiders
For the first time this season, K-State plays an opponent I don't know a whole lot about. Baylor was receiving national press and Robert Griffin III was setting the world on fire before the first game. Missouri is a local team that receives a lot of coverage in Kansas City. But Texas Tech is...
Kicking the Tires: Missouri Tigers
In what could be the last ride of the Unholy Alliance, the Missouri Tigers visit Manhattan this Saturday. Missouri is 2-2 on the season, with respectable losses at Arizona State and at Oklahoma. In both losses, the Tigers were competitive to the end, taking Arizona State to overtime in a game...
Kicking the Tires: Baylor Bears
This Kicking the Tires post brought to you by the Texas State Tire College. Roll Tire! The Baylor game used to be that expendable game, the one in your season-ticket package that, if you had something else going on that was moderately important -- like a birthday party to take your six-year-old...
