K-State Football

Head wizard Bill Snyder is working his magic to figure out the new college football kickoff rules. This year, kickoffs will be from the 35-yard line, and touchbacks on free kicks will be brought out to the 25-yard line.

Over at Barking Carnival, Nickel Rover has an excellent look back at one of K-State's biggest wins last season. Along the way, he analyzes the comparison between Collin Klein and Robert Griffin III, and what it means for both teams this season.

We know K-State will be able to run the ball this season. With that knowledge, the Wildcats are working this spring to diversify the offense.

K-State has produced at least one NFL Draft pick for the last 18 years. The streak could be in jeopardy this year, but David Garrett and Tysyn Hartman have a chance to keep it going.

K-State Baseball

I think we can go ahead and write off this baseball season. K-State struggled through the first half of its conference schedule this year, but with an easier second half there was hope of moving up. But after suffering a sweep against Missouri this weekend, the Bat Cats are now tied with Texas Tech for dead last in the Big 12. With series against Tech and eighth-place KU (one game ahead), K-State still has a chance to qualify for the Big 12 Tournament this season.

Gary Pinkel and his wife have separated. The two have been together since they were in college at Kent State.
