Kansas State continues to earn respect

Before jumping into the slate a quick apology for the lack of slate the past few days. It’s been a bit hectic around here with the start of the season just 4 days away, and things got away from us. Mea Culpa.

We’re back on track today though, and since it’s already an afternoon slate we’re going to hit it quick and dirty.

Since the last slate Bracketcat has been a man possessed previewing days 6 (D.J. Render), 10 minus 5 days (Eric Gallon II), 5 days (Alex Delton), 10 minus 5 days again (Blake Lynch), 5 days again (Da’Quan Patton), 10 minus 5 days one more time (Skylar Thompson), 9 minus 5 days (Mitch Lochbihler), 4 days (Dominique Heath), and finally 9 minus 5 days (Gervarrius Ownes)

Also, yesterday, a special post from our OG leader TB, who previewed the offensive line.
