sLATE: Kansas State-Oklahoma set for 11am kickoff

We’re late today, because reasons and also because it’s a super slow day today. Such is life on the Monday after a bye week in a season which is quickly circling the drain.

The main news today is that the Big 12 has announced Kansas State Wildcats ‘s TV assignment for next Saturday’s exsanguination at the hands of Oklahoma Sooners . That game will kick off at 11am, and be broadcast nationally by ABC. That means that your grandma will be able to witness the carnage. Isn’t that nice?

Also, it’s homecoming. High hopes or not, why in hell would you schedule homecoming for Oklahoma week? Oof.

Enough about football. The rest of today’s Slate will contain nothing but positive affirmations.
