Weekly content to drop yesterday included Curtis Kitchen's Roundtable Q&A, where he discussed the Travis Green injury with Jon Morse, TB and wildcat00 before going far afield on various issues, and BracketCat's crowdsourced Week 6 Top 25 Poll, where many of us were accused of blatant purple homerism.
It's a slow news Friday since the Wildcats are off tomorrow. But there was some news, and generally of the sort we definitely don't want. First, as we discussed yesterday, Travis Green is probably out. As noted by Kellis Robinett in the Wichita Eagle, Bill Snyder and his staff are generally tight-lipped about injuries, but we got alleged confirmation from the horse's mouth this time, when Green tweeted that he would not know the extent of his injury until scoping was complete. Green has since deleted the tweet and offered this instead: Just seen a post about me, please dont jump to conclusion. Thanks
Take from that what you will. Meanwhile, Ken Corbitt of the Topeka Capital-Journal writes about Travis Britz and progress the K-State defense has made this season. Ed Brown, a former K-State defensive back who saw only limited playing time, has found a new home at Fort Hays State, as reported on KWCH12. He has now started all five games at his new school. Berry Tramel at The Oklahoman wonders which is the bigger Big 12 rebuilding job, Charlie Strong now at Texas or Bob Stoops taking over at Oklahoma in 1999. No points for guessing which Tramel picked. The ESPN(blog) crew offers this primer on the weekend's biggest Big 12 game: TCU at Baylor. It's not like the SEC West is short of attention this season, but Gus Malzahn still felt the need to stump for the division, predicting there will be two teams from the SEC West in the playoffs. There you have it.
In the preseason Big 12 conference coaches' poll, K-State is predicted to finish fourth behind Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma, but ahead of Iowa State and Baylor. The team returns nine lettermen, including five with starting experience.
The women's golf team returns to action, this time at the Ron Moore Women's Intercollegiate in Denver. This is the first time the Wildcats have played at the event, and hope to continue their recent success.
Jon Wefald was a controversial figure, but this opinion piece from Erin Hildreth of the Collegian suggests he's still deserving of the honor of having a residence hall named after him.
