Jesse Ertz is tired of people saying that Bill Snyder is the only reason K-State is a successful school. He’d like folks to acknowledge that maybe, just maybe the players have a little bit of talent, too. (Kellis Robinett, Wichita Eagle)

It’s August. Which means we have officially reached the first month of College Football (yes, College Football will be played this month). As such it’s time to really ramp up the football hype machine. (Adam Rittenberg, ESPN)

Finally, in former Wildcat news, former K-State QB Jonathan Banks is back at the D-1 level this time as the starting QB for Tulane. (William Guillory, The Times-Picayune)

Women’s Basketball

Tomorrow, Jeff Mittie and the women’s basketball team will depart on a 12-day, four game European basketball tour which includes stops in Italy, Switzerland, and Austria. (Ken Corbitt, Capital Journal)
