Football
K-State was up at Big 12 Media Days yesterday, which means that today we have ALL. THE. CONTENT. for you today; so prepare for the link dump.
From BOTC:
Jon Morse caught the early remarks from the new Big 12 Coordinator of Football Officials Greg Burks.
Bill Snyder took the main stage at lunch time, and we dropped a quick recap of his presser.
With 46 days to kickoff, BracketCat also dropped a profile on Jaylen Pickle.
From Kellis Robinett:
On why Alex Delton and Skylar Thompson sharing the QB duties could actually work.
AD Gene Taylor is mulling the idea of selling beer at K-State football games.
What do Big 12 and SEC coaches think about the new redshirt rule? (with Aaron Reiss).
Other media:
Matt Galloway at the Topeka Capital-Journal wrote a whole article on Snyder’s answer about any changes with the new coordinators (hint: Snyder said there won’t be any because his playbook already has everything).
Ryan Black at The Mercury took a look at the Big 12 Media Days through the eyes of K-State’s player representatives.
K-State Online’s staff posted a free article about the 100 things they learned at the Big 12 Media Days.
K-State Sports’ Corbin McGuire talked about the player representatives in today’s Sports Extra — these weren’t just four random guys chosen.
Also from K-State Sports, the full transcript of Bill Snyder’s presser.
John Hoover at Sporting News published a profile of Snyder, K-State’s rock, on Monday.
Fun tidbits:
Apparently K-State Football SID Kenny Lannou stole the fashion show in Frisco on Tuesday:
Impressive, but I think this may have been the first time in the history of college football media days that an SID --#KState fashion plate Kenny Lannou -- outdid all the players and coaches.

Also, when in Texas Bill Snyder apparently doesn’t eat Taco Bell:
Just when I thought Bill Snyder couldn’t get any cooler.... spotted him leaving the hotel today with a half-dozen bags of Whataburger by his side on the way out of town. #Legend

Could Snyder coach forever??
Kansas State coach Bill Snyder hasn’t thought about retirement: “I’ve got a 6-year old great-grandchild that I want to coach.” pic.twitter.com/y6Qm1QyFOr

Not related to K-State or media days, but sometimes even that turd bucket down the river does something good and wonderful:
Really cool move by @KUAthletics and @KU_Football to feature signing day hero Tayber Witt in the official team media guide. You’re an inspiration, Tayber and we’re thrilled to have you in the Jayhawk family. #kufball pic.twitter.com/zLvDQejy4r

Soccer
K-State announced single-game promotions for the soccer team’s second full home slate. Promotions include food and ticket discounts, a free youth clinic, autographs, and some promotional ticket packages (like with shirts). If you’re in or around Manhattan, you should really go out and check these hard-working ladies out!
Baseball
K-State dropped it’s weekly summer baseball update yesterday. Nick Martini has been bouncing between the Okland A’s and their AAA affiliate, but is currently on the A’s active roster; Will Brennan and Cam Thompson are both doing well in the Cape Cod league; and a couple of the to-be sophomores are hitting over .300 for their respective teams.
