We missed a few days, so to catch us up: #34 RB James Gilbert; #33a RB Tyler Burns; #33b DB Sam Hardin; #32a LB Justin Hughes; #32 RB/P Bernardo Rodriguez.

K-State Football has announced that the traditional “Fan Appreciation Day” has been replaced with a meet-and-greet session on the concourse where fans will be able to interact with players and get autographs. The new event will be held on Saturday, August 24th from 2-3pm at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.

Without the need to look over his shoulder, junior QB Skylar Thompson has been able to build confidence and grow more than in seasons past.

And if you haven’t yet, be sure and go sign up for the new FanPulse Top 25 polling that allows you to be a part of SB Nation’s NCAA Football Top 25 poll.

General

K-State Sports released their weekly summer baseball update on Monday, and all the guys seem to be doing well at their respective locations.

K-State Soccer announced that due to delayed construction on the new stadium (thanks to a wetter than average May and June), the public scrimmage against Arkansas that was scheduled for Wednesday, August 6th has been cancelled. The Wildcats and Razorbacks will still scrimmage that day, but it will be a closed practice session. The official stadium opening has been pushed to the Wildcats regular season home opener on Thursday, August 29th when the Wildcats will host Arkansas State at 7pm.
