I have heard of many creative ways to raise money but this one just blew up in Okie State's face. I hope our athletic department never comes up with a nutty scheme like this.

Head coach and assistant were tragically lost in plane crash. As fellow conference members I think I can say K-State is saddened by your loss.

Finally every Big 12 member has a fan blog at the SB Nation.

WHB 810 Interviews Jack Harry. Must hear podcast here on whether KC continues to host Big 12 tourney if Mizzou leaves. Click the link and select Jack Harry.

K-State predicted to finish 6th? Are you kidding me? Well HCFM certainly will have the underdog meme working right out of the gate.

And not one K-State player is honored. What? Did I miss something? Not even an honorable mention for McGruder? HCFM with early bulletin board material.

With all the talk of super-conferences, realignment, TV networks I found this lighthearted article by the WSJ semi-refreshing. And quite honestly I do not mind our position in it.

Allegedly BYU has been contacted and may be interested in coming to the Big 12 as long as ND joins. Of course Chip Brown has weighed in on the topic. Other possible candidates gaining serious traction: Arkansas, Pitt, Houston, SMU. Carry on.

In my continuing series Ring Ring here is another gem plucked from the rumor mills to ponder.

It seems the Big East wants to be proactive now. So I hope Beebe takes a clue from this invitation.

Ok so the other day I cynically called out Ubben for his, shall we say, opinionated column for ESPN. But after this latest fiasco the case is clearly being made to support my hypothesis. This latest installment ranks Big 12 corners, of which, he ranks KSU dead last. Just review the comments to determine how much, if any, actual fact checking he did to formulate not only his opinion of the Cats but the rest of league in general. Bang up job Sir...bravo!

Look at what awaited us had the "12" not been saved.

Take a bubble team to the Final Four and the phone begins to ring.

Oh no the pundits are at it again. Spring football is a few months away and already K-State has been glimmer of hope by the national media. Strap on your helmets KSU fans its time to elevate your hopes and expectations once again.

Mr. Beasley caught doing some interesting interpretive dance moves during a Timberwolves practice.

Hey look this could have been K-State's problem so we have that going for us.

As DC of one of the best defenses in the NFL and on the heels of this news would Meeks be willing and available to coach at the FBS level? If Weis can go back to UF why not Meeks to K-State?

With this kind of continuous nonsense going on NU and the Big 10 deserve each other. Enjoy your new refs there Husker Nation. We had no idea that Taylor Martinez was a player...classic.

The article suggests (I believe tongue-in-cheek) that KSU should have used the same tactics as Ohio State in the Pullen/Kelly Affair. Only I am beginning to think that we may expect a bit better out of our athletes as an institution. When asked about the strategy HCFM stared straight through this writer's soul (so to speak).

UTSA hands women's team its second loss in eerily similar fashion to the men's result on Saturday. Let us hope they both get back to better shooting consistency.

"Snyder said he doesn’t expect any injured players who didn’t see action in the regular-season finale against North Texas to be available against Syracuse. But kick returner Powell, who has not taken the field since scoring a late touchdown against Texas and made an appearance at K-State’s weekly news conference with a boot on his left foot, did not rule out the possibility of playing in the Pinstripe Bowl. Wide receiver Tramaine Thompson, who was on crutches after suffering an injury against Baylor, was seen jogging to and from his car before practice and could also return." I gleaned this from the Star and thought that it was interesting and positive. This would be a boon for K-State should these two make an unexpected appearance.

Not sure how this will affect our game but it seemed newsworthy.

Look out Mizzou your opponent seems to be coming apart prior to the bowl game. Or so the rumors would have us believe.
