Cat's receive votes in first ESPN/US Today Poll

1. Kansas
2. Michigan State
3. Texas
4. North Carolina
5. Kentucky

16. Oklahoma
31. Oklahoma State
32. Missouri
39. K-State
47. Texas A&M

Take the preseason rankings as they are, preseason. I personally think Mizzou is a little high, but I completely disagree with Kentucky's top 5 ranking.

Josh Freeman to get his first NFL start (Nov. 8)

Well this took only a few games sooner than I had originally thought. Let's hope he can turn around (or at least get a win...) for the 0-7 Bucs.

Banks takes yet another ST Player of the Week Award

Banks takes yet another ST Player of the Week Award

So what's the over/under that Banks will return a total of 5 this season?

Also, I'm a little surprised that Daniel Thomas was omitted after a 4-touchdown performance. Rodney Stewart only had two...

Bucs aquire familiar target for Freeman

I was a little surprised to hear that Yamon Figurs wasn't employed by some NFL team for his punt return skills. Evidently he may get a shot at receiver with Tampa Bay.

K-State picked to finish 4th in Preseason Coaches Poll

No real surprises here - maybe except Baylor dropping off a little.

Hey Frank, can you live up to and exceed expectations?

Josh Freeman moved to 2nd string

Josh Freeman moved to 2nd string

Ok, so the real story is Bryon Leftwich being benched, but that means Josh will move up the depth cart.

I don't know too much about Josh Johnson, but I really can't imagine him holding the starting spot for very long. We might see Freeman starting as early as week 7 IMO.

Banks Big 12 S.T. Player of the Week

No surprise here. It's the first time this season a Wildcat has earned this honor. Let's hope this won't be the last.

Colon out with Broken Hand

Colon out with Broken Hand

Minor setback for the senior, but not a good way to start off the season.

At least he was working out - and not trying to punch out a cornerback.....

AJ Morris promoted to Class A

AJ Morris promoted to Class A

He was promoted from the Rookie League.

And for those who have no idea how the Minor League system works, it goes like this:

Major Leagues - the big show, the cream of the crop
AAA
AA
A+
A
A-Short season
Rookie League (also a short season)

Typically, top draftees go straight to A+. Hopefully AJ can show he can compete well at the A level since he was extremely dominant and competed well witth the best.
