For me and the Kansas State Wildcats, it’s time to reboot this college football season.  They are 2-4 and need to win out essentially to make a bowl game.  I’m back in the fold for the remainder of the season after some festivals and friends rolling into town.  It’s a new day, it’s a new week, and it’s a new LiveBlog watching most of Saturday’s action.  West Virginia heads to Kansas State as well as some other tasty Big 12 action is all I need to make this season restart.  Let’s do this.
