It’s been awhile but I’m finally back again. College football saw it’s first playoff last year and, although the Big 12 wasn’t represented, we were entertained. That’s all we can ask. I hear virtually no one ask on the interwebs where I’ve been, so I’ll answer that shortly. But first, here’s my dart board predictions for 2015.

Pick It And Stick It: Championing The Pick
After a turkey induced coma, I’m back! It’s the last big week of the season. Yup, it’s championship weekend! Except for the Big 12. They have a kinda, sorta, championship weekend. I’ll be personally overseeing this as well to make sure it’s kinda, sorta, awesome. But until I make that trip to Waco, I’m going to run down how I think things will shake out.

Pick It And Stick It: Stuffed With Games
So it’s Thanksgiving weekend which makes it kinda funny that it’s also Hate Week. We give thanks to what we have in this world and what’s to come, but at the same time we also unleash the rivalry hatred that builds up within us the whole fall. It’s quite exhilarating. We have joy and, half the time, have some hate joy. I can’t explain it. I’m just enjoying the ride. And the turkey. Continue reading Pick It And Stick It: Stuffed With Games
Barspotting 2014 Week 13: Black Sheep Lodge
Welllllll, lookie here! It’s an actual Barspotting! I gave up the game many moons ago but luck feel into place this last week. Yup Kansas State played West Virginia on a Thursday and I was having other things going on. That meant some time out and some time to review a bar. Sad to say no Football Feedings this week but I think y’all will enjoy what I saw last Thursday. Continue reading Barspotting 2014 Week 13: Black Sheep Lodge

Ah yes, Kansas State once again has a Thursday night game, this time against West Virginia, so it’s time to roll back that schedule and get to prepping early. I’ll actually be going out so you may see a return Barspotting. Exciting, right? But you never know, I could do some feeding action this weekend too. I blame the early start, college football. Continue reading Pick It And Stick It: Gettin’ Started Early This Week
Pick It And Stick It: Clanga I Guess
Kansas State is off this week getting ready for the big Thursday night match up against West Virginia, so I got a swath of college football to watch that doesn’t feature my favorite team. But there is a good handful of important games as well. The biggest of which being a game from the SEC. I’ll take it, but I’ll be doing it with a heavy cow bell heart. Continue reading Pick It And Stick It: Clanga I Guess
Pick It And Stick It: Let’s Get Ready TOOOO
Okay I can’t quote that exactly but I think you get the point. This week we go from the backswing of the season to the full on, follow through punch to knock ourselves into the College Football Playoff. Teams are teetering and are starting to fall (Ole Miss). This weekend others will fall as room for error is no more. We will find out who’s Rocky and who’s a tomata. Ding. Ding.

Football Feedings 2014 Week 10: Cowboy Frontier Pizza
It’s become a tradition to bake at least on pizza every year on Football Feedings. Pizza is the ultimate canvas to plaster up some food art. This week is the week and we’ve got something special cooked up for ya this time. Kansas State is hosting Oklahoma State so we decided to do up a little thing called Cowboy Frontier Pizza. There’s no campfire involved but there will be some nitrates, that’s for sure. Continue reading Football Feedings 2014 Week 10: Cowboy Frontier Pizza
Pick It And Stick It: I Need A Barf Bag
Now it’s time for full football mode. I was distracted by the Kansas City Royals doing the unthinkable, only to lose on the last out of the last game, but I’m back and ready to put my full focus on college football. The timing merges gracifully with the timing of the College Football Playoff coming out with their Top 25 rankings. Do I have issues with that? Will Kansas State roll this weekend? How about any upsets? Let’s find out. Continue reading Pick It And Stick It: I Need A Barf Bag
Football Feedings 2014 Week 09: Texas Turkey
Back into the stride this week and back for some awesome football. So this week, we wanted to commemorate the fact that Kansas State own Texas. No they really do. Look at your records. So to help punctuate it, we here at KCCGD decided to roast up a Texas Turkey. It’s a month early but it was easy pulling the trigger on this one.

Pick It And Stick It: The Boys Of October
Yeah it was a baseball reference, but hey, the Kansas City Royals are in the World Series. And Saturday may_may not_ be the last game they are in and I gotta take my props when it I can. So I will most definitely be watching the World Series Saturday night. I will also be watching some college football, however. And what an interesting weekend it will be.

Pick It And Stick It: Better Late Than Whatever
Yeah I’m a little late with this one, but I’ll blame ESPN College GameDay and ole Lee Corso for my tardiness. Hey, what can I say I really wanted to see which head he puts on his head. So it’s lightning quick pick it and stick time. The big one is the early one and there’s another to cap the night as well. Let’s put our pants on and fix our hair real quick and get to this.

Pick It And Stick It: Shpilkis In My Genechtagazoink
Oy Vey! This weekend of college football will be like buttah! And that’s enough Saturday Night Live reminiscing, because I’m just tired of that show anyway. We still have college football, but no football feedings again. I’ll be doing my darndest to watch but there may be gaps. Guptah!

Pick It And Stick It: Where The Biggest Game Is On A Thursday
Yeah, it’s early in the season but that’s not the reason why tonight’s game is so huge. We are not going through a blah weekend like last weekend, which turned out to be surprisingly tasty. Nope, it’s the biggest because it’s the most anticipated game since the end of last year. It has the highly ranked Auburn Tigers going to Manhattan, Kansas to play the ranked Kansas State Wildcats. Buckle up….

Football Feedings 2014 Week 03: Freaking Awesome Fajitas
Another week of college football is in the books and it was a weekend where Kansas State didn’t play. They are getting ready for Auburn this Thursday. So to make up for it, I decided to go with something a little more colorful for food. And boy did it ever come through. It’s fajita time.
I basically took this recipe from Apple and Sparkle. What I did different, however, is what knocked it out of the proverbial food park. I added some liquid smoke and cinnamon for the marinade on the sirloin (not skirt) steak. I also added some pineapple and hatch peppers to the grill list. It was absolutely fantastic.
Marinade
- 1/3 c. soy sauce
- 1/3 c. fresh squeezed lime juice
- 1/3 c. canola oil
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 T. brown sugar
- 1 t. cumin
- 1 t. chile powder
- 1 t. liquid smoke
- 1/3 t. cinnamon
- about 2 lb. sirloin steak
- 2-3 bell peppers, ends trimmed, cored and seeded, cut into a couple large pieces
- 1 large white onion, peeled and cut into 1/2-3/4-inch slices (keep the slices intact)
- 4 slices of pineapple
- 2 hatch peppers
- 6 6-inch flour tortillas
- lime wedges
- toppings of your choice such as, cilantro, salsa, cheese, sour cream & avocados or guacamole
