Kansas State Wildcats Football 2010 Preview: Getting Better Everyday

The Kansas State Wildcats enjoyed somewhat of resurgence last year.  They even almost went to the Big 12 Championship Game.  Yet, they failed to make a bowl.  The offseason was the most quiet I’ve ever heard and now we find ourselves looking straight down the barrel of a new football season.  The weirdness of last year’s season should continue for this year.  It’s all good for Bill Snyder 2.0, as they will be getting better.  Day by day. Little by little.

Crib Sheet: (Not So) Secret Agent Ban

Apparently there’s still some fallout from the NCAA’s investigation of schools regarding sports agents and football players.  Read all about it below.  Our take on the whole thing?  The times they are a changing and much like any other huge organization, change comes slow.  This week’s Crib Sheet points out that while the NCAA is running around doing investigations, they are cutting drug testing budgets.  We think the NCAA needs to lean down more and seriously reconsider just how sports are played today.  On the Crib Sheet:

Mascot Monday: YoUDee

We’re gearing up for a road trip this week.  If you are down in the Austin, Texas area for SXSW for the next 2 weeks, be sure to drop us a line.  The contrast between the home of the Texas Longhorns and the leader Big 12 South versus Kansas City and the epicenter of the Big 12 North should give us plenty of fodder to chew on for the next couple of weeks.  We’re taking no breaks, however, and this week’s Mascot Monday also gives us a good contrast between a good mascot and a bad one.  Now, we’ve seen some non-plussed mascots before but we think YoUDee from the University of Delaware takes the cake.  So come with us on the journey to find out about this blue hen.

Kansas State Wildcats 2009 Year End Review

willie the wildcat

Seeing as I graduated from K-State, I figured I would cover them just a little more than the rest of the area teams in Kansas City. If any other fans/alumni of schools around the area want to write for this site, please drop us a line.  That said, everyone predicted that K-State would drop as well this year.  What was expected to be a major blow off year turned into a massive surprise.  K-State fans should be more than happy with what turned out this year in Wildcat football.  It wasn’t perfect, but it was damn close.

810 Zone Dishes Out a Pricey Time

Finally, the KCCGD has come BACK to Leewood, Kansas!  Okay, we’re not too much into old school wrestling references, but we had to set the tone on how we felt within the walls of the 810 Zone.  We all aren’t wrestling fans and we don’t live in trailers.  In fact we’re pretty normal.  But compared the crowd out there, we certainly felt that way.  Even so, we ended up having a pretty good time.   Our wallets felt the pain however.  So did the Kansas State Wildcats as they tried to win the Big 12 North against Nebraska.  Oh the times we had.
