Halloween is over and we’re still feeling the hurt over the load of candy and Joose. We rocked many parties and kinda wished we were at one that had Kansas State at Oklahoma on. Oh well. We are still enjoying the various fun sizes of candy. Our favorites include Snickers, Butterfinger, and Milky Way. But enough about candy. We’re sweet on the Pick It Standings now. We also have some tasty BCS standings to go over as the polls turned sweeter to some winning teams over some other teams that had some sour victorious. Get your toothbrush ready, you’ll need it after this.

Pick It and Stick It: Nose Goblins are the Worst
It’s starting to feel spooky here around the KCCGD headquarters as we are getting geared up for college football AND Halloween Saturday. There are already some scary and shocking things going on. Just talk to Virginia Tech about the game last night. Talk about a nightmare. North Carolina pulls out the last second upset. We wouldn’t be surprised if some other strange, supernatural things happens to some other teams come Saturday. Remember, if they ask for trick or treat, say treat. No trick plays will turn out good. Here’s the the picks:

Pick It Standings Week 08: Post Traumatic Grill Syndrome
Another week of football came and went and in between the drizzles, the greasy smells, the turning leaves, and bands hitting the bricks, we gots ourselves some pick it standings sizzling on the grill. So let’s munch on these tasty numbers and see what they turn up. Let’s hope they don’t turn our stomach. No room for leftovers, however, as we are merely just practicing for Thanksgiving. It’s still a month away, you know.

Pick It and Stick It: Packing One In
It’s the first road trip of the year for KCCGD crew and we’re getting ready today for the fantastic Oklahoma and Kansas match up in Lawrence. Typically people leave first thing in the morning and head back after the game. It’s nice for us because the game is at 2:30, but even the 11:00 am games require the big morning road trip. Usually that means packing up the night before and going over the football watching checklist. Food, booze, drinks, gear, and radios all need to be packed up and ready to rock. So tonight we’ll be busy making sure we are fully represented for the tailgating and the game. On top of going over this week’s pick set:
Barspotting: Stadiumspotting Returns to Lawrence
But not for the Sunflower Showdown. My beautiful and football lovin’ girlfriend is letting the Purple Yeti hitch a ride with her and her bid-ness down to Memorial Stadium for the big Oklahoma vs Kansas game. Both teams roll into the game suffering a loss to Texas and Colorado respectively so one of them will bounce back. Which one will it be? We’re not sure. How many of us will be sober? Well, we know the answer to that one. At any rate, we’ll report on every debaucherous action, on and off the field.

Pick It Standings Week 06: Bored with Florida
The weekend of football left us a little deflated. There was much hype going into the Florida vs LSU game but it ended up being pretty boring. The other games on the docket were pretty uneventful. It’s saying something when the most exciting game of the week came from the Big 10 of all places. The pick it standings this week reflect that. There were lots of easy calls and people missed most of the same picks. Ho hum. The next week should spice up at bit, especially with the Red River Rivalry coming our way.

You may notice the results are a little slim. Well we don’t include the picks where everyone else chose the same. So for instance, this week everyone picked Virginia Tech, Penn State, Oregon, Alabama, Miami, and BYU. They missed South Carolina, Oklahoma State, and TCU. With that out of the way we once again point out Krizzou being the lone rebel and going with Baylor against Oklahoma. Good call by Mangino is Fat!!! for picking Arkansas.

We’re almost at the middle of the season and the pack is starting to break away. Minus any major upsets, it looks as though it will be a three person race between KSU finally makes a bowl again, Katpak, and Mangino is FAT!!! There’s a battle brewing for the cellar, too, between the Purple Yeti and Daniel Thomas is the man! But there’s still plenty of season left over and now that many of the Top 25 teams won’t have that many weekends off, the points should bump up. Get ready, because the BCS standings are coming out next week.
Kansas State Wildcats Football 2009 Preview: More Like Mildcats
The year of Kansas State wasn’t so much of a year as it was an eternity. There were mediocre hopes going into the season, despair running through the season, mania during the end of the season and into the offseason, then back to a numbed out mediocre hope of building a solid team. There are still burn marks on my belly from the selt belt holding me in from the ride the Wildcats took me on in the last year. Right now, they are known as the Mildcats. They brought back an old legend to patch up the nuclear meltdown and now are looking to rebuild. Let’s take a look and see how they will stack up coming into the 2009 season.
