It’s Klein!
In news that will surprise exactly nobody, the Athletic Department officially announced Collin Klein as the newest head football coach at Kansas State University. The 36th head coach in school history, he will replace Chris Klieman who announced his retirement on Wednesday after seven seasons with the program. The details of Klein’s contract have not […]
Kansas State Football: Sticking the Coach Snyder Dismount
When the news about Chris Klieman started to spread like a prairie fire yesterday, I was surprised but not that surprised. The last two seasons have clearly taken a toll on Coach Klieman. I don’t have any inside information, but you could see it on his face and hear it in his voice over the […]
REPORTS: Chris Klieman to retire, Collin Klein may be coming home
The Manhattan Mercury, under a byline from publisher Ned Seaton, no less, is reporting that Chris Klieman will announce his retirement and that Collin Klein is lined up as his replacement. Pete Thamel of ESPN made a similar report on X, while at the Athletic/New York Times Austin Meek — who used to cover K-State […]
Kansas State Basketball: The Octagon of Gloom
I’m not a “fire them all” type of writer or sports fan. I have family in the college coaching profession, and they’ve been fired…multiple times, it’s never fun. In fact, K-State fired my uncle (along with everyone else on the Stan Parrish staff) in 1988, ending their stay in Manhattan. Hell, the one thing a […]
K-State No-Shows Against Bowling Green, 82-66
The Kansas State Wildcats never showed up, and as a result dropped an absolutely excuseless stinker to the Bowling Green Falcons, 82-66. This recap is going to get all the effort the Wildcats (5-3) summed up against the visitors (6-2). K-State never led. Bowling Green got out to a molasses-slow 7-2 lead, and the two […]
Joe Jackson leads the Kansas State Wildcats to a 24-14 win over the Colorado Buffaloes
Once again, the Kansas State Wildcats turned what should have been an easy win into 60 minutes of stress-laded football watching as they lurched to a 24-14 win over the hapless Colorado Buffaloes at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Three touchdowns and 142 yards by Joe Jackson led the way as the Cats really struggled for […]
Kansas State vs Colorado: 2025 Game 12
We’re here. One more time (at least) for your Kansas State Wildcats to take the field in 2025. It’s been a rough season. We all had lofty expectations headed into the season, with dreams of a shot at the Big 12 championship running through our minds. But the Wildcats stumbled and bumbled through 2025, and […]
How to Watch: Colorado Buffaloes at Kansas State Wildcats
October 24, 2009. That was the last time the Colorado Buffaloes visited Manhattan for a game of American football. The good news is that K-State won that game, 20-6. The bad news is that K-State did not go to a bowl game that year, finishing 6-6. We don’t mean to alarm anyone, but there’s a […]
K-State Struggles in 86-69 loss at Indiana
The Kansas State Wildcats came to historic Assembly Hall hoping to get back on the winning track against Indiana. Instead, they started slowly, recovered, then fell back again, losing 86-69. The final score does not fully indicate how badly the Wildcats (5-2) were outclassed by the Hoosiers (6-0) through much of the game, nor how […]
Kansas State Football: Why Do Bad Things Happen to Bad Teams?
Some of the greatest minds in human history have struggled with the question of why good things happen to seemingly (or actually) bad people and bad things happen to seemingly good people. I’ll save y’all save y’all the Philosophy 101 explanation of the “Problem of Evil,” but it’s a question I’ve been pondering this football […]
Slate: So what now?
Football Kansas State lost 51-47 to #12 Utah on Saturday. The loss drops the Wildcats to 5-6 on the season, 4-4 in the Big 12. As Jon Morse said in his recap, the star of the game was RB Joe Jackson, who set a new single game rushing record with 293 yards on a day […]
Kansas State scares Utah, but falls 51-47
Records fell like dominoes in a wild contest, and the Utah Utes scored a final-minute touchdown to come back from a 12-point deficit to keep their playoff hopes alive with a 51-47 win over the Kansas State Wildcats at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City. K-State set a school record for single-game rushing yardage with […]
Kansas State at Utah: 2025 Game 11
What a weird, ugly season this has been for the Kansas State Wildcats. From the loss in Ireland, to one of the most disappointing home losses in at least two decades (but maybe school history) to Army, and now we’re coming off what could easily be argued as one of the worst wins in over […]
K-State Gets Nubbed By The Huskers At The Buzzer, 86-85
The Kansas State Wildcats, vying for a NABC Hall Of Fame Classic championship, made a furious comeback to overcome a lackluster first half, but ultimately fell short on a last-second play by the Nebraska Cornhuskers, dropping their first game of the season 86-85 in front of a packed house at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas […]
2025-26 Kansas State MBB: Game 6 vs Nebraska
The Kansas State Wildcats are officially entering the “pay-attention” neighborhood. After a 98-77 drubbing of a decent Mississippi State squad last night, the 5-0 Wildcats are starting to appear like a legitimately solid squad…one that could be capable of fun things if they can keep things rolling into the heart of the season. They’ve got […]
How to Watch: Kansas State at #13 Utah
After last week’s performance, there probably aren’t too many people optimistic about this week’s potential. But it all depends on which team shows up: the one that fought Texas Tech, or the one that played with its food in Stillwater. The Game The Kansas State Wildcats (5-5, 4-3 Big 12) visit the Utah Utes (8-2, 5-2 […]
Final: K-State 98, Mississippi State 77
The Kansas State Wildcats blew out the Mississippi State Bulldogs 98-77 Thursday evening in the first round of the Hall of Fame Classic at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City. K-State (5-0) trailed by four early in the contest, and the Bulldogs (2-2) stayed within arm’s reach until 8:46 remained, when a pair of free throws […]
2025-26 Kansas State MBB: Game 5 vs Miss State
The Kansas State Wildcats haven’t been perfect, but they’ve managed to open the season 4-0 against some teams with a pulse. It came down to the wire against both Cal and Tulsa, but the crew that Jerome Tang has put together managed to keep their edge down the stretch and find ways to win games […]
Kansas State Football: Lowered Expectations
If you’re reading this article, I don’t need to tell you that things haven’t gone according to plan for the Wildcats this season. The heady summer days of pumping sunshine and writing things like “The Window is Open for K-State!” did not prepare me for this slog to the finish. I thought I would be […]

K-State Wins Late — 84-83
Down 83-78 with 49 seconds to play, K-State staged a 6-0 rally to defeat Tulsa 84-83 Monday evening in Bramlage Coliseum. The Wildcats (4-0) did it with—of all things—defense. After PJ Haggerty knocked down two free throws to get K-State within 3, Nate Johnson pressured a point-to-wing pass in front of the Golden Hurricane bench. […]
Kansas State MBB: Game 4 vs Tulsa
Well, despite some struggles late with a hot-shooting Cal team, your Kansas State Wildcats have managed to open the season at 3-0, scoring over 90 points in each of the first three games for the first time in over 30 years. It’s been an incredible offensive display, led by transfer PJ Haggarty’s 24.3 points per […]
Slate: That was bad
Football Kansas State beat Oklahoma State 14-6 in Stillwater. Despite being on the correct side of the scoreline, this was an embarrassing display of college football prowess. I don’t envy at all the fact that Jon Morse had to write about this debacle. I’m going to let the defense off this time. The unit did […]
FINAL: Kansas State Wildcats 14, Oklahoma State Cowboys 6
It was ugly, painful, and embarrassing, but the Kansas State Wildcats escaped Stillwater with a win for only the second time this century in a 14-6 win over the Oklahoma State Cowboys at Boone Pickens Stadium. Despite having an opportunity against arguably the worst team in the Power Four, K-State’s offense was on life support […]
Kansas State at Oklahoma State: 2025 Game 10
After yet another in-season break, your Kansas State Wildcats return to the field today to begin the final stretch of the season. It’s been a particularly rough 2025 for the Wildcats. Between player injuries, a tough transition in scheme on offense, and all the scheduling quirks associated with the opening trip to Ireland, things have […]
