Cats tie it up in the 8th.

Wow. 2 out, ksu batter pops it up in the infield, and the wsu pitcher and 1b call it, neither get it. ROFL. Cats make em pay. 5-3 heading to the bottom of the 8th.

As a WSU student, and a resident of Wichita ... Stephenson has got to go.

You are a WSU baseball fan?

Not a huge follower by any means. I enjoy drinking in the outfield though. Jewfro Stephenson has worn out his welcome, imo.

Cats win 7-4, sweep WSU.

Watching spring ball at The Bill, and Coffman actually looks like a solid QB.

And they also got some nice receivers so far. Brodrick Smith can ball.

Does Harper get to play this year or next?

... and any word on Bryce Brown?

Oh he'll get to play this year, no doubt.

And as for Brown, nothing on my end.

Gag me with a knife.

I know its hard to believe it, and granted, it is just spring football, but it is very obvious that Lamur and Cosh are not quite ready, and I didn't see Klien much to give a report on.

I understand the concerns about Coffman, and I still would have them, but at the same time, he showed control and command of the offense, which he lacked last season.

I'll tell u what though, you're gonna love the freshman TE K-State got. That guy is gonna be good.

Want Klein. Was he injured or what?

Tannahill? Cause he's a Soph... I don't see any Freshmen TEs on the roster...

I won't be extatic if Coffman's the starter, but if he's improved & Coach Snyder thinks he's the guy for the job, then so be it. No matter who's under center, the offense goes as DT8 goes. I'd love to see a QB be able to hit CH4 and BS5 but if DT8 isn't playing well, it won't matter.

Gawd, I can't wait for football.


EDIT:

Pretty sure he got hurt earlier this week and they wanted to keep him out as a precaution.

18 Andre McDonald. FR-RS. 6'8", 282.

Dude is massive.

Finally on a computer. Coffman had a good game all around. I only recall him throwing two bad passes, one of them was underthrown and the other was too far from the receiver to have a chance of catching it on the out of bounds. Other than that, I couldn't really complain about his play. He made some nice throws. He'll need to work on the spiral though, just seems like he doesn't have the big hands to grip the ball well, as sometimes the football would rotate like a helicopter.

But Coffman threw a very nice beautiful pass to Braden Wilson in the middle of the field without breaking Braden's stride for a TD. In all, Coffman completed 38 of 51 passes for 440 yards and seven touchdowns. Granted, the big outing came against a defense filled with second-team players who weren’t allowed to blitz, so that'll be something to watch as the season kicks off.

Lamur and Cosh are not just ready. Lamur has the dual-threat ability, but the problem with him is that he has a tendency to lock in one receiver. That was also Cosh's problem as well as he got picked off twice, one was brought back for a TD.

D-Train is D-Train, and Powell is a serviceable back-up RB to give D-Train a rest for a snap or two. John Hubert is the one I'd be watching, as he had a nice play (5 yards) in the endzone. It was a handoff to him, going to the right side, and he cut back in, going in the middle of the field, and was met by 3 defenders, and somehow, he spun lose, shaking off those three defenders to get in the endzone.

But I think (outside of D-Train) of the running game success was the returning 4 offensive linemen. Powell was somewhat struggling to get yards as a 2nd stringer going against a 1st string defense, but when he switched to the first stringer, it was obvious that he was getting holes to run into. Not sure if it's more of the offensive line or the 2nd string defensive line getting hammered.

The receivers are incredible. Very much vastly improved. They had made some great catches, outside of one drop. Brodrick Smith is very solid. Aubrey Quarles was also solid. Harper didn't do much, other than a few returns and probably a catch or two, so I couldn't get a feel for him. The one I really thought will do some serious damage in the middle will be the TE. Andre McDonald is a hulking 6'8", 282 pound RS Freshman, and he runs well for a guy his size, and made some decent catches as well.

The negative that I seen was the punting. It just seemed the punter just lacks the leg strength in order to have booming punts, and kickoffs was inconsistent at best, although the ball was placed around the 5-10 yard line, I'd like to see more of kickoffs being kicked into the endzone to reduce the chance of the other team returning it.

Another negative is that we didn't quite get a good field for special teams, other than kickoff returns. Whenever the ball was punted, there were no returns, as it was immediately dead on the spot. Although, I can see part of the reasoning for it was to minimize injuries.

In all, no major injuries that I know of occured, other than Prizel Brown getting knocked down once, but he walked it off under his own power, so I don't think there'd be too much of a concern there.

Not sure if it's a comfirm or a rumor, but

McNeck to Creighton? Say it ain't so...

NO STARS!!!.....yet.

Done deal. He's headed to Manhattan.

And 74 users gave him an average of 4* fwiw.

Powertards.

nice article on the Meier brothers and some more on Dylan's life

http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2010/04/26/f...dylans-memory/

Tyler Lockett, son of Kevin Lockett and nephew of Aaron Lockett committed today.

I will say that this staff seems to be recruiting better than the previous staff. Not that that was difficult by any means....

Is this the same kid that left KU's spring game because he was bored?

Anyone know anything about him? Highly recruited?

He was just going to visit Kansas on Saturday and watched their spring game (not sure how much of it), then took an impromptu trip to Manhattan to watch ours.

No stars issued by Rivals yet, but membership of 35 people gave him 4*

http://rivals.yahoo.com/tcu/football...-Lockett-87619

So, like Saul said, powertards.

I admit, when I see the 4 stars I immediately think "powertards." Then I go ahead and rank them 5 stars. 1 star if they committed to any other school.

Sometimes, stars are overrated though.

Sometimes, but generally not. I like to look at offer lists more than stars.

agreed, that is a better indicator IMHO

Absolutely.

Jade Cathey commits to K-State.

http://rivals.yahoo.com/kansasstate/...-Cathey-109654

We own Texas.

K-State to play Florida, December 18th.

K-State to play Virginia Tech in Manhattan this year, travel to Blacksburg next season.

To recap, our OOC Sched has Florida, Virginia Tech, UNLV, and either 2 of these 3: Duke, Marquette, Gonzaga. Pretty good schedule.

That KC tourney is going to be great. May have to make my way to Fla. for that one too.

K-State beats KU in baseball...again.

Is there anything we aren't better that at KU? How embarrassing for them.

Already got my tix. I'll be there for all 4 games.

Me too.

Can't wait:ksu:

We will probably have some sort of goEMAW meet up at P&L before and after the games. Hope to see you guys there :)

For KC? Me too.

We aren't nearly their caliber in ticket scalping.

We're workin on it.
Posted via Mobile Device

I've also got tix with some buds for the KC tourney. Gonna be a great time!

Kansas game moved to Thursday, October 14th.

Didn't KU beat your asses 3 times in basketball?

Sweet I have tickets to that game.

Bryce Brown rumblings.

Bryce. We need you. And a QB. And a coach.

sorry, I ate Thai last night.

That would explain the tremors in the KC Metro area.

Damn, you felt them all the way over in KC?

What do these rumblings sound like?

With the end of the North and South divisions and the start of round-robin play, the Wildcats will face league powers Texas and Oklahoma yearly. They will also play a three-game nonconference season instead of a four-game. Given Snyder’s preference to load up on early-season home games against beatable opponents, the Wildcats will basically be trading a gimme for a tester. In a 10-team Big 12, Snyder sees little room for error. “People are going to realize that strength of schedule is going to be dynamically different than what it has been,” Snyder said. Although he likes the way K-State came out of the great conference-realignment cliffhanger, especially because of the bond it could create with 10 committed members, Snyder is not thrilled about the added difficulty of playing in the new Big 12. “Everybody always wants to see everybody play the best people that they can,” Snyder said. “But what you have to realize is: When we were in the Big Eight Conference, great teams beat up on great teams. Consequently, the results were not always what you would have liked for them to be. You could be an awfully good program and suffer dramatically. “It will be a strong conference — as strong a conference as you will find anywhere. There are pluses and minuses to that. Some will prosper, and some will not.” To make sure K-State prospers, the Wildcats may have to be more selective in their nonconference scheduling. Snyder always has viewed a perfect nonconference record as a key part of qualifying for a bowl game. He also likes home nonconference games, because those benefit Manhattan. Next season, K-State’s nonconference schedule consists of home games against UCLA, Missouri State and Central Florida and an end-of-season road trip to North Texas. Other early-season games have been scheduled against Miami, Oregon, Virginia Tech, Auburn and Texas-San Antonio. Snyder and athletic director John Currie aren’t sure how they will fill out future open dates. “That’s one of the things we’ve got to assess in a scientific fashion,” Currie said. “We have existing contracts with different schools at different levels. We’re just going to have to figure out how to manage things moving forward.” Read more: http://www.kansascity.com/2010/06/17...#ixzz0rF00tWdv

Poor Snyder. The new schedule also forces them to play Baylor every year. That should even it up.

Says the fan of a coach with an all time losing record.

:spock: Still 0-0 at KU.

Saul what is the kstate site you administer?

I'm still 0-0 at KU. Be my fan!

Gracias

Omari Lawrence transfers in.

http://goemaw.com/forum/index.php?topic=4011.180

I just scanned the first page... we got another guy also? and are losing Sutton????

What can the Brown Brothers do for you?

KSU :)

Word has it Omari can afford to pay his way while he sits out next year so we won't lose anyone. Not sure why everyone thinks Sutton would be gone, Russell is by far apparently the most unhappy player.

That is absolutely untrue.

God damnit, when is Bryce going to commit to KSU?

I was up there for the Frank Martin Father/Son basketball camp a couple of weeks ago and all the players were around and very upbeat. We watched them play against each other during an open gym session, and Russell seemed perfectly content.

Both Arthur and Bryce will be in Manhattan in July.

good to hear, most of what I'd read earlier in the year made it sound like he was unhappy

from another board...

Dom Sutton.

Discuss..........

Don't sweat it, he's not going anywhere (I hope). Supposedly his latest tweet was lyric from a Drake song....

Meh. I like him, but he hasn't improved that much over his 3 year career. If his ceiling is Akeem Wright, we can afford to lose him.

I agree with the lack of improvement comment, but I think he brings a level of toughness to this team that others don't.

I think the issue is that he's not going to be as good of an option as Samuels would be at the 3 spot.

1 Pullen
2 McGruder
3 Samuels
4 Kelly
5 Judge

By the way, our post game is going to be fun watching Judge, Kelly, Asprilla, JHO. Where we lack is that 3 spot. If Dom does depart, we are really going to need to see some minutes with Southwell.

BTW, I think it will be official very soon that Dom is transferring

well, this sucks. His growth was disappointing but seeing a 3 year starter leave is disappointing.

We will miss his def. and speed.

I wont miss his fear of taking wide open threes.

Here ya go
 

KSU Sports Information

Senior forward Dominique Sutton has been released from his athletic scholarship at Kansas State and will transfer to another institution, head men's basketball coach Frank Martin announced on Friday.

"Dominique has expressed to me his desire to finish his college career closer to home in North Carolina where he has two small children," said Martin. "We appreciate his contributions to the program over the past three years and wish him nothing but the best in the future."

A 6-foot-5, 218-pound senior from Durham, N.C., Sutton averaged 7.2 points on 47.7 percent shooting this past season with 5.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.2 steals in 24.0 minutes per game. He saw action in all 37 games with 36 starts in helping the Wildcats to the Elite Eight for the first time since 1988. He played in 90 games in his three-year career with 76 starts, averaging 6.5 points on 48.5 percent shooting with 4.9 rebounds per game.

Sutton is on track to graduate and leaves K-State in solid academic standing.
