Didn’t expect 2012 K-State highlights during a Sherman/Mayfield conversation 😂
Remember when K-State went from
#15
to unranked because they lost on a 61 yard field @ Mizzou?
Tennessee went from
#13
to
#17
after losing 7-36 @ Mizzou and then went from
#17
to
#21
for losing 10-38 the very next week. 😂🤡
Watching Markquis go from a relatively unknown player on a team projected for last place to getting a ton of national spotlight in the big dance to making the NBA all in the last 10 months has been extremely cool.
Power 5 teams with 2+ regular season conference championships in basketball since 2013:
Kansas State

North Carolina
Michigan State
Purdue

Arizona

Pretty good company for Bruce and the Cats.
Good morning. This is a public service announcement to remind you that K-State blew a 17 point 4th quarter lead in a loss against Iowa State last night to keep them from becoming bowl eligible. That is all. Rock Chalk.
KU started the year with stripper poles and now they’re throwing punches in blowout wins. But K-State is the school with “no class” because the student section says bad words at them.
Random thought on college football chaos—Networks are reacting to what fans do, not what they say. They SAY they love the regionality of the sport (and I believe that), but they aren’t tuning in for Kansas/K-State or Iowa/Iowa State. What they DO is watch bluebloods vs. anyone.
How fun would it be to have 4 playoff games at home field locations today?
Cincinnati @ Ohio State - 11 am FOX
Oregon @ Alabama - 1 pm CBS
Texas A&M @ Notre Dame - 3 pm ABC
Oklahoma @ Clemson - 7 pm ABC
Expand the playoff!
If the worst Tang seasons are missing the tournament by a couple of wins after losing a couple of key players.. things are going to be alright.

You are acting like Snyder made KSU into some powerhouse lol. He made them a semi relevant program that is typically 6-7 wins with no national relevance. That's an average to above average program.
KState has beat us in FB & BB in the past 3 months simply on sheer desire to beat us more than we want to beat them. Insane.
They weren’t the better team either night.
University leaders fought “the chant” for years. Tang fixed it in a couple months. University leaders made decisions that led to protests. Tang calmed them down in minutes.
WATCH: K-State head coach Jerome Tang and assistant coach Jareem Dowling told students waiting to protest for Nae'Qwan Tomlin to 'spread love' instead.
The group left after the coaches stopped by.
Alright.. so this admittedly has < 0.1% chance of happening, but if:
- K-State beats Cincinnati &
- Baylor beats Kansas
The Sunflower Showdown would be KSU (8-8) vs KU (9-7) and an upset win would put the Wildcats ahead of the Jayhawks in the Big 12 standings.
Cheapest seat available on Stubhub (with estimated fees):
KU @ KSU - $201
Big 12 Championship - $93
Sunflower Showdown is going to be electric this year.
We’ve had some low moments, but if I offered the following to you before the season started, most would be REALLY happy with it:
- On the Bubble
- 5th in Big 12
- Pack 3rd in Big 12 in scoring
- Smith leads Big 12 in rebounds
- Nowell 2nd in Big 12 in assists
Support this team.
Picked 8th in the Big 12 and the season ends in the Elite 8. Entire team coming back next season. I hope the fans that were excited a couple of nights ago can keep that excitement moving forward. This group of guys isn’t finished yet.
It’s a shame that I spent nearly 3 full years of these guys’ careers defending Bruce as head coach. No matter what happens the rest of the way, I’m going to miss them, but they have the chance to finish the season strong to become K-State legends.
It’s crazy to me that people will hold such a grudge against a player because they didn’t like how an 18 year old handled making a life decision.
If Dylan Edwards wanted to come home and play with his lifelong friend Avery Johnson, that would 100% be a good thing for K-State.
The people that have wanted Bruce gone the longest are going to be the same people most irrationally angry about whoever we end up hiring even if it’s a good hire lmao
Kansas, Wichita State, and Frank Martin’s Gamecocks all included in the FBI report. Even if you don’t love him, it is a fantastic time to have Bruce Weber as our coach. Don’t even have to worry about it.
Bean is obviously the better of the 2. QB play is WAY better than it was 25 years ago.
If Bishop played on a team with a slightly worse defense they would have lost to Colorado, Nebraska, and Mizzou in '98 and finished 4th in the Big 12 North Division (let alone getting rolled…
Kansas State’s 2022-23 team will be one of the worst Big 12 teams in modern memory, but going forward, Tang looks to be building something there. This is a major land for him.
It’s a new decade! 2020s hopes:
- Klieman leads the Wildcats to 3 Big 12 title games. Wins 2 of them.
- Bruce Weber wins another conference title, reaches Sweet 16 before retirement
- Mahomes and the Chiefs win 2 Super Bowls
- The Royals make the playoffs once (plz)
I legitimately believe that
#KstateMBB
was just as good, if not better, than Iowa State this year. Just didn’t finish the close games.
Not sure if I can wait 7 months for the start of the Tang era.

Referring to Kentucky or Kansas State as the “Wildcats” isn’t going to work when they’re facing each other and then randomly calls us TCU?

Haven’t been on Twitter much this weekend… people seriously want a coach fired because we lost games to teams nationally ranked currently

, currently

, and preseason

?
Let’s see what we do against the rest of the schedule before freaking out to this extent 🙄

I don’t care how ugly it has to be, you better find a way to win this game.

Bold Prediction: Just like Marcus Foster at Creighton,
#KstateMBB
is going to end up playing against Nijel Pack in the NCAA Tournament at some point in the next 2 years.
This would assume K-State won the Big 12 in Arlington.
Followed by a NYE trip to Arizona to play Texas of all teams in the CFP quarterfinals.
Win that and you return to Arlington to play… Will Howard and the
#1
Buckeyes.
@EvryManAWildcat
Ehhhemmm.
If Martinez started and played the whole game, KU would've beaten KSU by at least 7.
I think he's a good person, but didn't fit into KSU's scheme.
The KSU fanbase 12 months ago was screaming for anyone but Howard. They got it, but this talented kid didn't fit.
Underrated Will Howard memory: Comes in as a true freshman for an injured Skylar Thompson during the COVID season and finds this connection to Deuce on 3rd down to ice the game.

Good effort, Associated Press 🙄
New turf being installed in The Bill and a new court design coming to Bramlage..
So my question is.. will pieces of the old turf/court be for sale? 👀
@KSTATEADGT
Football - KSU on 15 game winning streak vs KU
Baseball - KSU on 6 game winning streak vs KU
Men’s Basketball - KSU won 2 of last 3 vs KU
Women’s Basketball - 4 straight seasons with split series
BOOM! Jacob Knuth is a CAT! The former Top 30 QB in the 2022 class is transferring from Minnesota down to K-State. Recruited by K-State, Iowa, and Minnesota out of high school he has all 4 years of eligibility left to play.
#PortalCat
In a perfect world:
- Cats beat ISU, finish 7-5
- Cats win a bowl game vs decent team
- Snyder retires peacefully, goes out with everyone feeling good with 3 straight wins
- Leavitt or someone else takes over a team with plenty of potential, including a QB with 3 years left
You can be disappointed, even a bit mad about the way it was handled. But don’t tweet at 17 year old kids that are just trying to make major life decisions for themselves.
Feels like people are really sleeping on Skylar Thompson going into this season. Starting games as a Big 12 QB since 2017.. don’t get that longevity/experience often in CFB.
With Deuce Vaughn, Malik Knowles, Chabastin Taylor, and Phillip Brooks returning? Watch out..
#kstate
Having to say goodbye to Barry, Dean, and Kamau feels a lot like losing Hosmer, Moustakas, and Cain. A trio core of brothers that took a team from the bottom to a championship level. It all goes too fast.
#KstateMBB
Please stop trying to compare Georgia’s loss to South Carolina (4-8) to Oklahoma’s loss to Kansas State (8-4). They are not even close to equal losses.
