Wild, one of the reasons I'm following this discussion is that privyet gives us good info on a player I respect. I have yet to see anything about how our spring practices are going. I am purple through and through and am anxious to watch Avery and all of our team. Many of us are hungry for football ...

Yes, back to college amateurism as college athletics was meant to be!

I agree with your last statement, stlcat. I don't see K-State being able to compete financially with the big 2. Let them go their own way into a semi-pro league. The K-States of the college world can then compete in true college athletics.

"Good most of the time and occasionally great," says SCKSCat. I can live with that. Gotta do it tonight!!

Thanks, kat, for a great assessment. I agree that Coach Tang is doing things the right way. K-State is doing things the right way.

I much prefer the student-athlete model and I'm afraid that K-State will never have the dollars to compete in the semi-pro league. I just don't see how K-State will ever be able to pay athletes e...

Fun to see the Hawkers crying. Congrats to our Cats! So proud of Coach Tang!! Also need to send a message to our students in attendance: Glad you didn't storm the court. Act like you've been there and expect the win. I know this is Coach Tang's influence.

As the game gets more and more physical it becomes nearly impossible to officiate, IMHO.

Bill is a legend. What he did for K-State is remarkable. His name is on the stadium and he has a statue. K-State football does not owe his son a job! Bill's mistake was hanging around too long and trying to push Sean into the head coach position. I believe Coach Kleiman will do what is best for K-St...
