About

I am a Senior at Kansas State University majoring in Milling Science/Cereal Chemistry. I've been a K-State fan my entire life despite being a Texan by birth. I was always an Oilers fan growing up, but refused to follow them to Tennessee. When the Texans came to Houston, needless to say I was excited. I follow the Texans as much as I can but sadly, we don't get a whole lot of their games up here in Manhattan...

One thing I'm never short on material for is the Wildcats. I'm at every home game and try to make a road game here and there (especially at KU). Manhattan is a truly unique environment for college football and basketball, and if you ever have a chance to come and experience gameday in Aggieville and around town, don't pass it up!

I've always enjoyed writing, and now I can write about things I like - sports! I apologize in advance if I defend my statements/articles like a rabid dog, but I believe what I say and don't say it if I don't - and there's not a lot of people that follow or know more about K-State sports than I do, so I'll take all comers. Also, you'll have to excuse me if I rag on KU a little bit, but I really don't like their teams, school, or fans - sorry, that's just the way I am. Rock chalk chickenhawk...

I hope you enjoy what I write, I enjoy writing it! And remember: Every Man a Wildcat!

    Every Mizzou fan who went to the MU/KSU game this year said K-State had some of the most courteous fans they've ever encountered. I'm pretty sure some people wearing purple joined in the Mizzou section's "Beat kU" chant after the game.

    hhhmmm...I never thought that Prince would be on his way out so fast. Interesting.

    And I'm not all that worried about kU...I mean, they have to play OU, Texas, and Texas Tech from the South. I think they lose 2/3 of those games plus one to Mizzou, of course.

    Keep on hatin' kU. Rock Chalk Chickenhawk...I like it.

    How's K-State looking in football for next year? Should I be concerned about them coming into Columbia and upsetting Missouri?

    Also, as a Missouri student/crazed fan, I like K-State. Anybody who hates kU is good in my book.

    Hey Hayes,

    I just wanted to let you know that Bleacher Report has launched out of beta with an updated look and feel and some great new features. Check out the "Game On" link in the header to find out more.

    Next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements—and it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

    Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Hayes!
