Kansas State

Woke up to an e-mail confirming a hotel reservation. I’ll be with Collin and the guys at Big 12 Football Media Day in Texas on Wednesday. It’ll be televised on ESPNU. K-State football is getting closer.

Earlier I shared my enthusiasm toward the K-State football team. My enthusiasm was called to question by @William_Wildcat. In response to this unforeseen development, I will increase my enthusiasm.

Nobody has told me that they don’t believe that the K-State football players have bought in and are striving for excellence.

Gutch Boring

@DScottFritchen I understand you never criticize, that is your prerogative given your role. The problem with that approach is people don’t believe you when you are positive either.

It’s 87 degrees on July 1 and I wish I could describe what I’m witnessing on the field at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Just let it be known these Wildcats are incredibly bought in. Each day on the field these players are striving for excellence to make K-State proud.
