FINAL: Arizona State Sun Devils 28, Kansas State Wildcats 17
Arizona State running back Cardae Mack and wide receiver Reed Harris combined for over 300 yards of total offense, and the Sun Devil defense shot down K-State’s own run game on the way to a 28-17 win at Mountain America Stadium in Tempe, Arizona. With Avery Johnson sidelined due to an injury last week against […]
Kansas State at Arizona State: 2026 Game 7
After a couple of listless weeks, your Kansas State Wildcats awoke just in time to take care of the Jayhawks and win their 18th-straight Sunflower Showdown. For a day, all was right in Wildcatland. But it’s time to get back to the grind. The Wildcats are venturing out on the road again, this time headed […]
How to Watch: Kansas State at Arizona State
After extending The Streak to 18 games last week, the Wildcats again hit the road, heading to the suburbs of Phoenix with at least a winning record in their pocket. Coming out on top this afternoon would be a huge step. But their opponent this week is always a tough out, and the Cats have […]
Kansas State Basketball: 2027 Exhibition 1 vs Missouri
Hey, look out, it’s time for some Kansas State basketball! The completely new-look Wildcats step out on the court at Bramlage Coliseum tonight for the first time in public, welcoming in old Big 12 rival Missouri for an exhibition matchup before the official start of the 2026-27 season. And by completely new-look, I mean 98% […]
Kansas State Basketball: Matt Gilhool Profile
Of all the portal pieces Coach Alexander brought in this season, Gilhool may be the most intriguing in terms of upside. The former 4-star recruit from the 2024 class faced a major health scare as a high school senior, the ramifications of which carried over into his freshman season at LSU. From all accounts, he’s […]
Kansas State Football: Depth Chart Review – Defense – Kansas
Defensive Line Note: Starters are bolded, stats from Pro Football Focus and ESPN Defensive End Nose Tackle Defensive Tackle Grade: B+ That was a much better game from the defensive line, and that starts with Travis Bates. I’ve been waiting for this level of activity all season. Kansas State is giving up size on the […]
Kansas State Football: Depth Chart Review -Kansas – Offense
Quarterback *Starters in Bold Avery Johnson: Snaps – 77 – Comp – 14/24 (58.3%) – Yds – 209 – Td – 1 – Rush – 13 – Yds – 133 Grade: A I have a proposition for Coach Klien. He should hire a hypnotist to convince Avery that he’s playing Kansas every game. He played […]
Slate: And the Streak Goes On…
Football Kansas State beat Kansas 35-14 in the 124th episode of the long-running soap opera that is the Sunflower Showdown. This is the program’s 18th straight victory in the series, the longest streak by far for any one team in this rivalry. The win moves K-State to 4-2 overall and 1-2 in the Big 12. […]
FINAL: Kansas State Wildcats 35, Kansas Jayhawks 24
Joe Jackson and Avery Johnson each rushed for over 100 yards, bolstered by 66 from Rodney Fields, and the Kansas State Wildcats (4-2, 1-2 Big 12) survived leaving 20 points on the field to earn a 35-24 win over the Kansas Jayhawks (2-4, 0-3 Big 12) today at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan. The […]
Kansas State vs Kansas: 2026 Game 6
The world sure looks nice when your football team is beating the pants off their opponents. But it looks a lot worse the other way around. After a 3-0 start to the season, your Kansas State Wildcats have fallen flat to open Big 12 play at 0-2. The Cats loss on the road at Cincinnati […]
How to Watch: Kansas at Kansas State
Twice in the last three years, the streak appeared to be in jeopardy. Last season, it wasn’t even close. Today, K-State will try and extend their winning streak over Kansas to “voting age”. So naturally, we’re all pretty nervous. The Game The Kansas State Wildcats (3-2, 0-2 Big 12) host the Kansas Jayhawks (2-3, 0-2 Big 12). […]
Kansas State Basketball: Brandon Rechsteiner Profile
With the basketball season right around the corner and the football season going as it is, I thought it would be in everyone’s best interest to talk a little basketball. I wrote these profiles in the summer as players started to commit. Now that I know what the rest of the roster looks like, I […]
Kansas State Football: Depth Chart Review – Houston – Defense
The defense was bad. Houston controlled the line of scrimmage, and Weigman made plays when needed. Patrick Overmyer finished the game with an Al Bundy in the scorebook, which, of course, is 4 touchdowns. You guys are smart; Bill Snyder taught you well. Teams that win the line of scrimmage tend to win the game. […]
Kansas State Football: Depth Chart Review – Houston – Offense
This chart explains everything that is currently wrong with the Kansas State offense. The Kansas State offense has been all setup and no punchline. The running backs can’t break a tackle, and the wide receivers can’t make plays downfield. Avery Johnson, in theory, is one of the nation’s most explosive quarterbacks when it comes to […]
FINAL: Houston Cougars 35, Kansas State Wildcats 16
Kansas State couldn’t put anything together consistently on either side of the ball and simply got outplayed Saturday in a 35-16 loss to the Houston Cougars at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. It was one of those games that just felt flat for the Wildcats. They didn’t suffer humilating collapses, it wasn’t a complete disaster at […]
Kansas State vs Houston: 2026 Game 5
Following an off week to regroup, your Kansas State Wildcats return to the friendly confines of Bill Snyder Family Stadium looking to get back on track after a lackluster performance in the Big 12 opener at Cincinnati led to a 26-31 loss to the Bearcats. So now, back in Manhattan, the Wildcats will look back […]
How to Watch: Houston at Kansas State
After a painful loss at Cincinnati and a week to recover, the Cats are back home to try to get back on track. But their opponent is quite possibly the most challenging remaining on the schedule. The Game The Kansas State Wildcats (3-1, 0-1 Big 12) host the Houston Cougars (4-1, 1-1 Big 12). This will be […]
Big 12 Roundup: Part I
FOOTBAAAAW! How We Got Here It’s been a weird few months for the conference since the last football season. Way back in December, the Big 12 had a big moment, when #4 Texas Tech (11-1) took on #11 BYU (11-1) at AT&T Stadium in Arlington for all the conference marbles and for a spot in […]
Kansas State Football: Preview -K-State’s Defense vs Houston’s Run Game.
The Wildcats’ defense needed the week off to lick their wounds after Cincinnati’s rushing attack ran roughshod over the front 7. In hindsight, I underestimated Cincinnati’s offensive line and its ability to push K-State off the line of scrimmage while opening massive seams for its running backs. Cincinnati’s offensive strength matched up with Kansas State’s […]
Kansas State Football: Depth Chart Review – Cincinnati – Defense
*Starters bolded Defensive Line Defensive End Nose Tackle Defensive Tackle Grade: This is what I’ve been nervous about all season. Cincinnati is the first team to try running directly at the Wildcats’ undersized defensive line, but they won’t be the last. Kamari Burns was supposed to anchor the middle, but he spent most of the […]
Kansas State Football: Depth Chart Review vs Cincinnati – Offense
Quarterback *Starters in Bold Avery Johnson: Snaps – 85 – Comp – 30/50 (60%) – Yds – 292 – Td – 1 – Int – 0 – Rushes – 6 – Yds – 38 Grade: B- Avery’s passing numbers are fine. I can’t believe he threw the ball 50 times, but that was a weird […]
Slate: Monday Blues
Football That was not fun. That seems to be the prevailing sentiment after Kansas State’s 31-26 loss to Cincinnati on Saturday. As Jon Morse noted in the official BotC recap, the loss was mostly due to a nightmare third quarter that the Wildcats could not quite recover from before time ran out. We’ve heard this […]
FINAL: Cincinnati Bearcats 31, Kansas State Wildcats 26
K-State simply could not answer Cincinnati’s running game, giving up 271 yards on the ground and three touchdowns, and a terrible third-quarter sequence in which the Bearcats scored twice in under three minutes spelled doom as the Kansas State Wildcats (3-1, 0-1 Big 12) fell 31-26 to the Cincinnati Bearcats (4-0, 1-0 Big 12) tonight […]
Kansas State vs Cincinnati: 2026 Game 4
It wasn’t exactly the dominating performances of the first two weeks, but your Kansas State Wildcats were able to dispatch Tulane, finally, 31-20 last Saturday to improve to 3-0 on the season and a clean-sweep of the non-conference schedule. Now Collin Klein and the Wildcats will look to do something that hasn’t happened at K-State […]
Slate: Bearcats Gameday!
Kansas State (3-0, 0-0 Big 12) plays Cincinnati (3-0, 0-0 Big 12) tonight at Nippert Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 PM and the game will air on ESPN2. Full details are available in the How To Watch post. The Big 12 opener for both teams is also the Wildcats’ first road game of the […]
