WHITLOCK: K-STATE COULD PULL A SURPRISE THIS FALL
July 21, 2008

In a column today, Jason Whitlock says, "Two months ago, I spent two hours talking life and football with Ron Prince inside an Atlanta hotel conference room and lobby. I was blown away by two things: 1. His depth of knowledge and passion about the issues that young people face today; 2. He truly believes the Kansas State Wildcats are going to be good this season."

MICHAEL BEASLEY'S REIGN ON THE PLAINS
March 18, 2008

The Los Angeles Times did a story on our pal Michael Beasley today. As they say, there's no bad publicity. (I don't know how Eliot Spitzer feels about that old saying this week, but that's not our subject today.)

MEN'S BASKETBALL RETURNS TO THE NCAA TOURNAMENT
March 16, 2008

It took a little digging, but I found the NCAA Tournament bracket. It's an 80 KB PDF. Or, if you like, you can get it from my server.

Here's a link to K-State Sports Information's Tournament Central.

MICHAEL BEASLEY: BIG 12 PLAYER OF THE YEAR
March 10, 2008

Here's a paragraph swiped from the Big 12's official announcement: "Beasley, a unanimous All-Big 12 First Team choice, set numerous conference records in his inaugural campaign. He leads the nation in rebounding (12.6 rpg) and is in the top five nationally in scoring (26.5 ppg). He set a Big 12 season record for double-doubles with 26, a total that is also a NCAA freshman record. The Washington, D.C. native posted 13 games with 30 points or more, a Big 12 season record and Kansas State career mark. He owns 27 school freshman, single-season and career marks and 13 Big 12 single-game and single-season records. His combined point and rebound average overall is 39.0, which would also set a Big 12 record."

GREG SHARPE TO NEBRASKA
February 4, 2008
Former Voice of the Wildcats, Greg Sharpe, announced on his show today that he will shortly be leaving WIBW radio to become the voice of the Huskers. Amy Lietz will be leaving her position with KSNT. Greg did a tremendous job as our play-by-play man, and for all the outstanding work he's done with sports talk, his true calling is play-by-play. I wish him great success and happiness in this new venture.

ESPN ON K-STATE'S OWN MICHAEL BEASLEY
January 27, 2008

From Key Notes by Jason McCallum:

"Kansas State's Michael Beasley had 33 points and 15 rebounds in the Wildcats' drubbing of Iowa State. It is the seventh 30-10 game of the season for the freshman. How does this compare to some recent freshmen who were known for scoring and rebounding? Carmelo Anthony had three 30-10 games in 35 games in 2002-03. Kevin Durant had seven 30-10 games in 35 games in his freshman season."

JASON WHITLOCK HAS TAKEN A LIKING TO MR. BEASLEY
January 26, 2008

Here's his column in the Kansas City Star, as he looks ahead to the K-Who? game.

GREG McDERMOTT ON MICHAEL BEASLEY...
January 26, 2008

"We were trying to keep it out of his hands, but 21 shots in 22 minutes isn't exactly a great job of keeping it out of his hands. Part of it is that he goes and gets the ball on the offensive glass. He uses his body extremely well to shield the defenders and make sure he gets the ball in his hands. I thought that he was good on tape, he was even better in person.

"He is a physical specimen. He anticipates the ball coming off of the rim. He's a phenomenal rebounder. He is the best college basketball player that I have seen."

MARTIN LOOKING FOR MORE
January 24, 2008

Jeffrey Martin has a good article article in today's Wichita Eagle about the Colorado win and Coach Martin's expectations.

LOOK WHAT TURGEON SAID ABOUT THE CATS!
January 19, 2008

Opening statement...
"I thought that K-State was unbelievable; the shots that they made, Bill Walker got it going and got their defense going for a little bit. I thought we were okay for about 25 minutes, but what it comes down to is that our bigs can't guard their bigs. We were so inefficient, when we got to the foul line we didn't step up and make free throws. In the second half I thought that we could have built a four- or five-point lead early, but we missed a lot of free throws. We have to get better at defense. We haven't guarded well since league play started. We have to get more efficient on offense; we have a lot of guys not playing very well right now. Give K-State credit. I don't know who could have beaten them today. They were pretty good."

On K-State's defense...
"They were quicker to the ball. We looked like quicksand compared to them. Where they were good was when they played one-on-one against our posts and they were giving up about 30 or 40 pounds on each player. I thought that was the difference, because we got the ball right where we wanted but we didn't make plays against their posts. It could have made a difference, but I thought their defense did a good job."

On K-State's Michael Beasley...
"He just makes it look so easy. It looks like he is moving in slow motion compared to everybody else. He was in foul trouble all night and never lost his rhythm, and he draws fouls better than anybody that I've been around."

A FINE ARTICLE ABOUT COACH MARTIN IN THE STAR
January 12, 2008

Be sure to read this article, Difficult childhood a motivating force for K-State coach Martin, in today's Kansas City Star. It gives an appreciation of what has made Coach the man he is today.

NO SURPRISE: MICHAEL BEASLEY, BIG 12 ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
December 26, 2007

The Big 12 home office says, "Beasley recorded his 11th double-double in as many games as Kansas State won its only game of the week, 90-48, over Winston-Salem State. The freshman forward finished with 40 points, the most scored by any Big 12 player this season, to go along with 15 rebounds. He shot 14-of-22 (.636) from the field, including 3-of-4 (.750) from beyond the arc. He also connected on 9-of-13 (.692) free throws and had three blocked shots. It was the most points by a Kansas State player since Askia Jones collected a school-record 62 versus Fresno State on March 24, 1994. Beasley posted the 10th outing of 40 points or more by a player in Big 12 history, while recording his fifth contest with 30 or more points this year." Here's the complete announcement.

JAYHAWKS VS. THE HOKIES (Go Hokies, by the way.)
December 26, 2007

Some clever Virginia Tech fan has put together a series of Four YouTube Videos that poke fun at KU's focus on basketball as their Orange Bowl appearance approaches. You'll have to pick out the videos from the overall list. Look for "Kansas Vs. Virginia Tech" to start. I think my favorite is #4. All these are a take-off of the "Apple vs. Mac" commercials.

MICHAEL BEASLEY: THE EXCEPTION AND THE REASONS
December 24, 2007

Here's an article dated November 17 by Dan Barto of The Basketball Academy, who had Michael stay with him while a high school freshman. He does a nice job of explaining Michael's special talents, especially how he visualizes the game. He tells how he is able to anticipate what's going to happen next, which is something Jack Hartman constantly preached.

MICHAEL BEASLEY MAKES IT LOOK EASY.
December 22, 2007

At his scoring clip of 1.739 points per minute, Mr. Beasley would have recorded 69.57 points if he'd played 40 minutes instead of 23. Tonight's contest marked his 11th double double. Sports Information noted, "Beasley notched his fifth contest of 30 or more points. He now sits fourth all-time for 30-point games in a season. Beasley trails leaders Bob Boozer (7) and Norris Coleman (7), as well as third-place Mitch Richmond (6)." As Clent Stewart observed, "He can score at will."

CONSENSUS ALL-AMERICAN JORDY NELSON
December 11, 2007
Congratulations to Jordy, named by the Associated Press to their first team today. Jordy has also been named an All-American by Rivals.com, the Walter Camp Football Foundation, the Football Writers Association of America, American Football Coaches Association, CBS Sportsline.com, Phil Steele and Sports Illustrated.

According to D. Scott Fritchen of GoPowercat.com, a player must be named an All-American by at least three of the five sources recognized by the NCAA. Jordy was selected by four of the five.

Jordy's very much deserving of these honors. He'll be known as one of the greatest success stories in the history of Wildcat athletics, and as fine a representative of our university as we've ever had.


THANKS JORDY AND JAMES
November 24, 2007

I can't imagine what we would have done without you, and I wish you the best of luck in the future.

BE CAREFUL, BILL.
November 11, 2007

It appears that Bill Walker plays high-risk basketball. He's definitely not afraid to mix it up under the basket, and I'm afraid he won't make it through November uninjured if he doesn't settle down. Sooner or later, all those hard landings and getting twisted around will take a toll. Bill will play a major part in our success this season, but only if he gets through it without a cast.

WAS JENNIFER ANISTON IN THE PARKING LOT?
October 28, 2007

I was disappointed to see so many fans leaving Bill Snyder Family Stadium before 0:00 in the Baylor football game yesterday. The weather was a little cool, but in the 50s, and the game ended at 6:05 P.M. I think it's disrespectful to the players and coaches to leave early. What would you say to some of our players who decided to grab an early shower? Well, we're in this together. In case you hadn't heard, several thousand of you missed a very fine 92-yard punt return by Mr. Jordy Nelson.

NICE ARTICLE ON FRANK MARTIN
October 18, 2007

Joe Posnanski has a positive and interesting article on Coach Martin in today's Kansas City Star.

I KNEW TEXAS HAD MONEY, BUT GOODNESS...
September 30, 2007

Look at this article in the American Statesman on the $107,600,000 budget of University of Texas athletics.

OK... KANSAS IS THE WHEAT STATE, BUT PLEASE...
February 2, 2007

Once again, controversy has developed over the Cat Band's playing Gary Glitter's Rock and Roll Pt. 2, or as the band sometimes calls it, Time Lords. I've never noticed it, but apparently this past year the students have substituted the item that we're going to beat out of our opponent. It's not a good choice for our younger and more conservative fans, but that's not why I called you here.

Whether at football, basketball or volleyball, every time the band plays that tune, the students stick their arms up and wave them back and forth. Stop it! Why don't our students understand that they're waving the wheat, which is a decades-old KU tradition? It makes me sick every time I see it. The bands have to stop playing that song if our students don't realize they're participating in a highly disgusting KU tradition.
