SANDSTORM!!!

K-State at Colorado on November 16, 1996. Anyone go to this game in Boulder? Had to have been one of the coldest games in K-State history.

Whenever I hear Chris Fowler I remember standing together outside Vanier Football Complex looking out at all the K-State fans before the 1998 Nebraska game. Fowler just stared at the fans. Seconds passed. Finally, he said, “Unfreaking-believable.” Except he didn’t say “freaking.”

“He played his butt off.” The vision of Jacob Knuth walking gingerly with a grass-stained uniform conjured visions of another K-State quarterback. On Saturday, the guy in the No. 7 jersey was arguably the toughest dude on the field.  Story: kstatesports.com/news/2026/1…

You’ll recall K-State trailed Arizona State 20-7 at halftime before the Wildcats roared back and Ell Roberson’s 10-yard touchdown pass to Derrick Evans with 75 seconds left gave K-State a 34-27 win in the 2002 Holiday Bowl. Hopefully the players remember that game.

Stan Weber on the K-State Radio Network says, “It is amazing how much purple is in this stadium.”

To watch: In four years under Kenny Dillingham the Sun Devils are 24-4 when leading at the half and 1-16 when trailing at the half. Seems significant.

The K-State Radio Network reports significant cloud coverage has entered the picture at Mountain America Stadium along with “a significant breeze that will make the game interesting” between K-State and Arizona State.

If Avery is out then Collin says Jacob and then Dillon are next in line at quarterback. “That’s why they’re here. They love K-State. They’re ready to compete,” Collin says.

“We have to learn to get hit in the chin and get back up. Right now, we're getting hit in the chin and lying down.” Arizona State HC Kenny Dillingham voices concern. If K-State punches first and early, we’ll see what the Sun Devils do. Story: kstatesports.com/news/2026/1…

I like to feel like I’m sharing some kind of information even if it’s silly since I cannot ever really tell you the things I know.

The K-State Radio Network announces that the temperature for the college football game between Kansas State and Arizona State is 78 degrees. It is 82 degrees in Manhattan, so it will be interesting to see how the Wildcats adapt to cooler temperatures.

Kansas State wide receiver Jaron Tibbs on the K-State Player Spotlight brought you by The K-State Radio Network says that his touchdown against Kansas was “definitely big.”

A quick Kansas State University football update. The K-State Sports Network just announced that the official kickoff time for the college football game between Kansas State and Arizona State has been moved to 2:50 p.m. (CT). The game was originally scheduled for 2:45 p.m. (CT).

A post on the official K-State Athletics social media account includes an image of a purple helmet with a white Powercat on the side, seemingly indicating that the Wildcats could be going away from their traditional helmet for today’s road game.

It was enjoyable seeing K-State men’s basketball compete for the first time. Outstanding coaches and student-athletes. Excited to see K-State football compete today. I know the coaches and student-athletes work hard for these opportunities and to reach their goals.

Eight years ago today I received my K-State media guide for the upcoming basketball season

K-State falls just short to Missouri 71-67 at Bramlage Coliseum in its first exhibition game of the Casey Alexander era. These student-athletes are working hard and it’ll pay dividends.
