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 […]
How to Watch: Kansas State at Cincinnati
The Wildcats have done something this fall that’s been a relative rarity: they escaped the non-conference portion of their schedule without a baffling loss, and enter Big 12 play unbeaten. But now it’s time to see how this team performs away from the friendly confines. The Game The Kansas State Wildcats (3-0, 0-0 Big 12) visit the […]
Kansas State Football: Depth Chart Review vs Tulane- Defense
Defensive Line *Starters bolded Defensive End Grade: A I split the defensive ends and interior defensive linemen because one group dominated the game while the other struggled. The Defensive ends contributed 7.5 tackles for loss and 5 sacks. That’s domination. Gregory and Whitaker look like an elite defensive end pairing, with Bryant and Hill providing […]
Kansas State Football: Depth Chart Review vs Tulane – Offense
It took the offense a half to get fully in gear. Tulane sold out to stop the run on defense and managed to contain Kansas State’s running backs. Coach Klein and Gleason countered with Avery Johnson in the quarterback run game, and the rest, as they say, was history. Tulane put the ball in Avery’s […]
Slate: Perfect So Far
Football Kansas State beat Tulane 31-20 to finish up the non-conference schedule. The win means the Wildcats are now 3-0 and receiving votes in the AFCA Coaches’ Poll as well as the AP Top 25. The win was not particularly pretty, and as Jon Morse notes in his BotC recap of the game, the offense […]
FINAL: Kansas State Wildcats 31, Tulane Green Wave 20
A first-half struggle turned into second-half dominance as Kansas State rode a career day by Jaron Tibbs and the best performance of the year by Avery Johnson to roll to a 31-20 victory over the Tulane Green Wave on Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan. Johnson accounted for 379 yards of offense between […]
Kansas State vs Tulane: 2026 Game 3
The world sure looks nice when your football team is beating the pants off their opponents. For two weeks in a row now, the Kansas State Wildcats came out and imposed their will on another visitor to Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The trick will be to see if they can do it again for a […]
Slate: Tulane Gameday!
Football In the last non-conference game of the season, Kansas State (2-0) plays Tulane (1-1) at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Kickoff is at 11 AM and the game will be on ESPN2. The last time these two teams met in Manhattan, it was the Green Wave that walked off the field with a win. Though […]
How to Watch: Tulane at Kansas State
Kansas State is rolling — so far. But we all remember when a great season was nearly upended on this very weekend, in this very stadium, by this very team in 2022. Thankfully for K-State, their opponent hasn’t been quite the same since that year, their own high-water mark in recent memory. The Game The Kansas […]
Kansas State Football: Depth Chart Review vs Washington State – Offense
Quarterback *Starters in Bold Grade: C One of my criticisms of Avery over the years is that his brain occasionally short circuits on what look like Mundane plays. He knows where the ball is supposed to go, and he throws it without fully processing what’s going on with the defense. He did that twice in […]
Kansas State dominates Washington State 34-7
Avery Johnson threw for three touchdown passes, Rodney Fields ran for over 100 yards again, Joe Jackson had over 100 all-purpose yards, and Josh Manning hauled in 10 passes for 97 yards. More importantly, the defense kept the opponent out of the end zone for the second week in a row as the Kansas State […]
Kansas State vs Washington State: 2026 Game 2
Well, that was a lot of fun. From the return of Snyder 1.0-era pregame skits to the Snyder 1.0-era flattening of an over-matched FCS opponent, it felt like a return to the “good ol’ days” of Kansas State football. It was a grand opening for one of K-State venerated son’s, as Collin Kline’s first win […]
Slate: Cougs Gameday!
Football Kansas State (1-0) takes on Washington State (0-1) in the first ever meeting between the schools. Kickoff is scheduled for 11 AM on Fort Riley Day at Bill Snyder Family Stadium and the game will be broadcast on TNT. As usual, all these details and much more can be found in Jon Morse’s How […]
Kansas State Football: Washington State Preview – Offense
Quarterback Caden Pinnick – 6’0”, 192 – 3rd Year Player – UC Davis Week 1 vs Washington: 16/25, 142 Yds, 0 Tds, 2 Int, 14 Rushes, 61 Yds, 1 Td Thoughts: That stat line pretty much says it all. Pinnick isn’t so much a dual-threat quarterback as he is a single-threat quarterback, with that threat […]
How to Watch: Washington State at Kansas State
After a picture-perfect season opener, K-State is set to take on a team that was a Power 5 team when the game was scheduled, and now isn’t because the whims of College Football cast them aside. Yeah, it’s not fun. The Game The Kansas State Wildcats (1-0) host the Washington State Cougars (0-1, 0-0 Pac-12) for Fort […]
Kansas State Football: Nicholls State Position Group Review – Offense
The Wildcats started the season with a bang last Saturday against Nicholls State. I’m not sure things could have gone much better for Coach Klein’s debut. The stadium looked great, the crowd was electric, and a good time was had by all, with the exception of the poor souls on the opposing sideline. The offense […]
Slate: We’re so back!
Happy Labor Day! Football College football is here again, after what seemed like an interminably long offseason filled with the sort of stuff most fans hate: federal intervention in the sport, a quarterback literally gambling away his future, new eligibility rules, and even a conference suing one of its member schools. It’s a relief to […]
Kansas State Wildcats Rout Nicholls 71-3
Avery Johnson took sole possession of Kansas State’s all-time lead in career touchdown passes from Will Howard, and the Wildcats methodically dismantled the Nicholls State Colonels in a 71-3 rout tonight at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan. Rodney Fields posted a 100-yard game in his first start after transferring from Oklahoma State, while Johnson […]
Kansas State vs Nicholls: 2026 Game 1
Welcome back to football, Wildcat fans! We’re ready to embark on not just another season of K-State football. 58 new players on the roster, a nearly complete revamp of the coaching staff. And the return of Collin Klein to the K-State sideline. This is something many of us have talked about since his should-have-won-the-Heisman 2012 […]

How to Watch: Nicholls State at Kansas State
It’s a new season. It’s Labor Day weekend. The Wildcats have not already played a game, and have not spent a week abroad, thank goodness. And the Collin Klein era is upon us. Let’s go.
