NCAA Tournament Day 1: Viewing Guide and Fan Discussion
Welcome to one of my favorite days of the year! For those of you with the foresight to take today and tomorrow off, I salute you. Even though the Wildcats are sitting this one out, I’m sure we can find something to talk about. Here’s the schedule with my picks in Bold: (all times in […]
Kansas State Basketball: Belmont’s Drew Scharnowski Enters the Portal
As the title of the article states, Drew Scharnowski, a 6’9”, 230-pound rising redshirt-junior forward for the Belmont Bruins, recently entered the transfer portal. Joining his teammate, reigning MVC Player of the Year Tyler Lundblade (who I wrote about here). This is obviously pertinent to Kansas State because its new head coach, Casey Alexander, was […]
Kansas State Baseball 2026 at Baylor
After a weird, and record-setting, opening weekend to Big 12 play, your Kansas State Wildcats will stay in the Lone Star State for one more game before headed back up to Kansas. Last weekend, the BatCats were absolutely on fire in the Friday and Saturday games, earning two straight run-rule victories over Houston 20-7 and […]
Kansas State Basketball: Belmont’s Tyler Lundblade Enters the Portal
Belmont’s head coach is now in Manhattan, and his star player, Tyler Lundblade, just hit the transfer portal. I have no idea whether he is interested in playing at Kansas State; however, it stands to reason he might be interested in Casey Alexander’s offense, given his success thus far. That offense now resides in Manhattan, […]
Kansas State Basketball: Coach Alexander – Style of Play – Offense
As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, Kansas State hired Belmont Coach Casey Alexander to replace the guy from Baylor who didn’t work out. After querying the other B.O.T.C. staff for suggestions, the first thing I want to try and tackle is Coach Alexander’s style of play, mainly because the last guy didn’t have one. […]
K-State Slate 3.16.26
*Editors note: Due to login and scheduling issues, this Slate from Sunday is being posted on Monday. It’s not April Fools Day just yet! The Sunday Slate is back! The famous Confucian admonition may be both blessing and curse, but at least we live in interesting times. Basketball Let’s just jump right in and address […]
Kansas State Baseball 2026 at Houston
As we head into spring break week in Manhattan, your Kansas State Wildcats will have to wait a few days to relax as they are on the road this weekend to open Big 12 play at Houston. K-State (13-4) is coming off a solid series sweep last weekend and a great midweek with a back-and-forth […]
Kansas State Basketball: How to Watch Utah State (25-6) vs UNLV (17-15) & Fan Discussion
For those of you lucky enough to have today off or a secluded cubicle, the Utah State vs UNLV game may be of particular interest. It’s no secret that Utah State Head Coach Jerrod Calhoun is at the top of Kansas State’s wish list to replace former Baylor assistant coach Jerome Tang (I’m going to […]
K-State Slate: 12 MAR 26
Quick and dirty today. Golf The Wildcat women faltered in the final round and finished fourth at the Yale Invitational West in La Quinta, Calif. on Tuesday. After entering day two at 6-under, the Cats posted a 15-over third round, pushing the team and everyone on it down the leaderboards. After being only two strokes […]
Kansas State Basketball: K-State 91 – BYU 105
The Wildcats made BYU earn it, but in the end, A.J. Dybantsa was inevitable. The freshman phenom broke the Big 12 Tournament freshman scoring record and the record for most field goals in a game in a game that wasn’t decided until midway through the second half. BYU also set the Big 12 record for […]

The Return of the K-State Slate
*tap tap* Is this thing on? It’s been a long, long while since your benevolent despot held the reins of the Slate, but it’s back now (just in time for there to be not that much to talk about, but that’s how it goes sometimes). The format is going to change somewhat, however. Some Slate […]

This weird, ugly season is finally almost over. We’ve reached was is very likely the penultimate game for the 2025-26 version of the Kansas State Wildcats men’s basketball squad.

Joe Bob Clements is back at K-State
“It’s a little weird to be adding someone to the coaching staff in March,“ your benevolent despot said when Joe Bob Clements posted a Powercat to social media and changed his X avatar. And while Clements is not taking on a role as a position coach, he has in fact returned to the Wildcats as […]
Kansas State Football: Texas A&M Film – Creating Space
Hey everyone, it’s been a minute since I’ve written anything about football, and I thought today would be a nice opportunity to put out something positive.

Kansas State Baseball 2026 at Louisiana (Lafayette)
After two big weekend series, your Kansas State Wildcats sit at 6-1 on the young season, including going 4-0 versus Big 10 opponents. Of course, the Big 10 is not a baseball conference (outside of the newer teams from the Pac-12), so you might temper your enthusiasm a bit — but it’s still way better […]

Your Kansas State Wildcats are back in action this weekend after coming off an opening weekend blitz that saw them start the season 4-0 with wins over Iowa, UConn, Penn State, and Air Force.
