Kansas State fires Jerome Tang | Bring On The Cats Two failed NIL spending sprees and an unhinged rant led Kansas State to hit the eject button early on Jerome Tang.

Can't say nobody saw this coming, although we didn't expect it until after the season For Reasons.

But hey, it got Jon to write something about basketball.

K-State No-Shows At Home, Avoids Worst Loss In Bramlage History The Wildcats were never in this one, looking lost from the tip before narrowly avoiding historic embarrassment.

I wrote some words for @botc.bsky.social.

Which was more effort than we got out of some college-aged athletes this afternoon.

Collin Klein introduced as Kansas State’s 36th head football coach | Bring On The Cats There was more humor than surprise in Collin Klein’s introductory press conference, but one thing is sure: WE HYPE.

The important parts of today's introductory press conference as OUR BOY IS HOME

Asked where he grew the most over the last two years, Klein stresses that getting out of his comfort zone, being with a different team, in a different conference, did wonders for him.

And that's the end of the remarks.

05.12.2025 22:43 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

"Coach Snyder facetimed me" is the wildest thing said so far

Okay, I am not happy about Klein saying "we're going to have a schematic advantage" because Charlie Weis has scarred us all

Klein gives big thanks to Mike Elko and the A&M staff, too. Says they made this possible.

Klein's thanks to Klieman for retaning him originally, for promoting him, for continuing to mentor him while he was at A&M... serious chills, y'all. And then "Coach Snyder... thank you. Thank you for creating that Powercat the year I was born."

Gene Taylor reports that when Chris Klieman came in to tell him he was returing, Klieman told him to call Collin Klein.

Klein told Taylor he was taking the job before they even discussed any terms.

K-State Football: Chris Klieman was the right coach at the right time. | Bring On The Cats Chris Klieman pulled off one of the most challenging tasks in college athletics. He successfully replaced a legend.

First, let us treat you to Drew's farewell laudatio to Chris Klieman:

Big 12 Championship. One of just three coaches in school history with a conference crown.

7-0 vs KU

Put him in the Ring. And I wouldn't say no to a bust outside Vanier.

Derek Young is saying Chris Klieman should be in the Ring of Honor and my stance is "Duh?"

second-winningest coach in school history

meets coaching eligiblity requirements for the CFB HoF

Only coach in school history to beat Kansas more than once and never lose to them

Joe Jackson leads Kansas State to a 24-14 win over Colorado and a bowl | Bring On The Cats The Cats are bowl-eligible, but it shouldn’t have been this hard.

The Cats escape with a 24-14 win, but it was ugly for 40 minutes and raises more questions. Our recap, thoughts, players of the game (and the year):
