Cheer Loud, K-State
Back in December K-State played West Virginia and the big conversation was whether or not Bob Huggins should have been cheered or booed. There were plenty of great points on both sides. Those who cheered pointed out that Huggins gave the Cats the jump start they needed to be a top 25 type program again. […]
On Joe Paterno
When Joe Paterno was fired it was one of the biggest stories of 2011. Everyone was talking about it whether they were fans of college football or not. The Sandusky cover up, the scandal… it was too much to believe. Paterno took the fall for his failure to act. At the time at which he […]

They Call Him “Sweetness”
I was 7 years old when the ’85 Bears captivates the nation and became the true America’s team for a year. No one could resist the charms of this incredible cast of characters, from the Punky QB known as McMahon, The Fridge (The Rookie), Samurai Mike, and our man Dent. ((I assume you caught that […]
