    Rewriting history

    The Chicago Cubs have won the National League Central and will be heading to the playoffs as the NL’s top seed. The Cubs were dominant throughout the year, clinching their playoff spot with over two weeks to go in the season and finishing the year with 103 victories. With this much success it’s easy to […]

    The end of Snyder?

    Everyone has that moment. That moment when you fall in love with someone or something. For K-State football, that moment for me was the 1995 Sunflower Showdown. I had just turned nine at the time, and my Grandpa, an alumnus of K-State when it was called Kansas State Agricultural College, decided he would take me […]

    This week in the Group of 5 – 10/4/16

    For goodness’ sake, College Football. You’re going to kill us all. We’re already dealing with the most stressful election year in recent memory so everyone is already on edge, and then you hand us a weekend where TEN RANKED TEAMS lose. There were stunning results all over the place. North Carolina took out Florida State […]

    The Astounding Fantasy Practitioner: Week 4

    My sincerest apologies for going MIA last week. I was in Las Vegas, unable to devote the requisite time towards a Week 3 wrap-up. I know what you’re thinking. I was three-sheets to the wind, with my pants around my ankles, on top of the Circus Circus clown. That’s why I didn’t write an article. […]

    NFL week 4 preview

    Only the Patriots, Ravens, Broncos, and Vikings are undefeated. Just like we all predicted they would be. The Patriots can win with anyone on their team. Literally anyone. Other than that, the NFL feels like a jumbled pack of mediocrity. Week 4 is here and maybe we’ll learn a little bit more about who’s good […]

    I remember a smoke filled apartment, with the Cubs play-by- play in the background visiting my great grandma. Let me tell you about my great grandma. She ran away and joined the circus as a teenager, she smoked up until a year before she passed away in 2002, and she was the biggest Cubs fan […]

    This week in the Group of 5 – 9/27/16

    Things progressed nicely in week four. Two more teams were dropped from the AP top 25 – Georgia got crushed by Ole Miss, and LSU lost by less than a TD to Auburn (but it was enough to get Les Miles fired). While, no, last weekend wasn’t one of insane underdog victories all over the […]

    An open letter to Kevin Garnett

    Dear Kevin Garnett, I didn’t know what to think when I heard the news on Friday. You know, the news that you would be retiring from the NBA after 21 seasons. I was sad and disappointed that one of my favorite players would be hanging them up. I still don’t understand why you have to […]

    NFL week 3 preview

    We’re two weeks into the NFL season and injuries are a-plenty. Confusion, frustration, and false hopes have all begun to settle in. I would just like to remind EVERYONE that it is week two. Week two of 17. That means there are 15 more weeks of games ahead of us. A lot can happen in […]
