Moran's gone.

[Pett]

Prince just announced.

And the DT depth just gets smaller....

[michigancat]

f*ck

[WildCatzPhreak]

holy crap.

if there was one position we couldn't really afford to lose guys at, DT would be it.

[Meatbag]

Is he out for the year?

[Pett]

Is he out for the year?

Moving back to Florida. His Kansas State career is over.

[WildCatzPhreak]

I can't imagine him willingly leaving when he was going to be a starter.

I wonder what he could have done to get kicked off this close to the season?

*All assumptions.

[Meatbag]

Why is he leaving?  Doesn't like it here anymore?  Homesick?  Injured?  What?

[opcat]

One idea is that he might have gotten beaten out. 

[Bhyaaaaa!]

He wasn't in Olathe for the open practice. FWIW

[rumblefish]

 

And just like that we go from 6-6 to 4-8.

Fanfukingtastic.

And LOL to the maybe he got beat out comment.

[Bhyaaaaa!]

Alright Gabriel Crews lets see what you got!   

[AzCat]

And just like that we go from 6-6 to 4-8.

I'm considering revising my longstanding 3-9 prediction to 2-10.

robo?

[chum1]

Thank God.  He's bring dragging this team down for far too long.  The word is that he was caught drawing in a white comb over (a la Bill Snyder) on the famous Ron Prince photo and got booted off the team.  Poor guy just couldn't let go.  Did Ron over-react?  Hell yes, he did.  Is that why we love him?  Hell yes, it is.  Now let's go out there and cheer our asses off this season.  GO CATS!  &@#% 'EM UP, STATE!!!

[McGrowlTowelZac]

We still have some depth there, Cline, Crews, Balkom, Stewart, and Faustain, Abana.  Last year we had Blake Seiler in there half the year. 
The talent is there, its young, but hopefully, it will step up. 

All that said, still wish Moran was around.

How does one person make us go from 6-6 to 4-8?  You guys are truly amazing.  Like a bunch of chicken hawk fans. 

[Bullfn33]

This is really depressing news.  We really need him this season.  We can't afford to lose DL depth...not good.

[Legore]

This isn't good but I think some are overreacting.  Crews and Stewart are going to have to step up for sure. Cline will be the starter and is the only experienced guy we have.  We may also have to get Abana and Balkcom some work in the middle as well.  At least we're running a 3-4 so we only need one DT type on the field at a time rather then 2.  We  have enough depth to start the year and be fine we just need to hope we don't have anyone go down at that spot for any length of time.  

More then anything I'm disapointed that Moran never fulfilled his potential at K-State.  I was hoping this would be the year he would step up but I guess it was never meant to be.  He had the talent to be a very good player at KSU and at times played at a high level.  Just never grew up and put it all together.  I think he was one of the Snyder hold overs that just never got totally on board with Prince.  Hopefully just about all those guys are gone now.    

[ksuno1stunner]

X was going to start anyways.

[opcat]

How was Moran playing  ??

Average   

[Pete]

Prince just announced.

And the DT depth just gets smaller....

Times like this are when Ron reaches down deep and asks himself "What would Al Groh do?"

[Meatbag]

Al would force one of his top DT's to transfer to KSU

Hmmmmm, did you happen to catch the Rutgers or ku game last year??  Like when Ray Rice and John Cornish ran for 200+ yards in consecutive weeks on us to round out the season.

Interior DT's that can stop the run are sort of important.

A two game swing?  Easily.

You are kidding, right?

I have to admit that's cruelly funny.

This IS a joke...right?

[ksuno1stunner]

I wonder when exactly he quit.  Was it because X was a stud and started from day one?  IMO this is probably it.

[BMWJhawk]

Can't wait to see Manhatter spin this one.

[pissclams]

GOOD RIDDANCE I SAY.   LISTEN GENTLEMEN, THIS KID WAS A BAD SEED.  TRUST ME.  HE WAS LIKE A FUNGUS OR A TRENCHFOOT.  THE WAY I LOOK AT IS THIS. JUST ANOTHER ASSHEAD OUT OF OUR AREA.

[manbatter]

Good luck Moran.
