Welcome to K-StateOnline.com, Rivals’ new site for Kansas State athletics. I’m Jeffrey Martin, the site’s managing editor and columnist. Some of you might remember me - I served as the K-State beat writer at the Wichita Eagle (and later at the Kansas City Star) from 2005-2009 - or the blog I launched, K-Stated. There was a ton happening during that span - LHC Bill Snyder’s (premature) retirement, the hiring of Ron Prince, Bob Huggins, Frank Martin and then Snyder again, Michael Beasley’s transcendent single season, a secret deal with Prince brokered by a novice athletic director - and my reporting was usually in the lead. The plan is for that to continue here at KSO, where I’ll be joined by senior writer Matt Hall, a K-State alum well-versed in Wildcat lore with a background at Rivals to boot, as well as our recruiting guru Derek Young, a former publisher and analyst at scout.com.
Our goal is to supply you with not only the best coverage of the Wildcats but also the most consistent coverage. In the process, we aim to engage - our presence on the message board will be substantial and we encourage feedback - and entertain - sports are fun, after all.
Take a look around and tell us what you think. I can be reached at [email protected]. Hit me up with anything you want, or anything you want to know, but here are some quick responses to what will probably be frequently asked questions:
I am living in Manhattan through the rest of the year but my family will remain in Portland, Ore., for the remainder of this season. I’ll be at every game, home and away, and almost every press conference.
I was contacted and hired by Rivals to serve in this capacity. In turn, I hired Hall, someone whose work and work ethic I’d always admired. (Plus I was in his wedding, so there’s that.) He is, in fact, the manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods in Manhattan, but I think you’ll find that he’s rather eager to get back to covering the Cats, so that’s what he’ll do for us.
You may be least familiar with Derek at the moment, but that will soon change. He’s a star. He’s going to handle recruiting at a different level than you’ve experienced in the past, and his background running Iowa’s Scout team site means he’s much more than just a recruiting analyst. We’re happy he’s on our side - and you’ll feel the same way.
We will have four writers with credentials at every home game.
Lastly, I am responsible for this site. Rivals used a talented and successful publisher as a consultant to find the best person to take over a site this network cares a ton about – but that was the extent of it. It’s up to me to guide our team as we entertain and delight all of you, and I’m up to the task.
Let’s get started.

Meek, Rake, Manbeck, Levi & JMart pak'd the most, but only one was an OG PAK'r AND part of the KATPAK 7.
well then might as well mention kurtz also
beth mandenhall
Yeah, bring those guys back.
Trim: you have to choose one K-State writer as your champion in a write-off to the death. Who do you take? TO THE DEATH, TRIM!
also, in my opinion, the rivals guys for us are all rly bad at writing. they have the access, but couldn't write their ways out of a paper sack full of hammered dogshit. d scott is fine. wallace is soooo bad. the big guy is ok but kind of a dipshit. cassidy seems smart in innumerable ways. the others, the string of 20 something kstate undergrads they've had on staff, are usually super bad. but, hey, we're all learning. and learning on the job in a high-stress gig with deadlines is not easy. respect.
I'm gonna roll w/Denis Clemente, CF3. Looks like we're on opposite sides of an issue yet again.
J Rake, you would have enjoyed Todd Stewart

Let's just bring back J Mart and have him setup his own site and then we give him money and read his stuff about the KSU cats. Deal?
I wish my best friend in the world Kellis was better.
10. mark jannsen - don't know if i spelled his name correctly, and frankly don't care. he was respected by almost nobody, he was rude and dismissive and needy, had a crusty personality and writing style, and often lifted quotes from others without attribution. his LHC Bill Snyder book was one of the most poorly formatted books i've ever read.

With all the money people save not paying for gE, that wouldn't be a bad way to spend whatever such an amazing service would cost.

My favorite beat guys, by the way:
1a: Cassidy. That's my dude. 'Nuff said.
1b: Meek. Stud. Really, really good.
2a: Levi. Could have been a monster.
2b: Hall. Also my dude.
That's all I got.
I want a Rivals cooler, in purple.

Hey! That's exclusive content!
Just kidding. Come on over - it's pretty calm over there.
And we're going to blow out some coverage of Fatty Fest, too. You have my word.
this is one of the most savage things i've ever seen in sports media. j-mart returns to manhattan, basically out of nowhere, takes over the rivals site, AND gets to retain all the subscribers?
i am a customer, but man, i want to be an investor.

I don't really know what's going on or care too much but I saw on the twitters that the first reply to Fitz post about moving to 247 was some guy bitching about just paying his Rivals fee the day before. Fitz just said he was sorry and Rivals wouldn't let him tell anyone sooner. :ROFL:
so gpc is no more?

correct
I've received some news that has shook up the rankings.
Order of operations for being a stud KSU reporter:
-Rivals - we've had our difference but is and always will be the premier spot for KSU information. no matter who is reporting there the network and resources are unmatched. Literally anyone could take a job there and be respected by me. Don't forget the link! https://kansasstate.rivals.com.-MHK Mercury - The local (what I call it). Tried and true stud journalist developer thing.
-Wichita Eagle - Former stud factory. Now kind pud factory'ish. Probably ranking it too high based on prior stud factory status.
-Collegian (good sports editor). Pretty good when they have the right dude or dudette in place.
-KC Star/CJ - The fact that the star is now on equal footing with the CJ says more about the star than the CJ
-1350 KMAN - Sometimes I like to hear my KSU scoops instead of read them
-Collegian (bad sports editor) - pretty garbagey when they don't
-MHK Mercury - The local (what I call it). Pretty garbage actually.
-Scout - Does scout still have a place?
-Hutchinson/Salina/Dodge City/Etc. papers - May have some stuff that you can read? not sure here
-247/bleacher report/non-sports forums where people sometimes talk about sports - all complete crap that I would never go to and you shouldn't either
what happens to gE now? beems was right all along
so gpc is no more?
correct
actually not true. if you type gopowercat into your browser it takes you to the rivals site that is now ran by JMart and it still has a post from Fitz on it!!!! :ROFL: Can anyone give a brief....i mean brief explanation as to how or why this happened? Did Fitz leave on purpose or did Rivals dump him?
what happens to gE now? beems was right all along
as long as we have steve dave we'll be fine
what happens to gE now? beems was right all along
what a cluster :lol:

Is 247 the scout site?
Is 247 the scout site?
I think so, not sure.
Is 247 the scout site?
(https://s3media.247sports.com/Uploads/Assets/164/573/7573164.jpg) Eventually, yes. The two networks are combining. Some things from Scout will be used (such as the front page) and some of 247. The timing of our contract change and the merger didn't line up ideally.
(https://s3media.247sports.com/Uploads/Assets/164/573/7573164.jpg) Ironically, this network doesn't consider customers' credit cards something to hold hostage. You can actually leave if you want to, but why would you want to?
In 1998, my wife, Becky, and I created our own K-State magazine, and a few months later, launched a K-State website, which was a founding site of the Rivals.com network.

He's is probably right about 24/7 / CBS Sports being a better platform. Fitz better hope his customers don't realize how great KSo will be tho.

out of curiosity, why? i've been on many 247 sites and can't stand the layout, autoplay videos and functionality compared to rivals sites. if you mean the recruiting info, then i can't speak to that, because i hate recruiting and don't pay any attention to it.

The legal issues, not good. Being a founding site on the Rivals network, pretty accurate. I remember when the network was trying to form. They were willing to sign some really marginal actors to be on the site, just to get coverage at each major school. Comparatively, K-State did pretty well compared to some rather good programs (I can't remember who it was than ran the absolutely awful Husker site). Believe it or not, they also contacted me to gauge my interest solely based upon an old football recruiting site I put together. I wondered what sort of Mickey Mouse operation these guys had to be at "Rivals" to look at my work and say to each other "Uh, yeah...that'll work!"
(https://s3media.247sports.com/Uploads/Assets/164/573/7573164.jpg) Quote from: some gpc loserSo what happens to the membership fee I paid when you were with Rivals?
Sadly, you paid Yahoo. Not us. I'm sorry you lost some money. I promise you will have a better experience here.
(https://s3media.247sports.com/Uploads/Assets/164/573/7573164.jpg) Some of those "ruffled feathers" is sincere, but I only sent about 50 emails to people I knew how to contact. That is less than 1.5 percent of the members. We just wanted some level of preparedness or NO ONE would have known what happened, leading to even more confusion. Much of the "ruffled feathers" is orchestrated as part of Rivals' gameplan, as is allowing people to say "Fitz was fired," which is a blatant lie.

Super late to the party, but I couldn't agree with this more. Janssen's longevity was the only thing he had going for him. Otherwise, he was a major tool. On more than one occasion, I was doing an one-on-one interview (admittedly as a new and fairly dumb college reporter), and he interrupted me to make small talk and openly laugh at my questions. Completely derailed two separate interviews, which I really didn't appreciate. Can also confirm that he lifted quotes from road games he didn't even attend, etc. His writing wasn't near good enough to make up for the crap human being he was.
he also used to stand creepily behind frank martin when asking questions, sort of like trump did to hillary at the one debate.

Ha, I don't remember that but I don't doubt it. Btw, Rake, you were still around when I was just getting started at the Collegian. I was never nearly as talented as you, Meek, etc., but you really helped turn me into at least a competent reporter. Hope you're doing well, man.

Important Kansas State Site Information
At the end of July, Scout.com transitioned to a new upgraded platform that will allow us to provide a greater level of products and services in the future.
Our next step in this process is merging the Scout.com and 247Sports Kansas State sites into one, which will take place on Sept. 19. This move will have no impact on your current account and you’ll actually be gaining more from it.
Recently, GoPowercat.com joined the 247Sports network so after this merge, you’ll be able to read free content and message board posts from Tim Fitzgerald and his staff of Kansas State insiders on GoPowercat.com along with the national recruiting experts from both 247Sports and Scout.
This move also allows us to centralize our engineering resources so it will be easier to develop new products and features in the future with one network which adds more value to your experience.
As we mentioned, you won’t have to change anything with your user name or account and any bookmarked URL will re-direct you to the single site. The merge will log you out of the site though so you’ll just have to log back in. If you have any trouble, don’t hesitate to contact [email protected] or call 1-888-508-3055.
Finally if you are interested in becoming a premium member to GoPowercat.com, now is your chance as we’re offering your first month of VIP access for only $1. Go to this link, select the monthly option and use the coupon code FIRSTMONTH and get your first month for a dollar.

No, but he did do an internship with Keitz this summer and now he appears to be pimping 610, since i'm assuming 810 wants nothing to do with those guys now.i have had to do some marketing stuff with 810 recently and every kietz alive is somehow on a board there. Didn’t his son write for ville or whatever

The other site reported it, but there was no way we were going to do that on the Tuesday before a crucial home. In the thread here about their report, I did hint that I also suffered a torn meniscus injury, which was my way of telling you the nature of the injury. (I guess dropping hints doesn't mean much now that others don't care about suffering the wrath of Coach Snyder.) We were told 4-6 weeks, but it could be season/career because bouncing back from it depends on the severity of the surgery and the patient.

Nah, for the joke to really work, it would have to be something that's already published on a comparable free site to ours, from which I could just copy and paste it here as part of our new installment - "Typed Words."

Wow, we get our archives back, JMart gets the KSU rivals site, and now there's premium articles there that source our ksufans-era threads (with links!) to document RP hanging Scott Frost off a balcony. What a great turn of events all this has been.
Should we talk about the kso message board rumor about Sisco and Mike McCoy, that JMart essentially confirmed in this thread or somewhere else?Here is good. Whats the scoop?

I don't think they are ever going to get your posts. you're running like a 40% getting it here rate so breaking into teens there is going to be almost impossible.
I've heard a pretty credible confirmation on the McCoy story.
Just a guess, but this probably wasn't the only reason he wasn't allowed to travel. It may have been the final straw, but it wasn't the only thing.
if true, do you guys think that the sideline cam is new?
agreed. he’s a weird guy not sure why this is a big dealif true, do you guys think that the sideline cam is new?
No. I bet Snyder has had it the entire time he's coached. This does not surprise me at all, though none of the former players I've talked to have ever mentioned it.
I just want to clarify, my source mentioned the McCoy suspension and why. I don't know anything about sideline cameras. That seems super weird.

bill being weird is nothing new to me. I highly doubt that his dinosaur ass is watching 3 hours of sideline film each week, that’s a job for a young coach. it’s also not all that surprising to me that this rumor exists given his attention to character development and i’m guessing given his advanced age, he may not want his youngsters jacking around on the sidelines during their games...not too surprisingagreed. he’s a weird guy not sure why this is a big dealif true, do you guys think that the sideline cam is new?

You don't think it's a big deal that he's weird, or you don't think he's s big deal that he films and watches the players on the sideline?

Someone texted me that Fitz threatened to get an attorney involved because I called him out for being a rough ridin' creep a few weeks ago.I heard he has hired an attorney and he’s filing suits against KSO. He’s probably adding you to the list.

Guys, Riley Gates, the kid that sounds like he's trying to speak a different language when discussing sports was the top choice to run a K-State sports site.
Or it was his dad, or they just wanted anyone from the previous staff to run it on the cheap, or whatever.
Either way, deal with it.

Link me that KSO thread as well
Lol I don't know how hard it is to get KSU media credentials is but considering that this whole thing started largely because Fitz was about having the only credentialed media in Vegas it seems like it wouldn't be too difficult for gpc to maybe pick up another credential.it started before that
Anyway, seems like a weird lie.

please post the replies, that's amazing
Someone ask them how long until they go tits up?
It will catch Fitz's attention and a question with tits will absolutely get a response from him.
I can see it due to my brother-in-laws Illinois subscription. He is bashing this site and calling out D. Young and Matt Hall. Says this place will go down in flames because it is tied to Yahoo and that this site is infatuated with him!!! Basically said they will withstand time and this site will go down. Also said this message board is a 'cesspool' and is more like goEMAW.com. Like I said, he calls out D. Young pretty hard by saying he claims things are his when they are actually their ideas. He seems pretty upset!
I would love to see the numbers here.....this board is 1,000 x's more active than that one! It seems they really feel that their hullabaloo doesn't stink!
I can only speak for myself, but the information pumped out by this site is much more enjoyable and has much more content than them. I cancelled my subscription when they were in charge of this site and came back and once I saw the Coffee with Chris series. I am very happy with being back! Was not a fan of them....

That is like the saddest brag I’ve ever seen. And I’ve read all the fanning brags.Half my brags are #elite AF. Riley has nothing on me. SMDH!
They drive to about 95% of the places they go now. Why do you think we have to hear about a thousand rough ridin' updates on Whataburger?I listen to The Short Side Option Podcast for all my K-State news, I don’t think I’ve heard a single Whataburger update (thank god because Whataburger sucks)
Honestly flying Riley to Austin was probably a pretty poor business decision.Honestly, I can’t believe print didn’t go the ESPN option from last year by doing their work at home while watching the game. They’re never gonna get a quote or crazy story by being on the road that they couldn’t get with a live feed from the press conference. Unless you break Samuels and suits of course. ;)

C’mon. Riley is a hack, isn’t he?

K-Noise bringing it
Can we start a betting pool on when Fitz & company finally have to shut it all down?
it's nice to finally have a former media member on board here at gE. would love to hear any past stories you have (favorite interviews, run-in's with celebs, etc).

He's referring to me. I've decided to move on from the Great Bend Tribune to pursue other options. I will say that that is the hardest working team I have ever been a part of, and it was an absolute honor.

Reading Riley’s tripe since middle of last week makes me think Beloit St Johns better work on its English teaching. Cause the kid has a plethora of language errors in his postings.
And don’t get me started on “10 Things (insert name) Said.” Isn’t that what Twitter is for? :dunno:

Brandon works on the business analytics side as mentioned by Rage Against the McKee. His team is in charge of all the pricing for their new arena Fiserv Forum and working on the other aspects of the game day experience (concessions, etc.). He also works with Marquette since they play there and with the concerts/shows that come to Fiserv Forum.
Brandon takes the time to come to Manhattan at least once a year to talk to both the Undergraduate Economics Club and Sports Economics classes at K-State. He also has worked to get internships at the Bucks for K-State undergraduate students. It's great to see his success and his efforts to benefit undergrads at K-State is very much appreciated.

He lost a crap ton of weight and said on KSO that he was sick but would only clarify that it wasn't the rona. Now he's getting a divorce too? That sucks, they have a son. Maybe the dudes at KSO will stop perving on his wife.

Don't forget to study. You know what they say, "work hard play hard."goEMAW is a lifestyle BBSi'm just here to continue mentoring clams, who is beginning college next fall.
Don't be too hard on yourself. They taste will grow on you as you mature, as it does with things like cilantro, pickles, and Indian food.
i can't wait. it's been my dream to go to ksu forever and it's finally here. the girls :love: the beer :love:

i don't drink very much because it tastes gross but will start trying to drink more beer my brother is home from florida in 2 weeks so he'll set me up with some brews :love:
so matt is in vegas right now tweeting selfies, and grumblings on kso that he's not with rivals anymore. this is a bizarre episode.ODD, but the mind does weird things during uncertain times.
Vegas is a good place to hit the reset button.
Guys, I don't know anything about the situation besides vague posts on the internets. Typically I'd steer away from personal stuff, but it seems he puts enough stuff on twitter he wants people to know/think things. So, any timelines and/or theories? I just can't piece it together.
Significant weight loss, claims Rona and time away from KSO but never tests positive, bizarre behavior during time away, wife leaves him, he saves a mass killing at Walmart and wants everyone to know, other odd twitter usage, joins Fitz at 24/7.
Feel like it could be an episode of Intervention or True Life or something.

Being a KSU-credentialed journalist makes you a complete weirdo if you don't get out in time.Get in, make your fortune, and get out ASAP. That was always my plan. There's not a long shelf life.
it would be bizarre if he didn't have a kid, but you'd have to do something kind of crazy to not get joint custody, moving half a country away won't help that cause
So from what I have gathered the divorce was rough, he is now a vegas resident and he is no longer at KSO. As long as the man is happy out west more power to him.

He has to be doing some sort of drugs, his behavior is just too bizarre.
More power to him trying to make a move for happiness, but as a father it's selfish AF.Yeah I think if it were up to me. Stay close. Maybe move to like KC or something make a new life and still get to see my kid that can't be easy at all.
He has to be doing some sort of drugs, his behavior is just too bizarre.
I feel bad even speculating, but it could be he stopped taking drugs that helped him a lot

This was my initial thought too. Seemed very manic. But what the hell do I know? If he went through a rough divorce, sometimes that really sends people down a spiral, even without some chemical imbalance.He has to be doing some sort of drugs, his behavior is just too bizarre.

woah, matt hall moved to vegas?
i knew a guy once who moved from manhattan KS to Las Vegas chasing a dream, and now he’s a smashing success. I’ll see if I can convince him to post here and give amazing analysis next time k-state has a coaching vacancy and everyone else wants to hire the loser from north texas.
Isn’t what’s left of KSO pretty weak? Most who joined there signed up to get J-Mart and Matt Hall. Now they get Derek the recruiting guy and the former intern?
I think this is a big opportunity for a goEMAW comeback. let me know if hiring and I’ll get my resume together.

It’s one guy doing basically everything and the other made up guy posts something once a week. They need to bring back Bart Raygun. Honestly they need to get a non traditional drake law student who used to work for the Des Moines Register on the payroll but that will never happen.There is no way someone like that would demean themselves to working for KSO while kicking so much asch being a BSAC in Iowa.
i'm legit not impressed with KSO right now, I applaud them trying to follow recruiting during rona' but the other content is really lacking. I miss their podcasts and retro pods. Also the boards suck, everyone can't take a joke so im probably not gonna re up my subscription this year. And with the 50 dollar sub fee ill probably subscribe to all of the local papers online. It's kinda crazy how much more content I would get for the price i am paying at KSO, else where.

If we hired him, would DLew do all his football posting here again?I've been doing more lately!
the people on KSO are such assholes.
Exactly. It's infuriating. People should be ashamed of themselves.the people on KSO are such assholes.
It's rough ridin' ridiculous. The amount of people on that board who are only happy when others are in misery seems way out of wack with the rest of civilization. I mean when ol boy tossing sandwiches, there were a ton of jokes here, and that was all fair. However, the amount of celebrating over that man losing his job, because they don't like his writing style, is sick.

Outside of thebalo’s dumbass BTK quip what exactly did you take exception to? I saw a couple of sandwich jokes, what am I missing?
we already have two longwinded gasbag asshats in @ksufreak and @ccox, don't need anymore
Do you believe you reap what you sow?
if you do, you'll understand why D Scott gets what he gets
Sarcasm font on thick. I like it.
Agreed... he was either the most dense person in America or just being a dbag. I was happy for him and his family that he was sobering up but annoyed how the GPC faithful decided he couldn’t be mocked in any way afterward.
It's exactly the same way people would hold a player accountable for their actions during a play, except this is more important because it's real life and not a game.
People are a reflection of their actions... He can act as "above" it as he wants to, that doesn't change his actions, or how he has treated people since then. I can't count the amount of times people were banned just because they disagreed with something and Dscott replied in the most condescending way possible, until it eventually ended with Fitz banning that person for disagreeing and not just taking the verbal assault Dscott threw at them.
Is it ok to not like him b.c he is a human pos who treats waitresses extremely disrespectful and sleezy when he and fatman would frequent their bar? Just wondering what is ok to have disdain for him and what isn't? How about this, he and fatman asking said waitresses to head back to a motel with the two of them for some "extra" fun? I have plenty of other stories similar to this one as well that have been verified by more than one person.
I mean what line do you draw so I know not to cross it??

I mean we literally have a carbon copy of that thread calling him an Aggieville Creepster delighting in his downward spiral to rehab and live tweeting the whole thing while he was there. As a side note it was a great re read and your stance has remained unbelievable consistent 5 years later which is remarkable and I really admire you for that.

Was this a planned-out thing for some time, like D.Scott had a contract running through September but it was known for a while that it wouldn't be renewed? Strange timing to assume there's no revenue to justify the employee when football is now actually happening and KSU fans are excited about it this week.
If it was just about being broke, Fitz should've furloughed him (or negotiated some adjustment to any contract) that would have D not working from April through when football was back, and then tried to sell more business with the combo of "football and D.Scott's stories are back!" Or get even cheaper/free student labor and cut D's salary and see if it gets better.
Unfortunately, a lot of covid shamers who told everyone to stay in until the end of time, are learning the consequences. Everyone is hurting and it’s best not to follow their lead.

They've been losing money for years and you know that. I don't know the specifics of fitz's books, but I'm guessing that it just became untenable to keep him on. Scott has been working for him for what I believe is 22 years, longer than Scott has been married and longer than his daughter has been alive. It's safe Fitz did what he could to keep Scott. My guess is that he was hoping to get enough subs once football season started to keep Scott, but a month in there hasn't been a turnaround so we're left here. I'm guessing the only reason he's still in that office in Poyntz is because of the lease.
I literally can't think of one single pay model in sports media doing well. The Athletic laid off 1/4 of their staff last summer, sports are back, those writers aren't.

Laying him off won't solve Fitz's money problem unless the handful of people paying him really are doing so just to privately talk to each other. But I think there was a difference between the gpc base as it relates to them liking D.Scott's work about KSU vs. normal people liking sports and wanting to read things about sports but being largely indifferent to who wrote the things.

Of course it isn't going to solve fitz's money issues. Are you proposing that fitz just stop paying him while expecting DSF to come to work? He can't pay the man, and he's paying three different people part time wages to cover recruiting and go to press conferences. I'm willing to bet those three part timers make a whole lot less than the one full timer who's been full time for 22 years. He had to be making a minimum of $45,000.
I guess I'm missing your point.
I would agree, retire and let D.Scott give it a whirl.Why'd Fitz lay D off?

I think he’d have a better chance of surviving, albeit still small, if he paid nobody else and cut D.Scott’s pay in half and hoped like hell that KSU football wins a lot and people pay to read D.Scott wax on about it.
Or maybe a more dignified thing to do would be to dip and let D.Scott take over the biz and see if he can salvage it.
This move seems shitty, late, and fruitless.
Why are gE numbers down right now? Doesn’t take a rocket science to understand sports blogs are down during a pandemic, especially ones you have to pay for.Wait, we have “numbers”?

There's a few more but I'll stop. Admittedly, on their own, it isn't like someone is calling his wife ugly and his daughter a whore, nothing that atrocious. However, it's just unnecessarily piling on. It's the same 5 or so miserable dipshits yuk yuking it up, all the time, always playing billy badasses, never treating people like actual humans; mracat, rowdypemaw, jarjar, ksufan684, ccox, thebalo, those dudes are toxic all of the time. I don't want to speak for dlew but if you're reading over there a lot, it can get old when every topic devolves into shitting on someone.Yeah it's exhausting. Piling on and being snarky about dscott immediately after he loses his job just seemed really mean spirited. Like MIR said, it's OK to poke fun at the guy when he does something publicly embarrassing, he kind of had that coming.

Putting the old man hat on... one of the best stories Fritch ever wrote was actually a column for the Collegian a little bit before he graduated. It was right after Michael Bishop mania had taken over the campus and the column was all about the 2-3 "other" Michael Bishops who went to K-State (what it was like for them to constantly be mistaken for the football playing Michael Bishop, how they used to get phone calls/emails all the time because there was still a student directory and people would look them up, etc.).
Probably doesn't seem quite as clever 20+ years later, but, at the time, it was a pretty creative angle for a story and much, much different than what anybody else was doing.

It definitely isn't, we're stuck as a fan base right now. GPC and KSO has the same access, KSO has a ton more subscribers, so their boards are more active. Matt Hall leaving has really killed KSO's access. I thought their relationship with the basketball coaches, while problematic to the coverage, manifested itself in some nice ways. That access appears to be over with Hall out. They also hardly ever podcast anything but game recaps anymore which tells me they've lost some access or they've lost enough subscribers that they feel the need to keep everything behind a pay wall. GPC podcasts a ton outside of game recaps but it's really bad, nothing much fact based at all, just fitz and his young and cheap crew offering opinions.
I'm not surprised by that, I just thought maybe Wallace would be a little more on the ball.

Deliver recruiting news more often than once a month through a summary "notebook" that is extremely light on info. The transfer coverage has been pretty bad too.I guess I just don’t get what you are looking for coverage wise that Derek doesn’t do that is possible in the current Covid environment?Well i'm about to IRL drop my sub to KSO and start subbing to GPC to see if it's any better.It's pretty wild that KSO hasn't gotten around to replacing Hall.

As most people know, the weekly Bill press conferences are pretty much a waste of everyone's time because Bill never actually answers any questions with any amount of substance. So, what typically happens, is most "reporters" don't even bother to ask questions and it's usually the same 3-4 people that ask most of the questions. As we can all probably guess, one of those people is Fritchen.
I can't remember for certain, but I think it was back in 99 during the press conference before K-State played at Nebraska. As Fritchen is prone to doing, he asked this incredibly long-winded question that took about an hour for him to spit out. It was basically something like "Bill, can you talk about what it's like being in a stadium like Nebraska's with 80,000 fans, a historic stadium, they're all yelling before the game, you're underneath the stadium and you can hear them yelling and you're trying to get your players ready for the game (it goes on and on and on and then ends with) can you tell us what you're actually doing right before you take the field?"
Bill pauses for about 10 seconds (probably mocking the fact that Fritch took five minutes to ask a question) and then Bill says, "What's that game that the youngsters like? Chutes and Ladders? Is that what it's called? That's what we do."
We need D. to put on his investigative journalist hat and get to the bottom of some crap. Like, what's the real story on the stolen baseball? What's the truth about Brent Venables?
What else?
What happened with the Venzy HCIW deal he had during Snyder 2.0
You think that was real?
I know I've been accused over the years of nepotism, but I honestly have no idea where any of that came from. I can't stand that little bitch. The only reason I kept him around was because of special teams. If special teams would have dropped out of the top 10 I would have canned his ass in a heartbeat.-LHC Bill Snyder
I want D-Scott to get confirmation on the story below
Its 1999 and our Wildcats are playing like crap against ISU, down 28-7 at half. Snyder doesn't say anything during halftime then right before they take the field he says "If you don't play better in the 2nd half I'm going to blow my brains out with a shotgun" or something to that effect and then they won 35-28.
No idea if its true or not
Perhaps we let D.Scott do his thing while gE writes the unauthorized and/or made-up biography of LHC Bill Snyder.

The way this story was told to me, all he said was "Don't rough ridin' disappoint me."
Happy DSF got work, but this will be Snyder's 4th book and he isn't someone I think is particularly deep or revelatory, so I think I'll pass. If it's discovered that he's covering new ground or if DSF is able to get him to actually honestly open up, I'll change my mind.
Looks like KSU's native son Riley Gates has turned coat and now is a phog.net contributor :surprised:You can have him.
what was it?I took it as the Life of Fitz podcast when he had Mangino on.

And I don't think putting it all out there on a K-State fans podcast is healthy either.
But maybe he's ready for it. (I still haven't listened)
Episode, singular?It sounded like he had a reaction to medication causing a manic episode. And then to make matters worse, incorrectly diagnosed as bi-polar (by a doctor) and put on those meds, which caused even more problems. Had a second opinion and they did a test for bi-polar, which he isn't (according to whatever test/observation they did).
Episode, singular?
Untreated, an episode of mania can last anywhere from a few days to several months. Most commonly, symptoms continue for a few weeks to a few months. Depression may follow shortly after, or not appear for weeks or months.
Many people with bipolar I disorder experience long periods without symptoms in between episodes. A minority has rapid-cycling symptoms of mania and depression, in which they may have distinct periods of mania or depression four or more times within a year. People can also have mood episodes with "mixed features," in which manic and depressive symptoms occur simultaneously, or may alternate from one pole to the other within the same day.
Honestly, D. Scott would be perfect for the KState Sports extra writer job that Corbin McGuire does (did?). Problem is that job is typically given to a recent Cats grad and I’m guessing the pay is reflective of that.
Edit: Looks like Corbin has moved on to a communications role with the NCAA.
Kurtz left today.
Kurtz left today.
This made me sad. Out of all of the people covering K-State he's easily the one that I'd want to hang out with the most. I'm glad he's going to continue doing stuff on his YouTube channel.
Between Manbeck, Fanning and now Kurtz, there is a verifiable dream team of ex-KSU Cats media dudes just chilling in KC rn.Honestly, I’ve been living vicariously through Kurtz for years. So proud of him on how far he made it. Happy he found a new job he loves too, that pays the bills!

If Kansas State cared about that demographic they would have done that decades ago. Everything I've seen from the KSU administration over the past says they don't care at best, and would rather discourage at worst.

i just thought the soup tweet was funny related to the roast beef sandwich thing he is known for. i like d scott.It kind of was funny and unique but the responses ITT were not
dscott is a kstate Institution and he doesn’t need a bunch of irrelevant pencil neck hacks on goEMAW who have never even written a single feature article giving him grief.If no one pushed you to be better, how do you think you could have strived for "Great Bend Sports Writer of the Year?"

By D. Scott Fritchen
The 91st day of Dr. Richard Linton’s tenure as President at Kansas State University found the 55-year-old donned in a lavender dress shirt, gray slacks and leading about 200 members of the Central Kansas Catbackers in a group cheer at Knights of Columbus on Main Street in Great Bend, Kansas on Tuesday evening.
This was Linton’s first-ever Catbacker Tour event, and he started off the evening’s festivities eager to fire up everybody in the room.
“Good evening, folks,” Linton said. “Maybe we should start this off with a cheer — what do you think? What if this half of the room says, “Let’s Go!” and this half of the room says, “Wildcats!” and when it gets loud enough, we’ll stop. Want to give it a shot?”
He orchestrated the attendees with his hands.
“This side!” he shouted, enthusiastically.
The crowd said, “Let’s go!”
“Other side!” he shouted.
The crowd said, “Wildcats!”
It was at this moment, at 6:47 p.m., his left hand resting against the podium in the front of the room, that Linton persisted. Purple star-shaped balloons adorned the white-walled banquet hall. The crowd chuckled at its own folly.
“That’s weak,” Linton said. “Let’s try it again.”
The left side of the room vigorously yelled, “LET’S GOOOOOO!!!!”
The right side answered, “WILDCATSSSSSS!!!!”
Linton nodded his head and smiled.
“Alright,” he said. “That’s better.”

It's official now. The rivals sure is more called EMAWonline and Mason is the managing editor. The Nebraska guy is no longer the publisher, it's now a lady from LSU. The two writers that work for Mason are two dudes I've never heard of, one from the Illinois rivals site and the other from the Arizona State rivals site.
Yahoo still have the nerve to charge $10 a month or $100 a year for this brand new site, with all of the writers new to the beat. They're rough ridin' ridiculous.

I don't think he's much younger than Derek Young was when he took over KSO. The salary of that job doesn't lend to getting a seasoned journo. Mason went to j school and he already has contacts with the department, in the SIDs office, and he has friends on the beat. He'll be fine.
The biggest piece of this that shocks me is how shitty the pay must be a KGSO. I knew Steckline Communications didn't pay jack crap, but damn.

Isn’t 247 relatively new?
Now the people who created 247 have created and/or bailed to on3?
Fitz took his gpc from rivals to 247 because the national stuff it offered was supposed to be a lot better, but now that stuff is with on3, and meanwhile the KSO people dumped rivals and slid into that on3 slot?
That is rough ridin' wild that there are at least 3 different places trying to sell subscriptions to kstate sports fans.
If Kansas State cared about that demographic they would have done that decades ago. Everything I've seen from the KSU administration over the past says they don't care at best, and would rather discourage at worst.
