Title: Favorite K-State Writer of all time? - It's Jmart, leader of Rivals.com K-State
Post by: Pete on August 30, 2017, 01:38:48 PM
Most of you know that Austin Meek is my muse (I miss him so much), but who do you guys like?  Who is your fav K-State writer of all time?


EDIT:  And, by the way,  the best writer ever just took over Rival.com's K-State site.

Quote
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.

If there was like a fantasy football draft for writers, and Meek is sitting there, I take him.  Objectively, I would have others higher than Meek, but not many.  He probably has an ADP of 4 or 5 otherwise.

JMart is probably the ADP 1 guy.  His popularity was second to none.  Janzen an Reichman (sp? on those)were institutions, but not particularly amusing to read.  Manbeck was like Bob Davis calling KU games, which I like.  Ubz isn't EMAW, but might as well be.

All of these guys have their own unique skills, just as we all have our own unique tastes.  What I do know is that generally speaking, rivals.com has always sought to have each university's fans serviced by the best writer specific for each school.  I'm sure that with a special season on the horizon for our 'cats, they'll make sure that is indeed the case for us EMAWs.  It's safe to say that whoever Rivals has in place for K-State by the time this season starts on Saturday is the BITB.  So as much as some of you people might not like to admit it, it's probably Fitz.

pvegs bread and butter/bait thread. meek was great. is in eugene now. good rough ridin' guy/writer if you believe in his online/social media life. i admittedly don't have the experience of following the cats through the years as a local that a lot of you guys have, but rn i love kellis. he will not bullshit you. just does the damn job. flourishes in the right places, but essentially is invested but not in love with the program in complicated personal ways (maybe). his prof on barnes this past wknd is a perfect example. he got the eff out of the way and had the kid do the talking. so now we all all know how much we enjoy and admire, mr. barnes. i don't know journalism well, but i think being an invisible voice/conduit while still being yr own person is key!

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.

Cassidy's w/big-boy national Rivals.

Even if Rivals has led their K-State site slide for a while now, I'm confident they'll finally give KSU the attention it deserves before this season gets going, and make sure they have whatever's best for EMAW in place.

Title: Re: Favorite K-State Writer of all time?
Post by: j rake on August 30, 2017, 03:53:50 PM
my k-state writer big board ...

1. jeffrey martin - the k-stated blog and the Q&A at the eagle site was consistently the most informative read. i think it is fair to say that he mostly owned that beat. i used to set my alarm clock at 1:59 am and read his stories when they were posted at 2 a.m.

2. austin meek - in 2007, literal seconds after okla st beat k-state in stillwater, austin asked if i was ready to send my story. he had just sent his. something about a "push-button deadline." all i had written was my byline. it was at that moment that i knew i would never make it in sports journalism. austin, however, was very good. broke some stories, reliable reporting, respected by all.

3. rob cassidy - better reporter than writer. always found good stories, asked a bunch of questions, had semi frequent scoops (typically with recruiting, but not always). in 2008, the night before a k-state practice, i was out drinking with rob and we both agreed we were going to lay into prince and ask him tough questions: ron, are you a micromanager? ron, why can't you get along with anybody? ron, why do you keep running off good coaches? the next morning came, and there were only a handful of reporters there. i rarely (almost never) asked questions at press conferences (there were real reporters trying to accomplish things, and i was a nobody), but in these small settings i often would. anyway, as was typical, prince got several softball questions and it was predictably boring and useless. rob looked at me. i looked at him. he looked at me. i took a deep breath and went for it. "so, ron, do you consider yourself to be a micromanager?" he looked at me like i was satan. "what do you mean by micromanager!?" it went downhill from there and got very contentious. i remember thinking afterward that my career was over before it started. that night, i had to write a story for the topeka paper, and i didn't address any of this exchange. i just wanted it to go away. meanwhile, d scott posted the transcript at GPC. a few posters at GPC read it and wanted to know who asked these disrespectful questions to prince. "this writer has a clear agenda!" rob never told anyone at the forum it was me, and i was appreciative.

4. howard richman - worked at the star for 25 years, and to my knowledge spent most of it covering k-state sports. it seemed like he burned out near the end of his run, but he was a good, steady reporter, and one of the coolest guys you could ever meet. i didn't talk to him much, but he was very approachable.

5. kellis robinett - he cracks the top five simply for longevity. never would have guessed he'd survive the first month on the k-state beat, let alone seven or eight years. people were so mean to him. he couldn't post a story without someone asking about his wife's jayhawk cookies. he's become a pretty solid writer and reporter. i read his stuff as regularly as anyone else's when searching for k-state info.

6. tim bisel - many forget, but he was the beat writer at the CJ pre austin, before becoming the sports editor. always enjoyed reading bisel's stuff. early in his tenure as sports editor, he occasionally wrote critical columns about the inept k-state athletic dept. i always loved to read negative k-state sports articles because they were so so so rare. those were the stories that excited me.

7. cole manbeck - used to refer to him as Fanbeck because he often griped in the press box when k-state made a bad play. can't really fault him for that though. others in the press box were also big fans, they just did a better job hiding it. cole took over the mercury beat after jannssen left, and it was a definite upgrade (more on that later). he had clear ambition and was hard working.

8. levi wolters - it is a tragedy that levi never became a k-state beat writer. but he was good enough as a correspondent to be added to this list of beat writers. my first year at k-state, i covered volleyball for the student paper. levi covered it for the eagle. problem is. i didn't know a rough ridin' thing about volleyball, and levi seemed to know everything. since my stories for weekend games didn't have to be filed until late sunday night, i could always open up levi's stories and steal all his details and observations. kidding! (kind of).

EDIT: levi might have only covered one game, Wichita vs K-State, but it was my first, and i definitely read his story six or seven times before writing mine. i didn't take journalism ethics until two years later. 

9. any collegian writer, past or present.

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.

Solid list @jrake. Agreed on the Janssen book, someone just gave it to me and good god it is possibly the worst writing I've ever read. It jumps all around and most of the time makes absolutely no sense.

I've come to enjoy Kellis and his writing style. He's a pretty solid twitter follow and the fact that he made it through years of abuse from fans earned some respect from me.

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

-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

sd, it takes a lot of maturity to publicly acknowledge Rivals as the top of the KSU media food chain, despite our past differences with their existing staff.  Congrats to you on being the bigger man in that beef, which is saying a lot in this scenario.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Rivals has lined up for us true K-Staters in the future!

Rivals is the premier network of college sports sites in America, and it's not even close.  They INVENTED recruiting coverage.  For example, Brian Gates used to go on and on about how great the national Rivals coverage was in assisting with KSU coverage.

Every single person on the face of the Earth knows Rivals is the best. 

I will always have my Rivals subscription.  I won't pay for anything else, that's for sure.

did you guys know that known stud and KSU Grad (this is important to me) Rob Cassidy is a NATIONAL rivals recruiting writer or reporter or some crap? well, he is. Also, rivals is owned by Yahoo. From the internet Yahoo. This is also important to me.

K-State grad Rob Cassidy (very important to me too) is a truly great part of Rivals that won't be changing anytime soon, and neither will my subscription to Rivals.

BUT, did you know that K-State grad Matt Hall (so important to me that he is a k-state guy) had also been a long time Rivals national guy?  Once again, Rivals shows it's stuff.  Maybe we will get to read K-Sate Grad (love that) Matt Hall write about his alma mater again someday?  Who knows?  Until then, it's nice to know my Rivals subscription gets me access to guys like that!

Quote from: JMart on Rivals.com K-State board
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.

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). Actually bad.

-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

From Fitz:

As a young sports journalist, a 1986 graduate of Kansas State, I dreamed big. Who doesn’t? It quickly became clear, however, that all I wanted to do was report on K-State sports. In 1995, I launched a K-State sports magazine for the Wichita Eagle. 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.

Since then, there’s never been a doubt what I wanted to do for the rest of my professional life.

Covering Kansas State sports is my life’s work. I guess you could say it’s my calling. Going back to my days at the K-State student newspaper, The Collegian, I’ve now been chronicling the Wildcats for more than 30 years.

From day one, our company’s motto has been straightforward: “For K-Staters, By K-Staters.” That hasn’t changed. We have always sought to provide K-State fans with the type of coverage they deserve.

Today our company, Spirit Street Publishing, Inc., is proud to announce that our website, GoPowercat.com, is joining the CBS family as the first site signed since CBS Interactive purchased Scout.com and merged it with its already strong 247Sports Network.

To be clear, we still own the domain GoPowercat.com, but the site is now a member of the 247Sports Network. If you have previously signed up at GPC, you actually are paying Rivals/Yahoo and now must follow us to our new home at 247Sports to receive GoPowercat.com content. Your existing subscription will not transfer to our new network. The good news is that CBS Interactive is investing heavily to provide K-State fans with an excellent experience, and thus, 247Sports is offering a great deal to encourage K-State fans to immediately make the move.

We trust that you want to continue to access the proven coverage you’ve always received from GoPowercat, and that’s why this decision was not taken lightly. I know what this move means for our company and for our longtime and loyal customers, who are now invited to follow us to our new home. Yes, we are still GoPowercat, but being part of the 247Sports Network will make us a better version of ourselves.

I take great pride in being a founding site on the Rivals.com network and that GoPowercat.com has been on the forefront of online sports coverage for nearly 20 years, but it’s that need to stay in front of a shifting market that led to this decision.

The new 247Sports Network is now the leader in school-specific coverage and offers publishers such as myself the best tools to succeed in a competitive market. In addition, 247 offers K-State fans the type of subscriber experience they deserve.

The reasons for the change are easy to explain: Better technology, better engineering, better market awareness, better leadership, better recruiting coverage, better customer service. This network will be a superior way to deliver Kansas State sports coverage to our passionate customers, and you will immediately notice the difference.

It has been hard for me to hide my displeasure with the stagnant environment that has existed at Rivals under its corporate leadership. A sports network such as Rivals has never seemed important to Yahoo, but it’s important to me, and it’s important to our family of subscribers.

And, most notably, it’s important to CBS Interactive, because leading the effort at 247Sports is the brightest in the business, my friend Shannon Terry. He built Rivals into what it was at its best and then did the same with 247. He does this work because he loves it, and his market foresight is unmatched. His leadership of the 247 team under the greater CBS umbrella was critical in my decision to join the network. His belief in the intelligent leadership of CBS Interactive, its understanding of this specific industry and its depth of media reach and knowledge will be a refreshing change.

This top-down expectation of excellence has always existed within our culture at GoPowercat.com. Thus, it's important to note that the long-standing members of our staff and the young talent who have aided in our coverage have all stayed with the GoPowercat team despite efforts from Rivals to hire them away to compete with GPC.

Included in that team is my associate editor, D. Scott Fritchen, who I consider to be the finest long-form sports feature writer currently working anywhere in sports writing. Rising star Riley Gates is still with us, as is his father, Brian, who helps oversee the daily content on the site, and so is Ryan Wallace, the nation's expert in K-State football recruiting.

In addition, Zac Carlson is joining our staff full-time to coordinate both our video and social media efforts, and, of course, former K-State safety Marcus Watts continues as our football analyst. There are plenty of others, and I have included a list of our staff members, full- and part-time, at the bottom of this letter. Every single one of them is a K-Stater interested in providing elite K-State sports coverage.

Plus, the 247Sports national recruiting staff is much more invested in covering Kansas State recruiting. The combination of the Scout and 247 recruiting staffs into one team creates an unmatched force in the game. Subscribers will immediately notice a greater attention to detail and a national analyst presence on our message boards. Bottom line: Kansas State matters to this national recruiting staff in a way fans have not previously experienced.

Know this, I would not have made this decision if it wasn’t best for everyone associated with GoPowercat.com, most importantly our passionate customers, current and future. I believe CBSi and 247 offer us the best vehicle to provide K-State fans the multimedia access they crave.

We cover K-State. That’s what we do. Telling K-State stories has never been, nor will it ever be, a fallback position in our careers. It is our career. It is our calling. I trust you will join all of us at GoPowercat.com as we merge into the 247Sports Network.

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!"

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.

Rivals always seemed to have random website issues and yahoo(or whoever) didn't seem to be putting much effort into upgrades. Not sure if things have been better since their latest updates. Have always heard billing issues were a pain with them too.
The site looks different than what i was accustomed to, so maybe it's better now. I think Rivals is still bitb when it comes to recruiting though.

You might be talking about Huskerpedia.  I think his name was Husker Dan or something like that.  The had a Sportspedia site that had recruited several schools, including Colorado, someone else, and Chad.  I forget his business partner name but he was the one who had Chad reach out to me to make KStateFans on the Sportspedia network.  I talked them into leaving that network since their ISP was such garbage and our site kept going down.  Husker Dan or Bob or whatever used to call me on the phone to convince me not to bail, with talk about stock options and stuff.  I'm sure it sounded magical to someone.  That's when Mjrod offered to take over.  After a while I got bored of all of it and just started posting here.

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.

9. any collegian writer, past or present.

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 LHC Bill Snyder book was one of the most poorly formatted books i've ever read.

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.

Guess I still had a scout account.  These fucks are trying to steal "important," which reminds me, I heard Fitz say something in the vandy pregame about "I'm not a tuck, but..."  I think it was in the context of "eff ku" chants.  We gotta sue all these fuckers hahahaha.

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.

Thank you,
247Sports/Scout Customer Support Team

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.

I guess people are saying that Fitz was fired.

Not even gE'n, I got this in an email.

Quote
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.

A poster over there said that the coaches are pissed at Sisco and made him stay home today because they think he was the source for KSO's reporting on his season ending injury. Matt Hall and JMart pretty much confirmed this story. Derek Young later came and said that Sisco wasn't kept home because of the injury disclosure. However, he refused to say why he stayed home.

The same poster said that McCoy was made to stay home today because Snyder's sideline camera caught him dancing on the sideline after a big play last week. This was not confirmed or denied.

Let's not bury this. Our head coach suspended one of our most promising young players for being too happy on the sideline. Not only this but he used a camera he has trained on the sideline to find the perp. LHC Bill Snyder IS WATCHING VIDEO OF OUR OWN SIDELINE, DURING THE DAMN SEASON!!!

The suspension is one thing, spending time watching a sideline cam is the height of absurdity.

_FAN, I know that you're aware of this but for those who don't; KSO has an anonymous former player, seems as if he graduated in '15 or '16, who stated that Snyder tapes the sidelines during games.

And let's not act like these guys don't know what they are in for. McCoy has several HS teammates on the team and he's from Topeka. His HS coach is a K-State guy and Snyder has went out of his way to work with his Geary. McCoy knows what is expected. Again, this video might be part of it, but its not the entire story and I'd guess its a very small part of the rationale for why didn't travel.

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 surprising

weird is the butter story or the side of the plane crap or his penchant for taco bell.  him keeping an eye on the behavior of his team during our games is probably one of the least surprising rumors i’ve heard

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.



Just repeatedly say "nah" to every demand that attorney makes of you and eventually hang up on him and you'll be fine.

I’m the opposite of worried. Suing me for saying that you tweeted something that you actually tweeted is an interesting strategy, Fitz.

Brian Gates is probably not super pleased with his kid right now.  That was a doozy of a teaching opportunity.

The Gates boys were smart to turn that opportunity down.  Would've been a financial disaster for them.

May as well keep sucking the Fitz teet for as long as its got milk.

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.

It goes back to what they were going at it about a few days ago when the gates boy said he was Rivals' first choice to take over for fitz.  Matt started a tell-all thread on KSO about all that went down, and fitz is mad about it.  So it got sparked up again today on twitter by some random, and fitz took issue with the part in the KSO thread re: how after this all went down fitz told matt that had he known, he'd have dumped some of his current crew to hire matt.  Matt decided to prove what he posted on KSO was accurate.

I love how these dipshits make a "the Decision" announcement on twitter for a kid who'll be making 24K a year. It's super rough ridin' adorable.

He prob already makes more than that. Doesn't his dad own the thing at least partly?

No and no

JMart's not doing the KSO stuff anymore.  He retains FOAT status, but there'll need to be a new current rankings.

Meanwhile, there's a KSO thread discussing the only active GPC thread, which is about JMart not doing KSO anymore.

Here is a KSO poster stating what Fitz said in that GPC thread with the relevant part bolded:

Quote
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....

K-State sports fandom (really all “sports” fandom) is a cesspool.  Not sure why anyone assumes otherwise.  It’s an entertainment business...being a “fan” of an entertainment business is super weird.  I do it, but I too am weird. 

Someone really needs to make K-State Sports Fandom Great Again

yeah that makes perfect sense.  also, quit pretending that this is an ethical issue or that you have any to begin with, thanks bro.  you literally stole the company that you claim to own and there's a court ruling saying as much you bowling shirt wearing smash mouth lead singer wanna be.

I subscribed to GPC during coach search time, knowing I was gonna get sick of all the self-congratulatory stuff. And I was right. Ive spent a few decades working in the media, and the first rule of media is don’t make the story about yourself. Young Riley does not subscribe to that tenet of journalism principle.
To wit: the ill-advised Tweet during last years NCAA tournament about Kentucky blowing off the post-game handshake line after losing to K-State...then when he caught some heat, he “had to get back to work” rather than manning up and owning it.
Fitz gushing over the crew for a solid days work a couple of weeks ago just seemed like he was trying a little too hard to justify the subscription price.
Now get off my lawn.

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:

Well this really steams me, Ken. I can confidently say that Mrs. Ludwig was the best English teacher west of Cloud County. TAKE IT BACK

(Though I suppose it's possible Riley had her after she left.)

Mrs Ludwig? I remember her from when I was attended high school 15 miles north of Beloit! Sorry to offend. I’m sure Riley’s bad habits occurred in J school at K-State. 😔

He said he was going to flex on everyone because he predicted the aaf would go under and he tagged a couple of people who heard him say it, just in case his followers didn't believe him.

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.

I've listened to a couple of the GoPowercat podcats with Fitz and Co recently.  I ask this in all seriousness with no malice... Did something happen to DScott over the last couple years that I'm unaware of? Like did he have a stroke or something like that?  There is a VERY noticeable difference in his speech and mannerisms compared to the other people on the podcast.

I hope that's all it is.  It's bizarre... everyone else is pretty conversational and discussing different points relating to the game/program and when they throw it to DScott it sounds like a robot reading at a 5th grade level from a script. He doesn't sound well at all.

Hey, CBS throws in CBS ALL Access as well (normally a $100 value - which when PSVue was being a pain on streaming some NFL games via the local affiliate, this was a godsend).  CBS just wants subscribers/viewers - it is all about the ad revenue and looks.

I don't post sports much here anymore because the sports boards here are pretty dead.  There's a lot of garbo on the KSO bbs, but there's at least a lot of discussion.

I can’t take the garbage on KSO. It’s the same 4 posters just wrecking every thread. A few months ago I decided the only KSO I was going to read was links they put out on twitter. I’ve also muted most of another group of K-State twitter. My only K-State content now is this site and KSO via twitter. The only thing I miss _fan.

It's some soap opera crap. Best I can tell Matt has tweeted about everything. He did say he may make a YouTube video talking about what's going on. From what I can tell, it started with a sickness that Derek Young is kinda making it sound like rehab. Then came a divorce, but looking at his wife's twitter she seemed to be with him in late April. Then came what seems like an unwanted wellness break imposed by the board owner who apparently is Sean from the Nebraska rivals board. He's also really taken the George Floyd stuff to heart, like fully in and it's completely chunkled his twitter account.

I remember when clams was just a wee little freshman in high school asking for advice on what to wear to his first homecoming dance. Now he's all grown up and ready to pound beers and make out with hot chicks.  :D

Clams, have you been practicing the drills I sent you to get better at drinking games? College is very similar to prison in that you have to assert your dominance in the first week on campus or live with the stigma of "The guy who lost us flip cup" for the next 4 years.

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.

Bossman: Hey, do you subscribe to gopowercat or whatever the new one is since fitz got booted?
ben ji: Nope, I'm a goEMAW man but I heard one of their guys went off the deep end.
Bossman: Yeah, wtf is up with that? I looked at his twitter and he's in vegas posting all sorts of random stuff. Are we gonna play football this year?
ben ji: Yeah his twitter is weird. No idea about football but I dont see how you keep 100 football players covid free once all the students get back in town and all the football players are making out with chicks 24/7.
Bossman: Yeah this sucks.


Big shout out to goEMAW for making me aware of this so I could advance my career by having a water cooler conversation with my boss about a kstate reporter.

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.

The kid isn't hers biologically.  He is Matt's child and she has helped raise him.  No idea how that works in the custody deal unless she adopted him?  The biological mom is not in the picture so that isn't an issue.

Assuming BSAC has no interest in that work and/or serving KSO's and GPC's common customers, a regular person we like should start up another for-profit competitor and finish stepping on Fitz's fat neck.

This will have 0 positive or negative impact on Fitz's business, even if Matt Hall does end up working for him, but no sports media business is taking on payroll right now. Even The Athletic just let like 50 writers go.

I have run a sports blog that covers my fantasy football league for the last 8 years (interviews with owners/weekly power rankings/etc) and am willing to take on the role of gE's lead columnist. Currently working with BSAC on compensation package.

I wondered what he had said(I blocked him). Saw a bunch of quote tweets and stuff. He’s such a tool.

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.

Repost in honor of Fritch - few love K-State more...

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."

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.

Quote
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.

Quote
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??


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.

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.

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.

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.

Why'd Fitz lay D off?

They're broke, like everyone else in sports media.

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.

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 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.

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.

Nope, he's right about Fitz retiring and letting DSF run the business. Fitz can't go to games, or do much of anything outside of home. I'm guessing the only thing preventing Fitz from doing that is that he's too young to get Medicare and Social Security and he needs the health insurance.

Paying Scott half of what he makes is a non starter for two reasons. Primarily, he can make more than that on unemployment. Secondarily, 247 and Rivals are recruiting sites first, Scott can't do that, the wedding DJamer is much more important to the business model.

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.

However, it's just unnecessarily piling on.

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. 

But laughing about a guy for losing his job is just cruel.

Yep.  The Matt Hall tale is a horrifying episode of how hard and fast your life can turn because of your brain betraying you.  A relatively stable, normal guy just flies off the deep end and threw it all away in a matter of months -- notwithstanding a bunch of people reaching out and checking on him. 

Could happen to anyone.  Legitimately really scary.

I think the reality of constant interaction and social media is detrimental to the emotional and mental health of a lot of journalist/media types these days, especially sports.

It's not like it used to be when you could just be the guy that writes the stories and columns, or when you were just the guy who was on TV at 10 pm doing the three minute sports report.

It's pretty wild that KSO hasn't gotten around to replacing Hall.  He left like 7 months ago.


They replaced him with Derek and didn’t give him a title change and hired an intern, the Nubb owner isn’t going to invest any more dollars when no competition exists.

D needs to be writing the be-all-end-all LHC Bill Snyder birth-to-death biography.  That is his calling, imo.

I saw a tweet from him that his wish for 2021 was finding a job writing about KSU sports and I hope that happens

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.

This seems to be 100% true.

Also, Matt managed the message board and was much more of an engaging front man for the site.

KSO hasn't done anything creative #content wise since Matt left. He really drove that site.

I'm not surprised by that, I just thought maybe Wallace would be a little more on the ball.  I agree that it seems like KSO's sources have completely dried up since Hall left. 

I'm a little surprised the board hasn't seemed to notice.

Are you talking about like Coffee with Chris stuff they used to do? That dried up when Matt was still around because the team sucked crap and I’m sure no coach wants to talk about why they suck every week.

Can’t tell if you are gE’ng on this but you already know it isn’t.  It’s not that KSO is above reproach 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? The message boards are always and will always be trash, that’s just a reflection of the fan base at large.

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. 

At least GPC had interviews with some signees.  There's a recruiting article on GPC about a '23 TE from Kapaun we recently offered. Nothing against DY because he was put in a bad spot -- and just left there.  But the product in its current state sucks ass.

It's tough to do but you rivals will still cancel this. The only way you can talk to someone with Yahoo is through some wonky live chat. Take screen shots, I had to do it twice because Yahoo refunded me then KSO/Rivals charged my card again, literally minutes after Yahoo cancelled me.

Repost in honor of Fritch - few love K-State more...

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."

Fritch should really put this story in. Shows the mischievous side of Bill.

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.

Ummmm, uhhhh, WTF
Per the Life of Fitz episode guide (i was looking for the mangino episode when i saw this):

This edition of the Life of Fitz podcast features host Tim Fitzgerald calling his former employee, Matt Hall, who became a competitor in recent years. Fitz and Matt had a public falling out when GoPowercat left the Rivals.com Network to join 247Sports and Matt became part of the new Rivals team that competed against GPC. Their relationship soured and their feud became public, but in the spring of 2020 everything changed. As Matt explains, he reacted poorly to some medication and it led to what his doctor now believes was a manic episode. He was either fired or quit his job at K-State Online, the Rivals site, and his divorce from his boss was also public. He moved to Las Vegas and when an expected job didn't work out, he came back to Kansas and now lives in Newton, Kansas, to gather his life together after a divorce, career change and personal financial ruin. However, when Matt began to struggle emotionally, Fitz and Matt reconnected as he tried to sort through what he was experiencing. Now, a year later, his one-year restriction on talking about K-State sports has expired and he's become a member of GoPowercat.com. It's been quite a journey.

The Mangino episode was pretty good, the Matt Hall one wasn't really revelatory at all, it was a bit of a therapy session for Matt. Fitz dropped a bomb that Matt "is with us now" but it turns out Matt is just a poster at GPC.

What I found interesting is that Fitz really almost graveled in apologizing to Mangino for apparently treating him poorly which I assume was talking bad about Mangino when he was coaching. However, when he spoke to Matt Hall he said "well if I did anything  to apologize for then I'm sorry." He tried to get Matt fired and tried to screw with his sources among other things.

Matt’s story is absolutely heartbreaking.

The two things he put out there that weren't out there over the summer is that he surmises that his manic episode may have been induced from meds he was prescribed for a shoulder injury. He also talked about how hard the fallout was for him, even people who don't know him who were being nice to him and asking him if he was okay retraumatized him because emphasized how public his episode was.

It seemed like a therapy session for him. Fitz didn't do much talking, Matt was pretty expressive and he cried quite a bit. Nothing wrong with that, of course.

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).

Quote
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.

He got the gig!

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 think it's fair to say that previous administrations we're indifferent to something like this, it we're even discussed. College sports all copy each other and I don't know of another athletic department other than UT that has a spanish language broadcast, they've had it since 1997! Hopefully the new president will be amenable to this. They could easily sell enough advertisements for it to pay for itself.

I have a friend (23) who has recently began his road to recovery from alcoholism (3 months sober) He has been very thankful for all of the help AA has offered him and his mentor in the program. It truly is an incredible organization.

If only we were more open about this,  I think there are people out there that want to quit, they just don't know how, it's so prevalent in our society.  I don't believe drinking is inherently bad, but it seems to wreck more things than it's ever fixed.  If any of you are trying, just keep going, you can do it!

Sky is an unbelievable individual, who’s been abused by cheap shots and continues to pound the stone. Unfortunately, this is not enough for some individuals. His legs are Jason White like right now, but his heart is Joe Montana like. Fortunately, all I need him to do is make a practice squad and when he doesn’t, or barely hangs around bumping around between the two, he’ll be the greatest goddamn coach oat.

It’s an admirable way to introduce a story via social media. The headlines, sub-headers and photos do a fine job of introducing the subject matter to potential readers on their own. Scott isn’t taking any attention from the story and putting it on himself either, which is a common faux paus.

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.”

Maybe if Mr. clams and D Lou had their own thread to profess their undying love for D Scott, they would quit shitting all over my celebration of Wyatt Thompson Thread. I am amazed that in all the decades that this message board has existed and for how many decades d Scott has been covering K State sports, there has never been a D Scott appreciation thread created.

It took a while for Derek Young to work his way to the top, but he has become a solid media representative for Kansas State. Props to Jmart for identifying this young talent when Fitz tried to burn Rivals to the ground.  Although I miss the Twitter wars between KSO and GoPo, I think it worked out well for K state. We have a solid presence on 24/7 and I think they are starting to grow and we still have a real strong presence on Rivals.  I think they both provide a different resource but K state deserves to have as many fan sites as possible. I think they are good to build our brand.

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.

This Julie lady from the LSU site seems like a polished journo, must have been pretty slim pickings to get a recognizable kstate dude that would take the bait and be the token face of the site.  I just don’t see it with Mason, maybe in like 10 years, but he is not ready to run that site IMO.

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.

I don’t think it’s official but he quit his job at KSGO in Wichita today and I’m speculating.

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.

This Julie lady from the LSU site seems like a polished journo, must have been pretty slim pickings to get a recognizable kstate dude that would take the bait and be the token face of the site.  I just don’t see it with Mason, maybe in like 10 years, but he is not ready to run that site IMO.

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.


This was exactly my first thought. I knew he wasn't rich but he had the main sports morning show in a decent sized city.

He’s heading up the KSU on3 site and Mason Voth is coming back to run the Rivals site.

It’s not really his age more of how casual he is.  Reminds of Grand Flanders, good reporter but doesn’t feel like he’s got the ambition or drive to run the whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong we will find out soon enough.

Fitz hosted a GPC Twitter Space tonight on KSU recruiting which essentially was a sales pitch for their 75% sub sale. Had 100+ listeners including Tang and Braet so it funny listening Wallace and Gilbert talk about them while they're in the room.

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.

247 is as old as goEMAW, it's just changed form and have had different partnerships along the way.

Fitz's change to 247 was simply a financial one. They wanted to beef up their team sites and offered a better deal. Other than getting a bigger cut of subs, it wasn't a great decision. He could have had the lions share of this business on on3 right now, but now he's second best and doesn't have the means to grow the GPC to be #1 again.

The KSO guys left for on3 because Yahoo continues to not devote resources to rivals and all on3 snapped up all the good national recruiting guys from rivals.

Rivals will stick around but will be a ghost town, certainly for K-State. As much as I like Mason, I'm not paying $100 a year for that. Their renewal rate is going to be atrocious.

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'm pretty sure the bulging disc I currently have can be classified as a disability.
