So I'm betting there's times when some scrubs are fighting for a spot on the team and they are going 100% while the starters are just trying to get in work and not get hurt, and then one of the scrubs cheap shots a starter or #2 even though it's a no pads day and stuff gets chippy. That happens right? Pretty sure it probably does.
-
And then they all end up lifting Rudy on their shoulders when he finally gets in the last game of his career, even though they hated him for going balls out in every walk through. He does it for them, to make them the best they can be. WE ARE K-STATE!
-
So... yeah... any practice stories?

I mean it's not like I posted this without knowing of AT LEAST ONE story that someone with first hand knowledge could talk about.
-
I think this kind of thing is only good for the starters. They need scrubs going balls out so they stay alert and focused.
-
I can't say too much but let's just say Collin has been very popular with his teammates who are all asking him "what's 'it' like?"
Of course, he is a gentleman and won't tell.
-
It would suck though if a starter or #2 got hurt right?

It won't happen if they stay on their toes. This team doesn't have enough talent to just coast through practice and still be good come game time.

I bet Collin is all humpy and stuff in practice now, he won`t line up in the shotgun, just wants to get behind the center,making everyone sniff his fingers.

So... yeah... any practice stories?
I won't get into specifics but let's just say certain players have been tearing it up big time and are pushing certain other players for starting spots.
-
Oh, I almost forgot, certain players are looking about 5x stronger than they looked last year. :fatty:
-
We could even talk about that silly thing that happened last year, water under the bridge and all...

I won't get into specifics but let's just say certain players have been tearing it up big time and are pushing certain other players for starting spots.
does one of these certain players have certain initials of DR? or DB?

I'd take that with a big grain of salt. What player has ever transitioned from QB to LB, and you have to ask why the hell was he playing QB to begin with then.

A backup running back angrily fired the ball at a freshman safety, triggering a practice melee Friday that involved about 20 players -- including Collin Klein -- at the Kansas State practice field.
It started with freshman safety Dante Barnett and running back Demarcus Robinson, and it quickly escalated into a brawl that caused reporters to scatter and came dangerously close to fans.
Afterward, quarterback Collin Klein strongly denounced the behavior.
"There's no excuse for it," said Klein, noting that he watched from an "advantageous" position. "There's no throwing the ball at a teammate and there's no shoving a guy out of bounds into the signs. One, it doesn't look good. Two, it sends the wrong message to our team. We want to take care of our guys ... I don't like to see it."
Robinson ran a sweep to the right sideline and received a hard push from Barnett. Robinson, a few yards out of bounds, fired the ball at Barnett and came toward him, throwing a punch. Cornerbacks Joseph Bonugli and Kip Daily, trailing the play, joined Barnett and went after Robinson and slammed him to the ground.
They fell to the ground about 25 feet from the sideline and within seconds, there was a huge pileup a few feet from the fence that separates fans from the field. To get there, the players trampled advertising placards that lined the periphery of the field.
Klein was one of the first players on the scene, trying to play the role of peacemaker. An angry head coach LHC Bill Snyder, perhaps concerned that it was so close to the fans, barged into the melee and started pulling away players.
It took only about a minute to restore order. There were no apparent injuries. Some players, off to the side, made light of the situation by taking fake swings at each other.
Later Snyder said it wasn't even close to the nastiest fight he's ever seen. He said they had "way better ones" in 1989, his first year as coach.
But he admitted that "I don't think I've ever seen a sign get knocked over in a fight because it happened on the sideline. But it wasn't a melee. Youngsters weren't throwing helmets. Sometimes when you're competing, things like that happen. I think we've had enough fights for camp, so I don't expect too many more after this one." Snyder said he agreed with Klein, citing the importance of protecting teammates.
In the heat of the moment, however, Robinson was not overly concerned about his teammates.
"Just competing ... got a little frustrated, and it just went from there," Robinson said.
Asked if he was trying to hurt Barnett, Robinson shrugged and said: "If you're fighting, what are you going to do, just love-tap him? It's a fight. It's football. Ain't nothing out of line."
Snyder spoke to both players after practice, and he also addressed the team.
"He tried to let everybody know, 'This is us, we're all we've got,' " said center B.J. Finney, paraphrasing the coach. "Ultimately, this is our team, so it's important we protect one another."
Dante Barnett, said, "Lost my temper for a second." Next thing he knew, he was on the bottom of a massive pile.
"I could hardly breathe because everybody was on top of me," said Barnett, adding that he'd never been involved in a fight.
Robinson seemed bemused by the entire incident.
"I like being on the bottom of the pile; you get cheap shots in," he said with a laugh, adding that he wouldn't take a cheap shot at a teammate.
Robinson said Snyder told him to "keep playing hard."
"It was something that just happened, spur of the moment," he said. "I'm over it now. We're teammates. I love him. We're moving on."
Later in practice, Robinson took a hard hit and walked slowly to the sideline. He called it a "stinger," proclaiming he was fine.
Tempers flared briefly near the end of practice, when cornerback Nigel Malone and tight end Travis Tannahill exchanged heated words.
After eight days of practice, the Wildcats are tired of hitting each other and want to play another team. That comes September 1st, when they open the season against the Missouri State Bears.
"I think we're looking to hit someone from a different team for once," Dante Barnett said.

ya sounds too good to be true, but it makes since that he didn't switch until this year. Tuggle was our backup QB last year if I'm not mistaking, so as far as team need went, we couldn't put him at linebacker.
even if he isn't that great, lb will still be a strength of this team

Thanks Bucket! So that's why Andre "Stonehands" McDonald always celebrates by doing "the jet":
ESPN
CORTLAND, N.Y. -- A backup running back angrily fired a football at the son of the running backs coach, triggering a practice melee Monday that involved about 20 players -- including Tim Tebow -- at the New York Jets' training camp.
It started with rookie safety D'Anton Lynn and running back Joe McKnight, and it quickly escalated into a brawl that caused reporters to scatter and came dangerously close to fans.
Afterward, quarterback Mark Sanchez strongly denounced the behavior.
"There's no excuse for it," said Sanchez, noting that he watched from an "advantageous" position. "There's no throwing the ball at a teammate and there's no shoving a guy out of bounds into the signs. One, it doesn't look good. Two, it sends the wrong message to our team. We want to take care of our guys ... I don't like to see it."
McKnight caught a pass near the sideline and received a hard push from Lynn, whose father, Anthony, is McKnight's position coach. McKnight fired the ball at D'Anton Lynn and came toward him, throwing a punch.
D'Anton Lynn joked that his father "was probably rooting for Joe."
They fell to the ground about 25 feet from the sideline and within seconds, there was a huge pileup a few feet from the fence that separates fans from the field. To get there, the players trampled advertising placards that lined the periphery of the field.
Tebow was one of the first players on the scene, trying to play the role of peacemaker. An angry Rex Ryan, perhaps concerned that it was so close to the fans, barged into the melee and started pulling away players.
It took only about a minute to restore order. There were no apparent injuries. Some players, off to the side, made light of the situation by taking fake swings at each other.
"Just competing ... got a little frustrated, and it just went from there," McKnight said.
Asked if he was trying to hurt Lynn, McKnight shrugged and said: "If you're fighting, what are you going to do, just love-tap him? It's a fight. It's football. Ain't nothing out of line."
The brawl won't help the Jets' image. After a turmoil-filled 2011 season, they've tried hard to rebuild their locker-room chemistry. Monday was an isolated incident, but it probably won't be perceived that way from the outside.
Ryan spoke to both players after practice, and he also addressed the team.
"He tried to let everybody know, 'This is us, we're all we've got,' " said tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson, paraphrasing the coach. "Ultimately, this is our team, so it's important we protect one another."
D'Anton Lynn, trying to make the team as an undrafted free agent from Penn State, said, "Lost my temper for a second." Next thing he knew, he was on the bottom of a massive pile.
"I could hardly breathe because everybody was on top of me," said Lynn, adding that he'd never been involved in a fight.
McKnight seemed bemused by the entire incident.
"I like being on the bottom of the pile; you get cheap shots in," he said with a laugh, adding that he wouldn't take a cheap shot at a teammate.
McKnight said Ryan told him to "keep playing hard." He said he didn't even realize he was fighting his position coach's son.
"It was something that just happened, spur of the moment," he said. "I'm over it now. We're teammates. I love him, just like I love his dad. We're moving on."
Later in practice, McKnight took a hard hit and walked slowly to the sideline. He called it a "stinger," proclaiming he was fine.
Tempers flared briefly near the end of practice, when cornerback Darrelle Revis and tight end Jeff Cumberland exchanged heated words.
After eight days of practice, the Jets are tired of hitting each other and want to play another team. That comes Friday night, when they open their preseason against the Cincinnati Bengals.
"I think we're looking to hit someone from a different team for once," D'Anton Lynn said.

Nick Reid mumped us straight up the ass, repeatedly. He moved from QB to LB with instant success at KU.

Man, if Robinson had 1/10th the heart of Hubert he could have made All-American. But after this fight I could see him dropping from the third team all the way to the prep team.

Dear Tre,
Quit fishing so much. I mean, fish enough to be good at it and to refresh and recharge yourself, but not enough that some ex-QB that "shied away from contact" steals your thunder.

I didn't read it that way. I mean, Tre is a badass on and off the field, and if Tuggle is really better than he is, then Tuggle must be really good.

I didn't read it that way either, but I like to seize the opportunity to motivate. Because 10 wins is NOT ENOUGH.
-
10 wins would totally be enough for me.
-
Psychologically I can see how at QB he could perceive hits to be career threatening while at LB they are career making.
-
Tuggle is significantly faster than tre, especially without a ball in his hands.

Maybe someone broke someone else's collar bone one time?
