first time reading this and as you can imagine it pisses me off.
Once it was determined Nick Marshall wouldn't graduate from Garden City in December and Texas was off the table, he became all K State. Garden City had 2 former K State All Americans on its staff, and they have sent countless players to them over the years. K State told Nick they wanted to sign him and Jake Waters, but Nick didn't care. Nick just wanted to get a fair shot at playing QB, and K State assured him that he would be the next Michael Bishop. Nick had made his mind up in early December that he wanted to go to K State, but the Heisman Trophy Ceremony actually changed everything. Colin Klein made the trip to New York in early December with Snyder and his OC. That night, the OC and Klein call Jake Waters on the phone and tell him that "He" will be the one representing K State in 2 years at the Heisman Ceremony. That wouldn't be such a big deal, but Klein accidentally told the press about it during his many interviews. Nick watched the ceremony and actually decided he would go ahead and commit to them on his upcoming visit, just a couple of days away. That quickly changed when the story about the phone call was printed in the Newspaper with quotes from Klein. Someone read the story and told Nick about it. Nick took it personally, and called the Garden City coach to tell him that he would rather not play College Football, than play for K State. They were immediately eliminated, and he became all Auburn. K State obviously signed Jake Waters.
