I'd quickly get the picture of slobbering weird robert off the front of the page if possible.
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. 1 Jeffrey Martin, 20 minutes ago
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 think all three. Also, which of my formerly banned gpc names should I set back up on Jeff's site? Or, should I just register as Pete?
