Check out this video shot at the OSU game from RockHouse Motion. This year has seen an absolute explosion in impressive video/audio productions from various sources, so I guess being #2 in the country will have that affect.
This one, however, is as good as they get. When they make the movie someday about Kansas State's 2012 Championship season, this is what the trailer should look and feel like.
And if you're interested, check out this promotional video they also did for KSU Aviation.

"The Sky's The Limit" is Joe Posnanski's KSU article from four local sports writers at Sports on Earth regarding all four remaining undefeated teams; Oregon, Bama, and Notre Dame are also highlighted. A great series -- I'm obviously partial to how well Posnanski did for KSU.
That Alabama team is extraordinary, and that Oregon team is electrifying and that Notre Dame team has leprechauns protecting it at every turn.
But Kansas State is what this thing is all about. I know college football has become about imaginary games being played between these undefeated teams and how experts or computer programs or coaches believe they would turn out. That’s a shame, though. Kansas State is not flashy enough, glitzy enough, celebrated enough or historic enough to win those imaginary games.
But they aren’t really much interested in imaginary games in the middle of Kansas anyway. Kansas State football isn’t about imagination. Kansas State football is all about reality ... and bending it.

Here's a great article on Arthur Brown from the Kansas City Star on his journey to KSU.
From the start, Cosh realized Brown had leadership qualities. Only problem was, no one had ever asked him to lead.
“At Miami as well as in high school, it was always just go play,” Butler said. “That’s all coaches asked him to do. Arthur is a person who follows directions. So when he was given the direction to become more of a vocal leader, he took that responsibility and did it.”Challenge accepted. The year before he took the field, the Wildcats couldn’t stop a straightforward run.
Now they have the 36th-ranked defense in the nation.

The Bleacher Report loves Kansas State.
So much so, they are beginning to lobby for the Cats to be ranked #1. And 89% of the fans agree in their Fan Poll. They have all kinds of other KSU articles as well. None of them highly researched, but all of them full of purple soaked goodness.

Ivan Maisel kicks off the College Football podcast with David Ubben and they discuss Klein's status for Saturday. ESPN is fueling the internet rumors it's a wrist injury for Klein, but most around Manhattan agree it isn't.
It's pretty clear it was a head injury ... but not a serious one. I would very surprised if he didn't play on Saturday. I think it's pretty clear ... you don't take a guys helmet away with a wrist injury.
KSU has a better chance to stay ahead to in the BCS if Notre Dame and Oregon State continue to win. If ND loses, that's a ton of points Oregon will gain, probably enough to pass K-State.
It's going to be close, there's no doubt about that. I mentioned this last week, but voters place so much weight on these last 3 or 4 games, and it's very important for K-State to win, and win convincingly.

GoEMAW and ksu_FAN are at it again, breaking down the Kansas State offense.

So, we'll be heading to game this weekend, tailgating live from Amon Carter stadium in sunny Fort-Worth. We'll be bringing authentic Tex-Mex (Petra) from McKinney all the way west and are looking for a great place to tailgate 5 hours before kickoff. If you know of any great places (TCU fans -- I'm looking at you), please let me know via email: pdfreeland@gmail.com.
Should be a great day for college football, and an even better day for the Cats. TCU is a talented, well-coached team that is used to beating quality teams. They are playing at home, blacking out the stadium, and playing with a bit of chip on their shoulder after knocking of West Virginia on the road last week. KSU may be of their game a bit to start with Klein's injury being the major theme everyone will be looking out for.
But, this is just another business trip for the Cats. Like OSU last week and Tech before that, TCU has players at the skill positions, and has shown the ability to stop the run (BigXII leader in Run Defense), so expect the Cats to throw quite a bit in this game to try and open up the running game early on.
If KSU can avoid an early INT by BigXII leader Jason Verrett and establish the line of scrimmage and time of possession, I like K-State's chances to mercilessly take the lead early and never look back. This should be a convincing Cat win, 42-24.
BTW, my friend did inform me that the "... OSU game was technically a 50-20 win because if Klein had not been hurt we would of scored another TD (true) and that a more effective offense would of prevented the OSU offense from scoring again (maybe), so 44-30 really should of been more like 51-23. And I can't be held accountable for injuries in the 50-20 predicition."
So his future blog post is still in play. At least until Saturday.
