For the fans, by the fans.

You might be reading this and wondering how you can get involved in expressing your Wildcat spirit like me and many of your fellow Cat fans out there.  This is after all, going to be one of the best seasons in KSU history.  Are you just going to sit there and let it pass you by?  Are you just going to casually follow this epic march to the National Championship while records fall and legends are born?

No, you're not.  You need an outlet just like I do.  So, the way I see it, you've really got several choices to consider.

1) Start your own KSU news magazine and online empire like Tim Fitzgerald at GoPowercat.

2) Start your own viral online presence and hope it takes off like my new favorite celebrity (here doing his Miami post game video):


3) Start your own blog and write about Kansas State in hopes that people find your content funny and entertaining and then recruit people to follow you.

4) Skip all of the above and donate your time, energy, photos, videos, and general fandom to Purple Koolaid as a guest contributor and be recognized on one of the nation's fastest growing KSU websites.

In all seriousness, I want this to be a fun place for you to get your KSU fix as little or as often as you like, and doing that takes a lot of work.  I know many of you have access to resources that I don't, and you attend functions, games, pep rally's, auctions, Cat Backer events, etc. and can offer some great material to the cause.

You will always be recognized by name (unless you want to donate anonymously), and we can continue to build an interactive blog built by the very fans who enjoy what Kansas State is all about.

To that end, feel free to start sending in information.  I won't use everything.  I may not use anything.  But I can almost guarantee there's enough fans out there who read this who would have some pretty amazing stories to tell, photos to share, and videos to watch we'd all find interesting.

Even now, as you read this, you're thinking to yourself, you're dang right I've got some good stuff.  And I've always needed a forum to share it.  This is that forum.  And the more creative, the better.

First person who donates material that gets posted gets to be the first person who donates material that gets posted.

And I might throw in a free steak + a Growel Towel.
