Ok, no one is calling it that. But, somehow Seth "Misfit Toy" Doege (you'll get that later) has worked his way up to 8th in the Heisman race primarily because there just isn't that much to choose from once you get past Klein. I am also looking for some white electrical tape to make the appropriate modifications to my Bishop jersey in the following manner:

This KSU uniform was probably edited in Photoshop, but I found this from Javonta Boyd posted today on Twitter. I asked him where he got it and he didn't respond back which leads me to believe he was either a) was studying film, b) focusing on the defensive playbook c) working on classwork, or d) rewatching the WV game as I've done three times now.

We will likely have to wait two years until Snyder retires to see any uniform changes come to fruition, but at least there's potential. Unless the next head coach is Sean Snyder.
And then of course nothing will change.

This is an amazing 146 image library of Collin Klein through the years at KSU.  |

All right, enough is enough. I'm not sure I've ever consumed as much Kansas State information in one week as I have starting at the West Virginia kickoff up to this point. Are you tired of reading about it? Of course you aren't. So let's finish Week 8 up strong with a final prediction ... i.e. a big win on Saturday.
We are living in incredible times. This KSU era is so dramatically rare, so historically unprecedented, so amazingly special, someday soon we will look back and realize how blessed we were to be living a dream season that some college football fans will never have an opportunity to experience. A season in which KSU has the potential to pull the ultimate college football tri-fecta: The Heisman, The Coach of the Year, The Title.
We are witnessing the evolution of perhaps the greatest single player in the history of the program. A player that transcends and reshapes the very standard of which all players, and certainly all future quarterbacks, will be held to. A man who by simply improving every day, from his first pass in 2010 to leading his team in the national title hunt, just refuses to lose. There are no equals in college football this season, and there are no equals in Kansas State history.
We are creating memories, you and I. Memories that will burn deep, good and bad, forever, regarding this season. I am planning to soak in every minute of this historic weekend. Every high five, every play, every moment of purple-induced euphoria. These are snapshots that will stand the test of the time and serve as a defining 36-hours for all K-State fans attending the game.
We know the Wildcats are primed and ready to face what the media has said is the most balanced team left on the KSU schedule. Snyder, Brown, and Klein will make sure of that. Unfortunately for Tech, all of their balance won't be enough. The Wildcats have forged their place among the Top 5 for 2012 and are on crash course for the national title. No pre-game hype, no media members and opposing fans predictions of a Tech upset, no single play will define the outcome of this game. Klein has now proven over 20 games in some of the most hostile venues in the country, he is a leader that will never quit. He is in full command of the KSU offense and is the centerpiece of the perfect Bill Snyder coached football team.
Saturday will be just another step for a team on a single-minded mission: prepare, execute, win, refocus. If we simply follow that formula for the next five games, the memories are only just beginning.
See you there.
