Nothing remotely self-congratulatory about this post, but after yet another of my unexcused absences - in your minds, anyway - this blog has resumed its regularly scheduled programming.
Not much to report, though.
- A series of text messages with Kansas State sports information director Kenny Lannou revealed the following tidbits:
1. Even with junior running back Leon Patton pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge of theft last week in Pottawatomie County Court, his indefinite suspension continues.
2. The physically unable to perform test that has gotten so much mileage in past years is scheduled for tonight, but there were plans - as of this afternoon - to make the results public until report day, which is Sunday, Aug. 3. Fall camp officially opens the next day.
- As for “Da Teen Party of the Yr” that Kwamaine “Bubba” Brown seems to be committed to - or so the flier suggests - I was puzzled by the Aug. 9 timing, which would coincide with - gasp! - media day at The Bill. Meanwhile, the rest of you, are simply wondering if the Florida phenom is simply going to make it to Manhattan.
No idea. I tried calling the number listed - it’s (407) 791-3832, and ask for Keem Dawg, if you’re interested - for clues at least seven times and no one ever answered.
But if you’re in Kissimmee on the 9th, remember - doors open at 9, and it’s $5 for ladies before 10.
- And, because I was once a target of his ire but have since won him over (I think), I’m linking to another K-State blog with a particularly interesting essay/take. He’s wondering if Ron Prince is on the hot seat this season, which a lot of national writers have suggested, which leaves me realizing national media really aren’t plugged in as much as you’d think. The short and accurate answer is “no, he’s not,” and there isn’t much debate. Write it down: there is little, if any, chance Prince doesn’t see Year 4. It’s Jon Wefald’s last year as president, Bob Krause’s first year… that would be too much bloodshed for both men in their respective situations. Can’t see it happening. And besides, Krause seems VERY supportive of Prince.

They should just give me your job
Why not? Want to trade? What do you do? Let’s switch for the week…
I message board all day and e-mail you sometimes. We already do the same thing.
Great point. Why stop a good thing?
Does the Eagle just wait until you write an entry and then automatically have another blog submit something so that this one gets pushed down right away?
The ire directed at you was thoroughly misguided and should have been entirely focused on Brian Butler. Let me very, very publicly state my mea culpa for that.
That said, thanks for the link.
Your absence was not unexcused at all. Hey, you’re the blogger. As far as I’m concerned, you can post a new one whenever you are durn well ready. Your schedule is busier than mine, I suspect. You need to understand, however, that Austin Meek has posted over 500 blogs since you listed the times of the Vegas Invitational, and 36 more since this latest one went up… hold on… make that 52. I know it is all Fam on the K-State beat, but at least try to represent.
J-Mart, do you have any idea of the dress code for “Da Teen Party of the Yr”? I’d hate to go and be under dressed.
welcome back,j.
Nice work.
I wouldnt wear blue.
Wow, J-Mart…
What has happened here? It’s like you have to get cleared thru “Special Security” just to leave a message here now…It’s almost easier just texting you directly!
Any Who…Stop leaving your readers hanging and get back to work…
Oh by the way…
HELLO EVERYBODY!
MamaSayZ-WE WANT AN UPDATE!! Long time no see.
Why is it $5 for ladies B4 10pm? How much is it for Dudz? What happens after 10? No more ladies? Teen parties are really weird this yr!
