Just spoke with Ron Freeman, Josh’s dad, and he wasn’t real keen on answering any of my questions regarding his son’s looming decision on whether to enter the NFL Draft or remain at Kansas State for his senior season.
“I’m not going to talk about that,” Mr. Freeman said.
There has been chatter that Josh’s dad is in contact with agents, talk that originated before the season began.
Again, Mr. Freeman wasn’t hearing it.
“That’s personal,” he said.
Bizarre, not quite as bizarre as Friday, but bizarre nonetheless.
The outcome at Faurot Field was expected. It wouldn’t be quite fair to say the Wildcats are simply playing out the rest of the season, but the situation is what it is. An obvious gag order has been placed on the team, as no one was willing to discuss in depth their feelings about Ron Prince’s firing.
Other than Prince, of course.
“There are a lot of young people on the team that were devastated by the news,” he said.
From the K-State sports information department:
The Kansas State Athletics Department announced Thursday that the Wildcats’ football game on November 15 against Nebraska will kick at 2:35 p.m. from Bill Snyder Family Stadium.
As a result of the contest not being selected as part of the Big 12 television package, Kansas State is exploring a pay-per-view cablecast option for the game. Details regarding a possible pay-per-view option, however, will not be finalized until Friday.
As you can imagine, yeah, I’m busy right now. Anyway, here you go. Enjoy.
The results don’t change, the comments don’t change.
Kansas State lost to Kansas again. And K-State fans are fed up with Ron Prince again.
But it’s worse now, isn’t it? Thinking about that, something struck me – if Prince had approval ratings, like the president does, it would be undoubtedly at its lowest right now, which I’m not condemning or supporting. The point I’m making is, the perception is out there that he’s not doing his job well.
Is it possible the same thoughts have trickled into his players’ minds? I mean, if everyone insists it’s the case, why wouldn’t the Wildcats suspect the same?
