Rock Chalk Talk, a Kansas Jayhawks community

"He (Dixon) knows he can come to us and say, 'This guy's an idiot. Take care of it,'" Bartlett said. "They were trying to distract him from his main goal, trying to get him off his game. We wanted to let him know we would do everything to make sure that didn't happen."

The Oklahoma City University Stars, an NAIA Division I women's basketball program, will travel up to Manhattan, Kan., to face Kansas State in a Nov. 3 exhibition at Bramlage Coliseum. Last year, OCU faced another Big 12 foe, losing to Missouri 68-66 when a shot at the buzzer failed to meet its mark. The Stars managed a quarterfinal appearance in the NAIA National Tournament and a 27-4 overall record. The Wildcats finished 21-11 and earned an invitation to the NCAA Tournament before falling in their first round contest. Coincidentally, new OCU assistant coach Claire Coggins was a standout performer for Kansas State where she was a two-time all-Big 12 selection.

Ok so the other day I cynically called out Ubben for his, shall we say, opinionated column for ESPN. But after this latest fiasco the case is clearly being made to support my hypothesis. This latest installment ranks Big 12 corners, of which, he ranks KSU dead last. Just review the comments to determine how much, if any, actual fact checking he did to formulate not only his opinion of the Cats but the rest of league in general. Bang up job Sir...bravo!

Ballin' is a Habit put together a great post on the 'Cats turn around. Good Stuff.

Just passing along that Kansas State has replaced Texas A&M in the Diamond Head Classic that UTEP will participate in next December. BracketCat from Bring on the Cats has some nice notes on why this is one of the better holiday tournaments to participate in.
