Kansas State head coach Collin Klein refers to the Wildcats' plight as "a thousand little cuts" after their recent heartbreak — a 27-24 overtime loss at Colorado — marked their fourth loss in five Big 12 Conference games this season.
Jeff Mittie, on the verge of his 700th career victory and in his 13th season as Kansas State head women's basketball coach, has a goal for the Wildcats as they embark upon their season opener against Wichita State on Monday.
Collin Klein has been around college football for nearly 20 years. The first-year Kansas State head coach has never experienced anything quite like this.
One of the most pleasant sights on the Kansas State offense this fall, sure-handed Derrick Salley Jr., who arrived in Manhattan regarded as the nation's No. 1-rated junior college wide receiver, has shown the tools to be a standout pass catcher in the Big 12 Conference — if not in all of college football. And he's just getting started.
