    Poor K-State. They're always doomed to be not quite good enough.

    Can it still be called Bennettville (like Huggins suggested) for 7-3 stiff Jason Bennett?

    Good for K-State ... Huggy's just not worth it.

    Morgantown going from Beilein to Huggins? That's a fall off a mountaintop.

    And at least K-State got a Nike deal -- I believe it's six years, $12 million -- basically because of Huggins.

    They might not like the fact that he up and left so quick, but without him there, they never would have seen that money. Or turned the program around as quickly as they did in one season.

    Hey! I just saw Huggins slither past my house on the way to Morgantown. Should I go pour salt on him?

    Good one, IJAG. I was on my way to the bank and I was listening to WHB interviewing the K-State pbp guy, Wyatt Thompson. He sounded like Huggy Bear shot his dog, took his wife, and pimped his daughter out on the street he was so surprised and saddened that Thuggins is going home.

    K-State fans are the biggest losers and whiners that I've come across.

    They taunted Bluebird loyalists who were bitter about a certain coach's defection to UNC. Now, they're just as if not more pissed off when Sluggins (thanks, Bubbler) bolts after one year. Whining, bitching purple pussies.

    Not for all sports, with Nike picking up the tab. I couldn't find the SI.com link, so yes, I am settling for the K-State Collegian here ...

    K-State joined an elite group of universities by signing a $12.3 million contract to have all 16 varsity sports sponsored by Nike.

    The deal makes K-State one of less than 12 universities to be fully compensated by Nike, said Bob Cavello, associate director of athletics. He said the contract also helps K-State to compete with the country's big-money programs.

    Nike's relationship with K-State began with a football contract in 1995. The men's and women's basketball teams were the next sports to be Nike sponsored.

    Before this year, all K-State varsity sports teams were able to buy Nike apparel at wholesale through an in-house account.
