Say what you will about KU football, but at least they’re consistent. Nobody — and I mean NOBODY — beats Kansas eighteen times in a row and gets away with it. And Kansas State, apparently. Insert Hank Hill Garden Hose dot gif. Freshmen enrolling in college next...

Lance Leipold explains his frustration over KU's inability to beat Kansas State
The elements were all there. And all week, the Kansas Jayhawks heard the noise. Can you even beat K-State? Do you even remember what happened in 2008? For the KU faithful, the answer hinged on the fresh faces. The incoming class of freshmen and transfers had no recollection of Todd Reesing’s heroics. A quick YouTube search presents grainy footage of Jake Sharp’s 181-yard and four-touchdown performance. Yet, this Sunflower Showdown reached a familiar ending, with the Jayhawk faithful painfully enduring an 18th straight defeat Saturday. It’s an unrelenting saga with the same result: Kansas State standing triumphant — this time a 35-24 victory — over its crestfallen rival. “You know, all losses sting,” KU coach Lance Leipold said. “This one stings a lot because, again, there’s a lot of people that count on us in games like this. There’s a lot of people that want this streak snapped, myself included. “... Today was the day that mattered, and we didn’t rise to the occasion.” For 18 years, the Jayhawks have sat on the wrong side of history . In recent times, they’ve had hope of rewriting that script. But KU’s Sunflower Showdown futility has remained a continuous loop. It’s why

Kansas football game at Kansas State puts focus on KU's Dylan Edwards
LAWRENCE — Kansas football’s rivalry game Saturday, on the road against Kansas State , will garner attention for a lot of reasons. For one, K-State has dominated the recent history of this in-state clash and won 17 games in a row. For another, it’s a Big 12 Conference game that means a lot for the teams’ seasons, and there could be many others worth pointing toward. But one that’s getting highlighted a lot this week is the storyline involving KU redshirt junior running back Dylan Edwards. Edwards isn’t just a featured player in the Jayhawks’ offense — he’s someone who spent the past two seasons at Kansas State before transferring to Kansas ahead of the 2026 season. RELATED: Kansas State football vs Kansas predictions for Sunflower Showdown “I don’t want to speak for Dylan; obviously, I think people on both sides of this will look at this as a game — what I hope for is that Dylan just concentrates on what he has to do and focus on playing his best football,” Kansas head coach Lance Leipold said earlier this week, when asked if this game means more to Edwards. “I know in his time here, he has not

Nobody expects much from Kansas State basketball. That's OK for now
MANHATTAN — To no one's surprise, expectations for Kansas State basketball entering the 2026-27 season aren't very high. A revamped roster with no star power for a new head coach makes it understandable . The Big 12 released its preseason coaches poll on Thursday, Oct. 15, and ranked the Wildcats tied for 14th out of 16 teams. It aligns with other media and analytical preseason rankings, with K-State, Colorado and Utah making up the league's bottom three in various orders . KenPom, a popular college basketball analytics website, updated its rankings for the new season and projected Kansas State to finish last in the Big 12 with a 12-18 overall record and 4-14 in league play. It doesn't have the Wildcats winning a league game until the first week of February, when Big 12 play begins Jan. 2. New coach Casey Alexander has his work cut out for him. Alexander's history suggests that he'll find a way to get his team to play efficient offense at a high level. His Belmont team had the most efficient offense in college hoops last year, and it ranked no worse than 38th in the seven years he led his alma mater. It ranked
