Wildcats Getting Tough?


I guess there really is a new attitude in Manhattan as the Kansas State Wildcats are trying to beef up what has been a perennial weak non-conference schedule. Kansas State is putting the finishing touches on a home and home series with Miami.

The Hurricanes initially wanted to play Texas but the defending national champs backed away choosing instead to ink a deal with Central Florida.

Notre Dame was another choice but rumor has it that the Irish wanted Miami in South Bend but didn’t want to play at the Orange Bowl. Notre Dame instead wanted to play the return game in Jacksonville.
