It may not seem like it but football is just around the corner. Kansas State will begin practices in about a week, and the excitement is starting to build in Manhattan. The Wildcats will be tasked with defending their Big 12 championship.

However, K-State wasn’t chosen to repeat by the media when everyone convened in Arlington for Big 12 Media Days in the middle of July. Texas received the recognition and the honor, and Chris Klieman and the Wildcats were picked to end the year in second.

That would suggest two meetings between Kansas State and the Longhorns in Texas’ final year in the conference.

To have everyone prepared for the first kickoff the season when K-State hosts Southeast Missouri State inside Bill Snyder Family Stadium on September 2, we provide a link to every article that previews the Wildcat season.

Not a member? It is a great time to hop on the KSO bandwagon and consume Kansas State content at a great price. Sign up and receive elite inside information on the Wildcats roster, every practice nugget, breaking recruiting news and the top site for K-State basketball intel as well.

For a limited time only, it is just $1 for a month’s worth of the best Kansas State information or 25 percent off for the full year.

We look forward to an excellent K-State sports year and hopefully a duplicate or even better than last year when the Wildcats brought home a Big 12 championship on the gridiron and Jerome Tang and company advanced to an Elite Eight.
