Be honest. When you heard the news of this hiring, did you say, “Who?” I will be honest. It took me a quick Google search to find out who Casey Alexander is. Sure, the name sounded familiar, but I couldn’t place where he was from.

At least they didn’t finish last. That’s about the most positive thing I can say about this K-State men’s basketball season.

It’s been quite a week for K-State football fans, huh? I first learned something was up when a buddy texted me at 5:30 AM on Wednesday, saying he was hearing rumors. I asked for details and who the source was, and it was someone “in the know” who was hearing that Chris Klieman was retiring and that Collin Klein was coming back to Manhattan to be the next head coach of the Wildcats. I didn’t question the information, but I…
