Episode 8: KnowDan of Wide Right Natty Lite

Farmageddon looms just three days away, so naturally we invited our friends at the great Iowa State blog Wide Right Natty Lite to join us for this week's podcast. They sent over KnowDan, who spoke with us about Saturday's game, the state of ISU's season, the chances of Baylor running the table all the way to the national title game, and what an ideal Farmageddon trophy would look like. Enjoy!

Episode 7: WVUIE97 of the Smoking Musket

As some of you may recall, I was fortunate enough to go up to Morgantown for last year's Kansas State game, where I was invited to an excellent West Virginia pregame tailgate by some of the good folks at The Smoking Musket. One of them was the blog's manager, WVUIE97 or Mark in real life, and since West Virginia is visiting Manhattan this weekend, it seemed like a good time to catch up.

Regrettably, neither Mark nor any of his fellow bloggers are making the (admittedly quite long) trip, though of course I won't be there either. But along with fellow podcast regular Derek Smith, we had what I hope you will find to be an enlightening discussion on West Virginia's individual and team abilities, many of which seem to vary considerably from week to week.

We also spent some time talking about the ridiculous schedule WVU has faced and how they're feeling about life in the Big 12 in their second season. In case you were wondering, Derek and I were invited to The Smoking Musket's podcast, but sadly were unable to participate.

Episode 6: Peter Pope of Our Daily Bears

This week on the podcast, Derek and I welcomed pbpope of Our Daily Bears, who told us all about just how scary good Baylor's offense is, why he didn't expect a big dropoff after RGIII, and who might stop the Bears from winning the Big 12 (HINT: Not K-State). We also discussed Saturday's game and the ways in which the 'Cats might give themselves a chance, or at least not get completely embarrassed.

Be sure to check out the newest Our Daily Podcast — featuring a segment with Derek and Ahearn Alley — later this week. We'll be off next week for the bye, but expect more podcasting in two weeks prior to the West Virginia game. Enjoy!

Episode 5: Josh Kinder of the Manhattan Mercury

On this edition of the Bring on the Cats podcast, Manhattan Mercury sports editor and Friend of BOTC Josh Kinder assures us we aren't the only ones with some serious concerns about Kansas State's woes this season. We took the purple glasses off for this one, but there is some good news: The rest of the Big 12 doesn't appear to be that good, either.
