“I love live music and I like going to concerts, so it would be cool if there was a place right here in town,” Bartlett said. “I think it would bridge the gap between Aggieville and down town.”Annie Wehling, senior in human development and family

It’s a crisp Saturday in au tumn. The football game just concluded, and the Kansas State Wildcats are excited to take on the night.

“This is a project I have been looking to buy for the last five years, actually,” Richards said. “I wanted to buy it origi nally for the purpose of bringing culture to Manhattan. A lot of warehouses in bigger cities are being renovated for the purpose of culture, food halls, and activi ties. Just a way to maximize this already old beautiful space and use it for a different purpose.”
“One thing that we want to promote: we have five acts in October,” Richards said. “We have the whole gamut, from rock and roll, easy listening, to a lit tle heavier, to EDM. At the last event, we had a Kite’s food truck here, and alcohol. I think the unique thing here is that we are in a central part of Manhattan and we just have a lot of space to work Richardswith.” had the oppor tunity to speak directly with students and open a dialogue on what they would like to see brought to Manhattan.

Derek Richards, real estate broker and owner of the AG Press building, and Eric Kleiner, promoter and Richard’s busi ness partner for The Press, said they recognized the need for variety and options for residents in Manhattan. Richards said he purchased AG Press, located on Yuma Street, in April of this year, and he has big dreams for it.
“I taught at an entrepre neur class on campus in the business building and I asked a room of 200 students, ‘what do you guys want?’ and they basi cally described that they want Yard Bar, but bigger,” Richards said. “They want a place to go where they have space and feel comfortable being in a different environment. We are hoping to create a more welcoming place, or a place to just have variety.

A few months ago, a close friend suggested I look into a podcast called “Stuff You Should Know” by iHeartRadio. I turned my nose up at the thought — I was NOT a podcast person. That was until I listened to a SYSK episode called “Salem Witchcraft Trials: More Bonkers Than You “StuffKnow.”YouShould Know,” hosted by Charles “Chuck” W. Bryant and Josh Clark, is the perfect one-size-fits-all podcast. True to its name, the podcast covers all kinds of stuff. If you’re a true crime junkie, look no further. Interested in learning about how emotions work? This podcast can teach you that, too. Quite honestly, I’m convinced SYSK covers just about every random topic you could possibly
Listen to Stuff You Should Know through the iHeart website, on Spotify or through Apple Podcasts.

“Just go for it,” Moll said. “I’m not a theater person myself, but if you just want to express yourself, have fun and be supported, this is the place to be.”
One cost-effective way to receive quality entertainment at Kansas State is to visit one of the more obscure theatrical art performances on campus: On The Spot Improv, which takes place every Monday.
Braden Funk, senior in computer engineering, said he learned many skills through improv, many of which have helped him and several others on the“Improvteam. is just great in how it can apply to different parts of your life,” Funk said.

“Especially for people who struggle with public speaking, improv is a really great tool to help you feel like you always have something to say and bring to the table.”

I’m glad I’m Long-timehere.” member Patrick Moll, senior in computer science, has been acting for On The Spot Improv for two years and encourages students to participate in auditions.
There is no doubt that “Mr. Brightside” is the best party song at Kansas State. Unlike most other hype songs, “Mr. Brightside” is an alt-rock smash hit from the early 2000s. The most-heavily chanted part of the song surprisingly comes after the chorus is sung. The lyrics fall away to a chorus of rock guitars as partiers tra-
“No Hands” leaves no room for a slow introduction. Immediately, the song opens with its chorus. Although the lyrics are definitely not PG, there’s no better song to resurrect a party and get people to forget how sweaty and claustrophobic they are.

Lockett had his best season in 2020, catching 100 passes and 10 touchdowns, both career-highs. He also had a career-high 1,175 receiving yards last season. He also has three career punt/kick returns for touchdowns, but hasn’t had one since 2017.

Reed made two tackles, intercepted a Lamar Jackson pass and forced a fumble in the defeat. Sunday was also a bittersweet day for Reed, whose father passed away before the game. He dedicated his interception to his late father.

The Wildcats are on the verge of ranking in the AP Top 25, earning the 29th most points in votes at 77, only 12 points behind No. 25 ranked Oregon at 89 points. An impressive per formance could be what pushes K-State into the top 25 ahead of their big game against the Soon ers.
In each of the first two games, the Wildcat offense have found themselves more reliant on the run game than the air. That could simply be caused by the game script and the down pour against Missouri, but it has left offensive coordinator coach Klein’s offense looking somewhat one-dimensional.Whilethepass game hasn’t

While the most discussed sides of football are the offense and defense, the Wildcat special teams has left plenty to watch and impress. After recording a touchdown off of a blocked punt from Seth Porter in the first week, the unit collected another touchdown from Brooks on a 75-yard punt return touchdown against Missouri. The two touchdowns have provided a spark after defensive stops. The offense has
On the offensive side, Tulane is led by junior quarterback Michael Pratt. Pratt comes with 23 games under his belt, giving him experience in the position. Passing for 4669 yards in his career, Pratt has never been a high-level thrower of the football. He did throw for 318 yards against Alcorn State with five touchdowns in two games without throwing an interception.

The true concern for K-State is the possibility of overlooking the Green Wave and making the game closer than it should be. That may be a concern with many teams, but with the leadership of the Wildcats, starting with head coach Chris Kleiman and the rest of the staff and players, the chance of a falloff due to a lack of focus seems highly unlikely. K-State is a well-rounded team who thrives on fundamentals and making all the necessary plays. This game should go similarly to the first two games of the year even as sportsbooks see a possible “trap” game for the Wildcats.
While the offense has found success, it still missed opportunities. Against Missouri, the offense was placed in the Tiger’s field position three straight times off of defensive interceptions, and failed to score a touchdown on each drive.

Continuing to lead the offense is the run game, led by running back Deuce Vaughn. In the two games this season, Vaughn ran for 271 yards and three touchdowns. The entire offense has gained 532 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns. The 266 rushing yards per game average is near the peak of college football, coming in at the 12th most per game. Running the ball on the ground will be the key to the Wildcat offense this season while the passing game continues to look for its place.
