MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Bill Snyder moved at a brisk pace when he walked into his postgame press conference a few minutes after third-ranked Kansas State polished off a 55-24 victory against No. 13 Texas Tech. Must not have had much to tell the team after that one, eh Coach? ”I’m working on my conditioning,” Snyder said flatly.

The Wildcats led by a field goal at halftime before roaring…

Kansas state archaeologist Robert Hoard asked City Manager David Corliss in March to consider allowing him to do test excavations…
