Originally posted on K-Stateonline.com by Derek Young A hot topic in the offseason and especially throughout fall camp was the status of Kansas State defensive end Khalid Duke. Heck, we’re not even sure how to designate him in regards to position anymore. He is listed as a ‘Sam’ linebacker on the depth chart. Duke was injured during the Nevada game a year ago and it cost him the rest of the season. The recovery process has lasted the entire offseason. And the discussion about his availability had been pretty mixed until head coach Chris Klieman took the podium during preseason camp and was…

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly wasted little time after a decisive victory in Kansas for abortion rights before sending out a national fundraising email warning that access to the procedure would be “on the chopping block” if her party did not win in the November elections. But her message to voters at large as she heads into the fall campaign is dramatically different, even as Democrats in other states stress abortion access as an issue.
