Good News, Bad News - K-State vs. UMass Edition

Good news - The Kansas State Wildcats started the 2009 season 1-0 with a win on Saturday.

Bad news - The Wildcats nearly coughed up an 18 point lead, and only beat Division-IAA, FCS, brought to you by the letter B, YMCA opponent UMass by four, 21-17.

Good news - Saturday's game served as a "family reunion," with over 300 former K-State football players returning to watch the action.

Bad news - I know plenty of people that despise family reunions.

Good news - Legendary coach Bill Snyder also returned for the Wildcats, starting his second coaching sting at K-State.

Bad news - Snyder was not able to have former players like Terry Pierce, Terence Newman, Darren Sproles or Jordy Nelson suit up in purple.

Good news - The Wildcats will have an opportunity to get rid of the sour taste of their wafer-thin victory in less than a week.

Bad news - This chance will come in Lafayette, La., where the humidity may be near 123-percent by gameday. Weather forecasters are refusing to calculate the anticipated heat index, as the figure gives them brain cramps.
