"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

Why Does Kansas State
Call Itself Huggieville?

Embarrassing Colon
.




'Kansas State freshman basketball player Luis Colon spent time in two dressing rooms Wednesday night in Berkeley, Calif.

His own — and California’s.

Wildcats coach Bob Huggins made Colon, ejected for striking an opponent, enter the Golden Bears’ dressing room and apologize for his late-game actions. The ejection means Colon receives an NCAA-mandated one-game suspension.

Colon, a 6-foot-10 freshman, was whistled for striking 6-10 California freshman Taylor Harrison from behind with 6 minutes, 39 seconds left in the Golden Bears’ 78-48 thumping of K-State at Haas Pavilion.

“Luis’ actions last night are inexcusable and will not be tolerated,” Huggins said in a prepared statement on Thursday. “This is a tough game and you have to be mature and maintain your emotions. Luis understands that he made a mistake and there are consequences for his actions. This cannot happen again. This is an embarrassing situation.”

Colon will miss the Wildcats’ game Saturday against Colorado State in Fort Collins, Colo. If he is involved in another incident like that, Colon faces a season-ending suspension, K-State announced.'
