Hello again everyone! Welcome back to another year of K-State football!

First I would like to start out and talk about how excited I am about the upgrades I have made to my algorithms. I am getting results far more significant than I ever have. This should remove any doubt that you might have that my research might be off even the slightest!

As you can see, my research is so significant that Trump even stated how Bigly it is. So now that all of that is out of the way, lets get on with the breakdown!



This might be the biggest home opener, we have ever seen as K-State fans. Central Arkansas Razorbacks aka Wal-mart Aggies!


The Razorbacks, also known as the Hogs, are the names of college sports teams at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway, Arkansas. The University of Central Arkansas student body voted to change the name of the school mascot (originally the Cardinals) in 1910 to the Central Arkansas Razorbacks after a hard fought battle against LSU in which they were said to play like a "wild band of Razorback hogs" by former coach Hugo Bezdek. The Central Arkansas Razorbacks are the only major sports team in the US with a porcine nickname, though the Texas A&M–Kingsville Javelinas play in Division II.

The University of Central Arkansas currently fields 19 total varsity teams (eight men's and 11 women's) in 13 sports. The eight men's varsity sports includes baseball, basketball,cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field; the 11 women's varsity sports includes basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball,swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. The Central Arkansas Razorbacks compete in the NCAA's Division I (I FBS in football) and is currently a member of the Southeastern Conference (Western Division).

Inside the state of Arkansas, the University of Central Arkansas has continued to maintain the policy of not competing against other in-state Division I schools. There are four other Division I schools in the state of Arkansas: Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, University of Arkansas at Little Rock, University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, and the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. ASU is the only school of the three to compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision; UALR does not have football, while UAPB and UA compete in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision.

On December 4, 2012, the University of Central Arkansas named Bret Bielema the football team's new head coach. The position was previously held by John L. Smith, who served as the interim coach while UCA found a replacement for Bobby Petrino after Petrino was released from his duties with cause on April 10, 2012. Petrino followed the ten season tenure of Houston Nutt. The team plays its home games either at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium, located on the University of Central Arkansas campus in Conway, or at War Memorial Stadium, located in Little Rock. In 1964, the Razorbacks were the only team to go through the regular season and a bowl game undefeated, and they were awarded the Football Writers Association of America National Championship. The 1969 team, led by quarterback Bill Montgomery, challenged the Texas Longhorns for a national championship in the Game of the Century.

List goes on and on...this place is a powerhouse!
