SportsBeat KC: KSU’s Skylar Thompson can’t catch a break + meet new Mizzou beat writer
Kansas State quarterback Skylar Thompson suffered another injury, this time to his knee, that will force him to miss games.
Remember that a year ago Thompson missed half of the season with an injury. He returned for a sixth year and got off to a terrific start, with a resounding triumph over Stanford. Now he’s in recovery mode once again (though he won’t be out for the entire season, K-State officials say).
Beat writer Kellis Robinett discusses the Wildcats’ quarterback situation on today’s episode of SportsBeat KC. Also on the docket: The invitations have been extended and accepted, so Houston, Brigham Young, Central Florida and Cincinnati will be in the Big 12. We talk finances and scheduling possibilities.
After a break, you’ll meet new Missouri beat writer Lila Bromberg and hear about the path that brought her to The Star.
