Big plays and final moments from KSU's CUSA Football Championship by Kennesaw State Athletics
It's not a conspiracy if its true and what do you know, the Biden administration never wanted to find the J6 pipe bomber. This is exactly what all us conspiracy folks thought. Who could have guessed it? Ilhan Omar pokes at ICE, this can't end well for her voters. Another drug boat is vaporized as Dems keep defending the terrorists. Jackson County's new exec is working on the tax problems big time. The Chiefs say they are having their best practices of the year this week and I'll tell you why I hate hearing it. The Border War heats up Sunday at T-Mobile as everyone waits to see if Darryn Peterson plays. Collin Klein is announced as the new coach at KSU. The World Cup draw is here and Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com has your point spread picks.
Chris Klieman retired from coaching football Wednesday after 7 years at Kansas State, a whole bunch of wins and a Big 12 title. So why was this all so somber and strange? Even AD Gene Taylor came in after Klieman spoke (and took no questions) and started talking about retirement himself. Reports everywhere confirm that Collin Klein is the next head coach but Taylor said he hasn't talked to the former KSU star and doesn't have his phone number. Stan Weber will try to clear this up for us. Then, it's all Chiefs and Texans and the AFC playoff picture with Stan. Our Final Final is the opposite of "Play Ball!"
In hour three Larry talks to Dr. Wilfred Reilly, political science professor at KSU about whether or not war crimes have been committed by the Trump administration for bombing boats in international waters. In the second half of hour three, Larry asks Kenny "Sky" Walker, co-host of The Postgame Show to analyze the upcoming UK vs. UNC basketball game later tonight.

Dr. Wilfred Reilly of KSU political science department, reviews other instances in history where Presidents have bombed foreign targets without congressional consent. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Kristi Noem posted some serious truths and tough words on Monday that take a stance on illegal aliens like no other. It's beautiful and this is her best way to communicate. At the same time, a senator from Ohio has a perfect plan for American citizenship that should be passed as law ASAP. A Trump fan has a great idea for him to end all this gender ideology nonsense. Elton John says Trump could be on of the GOATS of the White House if he does one thing. A listener sends an email in that is just wonderful. In sports, Andy Reid gives up one of the most bizarre quotes ever while former KC quarterback Alex Smith drops truth bombs about this year's team. KSU basketball coach Jerome Tang already seems to be a dead man walking in Manhattan losing his third straight with millions of dollars worth of players. Social media influencers were all over KC Monday for the start of sports wagering in Missouri, golfer Justin Thomas is still whining about the Ryder Cup and two legendary broadcasters that have never called a basketball game together are about to.
The Drive reacted to KSU losing to Bowling Green and how it shows Tang might out as their basketball coach at the end of the season.
KSU (17-9): Head Coach Jason Mansfield & his (women's) volleyball returns to the NCAA Tournament since 2021 & will be playing on Friday afternoon in Lincoln, Nebraska!
It wasn't the perfect Sunday for the Chiefs but something did happen for Kansas City that provides a sliver a daylight on a path to the playoffs. Coach Lane Kiffen leaves Ole Miss for LSU even as his team is entering the College Football Playoff. He's now the bad guy and I don't like him much either. But he's clearly not the problem. We'll explain what is. Mizzou and KSU are headed to bowl games after finishing their regular seasons, KU is not. Lee's Summit is headed to the state football championship after starting the season 0-4. Sports betting is now live in Missouri. President Trump eyes Venezuela as he works toward peace in Ukraine. A former reporter in KC goes overboard on Pete Hegseth and a saloon in Idaho is offering free beer for a month if you help local authorities round up illegal aliens.
KSU (5-5): The K-State women's basketball team wrapped up their 3 games in 3 days adventure in Cancun as they ended up losing to South Dakota St. 82-70 on Saturday morning. Guard Taryn Sides was nominated All tournament team!

KSU (16-9, 9-8 Big 12): The K-State women's volleyball squad comeback but still their rally fall short in a 5-set game on Senior Night against UCF on Wednesday night.
It's a great time to be reflecting and thankful for what we have living in the greatest country in the history of man. We'll share a few thoughts. You sure wouldn't think dems are very thankful as universities are promoting Thanksgiving as a "day of mourning" and a mission to "decolonize" the holiday. This is happening while their leaders are trying to derail our military. Unbelievable. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt has some family drama going on as her nephews mom is being processed to get deported after being here illegally for over 25 years. We have the story of the very beginning of the Plaza lights in KC. KU rolls Syracuse in the Players Era tourney and will play for big money Wednesday night. KSU coach Jerome Tang apologizes again and already for being an unprepared, bad coach. When will it end? An ESPN announcer makes an outrageous statement about a backup player being the most powerful black man since Obama. Isiah Pacheco is back for the Chiefs Thursday and Lee Sterling has our point spread picks. Our Final Final is a blast from the past that has a new pitch to sell. You may just say, WOW.
KSU (16-8, 9-7 Big 12): K-State women's volleyball play their regular season home finale against UCF tonight in Manhattan (KS)! But 1st we take a look at their sweep of Houston last week.

KSU (5-6, 4-4 Big 12): A history making day for K-State's RB Joe Jackson was all for not as #12 Utah rallies late to beat the Wildcats last Saturday in probably one of the best games in the Big 12 conference.
The old adage "stats are for losers" almost applied to the Chiefs against the Colts except for one big, big thing. The Chiefs won. If you looked at all the numbers, this should have been a KC blowout as the defense was just spectacular against the best runningback in the NFL. But it's the same troubles that have plagued this team all year that put the Chiefs in a really tough spot. Penalties, sloppy turnovers and bad special teams. Take the win, clean up the rest for the home stretch. It looks like it actually got tougher to make the playoffs as all three teams at 7-4, in the playoffs, have wins over KC too. That means the Chiefs are two games back of all of them. It was a bummer of a college Saturday but nobody had it worse than KSU coach Chris Klieman who just lost it in his post game news conference, literally crying and asking for respect. Oh my. Trump wants to fix up Joint Base Andrews including their golf courses. Does this guy miss anything? Wait until you hear who he's asking for help. Also, Elon Musk nails it when it comes to our homeless problem in America, the AP is suing Trump over the Gulf of America and one of our sponsors is a very proud dad as his daughter's college volleyball team wins a national title.

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for November 21st Publish Date: November 21st Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Friday, November 21st and Happy Birthday to Stan The Man Musial I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cobb targets millions in federal funds to counter drones, boost World Cup security Smyrna denies five-story apartment building Interrogation videos highlight third day of trial for man accused of killing Acworth neighbors Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on rice All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: INGLES 10 STORY 1: Cobb targets millions in federal funds to counter drones, boost World Cup security Next summer, Cobb County will play host to international soccer teams prepping for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, one of the biggest sporting events ever. With Atlanta set to host eight matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Cobb will handle training, transportation, and fan events. But with that comes challenges—crowds, security, and logistics. To prepare, county officials are asking for Homeland Security grants to boost safety measures, including $7.5–$12 million for drone detection tech. Training sites? Atlanta United’s grounds in Marietta, KSU’s Fifth Third Stadium, and possibly Pace Academy. “The more popular the team, the bigger the crowds,” said Cobb EMA Director Cassie Mazloom. STORY 2: Smyrna denies five-story apartment building The Smyrna City Council shot down a rezoning request for a 250-unit apartment complex this week, with a 5-2 vote against the proposal. Wood Partners South Acquisitions LLC had pitched a five-story mixed-use development on 6.7 acres along Highlands Parkway, near Technology Court. The plan included 250 apartments—mostly one- and two-bedroom units—plus retail space, a pool, and a courtyard. Councilwoman Latonia Hines acknowledged the project’s quality but questioned the location. “It’s a great development—just not here,” she said. The Planning Board and city staff had already recommended denial, citing conflicts with the area’s industrial zoning. STORY 3: Interrogation videos highlight third day of trial for man accused of killing Acworth neighbors On the third day of Matthew Lanz’s murder trial, the defense finally had its turn. Lanz, now 26, sat quietly in a green jumpsuit, his hair unkempt, his face hidden behind a scruffy beard. Prosecutors played interrogation videos from 2021, where Lanz, then 22, denied killing his neighbors, Justin and Amber Hicks. “I didn’t murder them,” he said. “Someone murdered them.” The Hicks, both 31, were found shot to death in their home, their two-year-old son unharmed nearby. Lanz is accused of breaking in through a back window and pulling the trigger. The trial, a bench trial at the defense’s request, will hinge on Judge Sonja Brown’s decision. Prosecutors rested their case Wednesday, leaving the defense to decide if Lanz will testify. In one chilling video, Lanz asked police if Amber Hicks had been pregnant. She wasn’t, but his comment left the courtroom uneasy. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. We’ll be right back. Break: STRAND THEATRE STORY 4: State Senate election appears headed toward runoff It looks like Democrats Jaha Howard and Roger Bruce are headed for a runoff in the special election to fill the state Senate seat vacated by Jason Esteves. Unofficial results show Howard leading with 32.6% of the vote, followed by Bruce at 25.4%. The six-candidate race was a whirlwind, with just over a month to campaign. “We had to gear up in days,” Howard said, calling the campaign a “faith journey.” Bruce, a Capitol veteran with 22 years in the Georgia House, leaned on endorsements from big names like former Gov. Roy Barnes. The runoff is set for Dec. 16. STORY 5: Smyrna limits vape shop locations, approves Tolleson Aquatic Center contract This week, Smyrna’s City Council cracked down on vape shops, unanimously passing an ordinance to define and restrict them. “Right now, they’re just lumped in with general retail,” said Community Development Director Rusty Martin. “This lets us set some boundaries.” The new rules? Vape shops—defined as retailers primarily selling alternative nicotine or vapor products—can’t open within 1,000 feet of another vape shop, schools, or daycares. In other council news, Arrow Waste got the green light (6-1) for a temporary office on Riverview Road, despite concerns about a nearby fuel tank. Also approved: a $16.23M contract for the Tolleson Aquatic Center, set to open in 2027. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on rice We’ll have closing comments after this.

Illegal aliens committing crimes has reached critical mass all over America. After an ICE operation in Charlotte, 21,000 students call in sick for school. 140 Venezuelan gang bangers are caught in a sex ring in Texas and ICE rounds up 10 bad guys in Kansas. Then, the cherry on top. We have an alien terrorist from Uzbekistan driving through Kansas with a Pennsylvania CDL license. What could possible go wrong with a terrorist driving an 18 wheeler? So what do we do in KC? We rally up to release the Epstein files from decades ago. What a joke. KC car break ins continue to grow in Westport and so do thefts. In the aftermath of the Chiefs loss, did you notice all the haters that are out celebrating and bashing the team? But there is one thing NONE of them will say and it's hilarious. KU plays Duke Tuesday and they are a massive underdog without Darryn Peterson. KSU and MU win Monday. Stephen A. Smith says politicians from one party won't go on his podcast and Marco Rubio warns World Cup fans about coming to America.

Homeland security is now taking aim at the non citizen mayor of Coldwater, KS for voting illegally and criminal convictions in his past. Hey, they told us this never happens. If he's been a fraud for 40 years in Kansas, how many more are there nationwide. We have a lot of work to do. Right in the middle of an interview segment bashing President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, the host reads a legal disclaimer prepared by lawyers. You have to hear this. KC has federal money in fund to buy new busses but they won't be purchasing. They need it to operate during the World Cup instead. It's crazy how they are stealing our money to host this event. In sports, I have a bold prediction about the New England Patriots, Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com is here with his picks for MU, KSU and the Chiefs and our song of the week is a wonderful history lesson you will enjoy.
In the third hour of New Day with SSJ Steven and Nate college football with Coach Gary Barnett.
