It's Sunflower Showdown week, and neither fanbase is feeling particularly good about its football team.K-State is coming off a 35-16 loss to Houston, Kansas just fell to Utah, and both teams enter the rivalry searching for their first Big 12 win of the season.Joining Cocaine Willie for a record FIFTH appearance is Braiden Turner of the Ain't No Seats podcast, who returns to give us the KU perspective on one of the strangest Kansas football seasons in recent memory.We get into:- Lance Leipold's future: Is frustration growing in Lawrence, or are KU fans forgetting how far he's brought the program?- Andy Kotelnicki's return: Has the reunion actually delivered what Kansas expected?- The Border War: How much did losing to Missouri at home change the mood around KU football?- London Calling: Fireball Matt shares his experience watching KU lose to Arizona State at Wembley.- The Utah collapse: Another competitive game that got away from the Jayhawks.- The Sunflower Showdown: Where KU can exploit K-State's weaknesses, which program needs this win more, and whether the Wildcats' rivalry streak is in danger.- Score predictions: Let's just say the confidence in Manhattan isn't exactly overflowing.- Plus, a little rivalry trash talk and potentially some basketball discussion with Braiden.Presented by Auntie Mae's Parlor and Heartland Beef Connection.Get $25 off your Heartland Beef Connection match fee with promo code CW25 at HeartlandBeef.net.Cocaine Willie is the official K-State representative of The College Huddle.Subscribe for weekly Kansas State football coverage, Big 12 analysis, rivalry previews and general nonsense.Follow us: @cocainewillieMerch: cocainewillie.comGuest: Braiden Turner — Ain't No Seats

Bob is still sitting atop the Cocaine Willie Locks standings at 15-12-1.There's just one small problem: he went 1-4 last week and is officially this week's Bag Boy.Chef went 3-2 to climb to 13-14-1, Matt sits alongside him at 13-14-1, and suddenly we've got ourselves a race heading into Week 6.This week the boys are back with five more picks apiece — three Big 12 locks, one national lock and, as always, one disgusting Sicko Pick.WEEK 6 STORYLINES:- Bob tries to recover from a disastrous 1-4 week- Chef declares Nevada -9.5 his “easiest lock of all time”- Matt heads to Kennesaw State for his Sicko PickPlus, we make our Week 6 K-State vs. Houston Superlative predictions for Avery Johnson, the K-State rushing attack, Derrick Salley, Houston's rushing offense and our Players of the Game.Presented by Auntie Mae's Parlor and Heartland Beef Connection.Cocaine Willie is the official K-State representative of The College Huddle.Subscribe for weekly K-State football coverage, Big 12 picks, previews and general nonsense.

K-State is back from the bye at 3-1, and the Wildcats immediately get a major test as No. 22 Houston comes to Manhattan.Ryan Monceaux of GoCoogs.com joins Cocaine Willie for the third time as a guest to break down a Houston team that has taken a major step forward in Year 3 under Willie Fritz.We dig into Conner Weigman's development, Houston's physical rushing attack, one of the Big 12's best offensive lines, a defense that has been extremely difficult to run against, and the matchups that could decide Saturday's game.For K-State, the question is pretty simple: did the bye week fix what went wrong at Cincinnati?We break down:- Houston's offensive identity under Willie Fritz- Why Conner Weigman looks like a different quarterback- Houston's thunder-and-lightning backfield- K-State's run defense after allowing 271 yards at Cincinnati- Avery Johnson vs. Houston's defense- Whether Derrick Salley and the passing game can exploit Houston's secondary- The battle in the trenches- What each team has to do to win- Score predictions- And somehow... the Wiener HolePresented by Auntie Mae's Parlor and Heartland Beef Connection.Cocaine Willie is the official K-State representative of The College Huddle.

WEEK 5 LOCKS are here, and apparently we've learned absolutely nothing about unanimously picking the same Big 12 team.Bob, Chef and Matt ALL have BYU -6.5 at TCU this week, but that's about where the agreement ends.Bob enters Week 5 at 14-8-1 after another strong 3-1-1 week, while Chef and Matt are looking to bounce back after rough Week 4 performances.This week's card includes:🏈 BYU -6.5 at TCU — UNANIMOUS🏈 Cincinnati at Arizona — Bob and Matt take opposite sides🏈 Texas Tech at Colorado🏈 Arizona State vs. Baylor🏈 Houston vs. UCF🏈 Iowa State vs. West Virginia🏈 Florida at Missouri🏈 Ohio State at Iowa — another Bob/Chef-Matt disagreement🤢 Plus our weekly Sicko PicksAnd because apparently picking football games wasn't enough, we tried playing a game where we had $20 to bid on former Big 12 athletes.It... did not exactly go according to plan.Follow Cocaine Willie for weekly K-State and Big 12 football coverage, picks, previews and general nonsense.Presented by Auntie Mae's Parlor and Heartland Beef Connection.Cocaine Willie is the official K-State representative of the College Huddle.
