Kansas State Quarterback Josh Freeman Is Apparently on the Cheeseburger Diet

Fat, lazy, stupid?

Freeman just made Brian Hoyer incredibly jealous. Hot off the wires Fresh in my inbox:

WHB 810 in KC is reporting that [Freeman] showed up to the first [Wildcat] practice at 260lbs or so and failed his fitness test.

Josh Freeman is not exactly at Jared Lorenzen-level heavy - yet - but maybe we can classify him with another portly Kentucky Wildcat quarterback: Shane Boyd?

Thanks to being the team's starting quarterback and the brash use of the #1 uniform, there's a big ol' target on Freeman's back. We already know Bill Callahan hates him. Does he really need to draw the ire of the entire Kansas State fan base as well?

He had an eye-opening performance in beating a Colt McCoy-less Texas last year that had people thinking big things but this just isn't good news. Phil Steele lists him at 6-6/238 pounds so Freeman is clearly a big boy but few quarterbacks ever find that "ideal weight" anywhere north of 250 pounds especially as college sophomores.

Less beer, less cheeseburgers, a lot more windsprints and stadium steps and hopefully this resolves itself by the end of the month when Kansas State opens up on the road against Auburn. Now please excuse me while I sit down to a cheeseburger and a pint of Sam Adams.
