"It's time to roll up our sleeves and get to work."

With recruits coming for visits in the next few days, those were the final words of Tim Beck's prepared statement during the press conference Wednesday (Dec. 9) which announced him as the new head football coach at Pittsburg State University.

Beck, the assistant head football coach and offensive coordinator at Pittsburg State University, had been chosen by university president Dr. Steve Scott as acting head coach in the wake of Chuck Broyles' retirement from the position one week ago.

The "acting" part of the title is gone, as Beck is officially the 14th head coach in the football program's 102 years of existence.

The 2009 season of Pittsburg State University football will be remembered for many things, mostly on the negative side of the ledger.

One positive the fans of TeamKong.net will take with them from the 5-6 campaign is the performance of senior wide receiver Kendall Fisher -- their choice as the Gorillas' Player of the Year.

"I didn't even know I was up for (the award) until about couple of weeks ago," Fisher said. "A teacher at Garden Plain High School told my sister that I was up for it, and she then asked me if I knew anything about it. I'm really honored to be selected."
