You want Headlines? I'll give you headlines. Try some of these on for size:John Calipari posts LJW Headline contest in locker room to inspire his Memphis Tigers.Stay Classy KU Fans, because the LJW doesn't know how.KU's opponent disrespected by narrow sighted LJW Editors.Advertisers boycot Lawrence Journal World for irresponsible behaviour.Fans pile thousands of copies of the LJW on the paper's office doorstep to protest stupid decision.Bill Self Incensed at LJW for disrespecting Memphis.KU Players work hard to overcome stupidity of local paper.Editor at Lawrence Journal World fired for enraging Memphis team and fans.Fans cancel subscriptions to Lawrence Journal World in protest of it's irresponsible actions.Memphis papers print story about LJW disrespectful headline contest.ESPN Interviews LJW Editors about Headline Contest FiascoLawrence Journal World stoops to new low. Acts like a Mizery Paper.How many more do you want? I can think of hundreds and hundreds more.DELETE THIS CONTEST PLEASE. END THIS NOW BEFORE IT DOES FURTHER DAMAGE!This contest does NOT reflect my opinions about Memphis. The LJW does NOT speak for me! I respect Memphis and do not presume to write a championship headline before a game is played.Any Memphis fan reading this, please don't think everyone in Lawrence is an idiot. Just a couple Missouri Alumni that run the local paper.Please, fellow Jayhawk fans, protest this contest and get this contest pulled. QUICKLY!

Dewey Defeats TrumanAnyone remember that one?Writing a championship headline before the game is even played? Is it possible to be more classless than that?If you agree with me, please tell the Lawrence Journal World and ask them to delete this headline contest. We do NOT need John Calipari posting this in his locker room before KU's biggest game in years.Main Phone Number: 785-843-1000http://www2.kusports.com/staff/ryan_greene/contact/Ryan Greene, 785-832-6357http://www2.kusports.com/staff/nick_nelson/contact/KUSports Web ProducerNick Nelson, 785-832-6314Let's start making calls people.

Dewey defeats Truman. I beat the Urinal would have run that headline.Bad idea to post a winning headline before the game is even played. Fellow Jayhawk fans -- doesn't this screw with your superstitions about getting too far ahead of yourselves? I don't even want to think about what Self or the players would say. This is the kind of poor judgment people make fun of for years after the fact. Why not hold this contest on Monday night, after the game, win or lose?

For you guys who are bitching and moaning about this contest, are you aware that they ran this SAME contest before the UNC game? Didn't make a whole lot of difference, did it? You're not SERIOUSLY superstitious enough to believe that it will have the slightest impact on the game, are you? And you don't SERIOUSLY believe that Memphis will use a contest from a Lawrence paper as motivation for the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, do you? Two words come to mind: Lighten Up.

20-20 Hindsight:'Hawks crush Tigers for first title since '88

approx 5 years, 1 month ago

5DecadeHawk - this is a hypothetical contest in good fun. Nobody is saying that the Jayhawks have already won. They are writing what they would LIKE the title to be. If we're guilty of anything, it's putting so much weight on a GAME to begin with, but this exercise brings some levity to that.
