Dugan Arnett has covered the KU football team for the Journal-World and KUSports.com since July of 2008. A 2006 graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism, he grew up in Kansas City and attended Blue Springs South High School, home of the Jaguars (ROAR!). Prior to arriving at the Journal-World, he spent 18 months as an enterprise/high school sports reporter in Port Charlotte, Fla., where he covered everything from skeet shooting championships to push-up competitions.
His greatest moment on the job came in July of 2009, when he witnessed Jayhawks quarterback Todd Reesing go unselected during a dodgeball draft at Langston Hughes Elementary.

Tech vows no more complacency
There’s been a lot of “fat little girlfriend” talk out of Lubbock, Texas, this week. In case you missed it, Texas Tech coach Mike Leach insinuated last week that his team’s 52-30 home loss to Texas A&M was due at least in part to his players’ “fat little girlfriends,” who apparently had spent the previous week telling their beaus how great they were and thus created a sense of complacency among members of the Red Raiders football team.
