Nebraska's quest for North takes hit with dismissal of Castille

Unless your talking about a Heisman type guy, running backs are a dime-a-dozen. Unless he's an elite runner, it's all about the offensive line and having a QB that can take some of the pressure off.

In other words, if Nebraska's line is effective and their QB can present at least some threat to keep defenders out of the box, then it won't matter if it's Castille or somebody else.

Tharp mature freshman

It's awesome to have a true freshman exceeding expectations. It's usually NOT awesome to have a true freshman competing for a starting spot at "physical" position like LB.

He could be the exception to the rule, but this generally is less about that particular player and more about the other guys competing for the job.

KU sells courtside basketball seats for $15,000 each

Wow, imagine how much money we could get for seating on (not at) mid-court.

I can hear the A.D.'s sales pitch "Now you can not only be near the action, but IN the action! We realize that having seats actually on the court is against the rules and will generate technical fouls for the home team, but 'we need to find revenue wherever we can.' We're excited to offer you this unique opportunity for only $2 billion per season".

Jayhawk Flashback: Georgia Tech, 1/1/2005

For the most part, all of the guys who transferred away from Bill Self in the past 5 or so years kind of flamed out (Giddens was the exception).

Watching Galindo make the impact he did as a freshman at KU, I thought he'd be a star on the lower level (Florida Atlantic?), but he was just an above-average player there.

Giles was a complete bust. Micah Downs went from seriously considering skipping college all together to not even being a non-NBA prospect.

Was there somebody else who transferred in those first few years? It seems like I'm forgetting somebody.

Kansas deep, versatile

njjayhawk is apparently looking for some hard-hitting journalism from the sports section of a college town newspaper. It's worth noting that said reader read that sports section for free.

People need to lay off Keegan, except for when he pimps K-State, he does a very good job and quite entertaining - which is his purpose.

When you have to start paying to read his stuff, or you pay his salary, then you can complain.

KU basketball notebook

I must be mistaken, but I was pretty sure both Morris twins played together in the middle of the second half when Cole got into some foul trouble.

Football closing talent gap

The other, Toto, was Earnest Norman, a MLB. He appears to something of a nut, though, and there are rumors that he's since softened on Nebraska - or NU has softened on him.

KU football and Ryan Greene — what could be better? (Spodcasters)

Thanks, Jesse. I have a new work laptop and I can't get it to work. I tried it on my desktop and your instructions work fine and it worked on my old laptop. Is there any other way to download them?

Almost-Jayhawks: Which ones still make you wonder?

Even though Lopez turned out ok, he wasn't worth the circus imo.
