Looking out for No. 1

Well, hometown stud. Don't get me wrong Jake is a maniac on the field and a nice guy off. It's just when you have talent like Boyd and Bean you can't let it get away. these guys should've been used somewhere on the field. Hell, for all I know you could have had them bring Donuts for morning practice and snack cakes for the afternoon practice. Just get them ready and get them on the field. Good luck KU.

Looking out for No. 1

Donte Bean and Carmon are from Tx. neither one of these guys were given the same opportunity as Jake. Jake Sharp was a hometown hero. From what I've heard even when Donte was given a chance to perform, which was rare, it was usually behind the 2nd offense, going against the #1 defense. Seems to me failure was inevitable. If you check, rivals had Bean ranked higher than Jake coming out of High school even with the three hundred + carries the yardage and Td's Jake had. My suggestion to a kid deciding on a college to attend, avoid those with a hometown hero coming in. I believe KU had five great backs that could have performed somewhere on the field but, they decided to focus on a chosen few. You don't give a kid $130,000+ scholarship and not give him the same opportunity to succeed.

Was Pendleton so flippin' wrong?

Football is brutal and that's the way we like it. Don't make it a Gentlemen sport. It's not what we want. Don't penalies a player for running 70 yds. for a TD, who turns and taunts the opposing player who can't run as fast, like Bush did. Hell, it's out right funny to finally see these players whom, all their lives where told, by their Dads, who coach them through pee-wee on up, that they were good at football, get burnt on the field. What Raimond did was not bad at all. That ref needs to go and call a tennis match.

Hey, Ku fans. Hope your season goes well. I've been hearing alot about RB Sharp & McAnderson. What's going on with the TX. RB Bean. I watched him alot in high school He was hot and he wasn't even given the rock much his SR. yr & JR. yr. I hope your KU coaching staff realize the talent they'll be over-looking. I really thought he should've chosen Purdue. Anyway, good luck KU, Texas fans will be watching.
