Investigation under way

From Wiki

"A riot is a form of civil disorder characterized by disorganized groups lashing out in a sudden and intense rash of violence against people or property. While individuals may attempt to lead or control a riot, riots are typically chaotic and exhibit herd behavior.

Riots often occur in reaction to a perceived grievance or out of dissent. Historically, riots have occurred due to poor working or living conditions, government oppression, taxation or conscription, conflicts between races, food supply or religions (see race riot, sectarian violence and pogrom), the outcome of a sporting event or frustration with legal channels through which to air grievances.

I went to KU from 95-99. Guess how many fights I saw on campus, let alone during the day during classes. Go ahead. Guess.

If you want me to be polite I could have said rumble. But this isn't the 1950's so I'll just call it what it is. Its a riot. It spiraled out of control like a riot. Old scores were settled like a riot. People with no connection to the issue at hand got involved like a riot.

It was a riot.

Investigation under way

They acted like children when they were involved in a riot on campus. They then proceeded to play like a distracted, terrible team. They turned on the students when they were strugling with ISU, proving how distracted and petty they were. Reesing gets benched and the team has the gaul to pretend they don't know why.

Now they have turned on coach.

Check please. I'd like to leave. Now!

And bring me a doggie bag so I can throw up.

KU coughs it up

It is so clear the entire scout team should have been playing the first half of the North Co. game. This team has been distracted all year. They weren't focused in the off season. Even when the season was going they'd win a game (in extreemly poor fashion against ISU) and complain about the fans. Then the captian gets benched and coninues whinning and whinning and whinning.

I love this team. I hope to god it gets its head together. But the time to do this was this summer. Then, Reesing should have been benched the very minute he bitched about the fans. We would have ripped Mangino a new one if he did that but looking back in hindsight at this season its clearly a sign of what was going on, clearly a sign of a distracted team.

They picked a fight with the basketball team, the student section and their own coach over percieved lack of respect when they need to be humbled. Now that they finaly are humbled maybe things will get better. I just wish some dudes could have been thrown off the team or something to make it happen sooner.

I'm pretty sure someone deserved to be tossed over that crap. I was fairly certian of it then and I'm almost completely convinced now.

Reesing: Benching ‘was a big deal to me’

So what if he got benched. He deserved to get benched. I agree it will effect his confidence but I realize something you don't Murph....

He was already playing without confidence and doing everything tentitively. He was already loosing the game. What's the worse that can happen? His confidence gets even lower and we loose even worse? One thing was clear. This situation wasn't fixing itself and action was needed.

We need playmakers. Todd needs to realize he's only here because Meyer couldn't get things done during the Colorado game in 06. He has since earned his spot but he rents it...its not his. The exact same thing can happen to anyone.

I don't know about your experience in football....but I spent my whole carrer looking over my shoulder and it was the best thing that ever happened to me.

Students’ halftime exits disappoint Jayhawks

Would it not help if either the LJW or UDK created a game day guide at the begining of the year. Its kind of pathetic but I think a huge issue is just un-educated fans. At the first game this year a student came to sit in our section and proceeded to cheer. When we didn't cheer with him he berated us, "Cheer for your team!!!"

"You don't cheer on offense" he was told.

10 straight minutes of him cheering and berating us followed. He was told by a full dozen season ticket holders that it is common knowlege that you don't cheer on offense until the ball is snaped.

"I cheer for my team at ALL times!" he replied.

"What about when they are shooting free-throws?" I asked to stunned silence. The guy moved to a different seat but you could tell he didn't believe us at all and thought WE were bad fans. I would totally welcome, if they think its thier place, for the team the coaches or the university to tell us exactly what they would like to see and hear so we could use it in situations like that one.

Students’ halftime exits disappoint Jayhawks

It may be a bit harsh. But I call not even coming close to playing as well as you are able as playing like garbage. And we havn't earned that ranking this year yet so you can save that argument. The defense in many ways is just like the crowd. Late to arrive with 1/3rd the people making up for the other 2/3rds.

I totaly agree with the posts here calling out the fans. I just don't want to hear it from the team. Not this year. They don't think we 'represent' the university well? I just found this idea completely ironic considering the half-hearted appologies we recieved a month ago. I'm ready to move on and have. But I don't want to hear that they are worried about anything but what they can control and I certianly don't want to hear that they feel hurt in someway. That just didn't fly with me.

That being said. Where was the team on this subject after the 2006 season? The fans that year made me want to puke. How close were we to a bowl game? How many games did we loose by one play or by one drive? Game after game after game the fans sat on thier hands while teams like aTm ran down our throats and took away the win. The difference between what happened that year and this is night and day. Compared to 06, this issue is nothing.

And as far as comparing this team to the crap teams we all had to watch in the 90's? I'm not giving this team an eternal pass to phone it in because things used to be much worse. They play to their potential or its garbage. I'm not asking for the National Championship. I might have tried to use a more polite or PC term. But it is what it is guys. We shouldn't be trailing to ISU at any point in the game past our 2nd possession. The team certianly knows this and the rest of us should too.

So my own hurt feelings aside :)

What is the solution? Cheer on every defensive down. Stand the heck up. And when people look at you like you are from Mars because you are trying to make noise on OU's 1st and 10, ask them quite directly why they are not helping.

Lets get something clear. The crowd at KU FB games has been a disgrace for years. Showing up after kickoff (i.e. not supporting the band in pre-game) and only cheering on a defensive 3rd down (i.e. not making noise throughout the defensive stan) when we know damn well what a crowd can do in other sports.

But lets get something straight.

The football team is embarrased of us??? Of us? Really? Nice.

Lets go back about 1 month shall we?

I'm sorry if this comes off as me being an jerk. I'm a season ticket holder and alumni. This is not the year that I want to hear any complaining out of either of these teams. You are a national embarrassment AND play like garbage. Don't complain on top of it, please. I've paid my money. I cheer all game long. You are wasting what I've given you so far with unfocused play and comments after the game.

I love this team more than life itself. But I wonder if they need to get their head straight.

KUsports.com gets ready to launch KU fan travel community

I realize this was a couple of years ago, but I have had some bad experiences with the Alumni Association. I'd go to events that no one showed up at. But thank you for the info.

Um. Could there posibly be information for the UTEP game posted? The dates and such on this list are confusing? We have a game in College Station? Did anyone read this before setting it up?

I'm desperate to find a watch party or place to see this game up here in Omaha (Cox up here dosn't get CBS College Sports). Any information would be great as when you call places up here you are met with disinterested husker fans who have no idea what else might be on the TV.

Stories to follow in 2009

Traditions don't change? Where can I get my slaves and can we get wife back in the kitchen then? You can wish for the old days they are gone. Unless you want to start some kind of massive campaign to educate I don't see the thrird sylable or the 'woo' being changed. And it certianly won't come if it starts with name calling...will it Meyer? No one changed it....it just changed. If its 3 sylables someone should tell the cheerleaders to make three movements.

And I, like many others here, are confused that you would miss the third sylable and not say anything about the complete negating effect having a high pitched 'WOOO' has on the chant?
