Mangino facing long odds to stay

99% of this is he said, she said. The physical abuse of a finger in a chest should be laughable to anyone who's played football, but I digress.
The fact is that Lew and Mark have butted heads for as long as Lew's been here and the very disappointing season is the perfect time for Lew to get rid of Mangino.
Now that all of this is out, there's no way Mark Mangino comes back. The allegations are way to damaging and will forever hinder his recruiting here.
Unfortunately its not whether its true or not, the allegations are enough.

Not-so-gentle reign

Poking a football player in the chest doesn't sound like much of a fireable offence to me. My coach would routinely smack my helmeted head and yell explitives at me if I messed up. This isn't the debate team, its a contact sport! Sounds like Lew simply doesn't like Mangino, more than Mangino is way out of bounds.

Gary Bedore's KU Basketball Notebook

Lets keep our fingers crossed Harrison Barnes chooses KU. I have to think we're the favorite, but you never know. He seems like a student-athlete we could be proud of having in our family. Same for Brandon Knight.
Its been quiet on the recruiting front... too quiet.

Gary Bedore’s KU basketball notebook

Thanks for all the help. I'll give the Lazer a try if I can't find it on Justin.tv. I think I've tried the Lazer before but it was the same issue (not the game broadcast), but I'll give it another try. As for the blog... well that's no fun. I like to hear/see the game!
I really just wanted to hear most of those non-nationally televised games anyway since I can work/play during the broadcast.
It kinda sounds like KU is preventing the broadcast outside of the local area to make us buy it on KUAthletics.com - big surprise I guess. I'm surprised I can't get it for free on the radio though.

Gary Bedore’s KU basketball notebook

I'm a Jayhawk living in Florida now. I used to listen to the non-nationally televised games on the local KC radio webcasts, like 610sports.com, and before that 980. Lately I've not been able to listen to those broadcasts via the internet. For some reason I get the national Fox Sports broadcast (I think).
Is there any where I can listen to the games on the internet?

Thanks,

BillHawk

Releford’s list at nine

Why all the hate on this site? Not just the previous post, but I see it a lot from posters about writers and articles. If you don't like a certain writer, don't read his articles...
I respectfully disagree with Timmay97. Travis Releford is part of our family and by extension so is his younger brother. Furthermore, KU has evaluated Trevor and there has been interest in the past. Therefore, its interesting on two levels: 1) He's part of our extended Jayhawk family and 2) KU is not recruiting him at this time.

One-and-done era a complete joke

Until we as fans appreciate the quality of the character as much as the quality of the athlete, this won't change (NBA or college).

I don't know what happens behind the scenes at KU, but I personally apprecaite the fact (or luck?) that we backed off of recruits like Lance Stevenson and John Wall. The last truly questionable athlete I can remember us signing wound up getting stabed in the leg at a night club, being accused of abusing his girlfriend, and ultimately (thankfully) transfering.

Long-term success cannot be achieved or maintained by lowering your standards, ethical or otherwise.

Kaun's squad second

I miss King Kaun. He was a great person and basketball player. I don't see him in the NBA, but I was hoping he'd be a CSKA Moscow stud!

Recruit 'circus' coming

28.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.1 steals a game last season is pretty amazing. Though I admit the 34% of three's is not good. I guess he takes it "to the hole" quite a bit. If he can get the three point shot worked out, he will get lots of publicity, and more importantly PT at KU.
