Stories to follow in 2009

Traditions evolve Bill. Otherwise, how'd I end up with a shirt that has 5 different Jayhawks on the sleeve? I love them all.

KU hoops non-conference schedule released

I wouldn't think Floyd could pay players to play at USC.

Oh wait . . .

Never mind.

Athletic systems broken

Under the Budig manifesto, how much do NCAA universities owe to the high schools that have trained the players that generate the existing levels of revenue?

Prep star delays decision

No way KU ends up with Xavier Henry. He's the one big name Memphis recruit who has actually signed. Unless Memphis releases him, he'd have to sit a year and he clearly thinks he's a one and done.

Who else thinks it's funny that while Cal is sleeping on the KY job, Anderson is getting a shot at joining the SEC?

After getting run by Mizz, Cal can't be sleeping all that well.

Gary Bedore’s Kansas basketball notebook

Glad to hear Chalmers, Rush and Beasley will be in for the game. Maybe they can hook a brother up with a couple of buds.

Mid-range shot used too little

Yeah, great article Bill. Except that the numbers don't back you up.From 3, KU is shooting 38% which accounts for 1.15 points per attempt.Inside the arc, KU is shooting 53% which accounts for 1.06 points per attempt.If anything, KU is more effective from the 3-point line. The point is that having an inside threat makes it easier to score from three and having three point threats make it easier to score from inside.My suggestion to the team is stay the course and continue to balance your shot attempts from inside and outside.My suggestion to readers of the Mayer coumn is to cut it into 3 x 5 strips and keep near the commode in case you are snowed or iced in.

Collins: Team not worried about low expectations

The vegas odds reflect nothing more than the betting public's willingness to bet on a particular team. If KU fans started betting on Missouri, The tigers odds would get worse (for the bettor) and KU's would get longer. And nothing about either team would have changed.The odds predict how people bet, not how basketball teams perform.

Mayer: Pay to park? Please!

I am curious as to why he'd even need to go to the games. He just dusts off the same drivel he's been writing since manual typewriters were the rage and changes the names."if we win our first 3 games, we could be 3 and 0, but if we lose to that up and coming Tulsa/Central Mich/Toledo/fill-in the blank squad, we start the Big 8/12 slate at 2-1 and need to win at least two on the road to qualify for a bowl."Thanks Bill.
