KU basketball player Chase Buford enters diversion agreement in July DUI case

atexasjhawk:

I'm sorry, but are you calling Brady Morningstar a "star"?

I don't know whether to roll my eyes in dismissive condescension, or to burst out loud laughing at such preposterousness!

How Keegan voted

jross:

Wow, ad hominem. Classy!

jhawk613:

Just after you say that a team (KU) doesn't deserve to be in the top 25 because it lost on the road to a 1-4 team, you say that another team (Ohio State) team that lost on the road to a 1-5 team should fall to the bottom of the rankings. Inconsistent ever?

Students’ halftime exits disappoint Jayhawks

Here are some productive suggestions (hopefully someone in the athletic dept. reads this):

1) Saturday was cold, especially when the wind picked up. How about a KU stocking cap or KU mittens/gloves promotional giveaway?

2) Remember a few years back when Perkins really put his teeth into trying to get students into the stands in the first place? I seem to remember there were some type of lottery- or drawing-style promotions for a partial scholarship or a computer or something. Why not have similar giveaways, but do it at or near the end of the game? Not sure if awarding something by seat number would work, i.e., calling it out over the P.A. system. The student tickets might need to have some unique numbering or code. Or, speaking of a code, I believe all of the tickets already have bar codes. They could just utilize the bar code scanners at the student exits, just as they do for entering the game, and use that as the opportunity to give out some prizes.

Defensive disparity damning

FlaHawk,

Your analyses of KU players' NFL likelihood are false. Sharp and Meier do have NFL-level talent. In case you haven't been paying attention, both are freak athletes. Sharp is the fastest guy on the team, running the 40 in the 4.2s. That's right, sub-4.3. And if you haven't noticed what Meier can do on the field, then you're either not much of a KU fan, or you haven't been paying attention.

Alumni swimmers win

How did the men's team do against the alumni?

Oh, that's right. The program was cancelled a decade ago, and somehow Perkins hasn't shaken enough tens of millions of dollars out of the couch cushions to reinstate it. Now I remember.

KU's Biere could miss Duke game

"you don't always need a sixth set of hands (four receiver set plus Sharp/Opurum)"

whitechocolate, how many players do you think are on the field at once? If there are five offensive linemen (who are ineligible to receive passes), plus a quarterback to throw the passes . . . hmmmmmm . . .

Lineman has beef with Reesing

The caption under the picture says T-Hawk added 50 pounds since coming to Lawrence, but the article says 80 pounds. Which is it?

KU football releases updated depth chart

Why don't you guys plese bring the criticism of Quigley down a notch?

Even if he hasn't achieved your subjective opinion of "success," he graciously agreed to change positions (and sides-of-the-ball) for his senior year. Let's all just remember to appreciate that selflessness and team-first deference, even if he doesn't play a single minute this year.

On another note . . .

It's very exciting to see the true depth HCMM is starting to develop. To me, this is an encouraging sign that KU now has a football program--not just a football team--and a good one at that.
