Football Jayhawks honored

I hope everybody has the NFL network to get the Insight Bowl if the Hawks do go to that bowl.

FINAL: KU defeats UW, 73-54

Brock,
What game have you been watching? Morningstar played great defense and got some key steals early in the game. Freakin' lighten up and pay attention!!

Mangino offers no excuses

I agree with Fozdog. I think Reesing has been the most brutally honest. We simply don't have the talent and there are some injuries to key players. Quite frankly if our D line doesn't improve and if we don't get some linebackers, we'll be looking at the same situation next year. Nebraska from here on out is a North contender. Offensively we'll be okay. We need two tough interior linemen to take the place of Mayes and Cantrell. But interior linemen aren't as difficult to replace as tackles.

Slipping away :

Good Lord. We are bowl eligible and we will go to a bowl for the fourth time in 5 years. And some of you guys are ready to throw Mangino and company under the bus. Get a freakin' clue. Bill Young was gettin' the same love 2 and 3 years ago when we lost to Baylor. Building a consistent winning football team takes time. Mangino is getting the facilities and every year his recruiting star level creeps up higher and higher and he's doing it with mainly high school kids with character. Be patient and celebrate what we've got. I hope we're not throwing Bill Self under the bus too soon either because we're going to lose some Bball games also.

I disagree. Nebraska's Linemen are simply faster and stronger than our lines. Our Defensive players are sort of okay. Our d-line is not very fast and that is something you simply can't coach. Our Offensive line plays two freshmen tackles. KU fans will need to be patient. Last year was great but we benefited from a weak schedule and all the pieces came together. For the next two years we'll be putting pieces back together and hopefully with talent against a tough schedule. We are still a few years away from consistently getting big time talent to compete with the OU, Tex, Tex Tech schedule. It would be nice to have one of those teams scheduled during the Baylor schedule years.

Keegan: Huskers won this one on lines

Football games are won in the trenches. People can blame the coaches all they want but if you don't have talent or experience up front on the O-line and the D-line, you're not going to win games. With that said, KU is going to go through some interesting seasons this year and next year. They've got two freshman tackles and three senior interior lineman with a sophomore (Capra) gettin' playing time. Next year we'll have two experienced tackles but inexperienced interiors. A lot of our success will depend on everybody else's graduations. Anthony Collins' leaving early looms larger than we expected. I think you'll see Mangino and company hitting Texas very hard for those big linemen instead of recruiting guys who end up being conversions from one position to another.

FINAL: Ganz's 324 passing yards lead Nebraska to 45-35 victory

Easy everybody. We have an injured Caleb Blakesly, two freshman D linemen and two D ends that benefitted from double teams on James McClinton last year. The Dbacks benefitted from an all American cornerback who took away one third of the field. Which made the rest of the dbacks jobs easier. Also we had an easier schedule against teams who couldn't pass the ball. I dare say we wouldn't have been 12-1 last year with this year"s schedule. To put it bluntly we are exactly where all the experts put us. I predicted 7-5 but I'll be happy with a bowl game. What we need is two MONSTER FRICKING DEFENSIVE ENDS WHO GET OFF THE BALL. With all this said, I think Missery is beatable. To be honest our defensive talent level is marginal at best.

Prep Henry won't decide until spring

Leave the guy alone. He just had surgery on his face for Cripes sake and he won't be able to even play basketball for a month to a month in a half for his high school team. I think that's more on his mind than which college he's going to play for next year. With or without him, KU will always be contenders and X will have a solid college career.

Chalmers sets Heat record with 9 steals

Mr. Henry has more important issues right now-like his health. Be patient, at this point it's the most important decision in his life. I know I'd want the same latitude to make a decision like this.

Does Tech believe in miracles? Yes!

Is the KU-NU game on TV?
