‘Robin’ to rescue

"Michigan (3-1) has been predicted to finish 11th in the Big 10" Maybe this conference should rename itself to "The Big we can't count to 11 conference".

Mangino's contract outlines probe

Folks, this is business and it's BIG business. Perkins has been in this game long enough to know when the ship is sinking. We need to remember that Perkins works for KU not Mangino or Self or any coach. He also has a responsibility for the well-being of the student athletes. At first, I defended Mangino about the situation only being a poke in the chest. But after the other allegations came out I had to step back and say whoa! Even if one or two of the stories are true, then he crossed the line-the same as Bobby Knight. Winning games does not give anybody Carte Blanche to be abusive and handle people that could be classified as being on the verge of assault. Games need to be won so stadium suites can be built and sold, recruits need to feel like they will be treated with respect if they play here. KU pays well enough now and have good enough facilities to get a good coach and good recruits. We have some very talented players coming back next year. Mangino will find an offensive coordinator job somewhere and the Hawks will be in a BCS bowl two seasons from now with either Chris Peterson(Boise State), Gary Patterson(TCU) or the UConn coach(now that would raise some eyebrows). Gotta love college sports and the high drama. Go Hawks beat Texas!!!

Not-so-gentle reign

If the personal attacks are taking place then he needs to go. It's plain BS to refer to someone's brother getting shot as motivation to get you to play football. I remember that simply the threat of being benched was motivation enough. As much as I loathe KState, I don't see Snyder motivating his team by referring to "going back to your homies." I think it's great what has happened to KU football under Mangino, but I think it's no accident that the 5 loses are happening. I think it's a direct result of Mangino's tactics. If that's the case, our team is not going to fare any better than this year dispite the talent we bring in. Happy trails coach, thanks for the memories. He's gone folks.

Investigation under way

I agree with Booze Hound. Spot On. This about business. The hawks have lost 5 straight with a talented team-not great but nevertheless talented. Mangino isn't correcting the problem and refuses to change his ways to motivate or find a solution. I thank the man for some great memories and I hate to see him get the boot but this is a what have you done for me lately sports world and lately things aren't gettin' done and revenue will soon be lost if a major change isn't made.

Mangino wins games, not friends

Sounds to me like Mr. Keegan has the inside scoop and Mangino is on his way out if Perkins is already looking for a new coach. Take care coach and thanks for the memories.

Probe aims to determine if Mangino went too far

His approach hasn't changed as said by players past and present. Recruits knew what they were getting into when they came to Kansas. This is football. If you can't take it, then don't come to Kansas to play-go to Fort Hays. He's not perfect, but he's been the most successful coach to ever be at KU. I will reserve judgement until all the facts are in.

KU-Texas set for 7 p.m. kickoff

If we end up 6-6, hopefully Lew can work his Bowl Game magic.

From bad to worse

Instead of getting pissed, my son and I tossed in the MU game from last year and then watched a bit of the Orange Bowl. That's how we chose to remember this year's senior class. What a great bunch of memories from this crew. I'll never forget the 60 yard bomb to Briscoe against Sam Houston and the crazy scramble pass play against Okie State. And lighting up NU for 72 points. Great memories. Now it's time to reload and GIVE OPURUM THE FRIGGIN' BALL!!!! Okay I feel better now.

Gary Bedore’s KU basketball notebook

Chuckberry,
Coach K just signed the #6 and #27th player in the country. Unless he wants to go to the NBA, I doubt he goes because he lost out on Barnes.

Robinson not just a ‘motor’

I personally don't think you can compare him completely to any of those players. Darrell Arthur didn't have much of a shot his freshman year either and didn't have near the motor or aggressiveness, Arthur didn't have the moves either. That up and under move he did on the mid block had shades of Manning. The pass catch on the run and dunk looked like the ups of Rush. If he developes a 10-15 footer, we can say so long Mr. Robinson and he'll be saying hello NBA after his sophomore year.
